SomethingTober #20 - Mogie

 

I've talked about Mogie a few times before, but I'll recap his "lore" here anyway.

Mogie is among the small handful of characters of particular significance to me, serving for years as a sort of mascot and signature doodle, and all-around quick-and-fun sketch subject. His simplistic design has a universal appeal and is easy to draw in a variety of situations and "costumes" for fun. As such, he has a storied history throughout my earlier creative oeuvre. He is essentially my Mickey Mouse or Mario, but without the baggage and restrictions that come along with being a profitable company brand. :V

Mogie originally hails from the Krazy Komix Universe, where he started as one of my comic strip characters, teamed up with Arrowhead. Together, they would travel around the world, seeing the sights, and getting wrapped up in various and sundry shenanigans. Eventually, using a Homemade Teleporter, Mogie would expand his travels to other dimensions and go on more thrilling adventures through the AEP Multiverse (mostly running into superheroes from the Power Universe). However, he would eventually travel into worlds beyond, making cameos and playing roles in other storylines independent from my old canons.

Mogie is a Living Toon, but more than that, he is essentially an Incarnation of Good, and possesses a sort of Protagonist Aura that sees him capable of overcoming almost any challenge. Like any good mascot character who is still actually beholden to the stories he appears in, his powers and abilities may vary as circumstances may dictate. He is, however, generally an indomitable force for good, even if he can't actually solve every problem himself. Where he is not able to fix things, he is able to empower others to assist them in their own efforts.

Generally, he possesses the Power of Simulacra, which allows him to replicate the abilities of other characters. This is mostly in reference to when I would doodle him as Mogified versions of other characters (such as a Justice League Mogie or Super Saiyan Mogie).

He is also an Awakened Dreamer and Dream Warrior, actively participating in the Dream Wars, and working directly under the Dreammaster at times.

Officially, during the Multiversal War, Mogie was ascended to Cosmic Guardian status, making his cosmic aspect on par with the mightiest of Creator Gods in the whole of my works. However, this aspect of him does not directly interfere with universes except under the most dire of circumstances, and thus, most of his appearances see him as a "mortal" traveling through the various universes of my works.
