Moosey

MooseChangerPat (or Moosey) is a VERY minor internet celebrity known mostly for his narration works reading the first three books of the Belgariad. He's spent the last twenty years battling chronic health problems, and many of his dreams of being an actor have had to be put on hold. He deals with the grief of being robbed of a normal life with humor, always ready with a joke, quip, or pop culture reference. His primary goal in life is to make people happy, usually through laughter, song, and poetry. He considers himself a modern day bard, but is enamored with many of the stories of fantasy stories with bards with magical properties.

Moosey has been playing Dungeons and Dragons with his family since he was a child of four years old. Stories of dragons, knights, magic, and all things fantasy are close to the heart for him. When he came down with Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (or CFIDS for short), he would often play video games, read, or even write fantasy genre novels as a form of escapism. His condition makes it so that despite his physical strength, he has no stamina, and tires extremely quickly. He can't stand or walk for very long periods of time, and quickly needs to sit or even lay down to catch his breath.

Moosey is in his early 30s, and often likes to joke about the fact that he's a wizard because he's a 30 year old virgin. Despite the jokes he makes, he is celibate by choice, being an old fashioned Catholic who believes that people should wait until they're married before having sexual relations. He might be seduced into some rather intense kissing, or heavy petting, but he would still adamantly draw the line before his wedding night.

As an American citizen and the son of an army veteran, he believes in equality for all people regardless of race, creed, religion, gender, sexuality, or appearance. It is what you do that determines your worth in his eyes, and he values compassion, love, and kindness above all other things. While he has strong religious convictions, he's a firm believer of justice and that everyone should get what they have earned through their actions. Whether that means an imaginary number of years of torture, or praise, riches, and happiness beyond your wildest dreams depends on the person.

Moosey often wears a feather hat, a maroon cloak, a t-shirt, pajama pants, and uses a walking stick shaped like a staff. He almost never wears socks if he can avoid it, and often likes to go around barefoot. When he's out and about, he wears a pair of sneakers that are nearly a quarter of a century old, and the insides of these sneakers have conformed to the shape of his feet. The cloak and feather hat are almost just as old, but are holding up better because they aren't walked on.

Moosey is an incredibly perceptive man, so much so that his family often wonders if he's psychic. He's made many accurate predictions about the future by recognizing certain facts subconsciously, shaping them together, and coming to correct predictions. He has a surprisingly sharp and analytical mind behind his silly antics, and is able to get a read on people usually within minutes of knowing them. His perceptiveness is downright omniscient, and as such he makes many friends and enemies.

Moosey has gotten to the point where he has stopped caring about what opinions someone may hold against him when he can tell they do not have their facts straight. Many people will jump to conclusions incorrectly because they cannot comprehend the full picture like he can. So while he will go out of the way to try to educate people he feels are truly worthy, he has very little mercy for those who are willfully ignorant. There's a great difference between comprehending being difficult for them because their mind refuses to cooperate, and actively choosing to ignore truth, and being vindictive and cruel simply out of hate. He recognizes people's worth with ease, and will judge them just as he is willing to be judged by them, because somw things are just worth fighting and even dying for.

Moosey can have a somewhat... obsessive personality. When he gets interested in something, he'll often read about it, collect fan art, write short stories or songs about it, even sometimes get into long philosophical discussions about its merits and flaws. He can be rather opinionated about what is Canon for things he obsesses over, and that has been known to rub people the wrong way.

Moosey would consider himself about straight, where there's about one in ten guys he might accept as a woman, but he definitely still prefers ladies. He has a rather intense oral fixation, so he likes to chew on things, and loves good food. He has a preference for flirts, nice legs, and eyes that he can lose himself in.

Moosey has extensive knowledge of many characters he obsesses over. He's made a few lists of his favorite characters, but his top favorites tend to be Erza Scarlet, Mavis Vermillion, Lum, Tomo, Tiki, Lyn, Tinkerbell, Yorouichi, Lola Rabbit, Cala, Yami, and Freyja. If he somehow met any of these characters, he'd probably just take it in stride but on the inside he'd be gushing.
