Introducing some new guys
14 years ago
Sometimes one man's boredom drives him to make up things he never considered before... and I had plenty of those times. Now I'm sure some of you know Shepard and his gym-ly routine... now he does have a female friend in it (Lindsy), but I just came up with a few male friends for him. They are;
Name: Robert
Species: Anthro panther
Nickname: Rob, Robbie
Height: 6' 0"
Physique: Muscular, but not precisely a body-builder build
Background: Being one of the two people that Shepard meet upon his first visit to his localgym, Robert made sure that he felt safe at home (despite the whole cat-dog rivalry sterotype). Often a model for how big Shepard wants to get, Robert exercises at a rate not too high or low, just enough to keep him in the shape he's in. Always willing to meet newcomers, this panther always pays his respects to others (so long as they don't purposely disrespect him) and makes sure no one causes any trouble at the gym. It is also rumored that a relative of his used to own said gym, but he doesn't really talk about it.
Name: Chuck
Species: Anthro hyena
Nickname: Joker, Chuckles
Height: 6' 4"
Physique: Somewhere around the "before" and "after" side of "body-builder weight." In muscle, of course.
Background: Chuck was the second person Shepard first met during his first visit to the gym... however, Robert's welcome was pretty much better than Chuckles. Mainly, it's because of his habit of talking a lot... which occasionally goes into a joke... which may go a bit overboard. Overall though, Chuck is a nice person... queer, but nice. Despite his dumb antics, he actually has a part-time desk job: writing riddles for a newspaper company (though some of the riddles associated to the answers are either non-sensical or makes the answer obvious). Whatever the case, he surely enjoys working out more than he does working, being either the life of the party or, well, just his goofball self.
Name: Archibad (Archie, for short)
Species: Anthro wolf
Nickname: Transylvanian hunk, Were-wolf (the joke is that "were," in Anglo-Saxon, means "bodybuilder" ... which, when he first heard this nickname, Shepard mistaken for "werewolf" and had an odd nightmare, after being bitten earlier in the day by this muscle-bound werewolf, had him turned into a- well, you get the idea)
Height: 6' 11"
Physique: DEFINITELY in the upper-class of bodybuilders, his arms jokingly compared to mountains and pecs bigger than dinner plates (he complains about the restrictions his muscles give sometimes)
Background: Born in Germany, Archie's journey through adolescence was... well, unique. His body is proof enough of it. After being invited to a job for advertising their wares (ie. clothes that actually fits the likes of him), he moved to America for the position. Coincidentally, he moved into the same town Shepard lives in, though he didn't start visiting the gym until October 30th when the gym was loading up on heavy-duty equipment (Shepard had a sick day, so he met Archie the next day at gym). Though not the person who is nicest at times, Archie does try his best to fit in with the other, smaller people working out at the gym. Out of all the people, he likes Chuck the least (for obvious reasons) and is frankly acquainted, if not befriended, towards Shepard (if you bit someone's hand while you were trying to get a heavy weight off of them, you'd feel sorry for that guy too).
