So it just occurred to me, that some YouTube channels that I'm subscribed to, have their own form of "mascot", based on a video game character that either they are fond of, or they have a firm history with over their years of gaming. Mascots are used to give you a bit of good luck in the world of YouTube, so I thought I would make a thread talking about this.
At the current time, my mascot (for the last 2-3 years of my channel's existence), has been Kula Diamond from King Of Fighters, and still is. She's always been my go-to character in all the games, plus I love her character design. She also represents my "feminine" side to gaming, as opposed to every other well-known male video game characters that us men are typically inspired by.
So does anyone here have a mascot for their channel, and if so.. who is it?

My "Mascots" are based off a drawing I did in school one time. I thought it was cool so I came up with an entire video game concept based around the two characters as the leads (I have an entire trilogy of games roughly planned out.)
The characters being "Ooh" the grumpy ghost with a helmet containing "Boh" the kindhearted snake.
I could elaborate more, but potential future spoilers for the game and etc.
I contemplated calling them "CB" and "Gog" but that was stupid because they already had names that work well, plus I wouldn't want them exclusively associated with my channel.

Funny thing, my original name was Content Hedgehog, I had a logo thrown together and everything.  But in the end I decided too many people would automatically associate a hedgehog with Sonic the Hedgehog, and I wanted my channel to be more open-ended, so I just left out the mascot and went with Content Free Time. |

Actually prefer the name Content Hedgehog to your current name. |

You don't use sonic or anything directly, but I could see why you'd want to keep it away from a particular type of brand. |

XD Maybe I made a mistake ditching the old name. Oh well, too late now.

Biggest factor is networking which many of you seem to only just begun to do.
