Character Information

Character Name: Roddy Fanning
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Species/Breed: Hamster/Shrew
Current Occupation: Garbage Man
Personality: Roddy is a quick-witted creature with delusions of grandeur. He believes that he is perfect material to be a spy, and spends almost all of his free time thinking up cover identities, perfecting his spying and sleuthing powers, creating little spy gadgets, reading spy novels...
Well, you get the idea.
Unfortunately for his dreams, he harbors a slightly-below rational fear of pain and stressful situations in general. He'd like to think he'd know exactly what to do if an adventurous situation presented itself, and if he could just get around the fact that he might get hurt, he actually might prove to be more than capable. Unfortunately, he is plagued by constantly fluctuating luck; everything either goes unbeleivably good for him or falls apart in a ridiculous fashion.
He is also unnaturally paranoid of other people, especially when they act all "shifty" and "suspicious". He has been known to shadow supposed enemy agents for days before finding out they were suspicious of something boring like embezzling or just cheating on their spouse. What he really wants is to fight crime for a living, having wonderful adventures and correcting all the wrongs in the world.
Appearance: Everything about this person screams "average." Average height, average build, average clothes, average everything. His fur is a simple off-white with the odd dark patch on his back, stomach, and covering one of his large round ears. He tends to wear his headfur simply, often cut to regular fur length, but occasionally he will let it grow out into something that he believes to be fashionable or in vogue at the moment.
As for clothing, most of his day is spent in the bland outfit of the professional garbage man. Those times when he is out in the world, his clothes tend to be average (or "nondescript" as the wanna be spy would call it), often faded and worn with age; shirts with band names from long disbanded musical groups, pants bought for their durability more than any sense of style, ballcaps from those same bands... He has, however, spent some of his savings on one fancy suit, a dark blue tuxedo of quality material, but of an indeterminable manufacturer.
Background: Roddy had always dreamed about being a spy. His days in school were spent doodling stuff about "Decoder Ring Roddy" and his rogue gallery of evil villains. He gathered a collection of spy novels larger than some people could even imagine. Shortly after his graduation, the first thing he decided to do was try and become an Angel.
He realized shortly afterwards just how dangerous being an Angel would be, and he gave up that ambition with his tail between his legs (proverbially, in his case). Defeated, he resigned himself to a fate of... gasp!... a normal job and a normal life!
But he refused to give in to a humdrum existance without a fight. He spent his free time emulating his favorite heroes, even going so far as trying to tinker with creating new "spy gadgets". He also began moonlighting as a sort o private investigator, trying to solve crimes and discover injstices where ever he saw them (or thought he saw them, as the case was nine times out of ten).
Anyone familiar with the news might have heard of Roddy's one and only success at being a spy. A few months ago, his prying into personal affairs caused a dangerous bank-robber to panic and go through with his plans far too early. The poor timing resulted in a failed attempt and the robber's immediate capture. The entire affair was one giant fluke, but Roddy till takes pride in his accomplishment.
