Character Info
Profile
Chimp is a good guy, a bit of a grumpy drunken uncle at times, but over all, he tries to help folks and hopes for the best but expects the worst. While he has learned to accept government and corporations do not accept his status as a person, when it is on a more personal level it will upset him quite a bit. He finds himself working for civil rights for all beings, even if he hides the fact from others at times
