Bio of Crafty
10 years ago
Name: Cal Coyote
Alias: "Crafty"
Date of Birth: October 22, 1971
Age: 25
Hometown: Santa Monica, CA.
In a universe where humans and animal-men live side by side, Cal Coyote is a typical laid-back California dude who enjoys skateboarding, heavy metal, and motorcycling. He has completed high school and holds an associate's degree. He loves his leather jacket and is hardly seen without it, in spite of living in a sunny climate. He works 9-5, Monday through Friday as an auto mechanic at Golden State Automotive, a job that plays to his obvious love of mechanics and engineering; the feeling of accomplishment of fixing a particularly difficult repair job keeps him working there. Cal has sent his resume to several automakers, asking for employment as a technician. On the weekends, he uses that same precision and attention to detail as a skateboarder and amateur musician. Both the skill displayed at his job and on the half-pipe have earned him the name "Crafty", though he has long been waiting for the right opportunity to tell his employer about his hobbies; he has seen a bright future for skateboarding and longs for a day when he might be a pro skater. On Saturday mornings, he watches cartoons which are in abundance in the 1990s, the time period in which he lives.
After experiencing the horrors of alcohol addiction firsthand, "Crafty" took on a vow of temperance about three years ago which he observes, thinking that this attribute of cleanliness might make him a role model for children and something that any potential wife would want to see in him. Even still, he is somewhat childlike in his views of the world, and his beliefs are idealistic, although he wants to maintain a ruggedly handsome, "butch" outward appearance. He started growing a goatee in late elementary school, which he has kept ever since and distinguishes from the other coyotes.

I'm writing about a character who actually does live in the 1990s, so it actually does make sense for him to be that age. His house would be filled with things many of us would find obsolete like cathode-ray televisions, VCRs, and cassette tapes. For him to be watching Saturday morning cartoons means he must live in a time in which they existed.

Me too. And as an auto repairman, he still ends up fixing those wonderful faux-wood dashboards from time to time that make me wonder what the 1980s were thinking in automobile design.
