GUY
Character
AIRHEADED TECHNOPHILIC TIMID
Guy is a bashful, but kind Keaton living on the outskirts of Vhintl. Managing a textile mill with his boyfriends, he lives quietly amongst the other villagers.
He's a bit eccentric, preferring the company of the cotton warps and the watermill to other people, but he's a pleasant fellow if you can put up with his one-track machinist mind.

Design
In his fox form, Guy is loosely inspired by the gray fox, although the fluff around his neck is much shaggier. It's usually dyed blue thanks to Pierre's efforts— an aspect reflected in his human disguise.
As a human, Guy is freckled and broad, with thick and somewhat unkempt hair that starts blonde at the roots. He appears much stouter as a human than as a fox.
Design Notes
- His coloration is based off of the gray fox's leucistic morph.
- He’s missing his left incisor. It’s more apparent in his human form.
- He has three tails!
- He can occasionally be found with patches of fur dyed in other colors, since Pierre sometimes uses him to test his dyes.

History
"who playin outside tomorroe"
Guy has always been weird. This is just a fact of life. Before the Blight Bloom led him to Vhintl, he was ostracized from the other Keatons— not for any especially concrete reason, but merely for being weird, in a way that the people around him found to be unpalatable. He struggled to understand others’ expectations of him, struggled to find his place in the world, and struggled to be understood in turn by those he shared a burrow with.
As the years ticked by, his family and friends expected him to eventually find a mate, and potentially, even, to leave the burrow for one of the others in the nearby cluster of dens. Some even hoped those journeys would swiftly rid them of Guy’s inconvenient presence. It was no surprise, then, that when the Blood Moon brought them out of their dens and towards the still-standing Vhintl, Guy jumped at the chance not only to prove himself to be more than the black Bokoblin of the family, but to escape the suffocating desires of the Keatons he grew up with.
It was there that he met Pierre: an abrasive man, yes, but a man who fought fiercely, and who understood what it meant to be cast aside from his community. The two of them fighting together was mere coincidence. The two of them working together, however, was intentional— a show of goodwill between two struggling outcasts, and then of friendship and mutual understanding.
currently…
Pierre and Guy’s union as partners is the pinnacle of unusual, but it seems to be working out well for them. Guy lives with Pierre and the rest of their boyfriends at the textile mill near Vhintl’s outskirts, where he’s a real homebody. He’s very skittish and prefers to keep to the folks he knows are safe, but once he opens up, he’s very kind, if not a little scatterbrained and with a one track mind.
Although his ‘day job’ is that at the mill, he has a passion for engineering, and helped design and build their waterwheel alongside Pierre’s ex-girlfriend, Mili. In addition, he helps maintain and upkeep most of the machinery they use in the mill.
Trivia
- He prefers to do delicate work in his human form, where dextrous fingers make everything so much easier.
- Despite being a member of a polycule, he has no romantic interest in anyone, including Pierre— but he feels very strongly about some of the machinery in the mill, especially his beloved spinning wheel...
Relationships
PIERRE
BOYFRIENDPierre and Guy are, in many ways, inseparable. Although some might remark that they don't spend very much time around each other in public, they're very close in private and even have a tendency to be codependant.
They may be an odd couple, but everyone close to them would agree they're rather smitten with each other, in a way only "those two" can be.
MILI
FRIENDMili and Pierre broke up before Guy ever met either of them, but she and Guy get along splendid! Their shared passion for engineering means they spend a not-insignificant amount of time in the same circles, swapping information, tools, and supplies. They work both separately and on shared projects— and he loves when she carries him around!
