Uncle Chuckdechuck

Chuckdechuck 6000 (known to his family as Uncle Chuckdechuck) is an experienced mechanic, the uncle of Tails6000 and the adopted father of PabloDePablo. He has since retired from his job to assist Tails and his wife, Eclipse, in raising Taiz.

Early Life
Chuckdechuck was born in South Pole City, being a few years older than his brother Julian, who would become Tails's father. Chuckdechuck lived the majority of his early life in South Pole City, working at a local Eastshield Fried Fish restaurant with a hobby of working mechanics on the side. In his youth he dreamed of owning a mechanic shop of his own, though lacked the sufficient funds to make it a reality.

Years after his departure on his studies, Julian6000 invited Chuckdechuck with a letter to meet his wife in a small family reunion. During the reunion, Julian invited Chuck to live with them on the island to assist him as an extra mechanic. Chuckdechuck cheerfully agreed, seeing an opportunity to fulfill his dream, and moved in with them at the Seraphim Isles. Chuckdechuck eventually opened up his mechanic shop on the island as he helped with his brother's robotics on the side.

Losing His Family
On one unfortunate day in 1992, Julian was critically injured by Metal Explorer, one of his own creations, and died under hospitalization. Julian's wife died shortly after, though not before laying the egg that would hatch Chuckdechuck's future nephew. Chuckdechuck saw the egg as the sole reminder of his brother and took it under his care.

Chuckdechuck was extra cautious whenever handling his nephew's egg, constantly checking its condition terrified that he would lose the final trace of his brother. When he suspected that the egg may not survive, he took the egg to a hospital where his suspicions were confirmed; the egg was in very poor condition and would not survive. In a desperate attempt to save the egg, Chuckdechuck used Julian's Destruction Gem to strengthen the egg and to his relief, the egg hatched two weeks later, though came with unprecedented consequences on the chick's physiology.

Raising Chicks
Chuckdechuck knew something was different about Tails in his chick years as the side-effects of the Destruction Gem began to manifest. He had trouble keeping up with his nephew's incredible speed and hyper personality. He continued to work as a mechanic though cast doubt on how sustainable of an environment it was on the Seraphim Isles for raising a chick.

One morning after hearing a knock at the door, Chuckdechuck was surprised to see a young Kanta Penguin chick a year or so younger than Tails sitting in a cardboard box with a note on him reading “PabloDePablo.” Unsure of what to do or why the chick had a name so similar to his own, he asked around for anyone who knew of any adult Kanta penguins to no avail. Tails gleamed at the idea of a younger brother. Ultimately, Chuckdechuck gave up on his search for the parents and accepted PabloDePablo into their family, and the young Tails beamed with joy for his new adopted cousin.

Now Chuckdechuck's income as a Seraphim Isles mechanic was definitely unsuitable for raising two chicks. In 1997, he chose to move his family to the relatively more populated East Terrain. As many began migrating away from East Terrain, Chuckdechuck was worried he may have made a miscalculation, though luckily for his worries the city reformed with Ninjinian's founding of United Terra and the city's economy rocketed in the years to come.

Life Moves On
One morning in 2001, Chuckdechuck was attacked at his home by robots and had Julian's Destruction Gem stolen from him. Tails was infuriated when he learned of what happened to his uncle and started chasing the robots to secure his father's gem. Unfortunately in the process Tails had caused all the Destruction Gems to scatter across Antarctica and was unable to retrieve the gem of his father. While Tails blamed himself, Chuckdechuck understood what more of the gems united were capable of, and assured his nephew that he did the right thing by stopping Doctor Aye-Que.

As Tails had started a rivalry with Doctor Aye-Que, Chuckdechuck and PabloDePablo remained at the sidelines living an ordinary life whenever they could. Even as Tails gained popularity as a celebrity as a member of Antarctica's Protectors, he never forgot to visit his uncle and step-cousin.

Eventually PabloDePablo moved away independently from Chuckdechuck to Neo Domino City.

Retirement
A few years after his adopted son moved away, Chuckdechuck retired from his mechanic work, though still assisted Antarctica's Protectors whenever they needed his expertise.

When Tails had his son Taiz with Eclipse and moved back to the Seraphim Isles to raise him, Chuckdechuck was invited to join them there, to which he agreed. He helps around the house and assists the couple in raising his grandnephew, though spends most of his time sleeping on his favorite chair.

Appearance
Chuckdechuck is a green emperor penguin with a gray mustache and beard. In his old age, he has provident wrinkles below his eyes and typically wears a collared shirt.

Personality
Around his family and friends, Chuckdechuck has a relatively laid back and cheerful personality, often telling lighthearted jokes to them. When it comes to work-related business, he will drop most pleasantries and simply dedicate himself to the task at hand, taking a deep pride in all his mechanic work which he considers to be an art form in of itself. He will drop this serious attitude and replace it with enthusiasm when anyone shows interest or when working with someone just as experienced as he is.
