Skips

**Skips**, formerly known as **Walks**, is an immortal yeti who is now one of the heavy gunners of The Park Resistance. He helps Benson a lot, and fixes many of the mistakes that Mordecai and Rigby make. He is very wise, and has a knowing of many things to those of the unknown, due to his past of immortality.

## Appearance

Skips is a yeti (standing at 6'2") with yellowish eyes, wearing only
jeans with a brown belt. He closely resembles a gorilla. He has large
muscles and abs, though he has small hands. He has white hair all over
his body except for his hands, feet, chest area and his face. It is also
 revealed that he lost some of his hair, so he made a combover.

Skips's appearance remained unchanged during the time montage and
 the Park's 25 year reunion with the only difference being that he now
wears cut jean shorts.

## Personality and Traits

He has an interesting and mysterious past due to his immortality.
Everybody relies on him to solve supernatural problems, and he almost
always has the answer. There have only been a few occasions where he
didn't know what to do, such as in "Brain Eraser" when, although he knew how to delete Mordecai's memory of Pops' nudity, he didn't know how to exit the video tape. He also couldn't fix error 219 on Mordecai and Rigby's computer. In "Skunked", his best ideas (a shower and coffee) didn't work, and in "Sugar Rush" he said to give Pops
 more sugar to stop his sugar rush when this only made it worse.
However, Rigby knew what to do by giving him the opposite of more sugar:
 Benson's whole wheat donut. Skips also admits that he doesn't know
what's wrong with Rigby in "This Is My Jam ", and even goes so far as to give advice that indirectly *worsens*the situation.

Skips is often quiet and is one of the least vocal characters of
the show, spending the majority of his spare time working out in the
golf cart garage which doubles as his home. Despite his monotone
expressions, he can be seen having a good time joking around, such as in
 "This Is My Jam", where he jokes with Mordecai and Rigby that he knew
everything, though admits afterwards that he only knew about their plan
because he was "on the can" while they were talking about it. Skips has
great self-esteem and pride in his knowledge and strength, once going so
 far as to kill Rigby when he beat Skips at arm wrestling.

He is considerably friendly with the other groundskeepers, and
seems to be good friends with Benson, convincing him to take a break in "Party Pete"
 due to the stress he was going through. Overall, he's always willing to
 assist anybody that needs him and his expertise, despite how annoyed
with the situation he might be. Skips rarely ever walks or runs, but
when he is punched in the face by the bouncer at Carrey O'Key's, he runs
 after his attacker, and throws him into a table, which breaks with the
force of Carl/The Bouncer's weight and he walks while Benson is driving
the cart to pull Rigby's head out of the black hole in "First Day".

## Talents/Habits

* **Strength** - Skips is best known among his friends for his superior strength (e.g. punching open a punching bag in "Over the Top"). It was also evidenced in "Death Punchies" that he accidentally sent Rigby to the hospital by punching him too hard. And in the episode Caveman, he was shown to hold his own against a couple of cavemen before being knocked unconscious.

* **Skipping** - Despite originally being named "Walks", Skips always skips, no exceptions. Hence, he changed his name to Skips. In the episode "Diary" it was revealed that he skips because he had a lover who skipped with

him all the time. When he lost her he vowed to skip for the rest of his life so he could never forget the memories he had with her.

* **Self-Esteem** - Skips is very self-assured, always enjoying being praised by his friends. However, when he loses his standing as the best at something, Skips becomes upset, adopting a single-minded determination until he is able to prove himself.

* **Eternal Youth** - By being granted eternal youth by the Guardians of Eternal Youth, Skips is able to live indefinitely young in exchange for performing a spirit dance directed toward said guardians on his birthday. It is unlikely that he still performs his spirit dance since he arrived for his birthday party which occurred six months prior to the events in the

episode Fists of Justice. Skips, after the events in the episode Free Cake, may no longer be required to perform the spirit dance to maintain his youth and immortality.

* **Knowledge** - Due to Skips having immortality, he has seen many things in his past and has a strong knowledge of the unknown. He usually always has an answer to everything. However, in the episode "Sugar Rush", Skips said that eating more sugar will slow everything

down, but it only ends up sending his friends to a higher sugar plain instead. When they eat the whole wheat doughnut, it saved them, and Rigby proved Skips wrong.

* **Arm Wrestling**- Skips is seen doing very well at arm wrestling in "Over The Top". He only lost to Rigby because he was cheating.

* **Bass Guitar Player**- As seen in "This Is My Jam", Skips knows how to play the electric bass guitar.

* **Video games** - Skips is an extremely adept gamer, playing with Mordecai in Video Game Wizards in a fighting games tournament in the place of Rigby. He performs with

considerable technique and finesse, and upon being replaced by Rigby, leaves without arguing. When asked why, he expresses his gratefulness that Mordecai finally learned his lesson about gaming, and expressed that the game was "too easy anyway".

* **Bowling**- Skips is an excellent bowling player. As seen in the episode "Skips Strikes" he is very good at bowling and he has many awards and trophies, which he burns in sorrow. He also has an album of his bowling memories.

* **Fixing Things** - Skips is very well known for his ability for fixing things (as seen in "Skips vs Technology") and he is the first person to be called whenever somethings that needs fixing or building needed.
