Charcoal Rabbit Company

Charcoal Rabbit Company is a fictional company created by Charles Topley in Early 2020 where he creates anything he wants. Kinda in the same vein as Walt Disney, Marvel Comics, and other big dreamers who create a company. With his company, he makes comics, YouTube videos, artwork, and animations, writes stuff, and generally makes whatever his heart desires.

## History

The company didn't completely form until early 2020. In February 2019, Charles Topley at age 14 created a YouTube channel called The Cinemacom Channel. It originally had the subtitle Hybrid Charizard Creator. He made videos about different things and comics. They were a bust, nobody wanted to watch them. (Which is one of the reasons why many of the old videos I made are long gone) He had no clear direction on where to go. His original big plan in life was to create an FNAF fan game and go all out with it. With different characters from different franchises and stuff never found or done in an FNAF game before or soon. But that was scrapped due to technical reasons, time, money, and other reasons. (However, some script of the would-be game was posted on Deviantart) For a while, Charles had no symbol or mascot for his dream company. All he had was himself and the idea of using some unique Charizard pokemon for it. After playing Sonic Forces as a black rabbit with blue features, he finally settled on a mascot. Charcoal the Black Rabbit. (Shorten to Charcoal Rabbit) He chose the name Charcoal because Charcoal is used for fires and the first half of his name reflects himself. Charcoal was designed not to wear pants by default. (Mainly to separate him from Oswald the Lucky Rabbit with the blue color on him) Blue was Charles' favorite color and also a symbol of characters that inspired him along the way. With that, he changed the subtitle of his YouTube channel from Hybrid Charizard Creator to Charcoal Rabbit Company. (Originally written as Charcoal Company)

For a while, he went right along with creating new comics, characters, experimenting, and creating social media pages. ￼

In 2022 and early 2023, Charles decided to take a completely different direction. He decided to make a big retcon from his past works and start anew. He deleted old YouTube videos and artwork that's not very good. He also made character bios to set his characters in stone. Charles created a wheel to decide which character should win their respective comic, making it so everyone in his comics get an even chance. He also retconned himself out of the picture to be in a big project he's writing. A serious, dark graphic novel. After receiving poor reception of his current art style, he decided to change it to have less eye-burning colors, and more realism.

The dark graphic novel Charles tried to make was cancelled. Because he made it too dark and his mom shut it down. He was so devastated at what he created and the problems the book caused. He just deleted all documents of the books and erased all social media posts related to the book. Charles decided to just move on and save face as much as possible.
