Howard Newson

The Safety Inspector

About

A simple man with simple pleasures. He is not the sharpest tool in the shed, but his heart is (usually) in the right place. He prioritizes comfort, snacks, and avoiding work at all costs.

Personality

Lazy, gluttonous, and dim-witted, yet surprisingly affectionate and enduring. He represents the id of the human psyche.

Backstory

He grew up in a small town, married his high school sweetheart who is way out of his league, and landed a job as a safety inspector despite having no qualifications. He lives a simple life driven by his impulses.

Education

High School Graduate (barely) and attended a nuclear physics crash course.

Achievements

Won a bowling tournament with a perfect 300 game (once) and accidentally saved the nuclear power plant from a meltdown by pressing a random button.

Taking cannonballs to the stomach, eating immense amounts of food, and dumb luck.

Hobbies

Bowling, drinking at the local pub, watching TV, and eating.

Life Goals

To retire, eat the world's biggest hoagie, and watch TV in peace.

Fears

Running out of beer, his wife being mad at him, and spiders.

Core Values

Family, Food, and Relaxation. He believes life is too short to worry.

Inspirations

The guy who invented the reclining chair and anyone who sells donuts.
