Personality
Fortune is a very eccentric person who is often seen messing with fellow VTubers and having fun! He is usually kind, supportive, and understanding as shown when he frequently watches his fellow VTubers' streams and often goes out of his way to offer insight to his friends and artists. He was said to have helped troubleshoot some of the technical problems his associates were having and teach them different creative improvements before and during their journeys as VTubers which led to Fortune being very good at knowing the ins and outs of many programs. Fortune is also highly supportive towards VTubers and frequently comments in any ongoing streams whenever he has the time to do so.

However, Fortune can also be quite mischievous and light hearted by pulling pranks on his fellow VTubers or making statements and jokes that are playfully lewd, such as naming himself "Fortuzzy" in Zytins community after the internet meme "bussy" which is often used mischievously online.

He also harbors another side of his personality which comically emerges and is often dubbed "Gremlin Mode" by his viewers. He can be greedy, prideful, and unsportsmanlike in competitive online games such as, Apex Legends, and Valorant. For these reasons, fans often refer to him as a "True Gamer." In the sense that gamers are often considered to be toxic online. Though it is important to note that this doesn't detract from his positive traits but rather makes his streams quite unpredictable and very chaotically interesting to watch.

Fortune has a special voice that he uses when he is in "Gremlin Mode", which sounds like a cross between a high-pitched wheeze, reptilian screech, and the final breath of a dying Shakespeare. He is not above trolling and calling out his chat if the opportunity arises, such as when he trolled his viewers in one of his Valorant streams by inverting his screen and innocently claiming that he fixed the settings for them. Despite these circumstances, he tries his best to moderate his gremlin-like behavior, to varying degrees of success.

Possibly his best-known joke is a mix between "your mom, and deez nuts" which he has admittedly said he picked up from hanging out with a certain "virtual back flipping cat girl". He frequently makes similar lewd remarks seemingly out of nowhere. It might seem that Fortune has no filter, but that isn't entirely accurate. He does have a filter, but most of the outrageous things that are caught in his filter end up being said out loud regardless.

Overall, his balanced chemistry of honesty and trolling makes him very lovable as noted by his fans and friends.

Appearance
Fortune has short and messy dark-brown hair with grey highlighted bangs due to the infection causing some abnormality in hair pigmentation. His eyes are grey with gold diamond shaped pupils. He has three scars on his left cheek as well as one on his lower lip and right eye brow. He is also seen to be missing a small part of his left ear.

He uses a dark brown flag with his symbol on its back as a cloak and scarf, and golden hairpin representing a magnifying glass decorated with some gears. Fortune wears a white fitted shirt complemented with a brown and grey vest. He wears gold pinstriped off-grey pants where he carries a knife on his left leg that is able to administer cures or poisons for various reasons. On his vest he carries a special pocket watch that appears to be able to fluctuate reality. His dark brown boots also contain the same golden armor used in various other places on Fortune's body. Fortune also has viable infection spreading on his left arm but seems to have it contained.
