McCoy

**McCoy** was a powerful and influential teacher within the Teacher Clan. He was notable for his relative Insanity and impressive ability to interact with

the Tree Clan. McCoy served on multiple occasions as an ambassador between the Teacher Clan and the Tree Clan, though he still fought against the Tree Clan in several wars and may have been instrumental in the Teacher Clan's attempted genocide against the peoples of the Continent.

### Early Life

Little is known about McCoy's early interaction with the Tree Clan. McCoy first appeared in the first Tree Clan Era, not long after the formation of the old Tree Clan. McCoy initially observed the various nations of the Continent from a distance.

### Discovering the Tetanus Mobile

During the events of the Cold War, the Tree Clan discovered the mysterious entity known as the Tetanus Mobile. After several citizens mastered the ability to pilot the Tetanus Mobile it became the Tree Clan's single greatest military asset. McCoy was the first teacher to discover the Tree Clan's Tetanus Mobile. Initially, he was curious about its purpose and encouraged remained relatively indifferent to its use (likely not realizing the sheer power carried by the Tetanus Mobile).

During a voyage across the ocean, the Tetanus Mobile was spotted by a teacher scout named Terrell. This teacher attempted to steal the Tetanus Mobile for use in the name of the Teacher Clan. The crew of the Tetanus Mobile informed Terrell that McCoy had previously had no issue with their use of the weapon. Terrell then returned to the Yellow Springs National School High School of Excellence and informed McCoy of the true nature of the Tetanus Mobile.

McCoy proceeded to locate the Tree Clan, still in the midst of their maritime expedition. He lied, claiming that he had previously demanded the surrender of the Tetanus Mobile. Fearing the greater power of the Teacher Clan, the Tree Clan strategically negotiated the complete surrender of their only Tetanus Mobile. The Teacher Clan likely reverse-engineered this technology, allowing them to create the Teacher Clan Tetanus Mobile Factory prior to World War Tree III.

### World War Tree III

During the Great Babbie Boom, McCoy served as an ambassador to the Tree Clan, displaying a high amount of Insanity for a teacher. After the Teacher Clan completed their Tetanus Mobile Factory and began their attempt to carry out a genocide against the peoples of the Courtyard, the Ovenant declared war, beginning World War Tree III. McCoy continued to serve as ambassador to the Tree Clan, even after Billy sacrificed himself to bomb the Tetanus Mobile Factory.

In the early days of the Tree Clan bioweapons program, McCoy was among the first to be infected with the newly created Meatball Foot. The Tree Clan took advantage of this by convincing McCoy that they could cure him of his disease. However they would only do this if McCoy spread the plague among the teachers by infecting Hatert with Meatball Foot. McCoy agreed, and attempted to infect Hatert. At the time this was believed to have been successful, however Hatert's survival suggests he may not have been infected.

Soon after this, the Meatball Foot Pandemic began. The aliens abducted the entire population of the world to save them from the plague. McCoy died of Meatball Foot during this time.
