Tropes Associated with Zito:
- Author Appeal:
- His interpretation of Kobolds typically have long, expressive rabbit ears.
- Part of the reason he homebrews so much is that he's a self-admitted "psychopath" for character options in Tabletop Games.
- Many of the characters he's designed for Bout, notably Ante, Calixto, and Rebound, are drawn with large tails, often comically so.
- Author Avatar: He is typically represented as an anthropomorphic opossum wearing a black flat cap and a checkered hoodie named Toothpick.
- Big Applesauce: Originally from New York, but relocated to Texas to join the TFS crew in person. He has since gone back to New York after leaving TFS.
- Brooklyn Rage: He isn't actually that wound up, but in many projects he plays it up for comedic effect.
- Mascot Mook: Tends to be associated with Kobolds that have rabbit-like ears and long tails.
- Signature Headgear: He's always seen sporting a flat cap.
