Tinion's Fi

1. Appearance

Tinion is composed of mostly spheres and cylinders. He has two shining black eyeballs, a long nose with a thin crease in the middle, and a winning smile! He has a gap between his nose and mouth that shows all that's behind him, for some reason, excluding any of his insides. He wears a purple propellor hat with a yellow shaft and black blades that don't seem to be divided. Tinion actually has a short blonde ponytail, only seen on the back of his head. His left arm seems to have no blue sleeve, his left hand is a Dorito chip which holds a cyan and blue sign reading "BANANA!" in neon red. In his right hand, he holds a gray balloon with a radioactive neon green string. Tinion's shirt is neon green, with a diagonally cropped "GAMER" logo printed on it. His pelvis is red, and on its back is a ginormous shit stain. His shoes are both brown but display a decal on the front, the left being a black platform heel show, and the right being someone wearing two regular red heels.

2. Creation & Development

The conceptualization of Tinion came from MinionAlex4 and UnwarierOrca. "Steamdust" was derived from Ziggy Stardust, and Tinion from Alex's username. Orca combined the two to create a fictional artist's name, similar to other concepts he had made at the time. Bite would take "Tinion Steamdust" and attribute him to the lore of the friend group's Minecraft server, titling the area he lived in "Linion Island", inspired by Tinion's name.

In October of 2022, Bite released a compilation on YouTube titled "BEST OF TINION STEAMDUST: Top Hits, Songs, Poems". This was his first album release. The album included previously made songs like "TWMIIWCIS" & "Linion Eatery", and the rest was created a day before the video came out. The idea for the album, Tinion's first appearance in media form, came during a shower Bite took following a sleepless night. Having his phone in the shower and Orca in a voicechat led to the sudden conceptualization of the songs "'Sucking on a Tit" and "Rape You", as Bite was tiredly making an elaborate joke out of Tinion's name and describing his career. The concept of the 90s Hip-Hop "Sucking on a Tit" transitioning to the epic EDM Skrillex inspired "I'm gonna rape you" was hilarious enough for Bite to turn it into a real thing.
