## **Biography:**

* Origins
* SheyGrell's rewrite

Kofuku is essentially extensions of X himself, made from his power combined with powerful emotion of Happiness from humans. X uses him to help him kill and torture humans more easily.

'Kofuku', or as his possible new name, 'Thou Who Elates', was the result of an experiment that EXE was working on to replicate how one of the others came to be. Unfortunately, though mainly because of some unbeknownst & accidental interference from a human, the result wasn't quite what he was looking for. In fact, it was a disaster. Not only was this creature without even an ounce of fighting nature, but the best he could manifest with his fingers were... Brushes. Not a claw or weapon in sight. The worst part was details like how bright eyed & proud this new guy was of such a thing. His almost child-like sincerity & intrigue was just... Not at all what was expected, to put it mildly.
The sad truth is that after being put through trials to see what he could do, Kofuku became the one guardian EXE regretted, and had no use for. For just a start, not only did this one question things, but of all things, he questioned him. Not a deal breaker, but still a problem that got worse. There was even an attempt to see how he'd work with the others through various tasks, and the results were total calamity. EXE and the smaller number of other guardians at that point simply cast him away into the wilderness like the failed experiment he was seen as, left to ask himself what the hell he did wrong.
The thing about Kofuku, is that he's genuinely not evil. He means no harm whatsoever towards anyone, and his personality is incredibly sweet-natured. He's not psychotic or manic, and has not even a single malicious intent up his sleeve... But unknown to EXE & his henchmen (At first), Kofuku might actually be the single most dangerous & powerful of them all.
The brushes he can manifest on his fingers at will (And essentially turn his entire hand into, if need be) allow him access to all colors under the spectrum (And some that are hard to describe... They kind of keep changing, shifting about & mingling in compensation for how a human eye can't quite process them), and the use of a substance that appears to have the properties of paint. It's so much more than that. It's also anything but safe to be around.
He quickly found that he has an astounding natural talent for creating a wide variety of art on most surfaces, from simplified to detailed. Even liquid. He does so just by touching said surface of choice, and the image he desires rapidly sprouts out, stroke by stroke, at whatever size he wishes. The finished product is truly something to behold by anyone who happens to see it. On a visual level, it's magnificent. Capable of being entrancing, even.
The problem is the image reacts to anyone else who is staring at it, and the reaction it draws from their psyche is wildly unpredictable & damn near limitless. We're talking possibilities from 'Big thing comes to life & everyone has a bad day' to 'Portal that goes somewhere you really don't want to be in'... Both actually happened and were an ugly time for those involved. And if this stuff should actually come into contact with skin... Well, let's just say it isn't pretty for whoever it belongs to.
But the worst part about this, is that Kofuku means none of it. The disasters that happen in the wake of his heartfelt efforts are entirely beyond his control. To top it all off, because he didn't get to learn much before being rejected, he doesn't have the strongest understanding of many things, just one of them being the weight of his actions, and how dangerous they can be. Hence why being around him can be somewhat fatal & chaotic. While it can be something harmless & maybe even amusing, that is more few & far between.
While he does have the intellectual level closer to that of someone of a much younger age (For the most part), he is not an idiot, nor is he handicapped in any way. His biggest problem is that he's highly inexperienced at existing. He can be naive, but a quick learner (... For the most part). But his most admirable trait is how resiliently upbeat he can be, despite everything that happened to him.

As said, Kofuku is sweet-natured. He enjoys talking to people (Kind of a rarity in the dimension these characters are in), and cares about them. He's extremely hard to dislike, and genuinely wants to be a helpful friend to someone, even if that means just cheering them up... But the tragedy behind that is it's not supposed to be within his nature. It's an internal struggle he can't even understand at first; He's a good guy that ultimately, was supposed to be used for lethal purposes. That trait fully exists in him, and it's his curse. He wishes for you to be at your best but doesn't quite understand the many ways he can very, very easily kill you.
## **Trivia:**

* Kofuku's appearance, behavior and desire to paint everything blue is an inspiration from the "Happy Happyism" cult/religion in the classic "Super Nintendo" game, "Earthbound".
	+ JC likes Earthbound a lot; he even made a club/association based of the game's cult.
* His power, coming from Happiness, mainly consists of blue paint.
* His signature color is blue, by the fact he was based on the blue chaos emerald.
* Yes, He does in fact have a bulge; we don't know exactly why JC decided to add this "design choice" since the other Guardians don't have this "detail". But we can assume that JC sexualize his characters a lot.
* All the guardians are a little bit taller than Sonic.
