## Gary Smiles

### Affiliation

Local organised crime
North Park Elementary

## Background

A convicted criminal who managed to escape prison, he soon stole the identity of a teacher named "Gary Smiles". This fake Mr. Smiles then moved to North Park, a small town in the middle of nowhere in which he could lie low in. He now teaches the 3rd grade class in North Park elementary, despite having no prior teaching experience and his own anger issues and criminal psychosis. However, despite being so obviously a dangerous criminal, North Park authorities are none the wiser to his true identity.

Alongside working as a teacher, Smiles continues his criminal activities out of bad habit and because being a teacher doesn't pay very well. He peddles drugs, smuggles illicit goods, sells bootlegs and fences jewellery to name some. If there's illegal activity happening in town, it's likely Smiles will be involved in some way.

## Appearance

Smiles is a middle aged man with dark brown hair dyed orange-blond. He has thick dark eyebrows, noticeable dark stubble and a scar under his right eye. He usually is seen wearing a light teal shirt, brown sweater vest with a yellow smiling face pin.

## Personality

Smiles is aggressive, unstable, and cruel to those around him. He has very little patience, and tends to have a violent paranoia when he feels things aren't going his way. When he isn't angry or unstable, he still tends to come across as generally mean and cynical, sometimes sarcastic and dismissive.

Smiles can feel happy if things are going his way, or he's made a lot of money from some criminal endeavor. He also genuinely enjoys the company of the class pet, Fluffles the rabbit. Whenever anything bad happens to Fluffles he shifts into a much more aggressive and unstable state.

## Family

His true family is unknown, and no one has bothered trying to contact the original Smiles' family as no one has felt the need to.

## Relationships

#### Principal Kiddy

Smiles considers Kiddy to be a gullible idiot he can easily deceive into employing him as a teacher. Because of that, he never really takes the principal seriously. However, he does do his best to try and not get on his bad side, since he is aware of how intimidatingly strong Kiddy is.

#### Fluffles

Fluffles is the 3rd grade class pet. Smiles for some reason emotionally latched onto the pet, and his own stability hinges on whether Fluffles is okay or not. This means the 3rd grade class has to take extra care of the pet or else face their teacher's wrath.

#### 3rd Grade class

Smiles absolutely hates his students, every single one of them annoys him in some way or another.

#### Miss Chariot

Miss Chariot is one of the few people on staff who quickly worked out that Smiles wasn't who he says he is, but didn't care enough to report him. Smiles can respect that, and acknowledges they both are very cynical people who most of the time hate their jobs, but he also wouldn't consider her to be a friend.
