Smithers

Dark Dagger Member (formerly)

Maintenance Worker (formerly)

**Smithers** is a recurring character in the World of the Exceed and the best friend of Vladimir Gladkov.

## Appearance

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Apprinokattanatatkorn, also known as Smithers, is a young nineteen-year-old boy with blond hair and yellow eyes. He wears a black t-shirt, golden gang jacket, white headphones with lightning bolts on them, and a silver pendant.

## Personality

Smithers has a very friendly personality and very approaching. He doesn't spend time dwelling on past regrets, and has the personality of looking towards the future. For a gangly teen, he is quite intelligent despite never attending school. Also, due to his overly friendly personality, he leaves himself very vulnerable to things such as gang activity and drugs.

## Relationships

Although Smithers is very outgoing, he surprisingly doesn't have very many friends. This is most likely due to his extreme drug addiction.

Vladimir Gladkov: Smithers met Vladimir when he was young, and would never give up his friend for anything. He would even give up drugs, but of course, Vlad wouldn't really find out about the drugs for a while.

Sorai Skorviski: Smithers never had a working relationship with Sorai. He had always known that she was trouble, and they had many arguments about what was going to be best for Vlad. Unfortunately, Smithers never got the chance to warn Vlad about her true personality before he was blundered.

Yellow Jackets Members: Smithers maintains a good relationship with his current gang members from the Yellow Jackets gang.

Flameriders Members: Ever since Smithers was kicked out of the Flameriders gang, he hasn't communicated with any of them since. Unlike Vlad, he isn't targeted by former gang members and is instead ignored.

## History

### Early Life

Smithers grew up in a broken home with a very abusive mother. He never attended school because she forced him to work, and if he didn't want to she would point a gun to his head.

So he worked as a maintenance worker in a factory, but was severely underpaid and couldn't even afford himself new clothes. When he was seven he eventually ran away from home when he got tired of the abuse. He was a homeless kid that had no money, so he provided for himself by stealing from the local shops and selling them on his own so he could make some extra money.

When he was just ten, he was approached by a gang member and told that the first taste to a certain powder was completely free of charge. Smithers decided to take the powder since it was free and when he consumed it he was addicted. He returned to the gang member every day after that and bought drugs as well as dealt them to underage kids.

When he was just twelve he was invited to join the Flameriders, and became an exceptionally high-ranking member with the audacity of his drug deals. Later he met Vladimir Gladkov, and the two eventually became friends. At first Vlad ignored him whenever he tried to start up a conversation, but soon enough he warmed up to him and this ended in a bonding friendship.

When Smithers was around fifteen, he wanted more money than he could get from dealing for the Flameriders so he decided to scour dark alleyways to see if he could find other gangs to join secretly. While wandering around in an old abandoned alleyway, he heard voices coming from an abandoned building. He peeked inside and saw that there was a group of people gathering there, a cult. He asked to join the cult, which was called the Dark Dagger. But after a few years he decided to leave since he didn't approve of the cult murdering people for being Anthropomorphics.

Later he and Vlad both kicked from the Flameriders at around eighteen for consuming more drugs than selling. Smithers lived homeless for a few weeks before coming across another gang, the Yellow Jackets. A member of the gang had come up to him and asked him if he wanted some drugs. Smithers immediately said no since he knew he couldn't afford it, but the gang member told him that if he joined the gang he could get all the drugs he wanted for free. Smithers joined and in a matter of just one week he had the money from drug deals to afford himself a high-tech phone and a brand-new set of headphones. He decided to keep this a secret from Vlad, since he knew his closest friend wouldn't approve of him getting back into drugs nor him getting into a gang and dealing again.
