Everest, also known as Blue Helvetical or just Blue (born June 8), is a furry artist, storyboard artist, voice actor, YouTuber, programmer, video game developer, photographer, and videographer who lives in Klang Valley, Malaysia.[1]

Biography[edit]

Language-wise, Everest is a versatile ambivert (a personality that has a balance of extrovert and introvert features) person who speaks fluent Malay and English, with Russian being his third learned language, can fluently sign language in Malaysian MSL (which he learned to communicate with a deaf friend), and express some in American ASL,[2] and does voice acting for several channels on YouTube.

Everest works as a barista and community service officer (Law enforcement assistant). He is a Wikipedia contributor.

Trivial data[edit]

Finally, he is described by friends as the Taste of ASEAN due to his vast Austronesian ancestry, rooted from Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines cultures,[6] loves to cook fried rice with omelets,[7] but is allergic to shrimp.[8] His favorite song is Lonesome Dreams by Lord Huron.[9]

Fandom involvement[edit]

Everest initially showed interest in animal characters after finding out about the Warriors (Warrior Cats) book series in 2013, following up by expressing interest in anthropomorphic characters in 2014, and becoming fully involved with the furry fandom via Furry Amino and Instagram since 2017.

Fursonas[edit]

Everest has created several fursonas of his own, his oldest being a male grey and white tabby cat named Ross, whose designs were based on an actual house cat of the same name he once had. Ross had two Malaysian Blue Flycatcher feathers on one of his ears and he sported a mixed swirl-stripe pattern on his body and a unique eye-like dot pattern on his head. He also had a blue-colored eye instead of a green color, which is explained as such because the tabby kitten was very playful during its first 3 months of age (where kitten eyes are still baby blue) and it suits his grey-white fur.

Ross was often confused with a Warrior Cats character named Jayfeather, and Everest often used Ross as his artist icon picture. On 21 October 2023, based on fans' recommendation, Everest decided to give Ross a warrior name which is Sleetstream.[10] He also made a Minecraft skin of Sleetstream which he frequently used in his live streams.

Everest's current fursonas are Glenview Everest Lushenko (initially known as Polaris and Quartz, later as Everest), a Siberian Husky/Eurasian wolf hybrid, and Blue Helvetical, a Protogen (designed with the help of an online friend), which plays a main role in his social activity, with both of his fursonas having undergone several changes throughout the years.

Everest[edit]

Everest the hybrid wolf is described as a determined, trustworthy, and sharp person despite being cold and a loner, much to fit his personality traits. The fursona has an occupation as a state trooper of a fictional state/universe created by himself. Everest is usually utilized personally, while Blue is prominently used for anything social media platforms related.

In an alternate design, he appears with dark grey fur (based on an old design of the fursona), described as a "shadow reflection"; this alternate version is commonly used as his Roblox avatar and vent content.[clarify][11]

Convention/meetup attendance[edit]

Art[edit]

Everest is a hobbyist artist and animator, specializing in both traditional and digital art. He started drawing furries in mid-2018, frequently drawing them in tactical gear and/or civvie clothing.

Social media[edit]

Everest joined YouTube on September 10, 2017, and has about 1.02k subscribers under the channel name BlueHelvetical, where he spends leisure time making content channel content where he plays video games (mainly Roblox), posts art-related videos, shares ongoing things in his life, and much more.

During mid-2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic worsened, Everest created a X (formerly Twitter) account to start his social and art career, other than just being active on YouTube and Discord. Lots of art style changes occurred during that time alone, along with starting to offer art commissions.[12] As of October 10, 2023, this account has about 4.2k followers.
