Gold

**Gold** is one of the main characters in the Pink Corruption series (Both Continuations). He is the hero of the yellow Tree of Life, taken care of by Pyrare. Gold is also the first hero born and assuming the Tree releases heroes once a year after its first anniversary, this makes Gold chronologically three years old.

## **Role**

Gold mainly serves as the Hero of the Yellow Tree of Life and the assigned hero with his caretaker, Pyrare, who is responsible with the other heroes to protect the shape citizens in Paradise by purifying the Pink Corruption Virus.

## **Personality**

During his introduction, Gold is reserved, grouchy, and a highly introverted shape around others, especially the shapes he first meets. This highlights his struggles with communication and social interaction. Pyrare noted this characteristic, which was first demonstrated in Season 1, Episode 4, when Gold concealed himself behind his caretaker and greeted Cube and Cyan with bitterness before quickly retreating back into hiding. This behavior implies that Gold's communication difficulties make it challenging for him to be more open and approachable with other shapes.

These traits can be proven further when Gold becomes tremendously uncomfortable when shapes get too close to his personal space. Evidently, in a deleted scene from Season 1, Episode 3, when Tsavorite pulls him in for a hug with the others, Gold looks seemingly angry and uneasy by it. This characteristic further underscores Gold's difficulty with social interaction and discomfort in group settings. Although it is unclear if Gold has this trait in the main series, however, Gold doesn't appear to be uncomfortable about being carried or held by others such as when, at times being held by Tsavorite.

Gold appears to be lackadaisical and unmotivated, who seldom contributes or offers assistance to the rest of the group. For example, despite the other caretakers and heroes offering to assist Cintagon in a battle against Commando Circumcannon, Gold apparently expresses no interest in joining and instead chooses to fall asleep with Pyrare since Season 1, Episode 5. This lack of initiative and motivation implies that Gold may not be particularly proactive for some reason. Nonetheless for his reputation for being lazy, Gold has demonstrated a willingness to fight alongside his friends in challenging situations on occasion. This was evident in his participation in the takedown of corrupted hordes of flowers with his caretaker, Pyrare, during the Tree Monster fight in Season 1 finale.

Despite his reserved and grouchy demeanor, Gold deep down does have a caring side in him to close loved ones, particularly his caretaker, Pyrare. In the Season 1, Episode 5 intro, when Pyrare embraces Gold, he responds with a smile, indicating his affection and the bond he shares with Pyrare. This suggests that beneath his grumpy exterior, Gold possesses a softer side and cares deeply for those very close to him.

However, Gold is capable of speaking up more when he deems it necessary. For example, in a surprising moment, Gold provides an explanation for Dub's new temporary ability to give birth to corrupts without requiring a host for survival, using the separated tree fragments. This sudden display of verbosity catches the others, including his caretaker, Pyrare, off guard, as they are taken aback by Gold's uncharacteristic assertiveness since Season 1, Episode 10.

## **Powers and Abilities**

### **Special Abilities**

**Purification Beam** - When Gold uses his chest triangle, he shoots out beams of light to attack or purify shapes who were infected with the Pink Corruption virus.

**Telekinesis** - Gold can hypothetically hold, move, and levitate objects and living beings with his mind. In Season 1, Episode 8, he was strong enough to carry Pyrare's head around whenever he went.

**Flight -** Gold can fly very quickly to things at a burst of speed. Additionally, this power also has a special sound that increases in pitch.

**Pink Corruption Resistance -** Gold cannot be infected by The Pink Corruption. But however, he can still be defeated if he gets touched by it, breaking him into pieces like fragile glass.

**Immunity Armor -** In Season 1, Episode 8, Gold seemingly has a special ability to give others some sort of protective yellow armor to be invulnerable for a short amount of time from being infected by the virus. As seen when Gold was able to quickly give the other caretakers and heroes protection before they were about to become infected before landing in the corrupted lake.

### **Skillset**

**Drawing Skills:** In the Tsavorite Art Concert short, Gold showed to be a good artist, he was able to draw his caretaker, Pyrare in a well-detailed drawing, surprising the other heroes from his drawing skill.

* **Fragility** - Just like the other heroes, if Gold gets hit enough times from the Pink Corruption Virus, he will be broken down like glass and die.

## **Trivia**

* Gold's first appearance onscreen was during the Episode 2 Intro, but on a post in Lucas the Dubber's (now unavailable) Amino profile, he was revealed as concept art sometime before the release of Season 1, Episode 4. In this concept art, he mostly looks the same with the exception of his bandana not being located around his left leg, but instead around his neck, like Cyan. This is the case for most other heroes in this Amino post.
* He was supposed to debut in Season 1, Episode 3 separately from his caretaker.
* Gold has spoken the least in the series apart from the shorts, with his only line being “Hello...”.
	+ However, he was planned to have more dialogue in Season 1, Episode 3.
	+ His "speech blip" is different in Season 1, Episode 3 deleted scene, implying that this was changed for Season 1, Episode 4.
* Gold is the only hero who speaks a foreign language in the dubbed version. He is heard demanding food, and spouting random pieces of dialogue, such as “Sign contract!”, or ”She’s pretty!” Upon seeing Pentellow.
* In Episode 5 dub, it's shown that he likes ice-cream.
