Description Put up a sketch of this guy last week, amongst other sketches. Then I just went off on a little doodle jam that turned into this picture ._. JUST ONE PIC ABOUT THIS GUY, I SWEAR? Okay.

Already explained this shiz to on that deviation but I think I'll explain here too~

Long story short I saw this guy when I was looking through Bob Rafei's concept designs for Nitros Oxide which are found here: [link]

I loved the design and look of this one 'possible' Oxide so much that I am sorta making him into his own seperate character, just for fun. NO idea what to call him, I've nicknamed him 'Nitro' for now but blargh. If I were to do Crash stories I'd like to give him a little part to play of his own. Just a little one, though :3 I tweaked the design and added my own ideas for a colour scheme.

I view him as being a guy who's just obsessed with all sorts of vehicles, tinkering with them, modifying and building his own, etc. He's sorta selfish, childish, inconsiderate- but not really 'evil'? He's just really absorbed in his own world. Lacks self-awareness. But he's also very excitable, cheerful, chatty, curious, eccentric - the list goes on. He causes trouble for the others because of his irresponsible behaviour but he isn't all bad. At least, that's how I've characterised him o3o

Sort of an oc but also sorta not XD what the heck else do I call him? 'Borrowed character'?

Original 'Nitros Oxide' concept design credited to Bob Rafei, 1998 (?), huge props to him for creating such a cool design and being a great chara/environment designer in general

Crash Bandicoot belongs to Activision.

I just thought: how does he even survives? No seriously!  He got serious damage because of accidents with his inventions, can be beaten by docs's mutants (Tiny, Dingodile, Ripper Roo and others) and etc. He might... Die some day because of those things... *sobs* Must not cry.

Nitro is VERY robust... and lucky :3 he wouldn't have lasted this long if he wasn't.

Well, you've elaborated on his characterisation quite a lot.
Definitely one of the best Crash OCs I've seen.
