Biography[]

Early Start[]

Skips (formerly known as Walks) is born somewhere in the 18th or 19th Century. During his teenage times, he went on many adventures with his friend, Techmo, including going into a Timenado that takes him to the present. He is also been expelled from many different high schools for making fights and remain aloof from his record. In the latest school he joined, he is given a stern warning not to make fights in school or else he will be expelled again

High School Tragedy[]

In 1814 He made friends with Gareth and the Guardians of Eternal Youth but got in trouble with Klorgbane, as Klorgbane bullies Walks' friends. As they were about to fight, the Headmaster intervenes but the fight between them isn't over. During his break, he sat with a classmate named Desdemona or Mona for short and made friends with her. However, she promptly left as Walks discuss with his friends on fighting Klorgbane because Mona dislike fighting. This causes Walks to leave his past of fighting behind him.

Soon over time, Walks relationship with Mona grew as she taught him many skills, went on dates and skip together. Meanwhile, the school is suffering under Klorgbane bully which Walks wants to intervene. However, if he fight Klorgbane, Mona will leave him and he will be expelled from school. Gareth console Walks that they will find a suitable time and location, but the time is the prom which Walks reluctantly agree due to the only time Klorgbane accepts.

Walks bring Mona to the prom and have a party but was reminded by Gareth to join the fight. However, Klorgbane being impatient intercept the prom and challenge Walks for a fight. With Mona's blessing, Walks engage Klorgbane but the latter is immune to punches. His friends tried to help but was defeated. During the chaos, a rubble collapsed onto Mona and killing her in front of Walk's eyes. Gareth managed to bring the Fists of Justice to Walks, he uses it to fight Klorgbane effectively and punch him out to space. He went back to check on Mona but the only thing left is the necklace Walks gave to her. This devastated Walks as she was the only one he cared about.

Years later, he is invited to the Guardians of Eternal Youth once more to makes Walks immortal as they need him to defeat Klorgbane who will come back every 157 years. The only condition is to change his name, Walks remember his old days with Mona and change his name to Skips. After that he becomes immortal, but he also have to perform a dance on his birthday to sustain his immortality. It also started to work on Mr Maellard's park once he is immortal, Skips worked on about 2 centuries before meeting with new park members like Benson, Muscle Man and High Five Ghost and finally Mordecai and Rigby.

Appearance[]

Skips is a yeti (standing at 6'4") with yellow-ish eyes, wearing only jeans with a brown belt. He closely resembles a gorilla. He has large muscles and abs, though he has small hands. He has white hair all over his body except for his hands, feet, chest area and his face. Also it is revealed that he lost some of his hair so he made a combover.

In Mordecai Mounds vs. Bugs Booms: Laff-A-Lympics the Movie: Riders of Final Battle Featuring Power Rangers x Masked Rider x Kamen Rider x VR Troopers x Beetleborgs He wears a leather jacket and leather pants.

Personality and Traits[]

He has an interesting and mysterious past due to his immortality. Everybody relies on him to solve supernatural problems, and he almost always has the answer. There have only been a few occasions where he didn't know what to do, such as in "Brain Eraser" when, although he knew how to delete Mordecai's memory of Pops' nudity, he didn't know how to exit the video tape, he also couldn't fix error 219 on Mordecai and Rigby's computer. In "Skunked", where his best ideas (a shower and coffee) didn't work. And in "Sugar Rush" he said to give Pops more sugar to stop his sugar rush, however this only made it worse, however Rigby knew what to do by giving him the opposite of more sugar: Benson's whole wheat donut. Skips also admits that he doesn't know what's wrong with Rigby in "This Is My Jam ", and even goes so far as to give advice that indirectly worsens the situation.

Skips is often quiet and is one of the least vocal character of the show, spending the majority of his spare time working out in the golf cart garage which doubles as his home. Despite his monotone expressions, he can be seen having a good time joking around, such as in "This Is My Jam", where he jokes with Mordecai and Rigby that he knew everything, though admits afterwards that he only knew about their plan because he was "on the can" while they were talking about it. Skips has great self-esteem and pride in his knowledge and strength, once going so far as to kill Rigby when he beat Skips at arm wrestling.

He is considerably friendly with the other groundskeepers, and seems to be good friends with Benson; convincing him to take a break in "Party Pete" due to the stress he was going through. Overall, he's always willing to assist anybody that needs him and his expertise, despite how annoyed with the situation he might be. Skips rarely ever walks or runs, but when he is punched in the face by the bouncer at Carrey O'Key's Karaoke Bar, he runs after his attacker, and throws him into a table, which breaks with the force of Carl/The Bouncer's weight and he walk while Benson is driving the cart to pull Rigby's head out of the black hole in "First Day".

Regular Show Reboot[]

Skips is first introduced as one of the main characters in the new reboot. Although he is the version of the original Skips, there are differences that are changed from the original. This version is a human instead of a yeti and he wears modest clothes, sometimes shirtless whenever he wants. He has a very buff body and huge muscles as people described him as a “big lug” due to his kind and gentle heart to children and animals. He has a dragon tattoo on his chest and wears black jeans and rides on a motorcycle. Everything he wears is all black, white and silver. He is immortal, but he looks like he’s in his late twenties to early thirties.

In the reboot, he helps out with Benson at the park and has a crush and falling in love with Lydia Abradeer, a new park worker and an immortal vampire. During the episodes, he starts to blush and gets shy when he’s around her which makes him write a note to show his feelings and keep it as a secret. After fighting a bunch of bikers, Lydia picks up the note and reciprocates his feelings by giving him a kiss on the cheek which he blushed. In “Time and the Moment” episode, Skips and Lydia had sex after spending time with each other as Skips calling it the best time of his life, making Lydia blushed with embarrassment while happy for Skips to announced their relationship as well as Lydia calling him “daddy” in an affectionate yet sexual manner. In one of the episodes, Skips would blushed when Lydia compliments, smiles or walks up to him. After reading the note, Lydia reciprocated his feelings and they begin their relationship. When they start dating, they start to have sex which Lydia calls Skips “Daddy” as Skips calls her “Baby.”

Relationships[]

Elizabeth[]

Skips knows that Elizabeth had a tough time with her mother and would always give her some advice that would help her keep moving forward in her life. Elizabeth also likes the advice that Skips would always give to her. Skips is also helping Elizabeth with her fear of thunderstorms with his methoods on treating her Astraphobia and would sometimes help Elizabeth with the trauma that she had from her mother.

Mordecai[]

Mordecai has a better relationship with Skips than Rigby does, and displays friendship and responsibility towards him. Mordecai always looks toward Skips for any help for any matter, with the presumption that Skips can fix anything with his seemingly infinite wisdom, except computers. In one instance, Mordecai voluntarily sacrifices the chocolate cake he and Rigby wanted so badly to save Skips from dying in the episode "Free Cake."

Rigby[]

Skips behaves slightly more negatively toward Rigby, and as a result, less friendly. Skips knows that it's usually Rigby's fault for all sorts of horrible events that occur, but always remains patient enough to fix the problem and teach both of them a lesson. Skips does not approve of Rigby's immature behavior, one time going as far as to kill him. Skips might have a little bit of respect for Rigby, such as trying to bring back his life by winning an arm wrestling match, breaking his own hand allowing Rigby to play in a video game tournament with Mordecai, giving Rigby advice on being truthful about cheating on a bet, and even in social outings with the other Park Employees.

Benson[]

Even though Skips is employed by Benson, the two are at least friends, if not good friends. As seen in "Meat Your Maker", Skips chugs soda while Benson and Pops cheer him on. Benson has the utmost respect for Skips, as he is a hard worker and very dependable. Benson left Skips in charge while he took the day off in "Party Pete" without realizing he was going to let Mordecai and Rigby have their party anyway.

Pops[]

Pops and Skips do not interact too much throughout the series. It is shown in "Skips vs. Technology" that he has known Pops as a child. Although they don't appear to hate each other, Skips, being deep and knowledgeable, may be bored with Pops' childish, overly free-spirited attitude. He warns Mordecai and Rigby not to teach him words he shouldn't use.

Hi Five Ghost[]

Skips and Hi Five Ghost are rarely seen interacting with one-another, though it can be assumed that the two like each other based on their friendly natures. Two notable interactions between the pair include Hi Five Ghost challenging Skips to an Arm Wrestle "Over the Top", and Skips and Hi Five Ghost going to prank the Rival Park in "Prankless".

Gary[]

Gary is Skip's rival and he is also the one who takes Skips to The Guardians of Eternal Youth in his El Camino.

The Guardians of Eternal Youth[]

The Guardians granted Skips his eternal youth, but only if he does his Spirit Dance every year on his birt

Thomas[]

Skips and Thomas haven't interacted much; however, in "Starter Pack" he told Mordecai and Rigby to let Thomas fight his own battles. Skips has yelled at him with the others before, but has also been on friendly terms with him, such as in "Country Club" when he stops Benson from yelling at Thomas.

Love Interests[]

Mona[]

In Diary, it was revealed that Skips had a woman who used to skip with him every day, but he lost her due to her sacrificing herself to save him from Klorgbane. Because of this, he vowed to skip both night and day for the rest of his life, and he then changed his name from Walks to Skips.

Lydia Abradeer[]

In the reboot of the Regular Show Universe, Skips has a crush on Lydia Abradeer, the vampire girl, musician and a park worker. The first day in the pilot episode, Skips falls for Lydia as well as having a crush on her, not only for her beauty, but he loves her kindness, intelligence and her talent. During the episodes, Skips often blushes whenever he’s around her, even though she doesn’t realized. Skips tries to keep his composure from freaking out or blurting out his feelings towards her. During gatherings, he gets nervous as she walks to him, look at him or even talking to him. When Lydia brushes her hair or pushes her hair back, he gets turned on. He gets turned on when she’s wearing a bikini, or her bra and underwear or naked. A running gag shows a montage of Lydia and Skips bumping into each other, usually Lydia falls on Skips, or getting pushed or bumped into Lydia’s breasts, causing him to panic. These running gags often starts with Mordecai and Rigby causing trouble, Pops in trouble, Benson’s anger or Muscle Man’s mischief. During the fight with bikers who claimed to fought with Lydia enter the park, Lydia and Skips fought off as Skips’s note fall from his pocket. Lydia picks it up and reads it. She begins to reciprocate his feelings and falls in love with by kissing him on the cheek, making him smile and blushed. After the note, they begin to date and hang out with each other. In “Time and the Moment” they had sex in Skips’s room with Lydia calling Skips’s “daddy” as Skips calling her “baby.” When he woke up with Lydia, he announced it by saying it’s the best moment of his life, making Lydia blushed with embarrassment while feeling happy when she enjoyed it with him. There are times where he plays with Lydia’s long black hair by stroking it, brushing it or squeezing it when it’s wet. After the park, Skips and Lydia get married after he proposed to her and have a house of their own. Skips and Lydia kiss and drive off in Skips’s car at the end of the final episode.

Foes[]

Death[]

Death is one of Skips' eternal lifelong frenemies. Their long time rivalry could simply be due to Death being the Grim Reaper, and therefore his job is to have people to pass when their time comes. However, since Skips struck a deal with the Guardians of Eternal Youth, he has been granted immortality, thus making Death's job even harder than it already is. Death has also attempted to reveal Skips' true name (Walks) to his friends in Skips Strikes, and has played against him in a Dodgeball Tournament. Their rivalry might not be as fierce at first glance. In "Exit 9B", he is shown helping the Park Workers fight against Garrett Bobby Ferguson, Jr.. Death was also invited to both Muscle Man's wedding and Pop's party in Cheer Up Pops, and has helped fight against Streaming in A Regular Epic Final Battle.

Klorgbane the Destroyer[]

Like Death, Klorgbane is one of Skips' enemies. Every 157 years, Skips must defeat Klorgbane or the world will end. In "Skips' Story", it is revealed that they knew each other from high school. Klorgbane was the school bully, and was responsible for Mona's death.
