Who? Tanuki Rammingstone, known ONLY as Nuke (call him and Tanuki and you might find your self spread-eagle across your car hood with your pants lit on fire!!!), the local video game legend, a respectable drummer, and Kyle best bestest friend in the whole wide world (and, of course, polar opposite!!)!!!!

What? Grey raccoon dog with standard blind-man shades, a hideous Nine Inch Nails t-shirt, and spiky hair with dyed blue tips!!!

When? Born 18 years ago!!!!

Where? Aboriginal Canadian in nationality, born on an obscure reserve in Saskatchewen, moved to the nameless fictional city at five years old, currently lives on his own in crummy apartment across the back alley from Romanski Academy!!!

Why? Nuke's not the nicest guy in the world, but you wouldn't be either if you were orphaned at 16, you had to drop out of school and get emacipated to avoid going to a foster home, and you had to work three jobs with sucky pay to avoid welfare, 2 of which come with bosses who hate you, and to add insult to injury you're blind and have people left and right trying to take advantage of you!!! Nuke isn't stupid, and getting on his bad side is very very bad (often painful) idea!!!!

Likes? Drums, video games, his friends, $$$, Nine Inch Nails, Rammstein, KMFDM, Marilyn Manson, Linkin Park, Nickleback, Coal Chamber, Slipknot, Eminem, Korn, Clockwork Orange, his nice boss Rudy, sleeping, girls, kids (seriously!!!)

Dislikes? Pretty much everything else

Special powers? Possibly as a consequence of not having eyesight, Nuke has an extremely hightened sixth sense he says is intuition, and it's made him a seemingly unbeatable gameplayer!!!! He's also a talented drummer sought after by all new local bands (he usually gets kicked out soon because of his temper-he's actually staying in his current band cuz Kyle's in it!!!), and if he had $$$ he'd make a career out of it!!!

How do I annoy him? Next time you see him at the arcade, get a huge crowd behind him and start a singing that "Pinball Wizard" song!!! (News flash: Nuke's not deaf, he's not dumb, and he doesn't play pinball!!!!! @~_^@)

How do I make him really angry? Write him a check for $100 and tell him it's $200-he WILL find out you're cheating him!!!!!

What would surprise me? He's super nice to kids!!! He loves kids!!! And they love him!!!! What can I say, it's a strange world!!!!
