Personality & History
Personality
YTIY is a determined individual. It sees its goals, and only its goals. It has poured the entirety of its being into the destruction of Checksum, and at this point, there may be little else left.
History
Summary
YTIY was born as Ambush, along with his sister Heal, in a world that was slowly being corrupted. They fought corrupted monsters. One of these monsters killed Ambush, but he was brought back to life by a god, Checksum, who assigned him a mission. He left Heal and the rest of his society to accomplish this mission, which he was told would fix his world. It destroyed it instead. Ambush swore vengeance against Checksum for tricking it, and since then, it has left a trail of destruction across the tirtenverse on its path to revenge.
Detailed History
- YTIY was born in Flipnote V3-EX as Ambush, along with his sister Heal. Their world was slowly corrupting itself, manifesting in creatures called Shadons whose only goal was to turn other creatures into more of them. Heal and Ambush were among a group that fought the Shadons. When a Shadon managed to kill Ambush, he was brought back to life by Checksum, who claimed to be a god, and promised that as long as he followed a specific set of steps, the Shadons would be eliminated and his world fixed. Ambush agreed to take on the mission.
- When he woke, Heal attempted to kill him to prevent him from becoming a Shadon. He fled to save himself, and when he was pursued, failed to convince Heal and the others to follow him. But he came across some travelers--Kineta, Dina, and Ashka--who found his ideas intriguing. They joined him, and eventually, they succeeded.
- Rather than fixing the world, the ceremony erased everything except Ambush himself. Checksum appeared, and when Ambush questioned zem, ze mocked him. The mission was a trick all along, and Ambush had just erased his entire universe from existence.
- Horrified, Ambush swore vengeance. He wandered from universe to universe until he came across Jaes in Catcross V1-RV. Jaes CatCV1-RV was building an AI intended to help run society called YTIY, but it needed a living component to give it true intelligence. Ambush, seeing an opportunity to amass the power it may need to destroy Checksum, agreed to fuse with YTIY. Unfortunately, it didn't go how Ambush--now YTIY--expected.
- YTIY had given up its physical form, and in doing so, could no longer physically impact anything. Its form was now a hologram, not a true body, as its real body was locked away in the infrastructure of the AI. Still, YTIY pressed on, convincing Jaes CatCV!-RV and his allies to fight Checksum. Checksum cheerfully wiped them from existence.
- YTIY, distraught by this failure, continued roaming universes until it came across the Jaes from Tirtenian V2-IN. YTIY convinced Jaes TV2-IN to create a new version of Yanvi rather than an AI, known as the Calwatch. It intended for Jaes to wear the Calwatch, but he was killed shortly after it was completed. So, YTIY settled for his son, Pom. Pom V2-IN failed in his battle against Checksum, and the Calwatch was broken. YTIY moved on.
- It repeated the same pattern in Tirtenian V2-GD. Pom TV2-GD also failed, but in a very different way: her best friend died, and she took control of her entire universe to rewrite her into life. YTIY considered it another failure and moved on yet again.
- Now, it is poised as Pom from Tirtenian V2-FI is about to put the Calwatch on for the first time. Surely, this time will be the one.

Foes
- Abyss: YTIY is wary of Abyss due to his friendship with Rhett, and believes he "stole" Rhett from it.
- Checksum: YTIY wants Checksum dead. It will not rest until it has accomplished this.
- Rhett: YTIY and Rhett used to be friends before YTIY began manipulating others into helping it fight Checksum, as they both disapproved of zeir actions. Now, Rhett is YTIY's loudest opposition, second only to Checksum zemself.
Misc
- I associate it with Pain by Three Days Grace due to an AMV I made for it set to the song when I was quite young.
- YTIY was originally conceptualized as just Ambush. The name change came much later.
- Its design was a product of flipnote color limitations. At the time, I wanted to draw two cats (Heal and Ambush) but I struggled with coloring them in fully, so I just colored in the eyes of one, which happened to be Ambush, to differentiate them. The black eyes ended up becoming an essential part of its design.
