–Paint

Paint is a cut character from a beta version of Drawn to Life, and it is unknown what his role would have been in the game. He formally appears in the short story Blank Slates as one of the Four Guardians, along with Flash, Hose, and Ore.

Appearance

Paint has yellow fur and a thin, grey mustache. He wears a red beret, a green sweater with a white undershirt, and red shorts. He also carries a paintbrush and a palette.

Story

Paint, along with the rest of the Four Guardians, was commissioned by Joe to make decisions in The Void alongside the screeners Willham and Mayo. He was also tasked with lowering beings into the Void after they were cut or deemed unused. After the development cycle of each game, he would be deleted until the next game started development.

During the development cycle for Drawn to Life: Two Realms, Joe called the Guardians to the Discussion Grounds to pick a character to revive for the upcoming game. Paint was the first Guardian to ask about Mildew, eventually leading the group to decide to send him up to the game, angering Shadow Mari. She attacks the group and threatens to bring life to the void if they didn't bring Mildew back down. Because the decision was irreversible, Shadow Mari ends up attacking the void, killing Willham and covering Ore in Shadow in the process.

After Shadow Mari's attack subsides, Paint, along with Flash and Hose, take Ore to the color vat in Lavasteam and revert him to his Raposa form. They return to the Discussion Grounds and find Joe, Franco, and Mildew. After looking around at the landscape, the devs ask about the Shadow Hole and ask how it came to be. After learning about Shadow Mari, Joe asks why she was in the void without the dev's knowing. Flash comments that only one other person they know could create life - Mayo.

Shortly after, Drakon and Dinofrog attack the Discussion Grounds. Drakon kidnaps Joe, Franco, and Mildew, leaving the Guardians to fight Dinofrog. During their fight, the Discussion Grounds are destroyed, and the Guardians are in a stalemate with Dinofrog. As Paint fights the beast, Hose gets Alana to go summon the Droogle Killer, and Flash gets Willham to delete Dinofrog. After this, Willham, Rocko, and Crawler continue on their journey to the Shadow Hole, and Mayo asks the Guardians if they want a ride. Paint tries to ignore her, suspicious of her involvement with Shadow Mari, but reluctantly agrees to a ride to the Shadow Hole.

When they arrive, Shadow Mari summons an army of Shadow and Ink creatures from the hole, forcing Paint to fight the horde of enemies, alongside the other three Guardians, Rocko, Crawler, Fiora, Nolan. After Drakon and the Droogle Killer jump into the Hole, Shadow Mari calls off her army, and Mayo urges Shadow Mari to kill Willham, which she does. This causes Paint, along with the rest of the void, to chastise Mayo's alliances and morality. Eventually, Mayo breaks down and begins to yell at the Guardians for seemingly hating her. After her outburst, she collapses to the ground and begins to cry. As Mayo cries on the ground, Paint, along with Ore guard Mayo and keep other beings away from her. Eventually, Flash and Hose join them, and Flash tells Mayo to get up since Willham and Shadow Mari had left using the Shadow Hole.

Just then, Joe makes two announcements into the void. He grants Hose's request to keep the void full of life, and then says that he has to delete Mayo from the void due to her actions. Mayo begins to disappear, begging for help. After Mayo is deleted, Paint joins the rest of the beings of the void as they wish Alana, now known as Aly, luck in the next game. He is also part of the group that laughs when Fiora names Sandal, her new pet.
