| Bio: | Name: Angus MacGyver Goes by: MacGyver Nicknames: Mac, bud Date of Birth/Age: March 23, 1951 Occupation: Special agent (employed by the Phoenix Foundation) / Shop Instructor / owns fix-it shop Hobbies: Mountain climbing, chemistry, camping, martial arts Hometown: Mission City, Minnesota Lives in: Los Angeles, California Marital Status: Single Orientation: Heterosexual Fandom: MacGyver Point in fandom taken from: Sometime before he left the Phoenix Foundation (can't really be more specific than that) Background: Able to make a bomb out of chewing gum and defuse a missile using a paperclip, Angus MacGyver is a very unique individual. Raised in Mission City, Minnesota, MacGyver is a special agent and a "trouble shooter" for the Phoenix Foundation. A jack of all trades and a master of none, MacGyver was trained by the US Department of External Services (DXS) to be an agent, where he picked up much of his initial skills. Mac makes an art form of pulling together knowledge collected over his life to solve problems and fix things... An outspoken supporter of gun control, and a supporter of environmental preservation, racial equality and assisting the poor, Mac is not your average action hero, if you would call him that. Shaped by things that happened to him, including the death of his father and grandmother when he was seven (leaving him to be raised by his mother and his grandfather Harry Jackson), he is a chemistry enthusiast an active ice hockey player and a mountain climber. After high school Mac went to Western Tech where he graduated in 1973 with a Bachelor's degree in physics and chemistry and had studied under Julian Ryman, a man who also had an ability to fix things with everyday objects and was probably influential on Mac. After graduating from college he turned down an offer to work at the nearby nuclear power plant and started working for the special forces disposing of bombs for a short period in Vietnam. Eventually he moved to Los Angeles where he has a number of scatter jobs, including working as a taxi driver for Jack, until 1979, when he accidentally met Peter Thornton, an agent at the Department of External Services (DXS). When MacGyver conveniently saved Thornton's life using a paper clip, a wrench and shoelaces, Mac was also offered at job as a field agent at the DXS. He kept until when Pete was offered a job as Director of Operations at the Phoenix Foundation. MacGyver followed Pete and works in a similar role for the Foundation - as a "sort of troubleshooter." Working at the Foundation involved a variery of tasks, usually field operations - anything from conducting environmental surveys, working with juvenile delinquints, helping those in need or breaking up terrorists groups using his wits and a piece of string... After the daughter of one of their employees vanished without a trace, Pete sent Mac to Ravenhurst University, undercover as the Shop Teacher/local fix-it man to try and find out exactly what was going on. Other: Macgyver is an active mountain climber and ice hockey player, he is also enthusiastic race car driver and was quite successful before an accident put him out of the business. He speaks (to a greater or lesser extent) Russian, German, French, Italian, American Sign Language (ASL) and Morse Code. He hanglides, skis, and does any number of other sports activities... He is a member and active participant in the "Big Brothers, Big sisters" program in town. Class Taught: Shop Living Arrangements: Two bedroom - one can be used as a guest room, the Foundation set him up with his apartment. PB: Richard Dean Anderson | |||||||||
