Rust the Alligator

Rust Jonathon Buckets the American Alligator - or simply Rust the Alligator - is one of the 12 major characters in the Blaze the Cat franchise. He is the oldest of the 12 major characters.

History

Rust was born somewhere in Georgia, United States on June 28, 1996. He is the oldest of three children.

In June 2016, Rust was introduced to Blaze the Cat - as well as all the other Blaze Characters, and he quickly became friends with all of them and contributed to the development of the Blaze the Cat franchise.

In 2019, Rust helped the other Blaze Characters protest SEGA putting Blaze in "Team Sonic Racing".

In 2021, Rust was on Blaze's team in the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games. He participated in artistic gymnastics, 200-meter swimming, rugby sevens, fencing, trampolining, boxing, badminton, and soccer (AKA association football).

Rust was one of the three boxers on Blaze's team - the other two being Blaze the Cat and Strawberry the Fox. All three of them managed to make it to the Top 5, but only two would be chosen for the championship. The majority of the audience voted for Rust to be in the championship, and the second largest group chose Blaze. Blaze and Rust both decided to fake a fight and convince the audience it was real. Unfortunately, one of Rust's swings went too far and knocked Blaze out, which made him the champion, but he was not excited about it because he accidentally knocked out Blaze.

Blaze DID forgive Rust.

After the Olympics, Rust and the other Blaze Characters launched the Blaze the Cat franchise, and they were a success. At one point, Rust obtained a commercial driver's license, and became a truck driver.
