Axl Ottle

(This page is currently a Work in Progress! Please be patient!)

Axl is a fan character that appears between Freedom Planet 1 and 2. He's never heard of Lilac and friends and prefers to be alone.

## Appearance

Axl is an average heighted axolotl who wears a blue tank top vest, black shorts, a pair of blue flip flop sandals and a backwards baseball cap. His black shorts have a white stripe on each leg, and his baseball cap resembles Gold's from Pokemon Silver, with a blue star shape in the centre. Axl has a lot of spiky black hair, six sky blue feathery tendrils at the side of his head, 3 on each side, blue eyes, and black eyelids. He's often seen with a stern expression, although sometimes he may be sad and also trying to hide the fact that he is. Although in his Shang Mu Architect appearance, he has black triangle markings on his arms, similar to Carol's darker green, which was later confirmed his official appearance. He also has a scaly tail from behind, and a set of gills on his neck.

## Personality

Axl is a very regretful person. He spends most of his days trying to make friends after his break-up with Candy. When talked to, he'll either ignore you, push you away, or just treat you badly. He doesn't mean any harm, he's just emotionally troubled. Even when he does things he thinks is good, they're still bad, and he's given up being nice to people. The only person he talks to is Zao, but even then the two barely communicate. Think of him as Spade, but poor, not royal, and just an overall asshole.

## History

Axl and Candy had a shared love for music in school, which Axl lived a long way away from. Because of this, he spent a lot of time in Shang Mu with his school friends, with Trip and Candy, playing music and getting along with people, which had been great progress for him since his parents had recently divorced and separated. After a few months, he and Candy started dating, and all was well, until Axl started becoming needy and Candy wanted none of this, and decided it was best to end the relationship there. Axl, knowing the breakup was his fault, continuously takes it out on himself to this day, hence his negative attitude towards everyone. He realised he was the problem, until he saw Zao offer him a job to hunt down and bring Umi to him, and lied saying that Candy may fall in love with him, unaware of Candy and Umi's relationship. Axl sees the two together, happy and enjoying their time, and at first is extremely eager to remove Umi from the picture forever, and have Candy to himself again under Zao's brainwashing, only to realise he's been fooled, forgetting about the past and becoming SLIGHTLY friendly with everyone again.

## Relationships

Candimore 'Candy' Cottonwood

He and Candy used to be musical lovers, before Axl started using Candy for his own personal gain, which Candy found to be extremely selfish. In turn, Candy is strict around him, but he's doing his best not to let go of their friendship.

## Trivia

* Axl's name, Axl Ottle, is a pun on his species name, axolotl.
* His design was mostly inspired by Gold from Pokemon Silver.
* No one likes this guy. Neither should you.
* He gave Candy gills back when they dated. He has a special ability which allows him to give loved ones gills to breathe. Now, he took those gills off of Candy.
* Axl is canonically straight, but a lot of people think he's gay, and ship him with Trip.
* He's the second character to be voiced by his creator, first being Norine. Difference is, he's entirely voiced by Blue\_Star, while Norine is voiced by Blue\_Star and Akkuyo1116 together.
* Axl appears in the Freedom Planet fan game, Shang Mu Architect, created by WhiteLillyDragon. His current character bio reads, "Axl, stirring up trouble! He is a mean-spirited, but well-meaning axolotl, which gets him into a lot of trouble. What's going on in that empty head of his? You decide!" While the original, written by Blue\_Star, reads, "Axl is a quirky but mean axolotl, but he does his best to try. He's quiet, but dumb witted, and tries his best to be friendly"
* In Freedom Horror, Axl is Norine's first victim. (Note, Classic and FH Norine are two different people). She kills him by tearing off all of his limbs, gouging out his eyes, and oulling his head off of his body. This is also a reference to Lost Silver, a Pokemon Creepypasta, where Gold, the main protagonist, follows a similar death.
