BeavKat Character No. 003
Gus
The Wandering Axeman
Gus isn't on anyone's side, and he's perfectly fine with that. He shows up, swings his axes if the situation calls for it, and moves on. He's got a big smile and an even bigger axe, two, actually. Ask him for directions and he'll hand you a quest instead. That's just how Gus works.
Originally drawn by Luke and Leo, vectorized with oversized horns, striped pants, and twin cleavers that make him feel instantly readable.
Gus adds a different energy to the lineup. He is not built like a villain or a straight-up hero. He feels like a character you might run into between bigger events.
The design reads fast: green body, horned helmet, heavy tools, friendly face. That combination makes him memorable without needing a lot of explanation.
He is useful for worldbuilding because he implies a bigger map. If Bob belongs to the ring and Doom belongs to conflict, Gus belongs to the road.
