Bubsy the Bobcat

Bubsy the Bobcat, also known as the Bubster, is the titular main protagonist from the Bubsy series.
== Charactah Account ==
Bubsy is a wise-cracking, anthropomorphic Bobcat that believes himself as a hero despite usually making things worst and fixing them by mistake.
Bubsy is displayed as being an overly enthusiastic bobcat that doesn't back down from danger, as he frequently states "What could possibly go wrong?" He is even displayed as having a bit a wit as he cracks jokes towards the player while breaking the fourth wall.
Bubsy is very agile, as he can jump in long distances and can perform quick attacks to defeat enemies. Alongside this, he can glide long distances and use air currents to use that ability to fly. He also has super running speed capable of outpacing even projectile sound waves.
