Fender is not a very active poster, most of the time he just browses topics. He remains on the forums mainly to partake in various competitions and for the Wifi and Online Gaming forum so he has friends to game with.
The Community
Fender joined MFGG back in September of '05 under the name Freedom Fighter. He was first brought to MFGG by Kitsune Yamato when he was making Mario Soccer. Fender used to be an active sprite ripper at Pixeltendo, teaming up with PolarKoala to rip Megaman sprites. After learning about MFGG he was intrigued by the idea of fangaming. He started to learn Gamemaker, then he switched to the Game Factory. For a while Fender had forgotten about MFGG, busy with modding Halo PC, but then came back a year later and started to use Game Maker 6 Registered to make fangames, which he still uses today. Fender tries to be friends with everyone and try to avoid confrontation but Dex and Shanks are definitely his favorite.
The Character
Fender's original character was a Tails editted to have only one tail and recolored green. He was created for a community fangame at Pixeltendo in which he was a scientist who had transformation tablets allowing him to turn into a chao, a robot, or a dragon. After a while the character was changed into a giant sand tortiose with a sword, which it stayed for a good amount of time. Then early in 2008 Fender decided to created a character that actually looked and like him. His current character is usually drawn wearing skinny pants and a t-shirt or zippy.
