> "*Hi my name is Barold T. National Geographic Blonde Harold and I have short tea blonde hair (that’s how I got my name) with cream streaks and red tips that reaches my mid-neck and evil yellow eyes like the national geographic logo and a lot of people tell me I look like Harold Coff (AN: if u don’t know who he is get da hell out of here!). I’m not related to the janitor but I wish I was because he’s a major fucking hottie. I’m a vampire but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white skin. I’m also a clone, and I work at a magic company called National Geographic in some sort of inbetween realms place where I’m in the first year (I was just born). I’m a goth (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly black. I love National Geographic and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a black corset with matching lace around it and a black leather miniskirt, pink fishnets and black combat boots. I was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow. I was walking outside National Geographic. It was snowing and raining ash so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of AJHQ employees stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.*"

Barold T. Geographic is a clone created by National Geographic using the *willingly provided* DNA of Harold Coff. He currently resides in NGHQ. Being a member of the Geographic family, he spends most of his time fucking around in the NGHQ building and playing Animal Jam against his father’s wishes. It’s the little things.

Barold has appeared on the previous blogs before, as well as in stories and art.

## Appearance

Barold resembles Harold in most aspects, though he appears a lot less disheveled and aged. His hair is a golden shade of blonde and has many black streaks, all self-dyed. He has golden eyes and heavy, intentionally smeared makeup that trails down the sides of his face.

He wears a self-designed black hooded jacket, which is sleeveless and trench coat length. The back of his jacket attaches to gloves on his hands, stretching out to give the appearance of long fabric wings. He has a yellow t-shirt with the words NORMAL PEOPLE SCARE ME, BUT NOT AS MUCH AS I SCARE THEM printed in black and white. He either wears brown khaki shorts (for adventure!) or gray sweatpants (for...not adventure) and white socks with golden sandals.

...oh, and sometimes his eyes glow. Kinda like when you shine a flashlight on a cat in the night.

## Known Personality

Barold is, in many ways, your generic edgy teenager. This is far from what he would want you to believe, though! Hiding under his love of dead things and gore is a still-uncharted artist and explorer, whose confidence usually gets the better of him when he does gain enough to go out on his own expeditions. Being naturally reckless and informal, it takes a lot to scare this guy!...uh, probably. We’ll get back to you on that.

His infatuation with the darkness takes him to many interesting places, and is a good reason for his general apathy to the more horrifying things in AJHQ, which he breaks into frequently. Despite his love of death, it’s actually life that intrigues him the most. Not that he’s going soft or anything! He’s a tough guy, remember? He’s cold and jaded. Violence doesn’t impact him. Even so, he finds himself gravitated towards the creatures in Locus and their inner mechanisms…

## Lore

When Harold was working for National Geographic, Nat theorized that his skills could be enhanced by utilizing National Geographic's cloning technology. His intention was to create a better, stronger, and quicker-thinking version of Harold in clone form. Generally, Barold was supposed to be an ultimate killing machine. While his outer personality would give off the vibe of a cunning and ruthless villain, none of his missions proved fruitful, which was almost definitely a side-effect of Nat's impatience that convinced him to free Barold from the clone chamber at only the developmental level of a 14-year-old boy.

Once freed from the clutches of Being Harold™, Barold took control of his style and appearance, swapping out the overly-formal work attire for the overly-casual socks and sandals and stupid jacket that he wears now. He also developed his own identity and fixations, forming an obsession with the macabre and fascination with monsters. He began reading a lot of bad fantasy novels and vampire stories, much to his father's dismay.

It was clear almost immediately that Barold was never going to fulfill Nat’s wish of becoming the perfect killing machine, but calling him a failed experiment was too much for Nat to bear. Instead of tossing him out, he took him in as his son, and now Barold has free reign of the labs of National Geographic. His time in the labs has given him an interesting perspective on life and science in general. Don’t tell anybody he likes biology, though. That’d be fucking cringe. He’s not cringe. He has a reputation to uphold, you know! He isn’t some kinda *nerd*.

Most of his days now are spent on running through the Ashlands and doing dumb shit, which he says is a way to challenge himself and his physical strength. Just his luck that he was born with immense resilience and speed, y’know! Being designed to be a killing machine has its benefits!

## Relationships

### National Geographic

Barold is currently going through a rebellious phase against his father, and while he'll say he has no interest in his dad's dumb science experiments and stupid company, he does genuinely want to get closer with Nat. He appreciates Nat for both giving him life and allowing him to do as he pleases with it, and is grateful that he has a father that cares but is also laidback.

### Finch

FINCH ISN'T EVEN HIS REAL DAD. They're just a lesser parent! Not as great as Nat Geo, anyway!...Haha, Barold sometimes wonders if Finch might let him watch them work in their lab, one day...or show them cool rocks...but he hates them, totally. He's a #rebel.

### Alistair

Through all of Barold's life as a clone, he never found anyone that understood his rebel plights...until this weird lizard scalie showed up at NGHQ's doorstep! Alistair is Barold's closest friend and his favorite adventuring buddy. Even if Barold is a bit hesitant to go out too far into the Ashlands, preferring to stick close to one of the many company buildings, he still enjoys sneaking out with Alistair and finding cool wildlife to steal. Or eat. Or provoke. It depends, usually...

### Fred

There's no brother more annoying and insufferable than this guy! It's always "do the dishes, Barold" and "watch your step, Barold" and "I saw you sneak out, Barold"! What's his damage? Psh...but he is kinda badass.

### Gordon

Easily Barold's favorite nerd. He's a little cringe and weird, but he's good at heart...pluuus, he can teach Barold math! Something that he totally doesn't care about at all! (He does.)

## Trivia

* Barold was created because of a dream one of the creators had where Harold had an evil twin brother.
