Terry Van Furry

"Considering the current circumstances, taking into account our location, health and equipment, logically, there is nothing that can possibly go wrong at this very moment."

- Terry Van Furry

Terry Van Furry is Wikipenguino45's rather intelligent blue puffle who accompanies Wikipenguino on his many adventures as a member of The Venturous Three. A puffle capable of speech, Terry also shares Wikipenguino's interest in science fiction and technology, and researches fourth-wall and beyond fourth-wall related subjects such as reality. Terry is also a core member of the Organization of Human Research which focuses on studying human behaviour, strange objects used by humans, and many other things to do with humanity. Terry is aware of the fourth wall's existence, but has very limited knowledge of it or how it functions.

Early Life
Terry was born somewhere near the edge of the Tropicalian jungle in a small Puffle-inhabited hotspot to Lisa and Fernando Van Furry. At some point, Terry managed to get lost, wandering away from his home into the deeper parts of the jungle. After seeing what appeared to be the familiar jungle edge next to his home, Terry wandered towards it, finding himself near a road. After wandering the road for a while, he was met with two penguins who took him to the nearest shelter.

After a few days in the shelter, Terry was taken across the country and soon found himself being transferred to a pet shop in Tropicapolis. About a month or so after he arrived there, the president of the country, Penguino Lagois IV, along with his wife and son waddled in to adopt a pet. Hearing from the shopkeeper that Terry was desperately in need of a home, the family adopted him and took him home.

Despite being incredibly afraid at first (especially due to the dangers of his journey to the pet store), Terry slowly adjusted and learned to live with his new family. He grew up alongside their son Wikipenguino and took an interest in reading books and learning. Terry travelled with the family on all of their countless trips abroad. After a trip to Dorkugal, Terry had the chance to learn a lot there, and there, he picked up many of the local nerds' traits, such as their interest in maths. In school, Terry excelled at several subjects, almost always being the top student in the class.

Involvement
Terry has occasionally been with Wikipenguino45 and Falco on reconnaissance missions to the Darktonian Realm and has (though sometimes reluctantly) shared a lot of their adventures from venturing around Antarctica to find Darktan, embarking on a mission to take down a mysterious villain, as well as many other adventures. As a member of the Venturous Three, Terry's role is highly valued in the trio, with virtually all tech-related and communication-related issues or roles being fulfilled solely by him. Terry is usually the first to pick up on any updates or solutions during the Three's adventures, informing the other two of any possible help from allies, background information about their surroundings, or any potential difficulties or advantages in their situation.

Terry is also an EPF Agent, and usually follows Wikipenguino on whatever mission he is assigned to, usually something S.H.A.R.K. related, due to Wikipenguino's experience in that field. Terry is also a key member of the Intercontinental Organization of Human Research, a group of penguins from around Antarctica dedicated to the research and study of human-related topics in an effort to understand them better.

Personality
Terry is considered highly unusual for his kind, enjoying reading books and often less willing to involve himself in anything new. However, he does still share similar traits with other blue puffles such as loyalty.

Abilities
Terry is able to code, hack and can speak fluent English, read binary and other computer-based languages. If given the right tools and items, Terry can create a simple computer with basic functions and programs.

Appearance
Terry appears to be nerd-like at first glance. Terry has blue fur, and because of his short-sightedness, wears round black, glasses. Being a bookworm, Terry is sometimes seen carrying around a book, and during his many adventures, a laptop or a phone.

Family
The latest known status of Terry's parents is unknown, having disappeared some time after he was born.

Good

 * Wikipenguino45 - Wikipenguino and Terry have lived with each other since both of their childhoods, and Terry is almost always by Wikipenguino's side. While Wikipenguino is usually the adventurous one in most situations, Terry is the more cautious one, noticing things that Wikipenguino sometimes doesn't, and assisting him in any way possible.
 * Sammy - Wikipenguino adopted a yellow puffle named Sammy in February of 2019, having previously only owned one puffle, that puffle being Terry. Ever since, the two have become good friends, though Terry sometimes gets overwhelmed by Sammy's energetic and eager personality, and finds him to sometimes be reckless and inconsiderate of his consequences.
 * Falco - The two are both members of the Venturous Three, and therefore have been on countless adventures together. Falco and Terry are known to both occasionally quarrel about minor or petty things that happen, with Falco usually lambasting Terry's tendency of stating the situation is under control, moments before chaos erupts. Nevertheless, the two are still friends, and help each other out.
 * Cheddarbox - Cheddar often pokes fun at Terry's nerd-esque personality, sometimes even jokingly taking Falco's side in an argument with Terry whenever Cheddar is present. Terry doesn't usually see the fun or point of Cheddar's jokes or pranks, calling them absurd, but doesn't hold it against him.
 * Pinky - Terry is friends with Pinky, the adopted puffle of Wikipengal45, who is the R63-Antibody of Wikipenguino.
 * Mike Whirlpool - As with Sammy, Terry finds Mike to be incredibly exuberant. Mike sometimes plays pranks on Terry of the same vein and level that his owner, Cheddarbox does.
 * Matthew Markipuff - Matthew is the adopted puffle of Wikipenguino's uncle, Dr. Infinity, who is an inventor and engineer. Matthew works alongside his owner in his workshop, and usually welcomes Terry and the rest of the Three if they are present or have come by to visit. Matthew and Terry often compare their knowledge of machinery and circuitry when they meet.
 * Xander - The ninja puffle of Kenny Lagois, Xander and Terry have only met once or twice, and haven't interacted much, usually due to Xander's mostly silent personality.

Bad

 * Xerry Van Xurry - The evil X-Antibody of Terry, Xerry was created by means unbeknownst to Terry himself, who only learned of him through Wikipenguino, who first encountered Xerry. Xerry is a member of S.H.A.R.K., and occupies a seat in their infamous "Council of Seven", a core sub-group of prominent members of the entire organization. Terry and Xerry have only met once in person, an occasion in which they fought each other.
 * Wikipenguino X - The X-Antibody of Terry's owner, Wikipenguino X, has clashed against Terry himself, the EPF, and the rest of the Venturous Three on numerous occasions, and is the leader of the S.H.A.R.K. organization. Predictably, Terry isn't on good terms with Wikipenguino X at all.
 * Draco Cypher

Trivia

 * Despite being a real nerd, Terry does not have Nerd Sickness.
 * It's quite likely that he may have some Dorkugese ancestry.
