wait- your name is 7oby (Toby) and you had a cat named toby- which came first your name or the cats name- who stole who's name ~pumpkin anon

The cat came first. I needed a name to sign my art with and didn't want to use my birth name so I borrowed the cat's. But then it started getting a little confusing because there was Toby (cat), Toby (me), and Toby (character), and I was super into Halo at the time so I swapped the T out for a 7 haha

Bungie, Halo's devs, used to hide references to the number 7 EVERYWHERE in their old games. Like map layouts would branch out into 7 directions, random numbers would add up to 7 or were a multiple of 7, characters would have 7s hidden in their textures, etc.

Somehow 7oby stuck. It's been 18 years. I'm indifferent about it at this point and honestly only still use it because Sol (character) and Sol (me) can get confusing. 5ol is out of the question, I've already laughed at that idea lol

#asks #Way back when I used to have an original setting that my very first fursona fit into #And there was a character for each number 0 through 9. 5 was 5oap and was an albino cat mechanic with biomecha wings #I didn't write any of it down so my memory is foggy...#But iirc they were all experiments in DNA splicing and they all had unique powers #5oap had sort of like an anti-gravity thing going on but it was hard to control hence the wings. He couldn't propel himself without them #7oby absorbed radiation and used it to power a magic sword that looked like a dragon head. It didn't have a blade by default but when it-#-was turned on it would flash-freeze moisture into a cobalt blue magic ice blade #I think there was a big downside to 7oby's radiation powers like it wasn't entirely safe to be around them when-#-they had a lot stored or something but I can't remember if I ever came up with a workaround for that or how 7oby dealt with it #7oby did have a red bandanna/headband though. /Hilarious/ in hindsight
