Gareth Huge-Bones
Gareth Huge-Bones

Gareth Hugh-Bones is a fictional mid 30s male who was born in the UK. He currently lives somewhat of a nomadic life travelling around the country to where ever his job takes him. He is an active individual who enjoys a variety of activities that range from cos-play, knitting, line dancing, collecting Star Trek memorabilia, flower pressing and painting life models.

He has had a wide and varied education, yet it has been a rather unsuccessful one as he always struggled at school and failed to master the finer points of English and Maths. However this has not stopped him from having a limited success in his current occupation. Always finding it difficult to make friends from an early age has resulted in him leading a rather secluded life, one which he tends to fill with fantasy and make believe, commonly played out through the guise of role playing games.

Whilst his current vocation takes him on extensive journeys around the British Isles, and is something that he currently enjoys, it has been known to take its toll on him. To this end he has developed a number of coping strategies to deal with the extended periods that he is away from his home. Gaz's Coping Skills or 'Copius-Gazerisms' as he has come to describe them are a number of methods/tools that he uses regularly in order to keep his mind focused on the job at hand. One of the main ones that he uses is to call his journeys around the UK as 'Quests'. He will imagine that his current task is a quest and that the 'Quest' will only be complete once he has finished his job. To aid on these 'Quests' he always takes with him his standard set of equipment, these being:

- The Chest of Never Ending Sustenance (lunchbox)

- The Bottomless Bag of Magical Garments (suitcase)

- The Horseless Chariot of Sputtering Speed (Car)

- A Leather Bound Satchel of 'Limited' Wealth (Wallet)

- An Enchanted Mystical Brick of Mysterious Voices (Mobile Phone)

- An Inanimate Effigy of a Comforting Wild Beast (Teddy Bear)

Whilst the vast majority of his 'Quests' tend to be extremely mundane this tends to lead Huge-Bones to get distracted from the job at hand and unfortunately allows him time to get carried away with the Quest that he has created. This often leads to series of unfortunate and often highly amusing (for on-lookers anyway) mishaps. One such adventure resulted in him interrupting a rather high profile meeting with some very important individuals of a well known organisation by pretending that his hand had been possessed by an evil spirit and that his hand would hurl insults at people within the room whilst pretending to be a hand puppet. Needless to say he had an interesting time trying to explain his actions to those involved.

Whilst not being dealt the greatest of life’s hands, he is none the less a happy and contented individual who never fails to see the world and the people in it in the best possible way.
