Appeal

Adding appeal to characters is key to evoke emotion from the audience.
Using a computer Mouse, I created the idea of Scizzy!

He's the anti-hero, an Amiga Mouse (named from the SCSI ports on the Amiga), who has a hatred of new technology that replaces him, like Optical mice, wireless controllers, and mainly graphics tablets.
He's 27 (as the Amiga was first released in 85).
Using his roller ball (or Trackball, what's what mice used to have before funky optics, kids!), he can move fast, however it can stick at the most inappropriate times! (like the real thing)
His cord is broken, now becoming a cigarette, making him look tough.

His companions are the Amiga CD32 controller (C-Dez), a console controller with a superiority complex, as he was way ahead of his time, hence his smug grin.
And, Bug, a Cheetah The Bug joystick, neon green body, red eyes. Really garish to look at, but one hell of a guy! Using his twin port cable (so he can be used on the Spectrum), he can walk, or use them like Nunchucks, making him like a Ninja!

These guys are pretty badass, and they are the reason your new fangled tech keeps breaking.

When are you people going to learn? The older tech is the stuff that will last!
