Tig is the name used by every member of a bloodline of Sandslashes owned by Wary. They all share common features: the skill of cooking, a love for girls and saving them, and the splitting of Light and Dark halves. These halves gained great power over generations and are now named Bobino and Yafor, respectively. Also, it's typical for a new Tig to enter a story in a malfunctioned time machine. A usual Tig's fighting skills include swords, Sandslash attacks, Light or Dark attacks, and cooking tools as weapons. Also, recently he's been known to have an Australian accent.

Tig I
His entire lifestory is now up to question considering timeline issues. However, a new story called We Don't Die is attempting to solve this.
Tigs II-IV
Tig II was referenced as a crucial part of his father's life. He then went on to appear in a failed minor RP. He lacked a known girlfriend whereas his father had two in his appearances, leaving the true nature of Tig III up to debate.
Tig III found the shores of Xeplosion Forest at around the same time Tig II appeared in an RP. He saved the Eevee July from her corrupted brother August and may have set up his restaurant in her house. July as she was becoming an Umbreon turned out to be something called the Fire Gate, while Tig III found himself as the Earth Gate. These two did not apparently mate, but they had two children: Tigarun (Tig IV) and Inu. Dark Tig, now known as Yafor, rarely appeared in this generation.
Tigarun and Inu were as close as a brother and sister could be and tended to spend lots of time together in random little adventures. They went to school in the rebuilt village of Scarlet Cove (which was another little failed RP) and learned a great deal about the Tigs' counterparts in another dimension. The Wary's Dimension Tig was later renamed Matt and given a very different personality, but the connections have not lost canonity.
In Top Story
In Top Story 9, a total of four main variations of Tig appeared (not counting different halves). Tig IX was the main one that joined the group in Part 2 in his conventional time machine. It was in the making of this part that Light Tig's name was established as Bobino. He got a full share of attitude and battle moves as the group tried to stop Team Rocket from getting Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf. He personally freed Azelf from Giovanni's clutches.
When Nocktor escaped through the powers of Palkia and Dialga for the first time, they ran into Tig VI. It was 992 years in the future, but of course time doesn't apply to Tigs since time machines are part of their being or something. Also among the varied host of characters in that time was the very, very old Bobino XX. There is also a sort of unconfirmed relationship between Tig VI and a Mawile named Mawlee. Yafor XX turns out to be the leader of the group's first arena opponents, and with his split beams it's thought that there may have been up to six Tig-half variations on that battlefield.
The main group separated from the people of year 3000, and Tig IX was just another main character for most of the remaining Top Story 9. However, it's notable that in Chapter 9, the alternate-culture version of Tig, New York Tig, appeared with the alternate-culture group. He explained to the original group the 1% chance that time will break in any time warp, sending people outside of time. Often being a victim of time mess-ups himself, Tig knows this very well.
Non-Canon
Tig XI appeared in Nintendo Anecdote 3, trying to get with Yttik. Also, in the Character Switch RP that mostly failed, Topmonhit controlled one that was referred to as Tig XYZWHATEVERROMANNUMERALITWASNOW.
