Basic Info
Dr. Garfield Wiggins is a scientist who works as a geneticist at the Townindale division of NoxCorp. A prodigy of the sciences, Garfield was pushed into his field as a child, excelling beyond the capabilities of his fellow classmates at school. While his peers were graduating third grade, Garfield had already completed his Bachelor's degree in biochemistry. While they were beginning middle school, Garfield had already achieved both his M.Sc and Ph.D degrees. And while they were graduating high school, Garfield had already won his first Nobel Prize.
This genius and success had its drawback, however. While the less gifted children had fun on the playground, Garfield was often studying, with no time to make friends and interact with others. As a result, his social growth was stunted, and he was left isolated from everyone around him, save for a scant few. On top of this, Garfield did not feel his Nobel Prize was enough to win everyone's respect, and tried to reach higher echelons of recognition. Driven by a legendary ambition that he inherited from both sides of his family tree, Garfield attempted to attend magical school in Bluehaven's Finest, the most prestigious academic facility for spellcasters in the States. His time there was not as successful as everything else, which only motivated him more to engage in his studies of Sangromancy (Blood magic) and Necromancy (Death magic). As a result, he developed an Edgelord Quirk (his eyes glow red when he's in an angry state) and developed a strong bond with Tracy Bellucci and Stephanie Young. However, Tracy and Stephanie's friends did not like Garfield, and punished the Wizard wannabe's ambition by trying to frame him for a crime he did not commit. This was settled in a notorious court case, with the friends of Tracy and Stephanie failing to get Garfield imprisoned on trumped up charges. However, this caused him to be expelled from Bluehaven's Finest once and for all, which ended his rigorous studies and caused a target to be put on his head, in the forme of a bounty.
As an end result of this expulsion, Garfield primarily lived a solitary life from thereon out. Garfield's number of friends steadily grew, to include Konstantin Volkov (a kindred soul who was much older than he, who seemed to enjoy Garfield's LARPing and other activities that land him a mixed reputation amongst Townindale's general populace), "Lex" (a roommate found through an online dating profile, assumed initially to be a homunculus), and Chaos (a friendship won by proxy of many negative interactions gradually netting positive results for the both of them, leading to their mutual respect). On top of this, Garfield's attempts to reconnect with Tracy and Stephanie have, so far, proven successful.
An aficionado of magical items, Garfield's main hobby is the collection of miscellaneous items of moderate importance (many of them either magical weapons, Hollywood memorabilia, or both), which he pays for with his high salary at NoxCorp. When he isn't looking for new things to purchase, he is often performing experimentations with chemicals. He has enough money to buy a decently-sized castle; but, in doing so, he might accidentally miss that auction on that very special pair of Rocky Balboa boxing gloves.
