Potential Characters for Mrs. Kelsey and Tumblr 10/4/2021:
Puff the Gloomy and Laid-Back Avian Meteorist:
Appearance: (see above).
What he might be in: Gamma World.
Background:
Meteorists are among the… odder types of adventurers that go out to hunt monsters simply to cook them. Mainly due to their ability to fill themselves up with some form of hydrogen that allows them to inflate and fly and breathe fire.
Many would expect them to be cheerful and high-spirited. Then there’s Puff. This Avian creature is kind of like a bird version of Eeyore. Even when he claims he’s happy, he sounds pretty gloomy. He’s also rather laid-back. One of the things that makes him happy is drifting through the sky, with the sun on him, and the occasional cool cloud drifting against him.
He works for a traveling bar/restaurant (a large mobile home of sorts pulled by a large truck) called by a number of folks as the “Rusty Oil Can” (though the owner, referred to simply as “Management”, who speaks through loudspeakers hooked up around the place apparently prefers “Milliways II”… or “The Flavortown Express”).
He and his group often hunt various non-sapient creatures, plants, etc., to get ingredients for the restaurant.
How he is like me:
We both have something akin to his “special diet, secret disciplines, and long-term exercise” (which allows him to use his abilities of stretching his abdomen and gastro-intestinal tract with carbolic gasses, allowing him to bounce, leap great distances, hover, float, and breathe fire). Also, we have some energy, and exercise is one way to get it out. Finally, we both like simple things at times. For example, he likes drifting through the sky, with the warm sun on his body and a cool cloud occasionally brushing against him. I like walking Smokey with my Dad. We’re both different from what might be expected of us. Sometimes, we need to balance things (he needs to deflate sometimes, and I need to talk about things other than my fan fictions and go to bed, at times).
