Barnaby Typhosoon

Barnaby Typhosoon was a Cloud District CRiTORA and the planned Cloud District member of the CRiViRUS Gang. 
In 2023, he was repurposed as Barnaby Harvey for LastyGhost's Outback Outrun.
== Bio==
The Tornado CRiTORA. A scatterbrained CRiTORA who always has his head in the clouds... literally. It is said that Barnaby can blow anything out of his way if he's not wearing anything on his arms; as a safety measure, Barnaby always wears something to cover them, though he's attempting to get ahold of things without blowing them off. He often doesn't think before he acts, which is what led him to join the CRiViRUS Gang after the Infestation Invasion. After Frostie's redemption, Barnaby knew what was best for him and serves as her apprentice after changing his ways, though he still doesn't think straight sometimes.
=== Personality ===
Barnaby's thoughts are tremendously scrambled, which leads him to act on impulse; even his speech pattern is erratic and can confound the simplest words. Despite this, Barnaby means well, and he will protect those he trusts.
==Physical appearance==
Barnaby's body is grayish blue and resembles the generic shape of a tornado, which is an inverted cone. He has rounded eyes with cornflower blue irises, puffed cheeks, and atop his body are four equidistant fringes reminiscent of hair. His arms are made of air and are grayish blue, sporting hands with five, sharp fingers. His body is held by a white cloud. He wears grayish indigo and white striped sleeves. He formerly wore an inverted ViRUS emblem on the cloud.
===Abilities===
*Out of Grasp: Barnaby sends objects flying just by touching them with bare hands.
*Blowoff: A projectile of concentrated wind that can knock back the target.
*Huff 'n' Puff: A blow that heavily knocks back the target.
*Winding Swarm: An air column that damages the target upon hitting the floor. If the weather is cold, there is a low chance of freezing the target.
*Rising Storm: Barnaby will make the current weather cloudy and release thunderstorms, blizzards, or typhoons depending on the type of biome he is in, attacking every CRiTORA on its path. The resulting weather will weaken overtime after this skill has been utilized. This can only be used once per month.
==Story==
Despite being a well-meaning CRiTORA, Barnaby was often turned down because he blew things away just by touching them. He often did not think straight, which led him to get close to dangerous places or, during the Infestation Invasion, a ViRUS too sturdy for his tornado hands. Infected, he slashed through everything in his path, oblivious to the damage he was causing.
Once he got disinfected by the GUARDiANS, Barnaby's thoughts became less clear, most of which led him to join the CRiViRUS Gang, a group of troublemakers that, on the surface, were allied with the ViRUSES, but, unbeknownst to most, were heavily traumatized by the Infestation Invasion.
===Redemption===
Barnaby was not the first to know about Frostie's redemption, but he was the first to accept it. Once Barnaby managed to get his impulsive thoughts and actiosn under control, he no longer blew things away once he got ahold of them, not even when not wearing arm warmers. He continued to be a scatterbrained CRiTORA, but he knew that the ViRUSES' intentions were never good.
After his redemption, Barnaby became Frostie's apprentice, and both assisted Thinblade to help them fit in with other CRiTORA, to little success. Despite this, they considered them as a friend more than an ally, and they were the first to know about Thinblade's obsession with the Choonieverse.
==Trivia==
*His first name was originally going to be Harvey, but it was changed to Barnaby to avoid causing controversy.
**Harvey would become his last name once he was repurposed for Outback Outrun.
*Barnaby's tendency to act without thinking caused him to join the CRiViRUS Gang.
*What kind of destruction he would cause was not specified during his development, but he would often team up with Frostie Brrizald.
**After both CRiTORA's redemptions, he would've become Frostie's apprentice.
*His infected form would've resembled Thunder Bolt from the Skylanders franchise, although this would not be the case were Barnaby designed in the current style.
*His 2023 LastyGhost artwork depicts him with an even more scatterbrained appearance. He also lacks the ViRUS emblem in this artwork.
===Design origins===
Barnaby is based on tornadoes.
===Name origins===
His last name comes from Typhoon and Monsoon.
=== Design changes ===
His Pilot Season design had his color palette composed of purple, pink, and indigo, and he had a complex pattern on his arm warmers, one that resembled ribbons in a spiral pattern. He only received subtle changes in 2021 prior to his reveal, and his design stood that way until Late 2022, in which his color palette was simplified along with the arm warmers' pattern, which became stripes.
