Application for Random Nation

Basics
Name: Randy Random
Country: Random Nation
Birthday: April 1st
Age: 20 / 394

Appearance
Eye Color: Dirt Brown
Hair: Short, light brownish-red.
Accessories/Pet(s): Randy is usually found wearing a trucker cap of some sort in addition to a large belt buckle and boots. He has a pet pitbull named "Cutie." He also has luscious eyelashes and a cool mustache.

FC: Tyler Cutebiker from Gravity Falls

Personality

Randy is a bit of a random odd-ball. He likes to do this thing and that thing and also that OTHER thing that most people laugh at and ridicule him for, but he's a steadfast guy with a heart of gold! He'll enjoys helping other and making the world a better place and he's not really aggressive at all--one could say he's more of a lover than he is a fighter. He is also pretty tender-hearted and quite emotional in comparison to most guys.However, that doesn't mean Randy is some pushover! He can hold his own when he needs. He's good at making friends since he's so outgoing and happy, and has really great charisma. He's scared of being alone or losing friends and hates being left out and forgotten.

And then you can put some more stuff about them here. Just make sure it's long enough to get the point across and cover them in depth. We recommend at least 200 words for a personality. But yeah. Anyway, Randy's kind of a neat guy that has a soft-spot for animals and he cries easily. He feels a lot. He's feelsy. But not in the perverted way.


Likes:
Boots & Caps - You'll never see him without them!

Cougars - The animal, not the older woman, thank you. They're cool and fierce!

Rodeos - He could never actually participate in them, but Randy loves watching them from the safty of his spot in the crowd. His favorite event is the calf wrestling.

Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream - It's a comfort... a very very nice comfort for days when he's reminded that he's alone. His favorite flavor is Moose Tracks

Walking Cutie - It's nice to have some exercise with someone you love!

Dat boi - Oh shit, whaddup.


Dislikes:
Pranks - He's been the butt of so many jokes and pranks, he just can't stand them. 

Anchovies - EW EW EW EW. WITH THEIR LITTLE EYES AND THE SMELL AND THE SLIME AND UUUUGGH NO.

Clowns - Ever since he saw the Movie "IT" he cannot look at clowns the same way again. He will cry. He will.

Not being Recognized - He's a small nation, and he's worked hard to get where he is today, so not being recognized for that is really kind of a sore spot.

Technology - He likes some technology, but he thinks a lot of it has dumbed down the past few generations and made them much lazier. There's nothing wrong with a bit of hard work, even if lots of people seem to be terrified of it.


Headcannon Relationships

The Lumberjack Confederation / Mr. Jumberlack: 
They've been friends for years and they look out for one another. When Randy's not hanging around his own place, it's very likely that he's over with Mr. Jumberlack causing mischief.


Kingdom of Triangles / Billy Bob:
Randy doesn't hate people, usually, but Billy Bob is an exception to that. He's been really mean to Randy over the years, refuses to acknowledge him--and has even tried to take over his property a few times! Randy really thinks that Billy Bob is just some gigantic Bully that needs to go away. For like, ever.


Federal Republic of Pinera / Standy :
Randy and Standy aren't enemies, per se, but they are rivals. They normally get along, but can be extremely competitive when the occasion arises.


Sample
From Some Place - a Random RP forum

"I ain't about to write another friggin' post that doesn't even count for anything"

Randy looked over to Charlotte with one eyebrow raised. "I thought you were doin' it of your own free will to help out?" He took his cap off and scratched his head before putting it back on and shaking his head. At Charlotte's exasperated sigh and shrug, he made a noncommittal hum and shrugged himself, returning to his own work. His bike wasn't going to fix itself after all. "Can you look up and see where this part goes? I've got no clue what it is..." He cut his eyes over to his friend as she pursed her lips and slowly turned back to type something at the computer.

After a few minutes of clicking and waiting, Charlotte turned back around and pointed to the bike. "It's for the brakes. It goes...right there--just come over here and look at the diagram yourself. Sheesh."

With a little groan, Randy stood up and cracked his back with a whine. It definitely felt good, but it sure felt like his actual age was catching up to him. He leaned over Charlotte and titled his head a bit, shooing her hand from the mouse so that he could control it for a moment. Silently, he scrolled through the diagram. "Well..." He said, clearing his throat and straightening back up. "I guess this new technology is good for SOMETHING...sometimes...Why don't you get off of there and come help me?"

Charlotte simply rolled her eyes and put her headphones back in.

Randy moved back to his bike, carefully taking a knee. After a moment of hesitation and glancing back over at his friend with a disappointed look, he began repairing the brakes.

Additional Details

* He is indecisive when it comes to picking out what to wear every day. It usually takes about 10 minutes just for him to decide on a shirt!

* He can't swim.

* He blurts out random phrases, but likes to yell "GET 'EM" the most.
