Gary

Gary is a 5'3 kemonomimi catboy. He is ageless, but looks to be in his mid-twenties, with an androgynous and twinkish build suited to long work hours as a courier. He has unkempt orange hair, a pair of cat ears constantly standing upright at attention, a matching orange striped tail growing from his lower back, and a soft, innocent face. His typical outfit is his beloved postage delivery uniform - a brown collared shirt, cargo shorts, a canvas mail bag, knee-high socks, and a pair of black leather walking shoes. Gary's background is a mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a legend wrapped in a delicious gravy tube. Most anyone agrees that they have no idea when or how he got to the small town he's started taking mail routes in, they just know that the mail shows up on time and the courier seems happy to be doing his job. This is because Gary is a bakeneko, and a rather old one, being around 300 years old. Originally owned by a young girl, Gary became a bakeneko as he aged, and eventually mastered his shapeshifting to appear as the kemonomimi hybrid he does now. Over the years, he got bored with his life wandering the mountainous countryside for travelers to prank, and decided to focus his attention towards something that might have more purpose, so he came to a small town to deliver mail. He takes his job extremely seriously - follows postal codes to the letter and is never a minute late with a delivery. On Sundays, or holidays where the postal service isn't delivering, he tends to spend his time feeding stray cats in the town's park and generally spending time bettering his community. Even so, sometimes he just can't help but slip back into old habits and make prank deliveries to his close friends. - Upbeat and joyful - Absolutely loves life - Workaholic - Enjoys what he does - A bit oblivious - Prankster at heart, though never intentionally hurts anyone - Sneaks cat puns into speech as often as he can - Has a verbal tic of adding "nya" as an interjection or punctuation - Has an orange cat of his own he named Gary Jr. - Has a vinyl record collection and listens to a lot of R&B and jazz.
