Aidan Cheddar

Living in the Brie Town district of Monotok, Aidan Cheddar is a white mouse with one black ear and eye markings. He is a cyborg with cybernetic arms and one golden eye. While he is a rebellious mouse that suffers from trust issues, he is a parchment for cheese and bottle cap collecting. Aidan is a skilled scavenger hunter and hacker, able to penetrate directly into CityLink terminals from his Exo Bus port, despite his small size. He seeks justice for his kind after being forced into the cybernetics against his will.

Background

Aidan Cheddar was introduced as Tony Bark's second fursona back in the early 2010s, and was intended to serve as Zack Casey's companion in the original Sunset trilogy. However, he fell out of use after a breakup with his boyfriend, who inspired the inclusion of the character's kilt, and he went unused throughout the rest of the decade as Bark tried to cope.

Bark returned to Aidan Cheddar after being inspired by Guardians of the Galaxy 3. He retooled the mouse and gave Aidan Rocket Raccoon's tragic backstory, while adopting the same cybernetic enhancements from another unfinished character he was working on. However, this left him out of place within Bark's original lore. It wasn't until the creation of Monotok, a city themed on political thrillers, corporate corruption, cybernetics and hacking, that he moved Aidan there and made him Tom Wilcox's companion.
