Background

Appearance

Traffic's outfit is composed of casual streetwear, featuring a motif of roads and roadworks in his clothing and accessories. Traffic dons a purple, zipped up puffer jacket with its large furlined hood worn down. The coat features green, amber and red patches which are sewn onto the sleeves in a traffic light pattern. Traffic also wears a large pair of grey shorts, which are rolled up past the knee, and sandles with beige socks. Traffic's hat resembles that of an orange traffic cone, with two smaller spikes to accomodate his horns. His horns extend straight outwards from his forehead, and their covers on his cone feature a string of the same beads featured on Ghosdeeri's horns. He generally features an easygoing and relaxed expression, with a slight smile and a raised eyebrow. Traffic is slightly buck toothed, with a gap between his two upper front teeth.

Traffic wears a large, yellow backpack, which is supported by a single strap fitting diagonally across his torso. The strap features the yellow and black striped design of warning tape, and is connected by a large buckle on the front. The backpack features multiple items attached to its exterior - two license plates[2] hang off the sides of the bag, while a tire is attached to its back over the exterior pouch. The backpack also features several items of the bag's contents poking out of the top; a large sheet of fabric hung from a pole; a crooked, diamond shaped sign with "YeAH [sic]" written on its face; and a lantern of Lightblox's fireflies, suspended on an L shaped pole by a line of string.

Personality

Traffic is shown to be a rather laid-back and friendly individual, greeting the player with a sense of familiarity and offering to play cards with Lord Pwnatious. He also has a sense of humor, as shown when he compares Ghosdeeri to an actual pumpkin.

Lore

Traffic likes to travel. He's traveled to every region a few times through hitchhiking and stays for around a week.[3]
