Character History:
**[ words ] are headcanon**

Tony was born in the United States of America. His mother, Mama Tony, is not a huge part of his life anymore, but he will still take the time to call her every once in a while. [His father left before he was born, but it's assumed his name was Papa Tony.]

[When Tony was in his teens, as being anthropomorphic he ages the same way humans do, he left home to get a job to help support his single mother.]

[After a few jobs,] Tony eventually landed with Kellogg's as the mascot for their cereal. [Unfortunately for him, he was so excited to get the job that he didn't read over the contract as well as he should've.]

[The contract stated that he would be in this job for life, and if and when he has a son, that son would take over the empire when Tony got too old.]

[Tony didn't find out about that contract detail til] his son, Tony Jr, [was about nine years old.] His daughter, Antoinette, was also featured in a commercial or two, [but the agency felt she didn't have the right personality for TV and] she hasn't appeared on a commercial since. [Many people consider it sexist, but Antoinette is happier without having to follow her father's legacy.]

[Tony Jr, fortunately for Tony, was actually very happy to be brought into the commercial business, and plays with human child athletes often.] He's appeared with his father in a few commercials, and recently started doing his own.

Tony has yet to officially retire, though Tony Jr. has taken over most commercials now that he's about the same age Tony was when he started. [He still eats Frosted Flakes every day, rather than get tired of them as many mascots do, he's become...somewhat addicted to them.]

Character Personality:
Tony is an extremely energetic, athletic, anthropomorphic tiger. He loves helping others - especially kids and preteens, usually using his cereal to help the underdog kid make his or her way to the top!

He spends all of his free time playing sports or doing physical activities, mostly in team settings. Sometimes he'll go off and swim by himself, but he prefers to be around people in a fun, safe setting. The only parties he'll go to are championship celebration parties, and it's been like that since he was a kid.

Before getting signed on with Kellog's, Tony frequently volunteered at children's centers and to coach sports teams for communities that had trouble finding someone to take the job. He's always been very caring and giving, and never asks for people to give him anything but their best effort.

Powers and Abilities:
He's just really, really athletic. His tail also sometimes has a mind of its own. It gets scared a lot more easily than Tony does. He can also talk! And has a weird way of convincing adults to admit that they enjoy frosted cereals.

Samples
Network:
Alright, everyone, I have some grrrreat news!

[Tony pulls out a bowl of cereal from behind his back, and a box of Frosted Flakes to go with it.]

I've figured out bending! So now you can all have some of my Frosted Flakes!

It's full of vitamins and really brings out the tiger in you! Everyone will love them, I know that for a fact, especially all you kids out there!

They're really the best cereal around. Frosted Flakes are meant to be described with one, simple word:

Grrrreat!

Third Person:
Tony sat in the kitchen of the Welcome House, slowly stirring milk into his third bowl of Frosted Flakes. He knew that not everyone had eaten Frosted Flakes before - that's why he had to advertise them, after all! - but in Nautilus it seemed like almost no one had eaten such a delicious and nutritious cereal!

He was understandably disturbed. Back home, everyone loved Frosted Flakes. Even adults occasionally came on to commercials to confess their secret love for the sugary flakes.

Now he was stuck with adults who wanted something...healthier? And people who'd never even heard of Kellogs. It was strange. He wasn't completely comfortable with this multiverse idea, but he'd always assumed that Frosted Flakes were a part of every balanced breakfast, whether the person was on Earth, in Outer Space, or in a whole different dimension.

After swallowing a gigantic spoonful of Frosted Flakes, Tony stood up, suddenly feeling empowered.

"This is no time to sulk!"

Grabbing his bowl and box of cereal, he strapped a sweatband around his head and started jogging through the neighborhood, eating his cereal while doing so. Every time he ran by somebody else in Nautilus, he waved to them and offered them some Frosted Flakes.

A surprisingly large number turned him down, but he refused to be discouraged! Tony continued running around, completing almost fifty laps around the Welcome House in under twenty minutes. He felt totally supercharged after that big bowl of cereal and needed to sweat off the energy!

After another forty minutes or so of running around, Tony headed back to the kitchen and plopped his empty bowl of cereal down on the table. No one he'd passed by had taken up his offer for some cereal - it was unfortunate, but he knew he'd get them to try Frosted Flakes eventually! Especially all those adults. Adults always had a secret love for his cereal.

As he headed upstairs to take a shower, Tony briefly wondered if, maybe, they said no to cereal because it was seven at night. With a shrug, he ignored the thought.
