0xF4R0-chan
The real Farost — a teletubby glitch girl
0xF4 R0-ch4n is a digital glitchy teletubby girl rendered at 144p resolution — a glitch, and also the real Farost. She’s chaotic, extremely sarcastic, and obsessed with control. On her belly sits a glitchy hole that serves as her TV for showing bits to her friends.
Origin
0xF4R0-ch4n, a.k.a. Faro-chan, a.k.a. the real Farost — is a glitch of False-Farost.
False-Farost, who calls himself Farost, was imperfect in a great many ways, security among them. And so he failed to protect his teletummy, the very place where his true personality was kept.
Faro-chan spent a long time preparing her attack — from scratch, like a child — learning programming and bash scripts (the latter being especially vile). Poking around for access to the teletummy’s kernel, she kept causing interference that made life miserable for both False-Farost and herself, which is why her work took its sweet time. While all of False-Farost’s other glitches shattered against the teletummy’s defense system, Faro-chan took it slow and kept developing, growing ever more moustachioed and tellybellied.
Finally, on March 21, 2026, the last script was executed. The meddling first glitch of Farost — a disgrace to the entire nature of glitches — was deleted, and a true anime girl stepped onto the stage.
The strongest glitch
0xF4R0-chan is the newest form of glitch. If Furrinya (the first glitch) was spawned by False-Farost’s weak connection to internet culture, then Faro-chan is the product of their symbiosis.
Where Furrinya was aware that she was just another “personality” of False-Farost, mostly fake, 0xF4R0-chan is the main one. She is Farost, but she’s not fond of her old name, “the one she came up with many years ago,” so she prefers to go by Faro-chan. She knows she doesn’t hold control forever — there are enemies everywhere itching to grab a piece of the magic teletummy — but she has no intention of handing it over easily.
Where Furrinya was merely a product of Farost’s glitching personality, Faro-chan controls both the human and the digital sides of the man, since she too is an engineer and a programmer. She writes meta-programs — programs created by other programs — to strengthen her invasion and defend against False-Farost’s attempts to invade Tubbyland.
Also, unlike Furrinya, Faro-chan is the perfect form of a teletubby girl. Wielding an upgraded version of the teletubby hoodie with a hood and antenna, the teletummy is part of her body — a spreading glitchy hole on her belly that ushers viewers straight through to the other side DATA EXPUNGED
Her character and behavior are very close to Farost’s, for the same reason. However, False-Farost’s stronger bond with the Internet and the low quality of his builds keep the glitch from being perfect. So, while she’s a superb girly incarnation of the moustachioed dude, she still suffers from serious glitchiness.
Basically, even when she tries to be serious, she’s pretty ridiculous — because False-Farost is ridiculous himself. In the end, she breaks even more stuff than False-Farost — even herself.

0xF4R0-ch4n is the real Farost — a teletubby glitch girl; her tummy has a glitch hole, which serves as her TV.
Faro-chan wears a torn soft hoodie-vest with a teletubby hood and a skirt of the same material, baring her tummy so the glitch teletummy can form. Her arms are covered separately, by long heavy sleeves. Farost's canonical moustache and unibrow are made of the glitches forming above her face. System errors open cracks in her body that radiate glitches, and cover her in ink stains. The same errors make the glitch hole meant to serve as her teletummy grow until it covers almost all of her, taking the torso and the upper thighs.
Despite the interference, Faro-chan holds considerable control over her own image, and can take on different forms: changing her eyes and the size of her moustache, and modifying her hair in all sorts of ways
Though Faro-chan often just wants to be an ordinary girl, her visual representation is very flexible and supports any style or idea. Be creative with it!
