[IC Information]
Character Name: Perry the Platypus
Series: Phineas and Ferb
Gender: Male
Age: 5?
Species: Ornithorhynchus anatinus aka Platypus
Appearance: Perry is a platypus. He has a duck bill, duck-like feet, and a beaver-like tail, you know, a platypus. His fur is tealish in appearance (although Phineas describes it as the color of blueberries) and short, although it does fluff up nicely with introduced to static electricity. When pretending to be an ordinary platypus Perry likes to make his eyes point in different directions, giving him a very derpy appearance. He also walks on all fours while in disguise because, again, he's a platypus. However, when in secret agent mode, Perry dons a spiffy brown hat and walks on two legs. He has also been shown to wear communicator watches and other gizmos hidden in his fur.
Personality: There is not much personality to talk about, I mean, Perry is just a platypus. He is actually kind of boring because he doesn't do much. I doubt he's very intelligent, platypi aren't really known for their intelligence. He does seem attracted to music though, but maybe that's just taming the savage beast or something.
At least, that's what Perry would like for you to think. The above is really just a ruse that Perry puts on in front of the Flynn-Fletcher family as part of his disguise. He doesn't WANT them to know he's really intelligent and works as a secret agent for OWCA. Perry is most known for his serious approach to his work, even putting aside Major Monogram's jokes because he would prefer to just get down to business. He does HAVE a sense of humor, though, since he has been seen to smile or laugh on a few occasions, however it is rare for this to happen on the job.
The second biggest aspect of Perry is his selflessness. Perry always puts others, especially family, before himself. It just wouldn't be worth it to Perry if something were to happen to Phineas, Ferb, or any of the other family members he lives with. This is also what makes him to perfect hero because he is ready to make the sacrifices necessary in order to protect them. It goes without saying, then, that Perry is above all things loyal to his host family. If Dr. Doofenshmirtz's invention is directly aimed at hurting/affecting his family he will drop his playful banter with the doctor immediately to save them (since typically he goes through the usual routine with Doofenshmirtz otherwise).
In fact, the Flynn-Fletcher family is his greatest weakness as well as his greatest strength, since while he does keep them out of the know of his identity as a secret agent, he does truly love them. His biggest fear is losing them or having them discover his secret which would then force him to leave them behind forever. It is a thought that plagues him constantly and it is why he takes great care in making sure they NEVER see him as anything other than a normal platypus.
Perry is also quite nice and compassionate, mostly seen when he helps Doofenshmirtz out despite Doof being his major nemesis. They even exchange Christmas gifts and Perry has helped him on a few occasions with Vanessa.
By this point it probably goes without saying that Perry is really quite intelligent and quick on his feet. He can speak platypus and read/write in English, he can help operate and build some of Doofenshmirtz's inventions without much instruction, and is able to escape multiple traps as well as operate several different types of vehicles. This is partially from training, but a normal platypus would need more than just training to do half of the things Perry manages to do on an average day.
History: Knowledge of Perry's history dates back to a mere 5 years ago when he was in the local pet store waiting to be adopted by a family. This particular pet store was actually an outpost for OWCA to send their agents out in the field and it wasn't long before Perry had his assignment and cover under the Flynn-Fletcher family (who took him because he looked at both Phineas and Ferb at the same time). Originally the boys were going to name him Bartholomew, but eventually changed their minds and named him Perry. When and what kind of training Perry received from OWCA is unknown at this time, although it is assumed they are the ones that trained him in martial arts and other agent talents.
After that, most of Perry's days since then have been routine. He wakes up to spend some time with his family in the morning before being called in for an assignment typically related to Doofenshmirtz's plan. He foils the plan, usually helping erase whatever zany project Phineas and Ferb were up to that day, and returns home by the afternoon. At bed time Perry usually sleeps with either Phineas or Ferb and then in the middle of the night switches to the other boy so as not to show preferences (not that either boy probably realizes why he does it). There are variations to these days of course, like when he has a day off or when Doof isn't really doing anything particularly evil. Sometimes Perry even HELPS Doof if it turns out to be something good, usually this involves Vanessa in some way although Perry did help teach Doof how to kick a ball and has saved his life on a few occasions to boot.
Perry recently had to deal with his identity being exposed to Phineas, Ferb, and the rest of his family when the boys inadvertently helped Dr. Doofenshirmtz construct an Otherdimensionator. Perry tried to foil Doof's plans while maintaining his disguise but only ended up failing and had to rescue the boys by showing off his agent moves. Needless to say the boys didn't take it well and started questioning Perry's motives, all while upsetting Perry who really DID care for the boys and didn't just see them as his "cover." Eventually he teams up with Phineas to save the day but the day must end on a bitter note since Perry had to relocate or Phineas and the others have to have their minds wiped of that day's events. Phineas, Ferb, and the others opt to go with the mind erasing thing and take a few pictures with Perry to commemorate the day they would soon forget. Perry was uploading the pictures in his secret lair, when suddenly he found himself on a satellite in space.
Extra notes: Perry can switch into his disguise mode in a matter of seconds. He has above-normal strength, speed, stamina, accuracy, and reflexes for a platypus and is very adapt at hand-to-hand combat. He can understand English, both spoken and written. He can also operate almost any kind of machinery (cars, big rigs, boats, etc). He has pretty decent artistic abilities. He has a special spy badge and other gizmos like a communication watch and a parachute. He also enjoys soap operas and music (he is even capable of playing a few instruments). Perry has also been known to break the fourth wall occasionally.
Cambot post sample:
[Cambot has found something strange! He flies past the media deck, picking up the sounds of what could be a soap opera given the cheesy music and dialogue. He turns back to see who or what he can make fun of, however when he arrives on the deck he instead finds a small, teal animal lying on the couch. Shouldn't a platypus be on the nature deck?
The platypus looks up and makes a chittering noise, his eyes going in both directions so he's not looking directly at Cambot. Cambot zooms in on the platypus as if testing this. There have been talking ponies and birds and what not, surely the platypus wasn't...just a platypus.
But, nope, Perry just keeps lying there on the couch with his eyes pointing in two different directions. A subtitle pops up on the screen]
"JUST A PLATYPUS!"
[Cambot then spins around to leave, not seeing Perry let out a sigh of relief and getting comfy on the couch to enjoy his soaps. Perry makes a mental note to do something about that camera floating around otherwise he might be in trouble.]
Third-person log sample:
Perry waited until he was sure the room was clear of people and any monitoring systems before quickly placing his hat on his head and flipping behind the couch so he could think in peace. He didn't know where he was but the hovering robots and technology just SCREAMED Doofenshmirtz. He sighed, what had that ridiculous man done THIS time? Didn't he deserve a day off after having just saved TWO worlds from mortal peril? Surely his nemesis wasn't ready to do something evil again so soon. Perry hadn't even gotten a warning from the Major for Pete's sake!
The secret agent platypus paused, listening for footsteps beyond the door before slipping out into the hallway. He would have to be cautious since he wasn't completely sure what the situation was, even if he did suspect Dr. Doofensmirtz it wasn't like the man to wait this long to make his presence known. Where was his loud, grating voice going "Oh Perry the Platypus I see you have slipped into my satellite" or "Oh Perry the Platypus I wasn't expecting you so soon!" before springing a trap and pontificating about his plan? No, the more he thought about it the more he felt that something wasn't right at all and even if this was someone else's nemesis they had brought him into the mix meaning it was his problem now too. Platypi didn't just mysteriously get transported onto a satellite in the middle of space without reason.
Perry glanced around the end of the hallway he had come to, adjusting his hat so he could see. Again, the hallway was clear but it appeared that the monitoring robot was still hanging around. Perry was going to have to be careful if he was going to---wait a minute. Perry smacked his forehead, of course! He could take the bot and try to get some intelligence from it. It had a camera which meant that he'd have to avoid being seen but once he had it he could probably use the surveillance footage to his own advantage and check out the rest of the ship without sneaking around. GENIUS!
He waited until the robot had started floating down the hallway before springing into action and launching his small body at the robot. He crashed into the robot, pinning it to the ground and covering it's lens with his paw. The robot struggled but Perry kept it pinned as he reached up and pulled the band off of his hat and covered the lens with it. That done, he grabbed the basketball size monitor robot under his arm and ducked into a nearby, conveniently located closet.
Keeping the robot from squirming was a chore and Perry didn't exactly have his normal tools. Thankfully, however, the janitorial closet seemed to be well stocked with all sorts of tools and cleaning supplies so he could probably make do with those. Grabbing a few tools, Perry turned back to the robot who was spinning in circles trying to get the band off of its lens. Briefly, Perry felt a pang of guilt for catching it off guard, but steeled himself against it. He needed answers and if it turned out he was wrong about the robot he would apologize then but right now, Perry had work to do.
Riff sample: Perry the Platypus cannot talk and therefore cannot riff.
