Scribble scribble scribble XI.

Thought I fergot, din'cha?

This is Bo.

Bo's a frat boy without the benefit of a fraternity; a breed of sunburnt bumpkin rarely seen in cities of Templar's size and relative sophistication. He moved to the city from Oklahoma and founded a metal band with hometown friends, Lockjaw... which he promptly left for the more successful Abide to increase his cash flow. "Bad blood" doesn't even begin to describe the ensuing shitstorm, but that's Bo for you.

Formally the alpha male of his own group, Bo's a lot like his mutt, Looney Boy; stubborn, untrainable, loudmouthed, and difficult to control, but ultimately too stupid to do any real harm. Still, he has the dubious distinction of being the only person Gene has ever physically attacked. Ever. Exactly who won, who lost, and whether it really counted as a fight or not is still up for debate.... but everyone pretty much agrees the bastard had it coming. They woulda voted his ass out ages ago if he weren't such a damn good drummer. But life isn't always easy, is it?

Bo has an uneasy truce with Gene, and knows Ben, Scip, Sonny, Reagan, Zora, and Lorne. He doesn't know the Elliots. And Bloom has too much self-respect to even sell the ditchweed Bo smokes.

All in all, a very minor character. But I like him. I dunno why.

Damn, I try to call you and the LINE IS BUSY? Who the hell ever calls -us-?

Anyway, yeah, I did not expect Bo. Certainly not any time soon. He looks, obviously enough, exactly like I'd expect, though. Which is to say, exactly how -all- of his type look.

Wozzit say on the can? "Cheap, Foul-Tasting Beer"?

Yup.

And what can I say, I'm a social butterfly.

I may be stupid, but why are his arms so short?
