Mini-Grand Organization: The Return

Username: Surprise Bitch its britney

Name: So I knew this dude, back when I was in teacher's college, whose entire wardrobe seemed to consist of camo and earth tones which was always, no matter the weather or the rest of his outfit, capped off with a fuckass bucket hat that probably saw laundry detergent last century. Genuinely decent dude though, knew quite a bit about wild foraging and local edible plants and was keen to share that knowledge with folks.

Anyway, him and a couple of other guys were really into slacklining, y'know, that tightrope walking kind of thing you see people doing at parks and stuff, and this dude would even bring his fuckin. specialised rope or tape or whatever it was, set it up between two trees on campus on their lunch break or outside the student bar on Friday afternoons, and slackline with a gaggle of other classmates. I think I tried it a couple times, but definitely not for me.

He wasn't actually all that amazing at the actual slacklining, I remember if anyone was doing actual stunts or cool tricks on the line it was that Canadian girl, uuuuuuuh Jen? Janine? I'm pretty sure she had a J name, but, whatever. In some other stray conversations with the guy, I found he's got a PhD in mathematics and also knows just about everything these is to know about rope, and tying knots, and the physics and the engineering and the topology of it and what have you. I remember Jana (course it was fuckin Jana) asking one time whether that extended to rope play for like kink or whatever, and  while he was just as knowledgeable about tying people up as he was large loads on trailers or whatever the fuck else, he never gave a straight answer whether he actually partook. So no fucking clue on that front.

Anyway, that guy's got no business being in a Grand Battle, but now there's a dude running around somewhere in the universe with that whole spiel as its backstory. Feel free to take them.

Species: Dude (more info below)

Gender: No

Color: No thoughts Just Vibes (bottom left on colorpicker)

Description: About fifty kilograms of off-white, dense material with a texture somewhat like suede or Puffball mushroom, adopting a humanoid form. No neck, nice ass, stubby yet dextrous fingers, and a little smile in the middle of what you could charitably call its head.

Some good reference images here.

This dude when minding its own business stands about four feet tall, but can squash and stretch itself a little to reach things on high shelves, or to squeeze through a tight gap. Like all dudes, it possesses a mild and generally amicable disposition, but can be spurred into comic mischief if someone convinces it that doing so would be a good idea.

It vocalises with "mmmmm" noises, which seem to automatically translate into something intelligible to anybody it wants to communicate to directly.

Weapons/Abilities: Button-up camouflage shirt with the buttons left open. No pants, no shoes, a backpack full of rope, and a galvanised metal bucket worn as a hat.

Like other dudes, it is not impervious but unaffected long-term by conventional weaponry - it can be sliced easily enough, but seals itself back together almost as fast as you can cut through it; it simply squashes and recovers when crushed, and no internal organs or structure exist to be affected by stabbing. Extreme heat, cold, pressure or chemical corrosion probably will just make it stop and wait for the problem to pass. It does not hunger, and seems to sleep only because that's what it's expected to do at regular intervals.

Biography: Dudes spawn into existence whenever one person tells a second person about an interesting third person, creating a doomed-to-forever-be-incomplete echo of that third person in the second person's mind. For every story in this fashion, a dude pops into existence whose only knowledge is that there was a person in that story, and it's their life's duty to try to emulate them.

Assuming this dude has had a hot minute between popping into existence and being kidnapped for a Battle, it's been dedicated to learning how to tie rope real good. It's also presumably acquired knowledge on edible plants, but that's not going to prove too useful as it's going to be whipped between various realities.
