Timeline
Appearance
Slingshot's horns resemble cat ears. He wears a sweatband underneath them. His outfit features a blue and white varsity jacket above a darker blue undershirt, grey pants with a blue streak on the sides and his centre-piece sports shoes with a blue and white motif.
Slingshot carries his large namesake slingshot over his left shoulder when not nocking a shot. The handle of the slingshot is three different grey-toned stems interlocked into an ergonomic handle for his left hand. A blue, topped off with black counterweight sits at the bottom. The frame of the slingshot is housed by a blue stock with the limbs being grey. The string and pads are an off-white colour. The slingshot is accented with neon blue, particularly where the strings are attached to the frame and a long band is present at the front stem with another thin band just above the counterweight.
