NPC #9: Headmaster Wood

Name: Allen Woodrow
Nickname: Wood (faculty & staff), Woody or Headmaster Woody (students)
Age: 40 (?)
Classification: Human
Birthdate: --
Birthplace: --

Student 1: "Hey, its Woody!"
Student 2: "Mornin', Headmaster Wood!"
Student 3: "G'morning, Woody~"
Sword Play: "Wood! What the heck are you doing waking up in the middle of the day dressed in-in-in---" (sputtering)
Sparky: (gapes)"Is that a Teletubby pyjama suit?"
Glass bursts out laughing.

Physical Description:
His physical appearance belies his age, often mistaken to be years younger that he actually is. With shoulder-length dark brown hair -- sometimes left free, in a ponytail or loosely held back -- parted to one side, the long fringe reaching almost to his chin, he is often affectionately chastised by Bloom for being unruly. He has clear green eyes which are more grayish-green when he's serious. Believed to be idle yet he has a muscular and well-toned physique that could have only been obtained in outdoor activities or fieldwork.
There are times he is presentable, and sometimes he resembles a bum in his manner of dress. One can only guarantee that he can always come up with weirdness. The one thing that stays the same with him is the silver loop earring in his left ear, a gift from Bloom.

Personality:
A bit of a clown and a wacko in which the students love him for it, or they just find him amusing as the middle-aged eccentric Headmaster. His behavior infuriates, frustrates and in the end is resignedly accepted by the faculty and staff of HADES. He can be a flirt and a tease in a good-natured way. This is his personality when he has time off, but he's very serious and determined guy when working, taking no-nonsense and foolishness. When off work you can fool around with him as much as you want, he definitely knows the definition of a "good time", but never underestimate him he can bark out orders faster than a machine gun.
 He likes to drink sweetened tea with cakes or mint treats more than imbibing in alcohol and soda, a health nut if you will. Never, ever, ever, ever join him for breakfast. His idea for morning meals are extra hot chili peppers mixed in chunky corned beef, eggs scrambled with Tabasco sauce, or peanut butter blended with wasabi. He eats salads or greens and fruits for lunch and sea foods for dinner. He's a health nut... in the wrong order.
Accel, Alter, and Verifier alike don't know what to make of him. He holds no prejudice nor racial preference, he's open to all. There are also occasions where his staff can find him diving in mud playing ball sports with the students, climbing trees for contests, breaking the fire alarm since its nearer to his office than the audio room to make an announcement, etc. He breaks every rule implemented to students instead of setting the perfect example... and they love him for it. All in all, he's a jovial fellow.

History:
Has been in HADES since his teens and became the headmaster by unanimous votes by students and staff alike after ousting the last one. He has been headmaster for 8 years running with no signs of competition arising to take his seat. Even if there are, they'd have to tackle every student in the campus to vote against him, which is a moot point since they like him where he is.
