Trivia

 * Rusty's personality has inspiration from Sonic the Hedgehog, DeweyDev, and Ratchet the Lombax, with it culminating in a cohesive and likeable character who will grow with the audience overtime.
 * Metallix is named after a Metal Sonic from the Fleetway Sonic the Comic series.
 * the reason Rusty is a jerboa is to bring attention to jerboas, as did Sega with hedgehogs, Warner Bros with tasmanian devils, and Naughty Dog with bandicoots. other reasons being jerboas being one of DeweyDev's favorite animals, and to pay homage to Fang the Sniper, an obscure Sonic character.
