Gust Ref Sheet

Probably the most well-known among my characters. He was originally paired with Dlaigo, but the file turned out to be too big, so I had to split them up. The irony. XD You can find Dlaigo here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4952488/
Trivia: Dlaigo and Gust were designed separately and stayed that way for a good long while before I thought of putting them together as a duo. And things were good ever since.

Gust is invulnerable, so what would be the point of even fighting him?
Gust is invulnerable, yet he can run away from situations. Which begs the question, Why'd he wanna do that, when he can't be harmed?
Gust is invulnerable, yet possess little physical strength, and he's a pacifist who would never intentionally harm anyone and still, he dresses up in boxing equipment? Huh? Generally speaking, when one boxes another, then that individual is intentionally trying to inflict harm on the other for a victory in said boxing match.
1. Gust wasn't really meant to fight on his own, he's more of a Mac Guffin to be protected, hence why he's paired up with Dlaigo, who acts as his guardian.
2. Related to point 1, just because he's invulnerable doesn't mean he knows how to fend for himself without any help. Unlike other immortals, he's not exactly trained in any martial arts, and because of that, he can easily be pinned down or captured, presumably to be later used by villains in some scheme that takes advantage of his invulnerability. To put it in another way, try replacing Gust with an anime princess stereotype - you'll probably hardly notice any difference in terms of role.
3. Gust's clothes are actually a physical indication of his parent's backstories, particularly his father's. To make a long story short, Gust was very fond of his father to the point of growing attached to his father's clothes, and while his parents encouraged his freedom to do so, they also taught him intensely that violence was never the answer - a lesson they learned the hard way - in order to avert a certain horrible fate in store for Gust, if he was ever forced to take a darker path along his life. Yeah, it's a weird form of circumstances, but there have been weirder reasons for weirder clothes in other kinds of fiction.
Thanks for asking about Gust and caring about him enough to point out these things. :)
