## Biographical Information

### Other Family

Felicia Faux, Nash Faux

Mr. Faux (pronounced "fox" not "foe"—a running gag) is a wild animal at heart. He loves the thrill of adventure and is often willing to bend the rules a bit, which sometimes gets him in trouble. However, he values his family's safety and well-being above all else, which keeps him from getting himself caught *too* deep in shady shenanigans.

## Personality

> "I think I have this thing where I need everybody to think I'm the greatest; the quote-unquote 'Fabulous Mr. Faux'. And if they aren't completely knocked-out and dazzled and kind of intimidated by me, then... I don't feel good about myself."

Faux is overall a generally "good" toon; he doesn't get into danger or cause problems without reason. He is incredibly charismatic and likes to take charge of situations when possible, especially if that entails creating a plan. He thinks ahead, is quick on his wit, and will do everything in his power to protect those he cares about.

Even though Faux puts on a confident front, there have been many times where (although he will never admit it) he feels like he has failed his friends or family—and that thought scares him. Although, luckily for him, this mindset usually tends to act as motivation for him to make wiser choices in the future.

## Appearance

Faux is a Hausen fox with a steel, ball-and-socket armature skeleton and orange and white faux fur. He traditionally wears an olive green suit with gold accents, but has been known to style himself to fit the occasional as well (i.e. the Sunny Sails Cruise games, where he dressed in a typical "vacation dad" attire, complete with a Hawaiian shirt and leather fanny pack). He prefers to not wear shoes, as he finds it hinders his ability to sneak around when necessary.

Faux's tail is detachable; it was shot off a few years ago. Luckily, being Hausen, he was able to clip it back on. Although he does prefer to have it on most of the time, he chose to keep it detachable rather than sew it in case he ever found himself in a sticky situation again.

## Backstory

Mr. Faux relied on typical fox traits—slyness and cunning—when starting his career; he stole for a living. When he married Felicia Faux, she put up with his antics for a while. However, once she became pregnant with a cub, she implored Mr. Faux not to steal any more and to find an honest job. She wanted him to focus on being a father, and to protect their family rather than endanger it with his shenanigans. He agreed, getting a job as a newspaperman and writing in a column about the happenings of the town.

Great Harronsford, the town the Fauxs lived in, was a farming town known for its impeccable growing conditions. These very benefits ended up causing the great dispute between some Reelkind farmers that moved into the town and the Toonkind population that was already established there. This wouldn’t have been an issue, except that the Reelkind farmers in question were Bogus, Bryce, and Breen, three of the meanest, nastiest farmers to ever live. They are only in it for the profit, exporting most of their goods back to Firuuma and charging insane prices for the Toonkind locals. Their plan worked, and they became the richest farmers around. They drove the other local farmers out of business, forcing the remaining locals to empty their pockets in order to keep themselves from starving.

Mr. Faux didn’t like this, and he was never one to sit around and let others control his life. He returned to his roots in burglary and created a heist that would drive the farmers out of business and, hopefully, out of town as well.

He kept it quiet at first, stealing their goods from under their noses, but then the farmers decided to fight back. Faux’s tail was shot off in a surprise attack from the farmers, which ended up driving Faux and his family underground. They met up with some other local toons who had also dug underground to hide, and that’s when the Faux learned that his “great plan” might have backfired. Instead of driving the farmers out by stealing their goods, Faux had triggered the three mean farmers into an all-out rage against the Toonkind in the area.

Mr. Faux is no quitter, though, and he devised an even more cunning plan to get back at the farmers. Now that he had more manpower with the other toons involved, he proposed that they dig under the farmer’s farms and steal everything.

Which is exactly what they did.

This only made the farmers more furious, however. They fought back, flooding the underground tunnels and washing Mr. Faux and the other toons down to the sewers. Mr. Faux gathered everyone and created yet *another* plan, this time in hopes of ending the feud for good. Everyone used their respective talents to tease and distract the farmers to the point where they no longer had the higher-ground. Mr. Faux demanded that the farmers leave and never come back to Einquell, upon which they reluctantly fled the town.
The toons of Great Harronsford were victorious, and after a few short weeks they were able to return the town to its former glory. As for Mr. Faux and his family, they settled down in a nice house in a tree. Mr. Faux went back to being a newspaperman, but his wild animal instincts would never leave him. In fact, his itch to create masterful plans and perform crazy feats began to drive him mad. His wife finally told him to get out of town every once in a while and *do something.* Although he still writes in the paper occasionally, Mr. Faux is much more outgoing and on the search for his next big adventure. He always makes a point to return home, however, to visit his growing son and loving wife. He would do anything for his family.

## Shenanigans

You can find his complete playlist of games here.

**The Hounds of Schadenstein:** Faux attends the opening of a new museum, the Schadenstein History Museum, with intentions to mingle about and enjoy the exhibits. Unfortunately, things go a bit south when the owner of the museum is found dead. Faux and his new friends, Serif Bottomtext and Chichi, venture out to get to the bottom of this. On the way, they fight deadly hellhounds and discover a conspiracy that is far greater than they could have imagined.

**Trouble in Whatsnapp:** Faux finds himself in Whatsnapp a month after the opening of the Schadenstein History Museum, meeting up with Serif and Chichi again after they failed to stop Count Vladktor Von Schadenstein from returning from the dead. This time, the Count has ventured into Whatsnapp, and it's up to Faux and his friends to help him retrieve his four lieutenants *or else.*

**Sunny Sails Cruise - Destination, Lightbox Bay - Day 2:** After a rough few adventures, Faux has decided it's time for him to take a well-deserved vacation. He brings his family aboard the *Sunny Sails Cruise* in search of rest and relaxation. Instead, he finds himself in the midst of some serious monkey business taking place aboard the ship. Luckily, he manages to help clear up the commotion with the help of his new friends, although he certainly won't be getting himself into any more mishaps if he can help it... right?

**12FPS: The Faux and the Hen:** ...Wrong! Faux doesn't get a break from the chaos, not in the slightest. He happens to run into the Ticked-Off Chicken (TOC) and accidentally unsettles the bird. Feeling bad, Faux finds TOC later to apologize for making the chicken uncomfortable and offers to help TOC if he can. TOC, knowing Faux's background in thievery and heists, enlists his help in stealing some clothes for TOC's friend, Jackie.

**12FPS: Vulpes Veritas:** It's been a while since the events of the Sunny Sails Cruise, and Faux has fallen back into his casual routine. He visits the catalogs in the Toontown Library for some research purposes, however, much to his surprise, he finds himself face-to-face with TOC once again. Surrounded by archives of the past, it's only fitting that they begin to uncover some rather deep-rooted memories from their own lives as well. And, you know, maybe set off a fire alarm or two in the process.

**Exits and Dreams:** Faux has been recruited to help with an excavation deep in the mountains south of the Well of Inspiration, where a peculiar gem has gone missing. He meets Amaranth and Jun, and the three of them travel into the mysterious cavern to retrieve the gem. They are met with puzzles, magic, and some grumpy tortles (to whom Faux offers real estate help, but is unfortunately denied). Faux helps Amaranth work through some personal troubles with a bottle of drinking vinegar, and in the end the trio may or may not choose to do some crime. I guess you'll just have to listen to find out!

**A Ride to Die For:** A ticket?! For a vacation?!? Faux will never turn down a vacation, especially if it's free of charge. Unfortunately, he can't bring his family along this time. Which turns out to be in his favor, seeing as him and the two other winners, his old pal Amaranth and his new friend Danny, board the wrong train. This wouldn't normally be such a big deal if it weren't for the fact that the train they got on happened to be the train of the dead, and now they're all headed to the end of the line! Faux and his new friends have to do some quick thinking in order to escape this train before they join their fellow passengers and cease to live.

## Fun Facts

Faux carries around dozens of black bandit hats in a variety of shapes and sizes, which he gives to the toons who aid him in his more chaotic, shady shenanigans. These bandit hats act like a disguise kit, which Toonkind are proficient with.
