Barnaby Harvey/Barnaby Typhosoon

## Relationships

* Thinblade

**Barnaby Typhosoon** was a character in *CRiTORA.* He was a Tornado CRiTORA from the Cloud District.

In 2023, he was repurposed as Barnaby Harvey.

## Description

*"**The Tornado CRiTORA.** A scatterbrained CRiTORA who always has his head over the clouds... literally. It is said that Barnaby can blow off anything out of his way should his arms not wear anything on; as this is true, 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 he serves as her apprentice since he changed his ways. Oh, he still doesn't think straight sometimes."*

## Character

### 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.

#### Default outfit

He wears grayish indigo and white striped sleeves. Formerly, he wore an inverted ViRUS emblem on the cloud.

## Story

Even though Barnaby was often turned down because he blew off things just by touching them, he meant well. 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 that got on his path, unconscious about 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 deep within themselves, were heavily traumatized by the Infestation Invasion.

### Redemption

Barnaby was, not the first to know about Frostie's redemption, but the first to accept it. Once Barnaby got ahold of his thoughts and actions and managed to organize them in one place, he no longer blew things once he got ahold of them, not even when not wearing arm warmers. He continued to be a scatterbrained CRiTORA, yet he got to know that the ViRUSES' intentions were never good.

After his redemption, Barnaby became mentored by Frostie, and both assisted Thinblade to make them fit in with the CRiTORA with no luck. 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.

## Development

Barnaby was created in Late 2020, though he was not revealed until June 2021, making him the last member of the CRiViRUS Gang to be revealed at the time. His original and reveal name was **Harvey Typhosoon**. Due to potential controversy regarding his name and what he was, it was changed to **Barnaby** exactly three months after his reveal.

Like with all CRiTORA characters originally designed by LastyGhost, Barnaby was retired as such in Late 2022. Along with her primary designs -those who mattered to her the most, Barnaby was repurposed as a Choonieverse character.

### Design

Barnaby is based on tornadoes.

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.

When repurposed as a Choonieverse character, Barnaby's initial color palette was transferred to his new human design. In Mid-Late 2023, Barnaby's current design was updated to feature his CRiTORA embodiment's Late 2022 palette, as it is simpler.

### Name

His last name comes from *Typhoon* and *Monsoon*.

## Trivia

* Prototype V-Barnaby resembled Thunderbolt from *Skylanders*. Should V-Barnaby have been designed at this date, this would not be possible.
* His birthday matches a common date at which tropical storm seasons end.
