Gary

Gary enjoys helping out other penguins with his inventions whenever a problem arises. In order to stay up late to work on his inventions, he drinks a lot of coffee with caffeine; however he states that decaf coffee scares him. He is also scared of outdated technology such as rotary phones, and has what he describes as an irrational fear of analog clocks.Gary considers himself to have a sense of humor. Gary is very smart and fast-thinking, able to solve complex math questions, such as 347 x 58253, in seconds.Gary does not like crowds, and is more interested in inventing than attending parties although he attends some parties on occasion. He also prefers to work in secrecy, as he finds that too much activity around him makes it hard to concentrate. Gary has a habit of giving overly wordy and technical explanations or using scientific terms to describe simple things, such as describing a storm as "a low pressure system bringing a super-cell of cumulonimbus clouds" and when he does this, he often repeats his explanation but in simpler words.Gary enjoys collecting things, such as pins, stamps, comic books, and insects. He is also fascinated by medieval legends, dragons and dinosaurs. Gary is afraid of ghosts, even though he is aware they cannot harm him.

Appearance: Gary is a blue penguin that wears an indestructible white lab coat (his favorite type of clothing) with slightly rolled-up sleeves, and a teal dress shirt with a brown tie. He also wears a pair of large, circular, opaque glasses with zig-zag-shaped temples. These glasses are fashioned from high-density material and he carries nine spares with him. When not wearing glasses, Gary's small, squinting eyes are visible. Unlike other penguins, his eyes do not appear to have sclera, only pupils. Gary cannot see very well without his glasses; his visual acuity in his left eye is -11.5 and his right eye is -13.5.
