You should've seen the unused material by Takashi Nakamura, can you believe he'd go on to direct "Catnapped!" 8 years later?

A gelatinous bear that's a highly intelligent and skilled programmer, he uses his skills to stream events as their Internet Persona called "Ne0K40su."
Despite his expertise, Val's naturally shy and introverted, preferring to focus on his work, or hacking mutiple tech in Vespera to his internet persona to communicate with others.
In the rare case he is in the neighborhood, it's always with a hoodie or face mask on.
He tends to be with Lea and others from their private workout class turned friend group, and thus became slightly more open to talking with them.
Finally, Val's body is able to regenerate, and it's rumored that Val's body melts due to rising temperatures or social fatigue.

A lively and energetic online streamer known for their modded gaming challenges, hosts ridiculous quizzes, or even just regular gaming with friends that becomes increasingly chaotic.
Their upbeat and witty personality, combined with their trickster demeanor has ended up captivating a semi-large audience.
Contrasting Val's usual reserved self, NeoKaosu serves as an outlet where he feels more confident and socially comfortable.
The "Mouse Tail" is able to adjust attributes withing the avatar itself, or hack technology to be adjusted as well.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:t2mmmjkvhallg7yggyae4my4/bafkreifedt2utbtgemba74htrobxge5e7wbm2kjakudxuohtzx36lujoe4)
![Four drawings of a stone golem named "Ro"
Ro but they're not wearing anything. Them but with steampunk clothing, armor, and mechanical arms supporting them up. Ditto but using a blow torch in one hand, while a mech arm holds pliers. And a back view of Ro, show the pack the mech-arms are connected to.

Three gems attune with the earth softly, piecing together stones to create a vessel that see what the world has to offer.
Despite their stone-faced appearance, Ro is a curious, emotional, and enthusiastic rock lad.
They're highly gifted in intelligence, constantly studying several tech and magics to create machines for themselves and their friends.
In fact, one of the first things Ro did when gaining sentience was studying steam-powered tech, so they could make mech-arms to assist in strength, movement, or tinkering.
Despite their genius mind and sociable personality, they can be too focused on work, too excited at their friends showing off their abilities, or even craft things that are... not practical to say the least.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:t2mmmjkvhallg7yggyae4my4/bafkreibqf7skwotle5ugmjqd363imlfncfbmoaswtnmwcez2lme3z6k624)
![7 drawings of Butch, the Red-Pink and black dolphin plush.
A front-angle view with an anchor tail, back-angle view with a spiked ball tail, a bottom-angle with no tail attachment, a low-angle with Butch ballooned to the point of self-destructing, and 3 three doodles of his swelled belly atop of an enthusiastic furry.
The 3 texts for those last doodles say:
"Three... TOWO... ONE..."
"*Poof*"

A magical nature spirit possessing a dolphin plush, with a weaponized tail that can switch between an anchor, spiked ball, etc. This augmentation is thanks to a certain tinkerer.
His innate magic allows him to build up heat in his body to either enhance his strength, or choose to self-destruct at will. Blast radius and time of recovery depends on his size. He's also able to bounce around despite his size, however this stops once he has the anchor tail attached.
Butch is a no-nonsense type, who has a short-fuse (pun intended) at being looked down on, and immaturity. He often reacts to such pet peeves by physically bullying the offender, only to feel awkward when he eventually realizes they were intentionally goading him and were [i]veeery[/i] much into his "Intimidation Tactics."
Despite it all, Butch is well-meaning, sincere, and noble to those he emotionally connects with. And he would gladly act as a heated pillow for his friends, as long as the situation calls for it. (Which is rare, so just call him "Captain Shortstack" instead)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:t2mmmjkvhallg7yggyae4my4/bafkreifrnm565ruzma4epwiqn7inr22bsy5slrcuvcrvzfagy5hwu6uham)

Moerani's a very kind but very cheeky magical nature spirit, who has possessed a seal plushie.
Her innate magic allows them to enter others dreams and feast upon them. Usually unnoticeable to the dreamer till they wake up to a 10ft overstuffed plush.
Moerani is also unable to communicate beyond high pitch arfs, that mentally project symbols for the receiver to decipher and interpret.
He's especially infamous for being flirtatious to those that are "hot and bothered." Despite this quirk, Moerani's still respectable to boundaries and won't push further unless they're given consent.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:t2mmmjkvhallg7yggyae4my4/bafkreiad4tkv5vdzm2wecwuxgxsm6ebafgjo2qryxczrlluvb4qrwxcfme)
![Mauru and Fernandez from Waku Waku 7 as blimps, being squished by a Smasher from Metal Slug.
Mauru is passed out, while his strained air-filled stomach rumbles.
An Irritated Fernandez shapeshifts spikes out of their body, and pins them against Smasher's ballooned belly, to no effect.
Above the Smasher is a bloated Aqua Slug from King of the Monsters 2, firing bubbles at the three inflated figures.
And next to Aqua Slug is Develon from Bubble Bobble, with a overexpanded waist.
Nito's Neato Notes:
It gave me an excuse to do this.
Not sure how useful having a library of "Characters that use inflation" is in real life, but it's certaintly useful here.
...Yea I know Bobbles only inflate Bubbles but uhh, don't blame me, blame [Insert Artist Here] for constantly drawing them as balloons. >_> (Not me though.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:t2mmmjkvhallg7yggyae4my4/bafkreihzgtwuomxqex3t5io7vigjvbzgv5j4wrfbcysavefpj5l5ecto2e)
