General Info:

Born into a poor family, Rabid didn't have much in the way of toys to occupy himself with growing up, so he relied mostly on his own imagination to stay entertained. Being unpopular in school helped him along in developing the wild side of his mind and most naturally led him to playing RPGs with the other popularity challenged children. Unfortunately, he rarely managed to stay with any gaming group for long due to his wildly unpredictable behavior, his apparent inability to distinguish fantasy from reality (a feigned inability, but no one around him could tell the difference), and antisocial tendencies. He graduated high school shortly after alienating the last of the town's gaming community and took up his father's old job of junkyard caretaker, mostly talking to the wrecked cars and rats for company. When he heard about a new group of gamers searching around for players, he immediately jumped at the chance to join in. Fortunately for him, Jim and Jammer were far too desperate to say no and are now far too scared of him to tell him to leave.
Rabid is every single munchkin and powergamer you've every known roled up into one tightly-wound ball of insanity. He often physically acts out everything his character does, even if it isn't a live-action session. He doesn't actually try to hurt any of his fellow gamers, but his vehement gyrations often make it seem that way . . . he's actually a pretty nice guy under it all, and wouldn't hurt anyone.
Well, anyone real, anyway. Non-Player Characters don't count and find themselves rapidly mown down under the powercleaving battle-axes of his twinked out characters. One of the few times that Rabid actually uses applied mathmatics (which he's actually proficient at when he wishes to be) is when he's min/maxing every stat to its fullest.
