EP1: GARY THE GADGET GUY

Gary's Birth

It was a lovely day of '65, on the small residential island of Penguin Island (formerly known). The 60s were a pretty tough time of Penguin Island. Ever since the economic breakdown in '59, the Cool War '60, and the Massive Strike '61, the island has been quite rough. During the time Gary was born, the island was seperated into 5; Red, Blue, Yellow, Black and Green.

Economy top:


 * 1: Red


 * 2: Blue


 * 3: Yellow


 * 4: Green


 * 5: Black

During the tragic times, Gary was born and raised by a pretty wealthy family in the second wealthiest area. At Age 1, Gary was given a book called "Science for the babies". The book was one of the earliest inspirations for his mind to get opened up.

The Economic Depression of '68

At Age 3, Gary's family, as well as the entire island, was hit upon one of the most economic depression. The Red penguin area was the least effected with nearly no effect. But, poor Gary was living smack dab in the middle of the depression. His family of 6 including him, along with his mom, his dad, his younger sister named Garianna, and his two cousins Gariwald and Gariwald II. Gariwald and his father were forced to leave, to work at the Penguin Factories.

15 months pass, as no resolution was found. Gary had still managed to survivie with his science books he had bought at the charity book foundation. This day, the leaders of all 5 areas met up and discussed to ally. Unfortunately, it did not work out that well. Red stayed independent, while Blue and Yellow joined for one, and Green and Black joined eachother too. This was also the start of Gary's first invention, he called the "Happiness Looking Machine 1" according to notes and doodles from his old old journal pages.

Gary's First Invention

It was summer of 1969, around early July. This was the rise of "hippies". Economies had flown back, but unfortunately the Green-Black area was still economy-damaged. In order to fix it, 5 year old Gary used his small, yet functional first invention: "The Happyness Looking Machine 2.4" (It was an updated version of the first one). After he built it, Gary managed to work it, and surprisingly, worked! With a small purpose, which would higher the economy chances, he managed to get the Red onto the Blue-Yellow area.

The Island Wall

Late 1969, at November, terrible news arisn. The penguin leaders of Black-Green had told to put up a massive steel wall across the island, blocking off both sides. Before construction began, around 5,000 penguins managed to flee, with around 4,550 killed. This was called the Island Barrier. Eventually the R-B-Y side called themselves North Island, and the B-G called themselves the South Island. Traumatized by the event, Gary had to live with only his mom and Gariwald II, with his father, Gariwald I and Garianna trapped on the otherside.

Gary's Childhood

His most development childhood happened during the years 1971-1975. During these years, Gary had planned much more blueprints of ideas, sadly most of them were failures. He was actually found out with a special talent, taking him to the gifted program. Gary also held the "Education 4 Penguins" program, to make sure every penguin had education of North Island. He eventually was successful, allowing every penguin of North Penguin the right with education while the South had only 25% with education allowed. The year of 1973 was the most scariest year for Gary. The Invasion of the South killed Gariwald I and II, and his father as well. Garianna went missing, leaving him with his mother. Gary's blueprints were also burnt/captured, leaving him in a state that left him non-communication of the world. At mid 1974, after a trip the doctor, Gary was managed to be cured, but still was upset of the incident.

High School and University

In 1981, Gary started his first year in High School. This high school was actually one of the biggest high schools due to financial problems, so most of the high schools weren't able to be as big. 1982-1984 passed by quickly, and enjoyable, with new technology such as the NES coming out. Gary was able to create even better blueprints now, with much more knowledge than last time. Eventually, he won the "Smartest High Schooler" award 3 times, proving that he'll be able to go to Harvard. 1985 was the year Gary left for Harvard University. While staying there, he managed to get even more informations scientists found. Blueprints expanded, and got much more logic and explanations. He was able to start to test his inventions after finding his designs correct. He built 23 inventions that year, sadly only 4 working.

Tragic Strikes

1986 comes by, as a horrible news comes to Gary. His mom was killed by a massive fire in the whole neighborhood, killing 14 of the 43 people living there. Devastated, he used his funds to buy a whole new house, and even started to think of a safety invention to save penguins' lives, or at least protect them.

Demolishment of the Island Wall

1992 came by, as Gary was no working at Science Co. when he heard the news. North and South Island had came together in a confernece, discussing ideas. Eventually, they managed to finally equalize the island as one, calling it Penguinia. Families seperated for a long time reunited, as Gary rushed off to search for his sister. He found a book from Garianna, with stories of what happened. He reads it, and started to draw images of the incidents. By 1993, he had finished drawing, and decided to create a book with his images and his sisters' information.

Gary 1995-present

Ever since 1995, Gary got the job as "Island Scientist". He would be a island-wide scientist, discovering new stuff, making new inventions, and helpinng out penguin kind. Eventually, dark green, brown, white, aqua, pink and grey penguins began to populate, to is what now CP island.
