About
PERSONALITY
There can never be a dull moment with Kiko, the little catboy who seeks fun more than anything. He is a mischievous child who follows his heart; playing pranks and causing trouble wherever he goes.
Like other cats, Kiko is inquisitive about people or things new to him, often asking about the games they play (and if they have any on their phone). He loves being around others and is well liked by everyone his age. They all usually bond over ball sports such as soccer or basketball, but Kiko's favorite sport is a game called sipa. Adults on the other hand are not as fond of his antics, especially one scientist who prefers silence.
STORY
Kiko loves the unknown. To meet someone new, eat something new, find somewhere new. Not a day passed by without something to sate his curiosity.
Sitting by the water, one question was on his mind- What was on the island within mysterious lake that his friends talked about?
His parents were supportive of his many adventures, but he was not allowed to set foot on that island. None who entered have returned from it. Rumor has it that a monster lived there. No other explanation made sense, but without any proof, how would anyone know if the monster was real?
And so Kiko's mind was set on finding the truth. He invited his friends to join him. This will be their greatest adventure so far, he said. But no one wanted to go. This was different. This was too dangerous for them. They tried to convince Kiko not to leave, but they knew that once Kiko was set on something, nothing would be able to change his mind. Kiko promised (or lied) that he wouldn't get too close, and they believed him.
Going to the island was no issue as he could simply fly over. He contemplated bringing food and his other items with him, but he decided against it as it would probably be too heavy. Instead, he settled on bringing his favorite scarf-- one that was a gift from his parents. If he ever needed to rest, he could always use it as a pillow. With the scarf snuggly wrapped around his neck, he set off for the lone island across the lake.
It was empty. Not a single creature roaming the forest, other than insects. It looked safe enough for Kiko, who took his first step on the island. There wasn't anything special about the island. Trees in every direction. A hint of saltwater in the air. A strange sense of foreboding.
Before he realized it, Kiko had wandered close to a bog, hidden by the treetops. It was unlike any other in Minglupa. A barren land deep within the living forest. His instincts were screaming at him to stay away, but he couldn't help wanting to know more.
A monster burst out of the ground and startled Kiko. A berberoka was woken up by Kiko muttering to himself. It saw Kiko as a threat to its home, believing he was a thief, but he only wanted to find something cool to tell his friends about. Kiko was caught off guard by the monster’s barrage of water blades. Kiko, trying to escape, lost his arms along with part of his ear, wing, and tail.
With one wing crippled, Kiko had no choice but to run further into the bog; dodging the attacks of the lumbering berberoka as his vision started to blur. It did not take long for him to outrun the monster thanks to his quick feet, but he was running out of time.
Kiko hid in the ruins of an ancient temple in a that was disguised as a cave. Its design was unfamiliar to him. Even in this situation, Kiko still wanted to explore- to look for help, find something cool, anything. Though with his blood loss, he definitely needed help first.
He searched the ruins until the floor broke apart, falling into a pool of green slime. Sinking into the shimmering substance creeping over him. Accepting his fate, he closed his eyes waiting for the end. Suddenly, he felt the slime latching onto his body.
Hollow slime merged with the blood of the parts he lost, save for his arms which stopped the blood yet left alone. Before sinking further, Kiko tried to reach for a ledge and unconsciously used the scarf he was wearing to pull himself out. He rushed out of the temple as quickly as possible and used what little energy he had left to fly out of the island and back home.
Kiko had found out that the slime, along with refilling parts of his ear, wing, and tail, gave him telekinesis. The power flowing through him was weak, but enough to control one object at a time. As he was still devastated with the loss of his arms, he opted to use the beloved scarf that saved him as his makeshift arms instead. It wasn't the same as the real thing, but it would have to do.
Months passed, and Kiko continued going on more adventures with his friends. The phantom feeling of his arms was always on the back of his mind, but he wasn't going to let that stop him from answering the same question each day: what else was there for Kiko to discover?
EXTRA
- He doesn't really talk much because he's shy about his tongue, but he still laughs and smiles a lot. The closer he is with someone, the less ashamed he is about his tongue which means he will become more talkative.
- The more you spend time with him, the more noticeable his lisp is but it doesn't really bother him or anyone else.
- He tries to keep extreme emotions in check because strong feelings such as happiness, sadness, or anger makes the slime on his body more liquid and melty, and he thinks it's disgusting. He can't control when he laughs too much after seeing a successful prank, though.

Relationships
Jaime wintyebig sister figure
"Ate Jaimeee! She's sooo cool! I've always looked up to her since forever. Whenever she'd hang out with me and my friends I'd always hold on to her arm while she flexes. She's so strong! I really miss her. I'm gonna ask her if she wants to race with me when she comes back. I won't lose though!"
Kiko really looks up to Jaime and calls her Ate Jaime (big sister Jaime). He's known her for more than half his life and he enjoys visits from her when she goes back to her hometown.
musika muretesuper cool person
"Hehe. Everyone's always trying to stay away from Ate Mumu but she's not even that scary! I love visiting her home and looking at all the cool stuff she makes. I probably shouldn't be doing that cuz she gets mad but no one can stop me! I do what I want!"
He once stumbled upon Musika's territory and has always visited her since. Kiko loves seeing the creations Musika makes, such as her wood carvings and experiments. He loves asking her questions about anything she does, much to her annoyance.
