====== Gearbox Public Bio ====== **IC Name and Pronouns:** Gearbox (he/him) **OC Name and Pronouns:** Matt S. (he/him) **Character Email Address:** [[gearbox@whiteraccoon.oxfordrpg.com]] **Public Bio:** Gearbox is a curious young skunk who enjoys nothing more than collecting little human trinkets, such as gears, screws, pins, chains, bolts and springs. He lives in an old, torn up recliner chair in the suburbs, and is often found exploring the surrounding houses searching for little treasures. He often tries (unsuccessfully) to reassemble old human devices from their individual parts. He is close friends with Idris, who acts as his trinket fixer whenever he needs a particular component for his latest project. Despite his love of exploration, he is hopelessly short-sighted, and can often be found scampering around the suburbs, hopelessly lost. Nevertheless, he is a determined and loyal young creature. **Species:** Striped Skunk **Appearance:** Gearbox is a young skunk, with jet black fur - a little messy on top, perhaps - and his stripes are solid white and are very distinctive. His beady eyes often dart around as he speaks, and his tiny black paws are always fidgeting, even when he is resting on all four feet. Often, to emphasise what he is saying, he stamps his front legs on the ground. His whiskers are short, but he is often fidgets with them as well, especially when he is nervous.
