Here's Pete again, with another character I'm surprised I haven't shown off yet—Professor Neon Greene! Well, he's a Junior Professor, working under his father Forrest Greene, but a professor nonetheless. Aside from famed scholar Thomas Devlin Bear (now the megalomaniacal T.D. Bear), he's the leading influence for Ghostie becoming such a science-oriented kid. Whether it's astrology, chemistry, or dimensional exploration, Neon knows... well, a decent amount in the subject. Most of his recent research sits squarely in geology. In case you're curious, the half-green-half-yellow color of his fur is hereditary, and it's basically heterochromia. Like Ghostie, Neon was based off a Game Maker version 6 sprite of an entirely yellow teddy bear, made half-green by me because at the time it was one of the coolest things I could think of to enhance a character. Pete's based off a GMv6 sprite, too! Though his had no embellishments, just a blue ghost with red eyes and black markings that were either teeth, stitching, or a moustache—which I dropped quick as he became his own thing. (Man, I wish I could find those sprites so I could provide comparison, but Game Maker version 6 seems to have nothing substantial recorded online...)
