Description

Meowfurryon is a member of The Guild and works at the Rooster's Rest. His legal name is Clyde Eastside but he usually goes by the name of his D&D character, Meowfurryon, Archdruid of the Grove and Protector of the Wild. He is currently level 4. Meowfurryon has the head of a cat and insists that it is not a mask, it is his actual head. He might be a furry.

He used to have a bad habit of ignoring bathrooms and peeing whenever and wherever nature called, including inside the Rooster's Rest. Eventually, his fellow Rooster's Rest employees became fed up with his behavior and forced him to see a veterinarian who removed his "yarn balls". Meowfurryon has since been on a search to get them back, going as far as creating a private investigator persona.

The loss of his "yarn balls" made Meowfurryon significantly smarter since he's no longer busy playing with his balls. He's become a successful accountant for the Rooster's Rest and helps out other businesses across the city as well.

Big Cat Rescue

Meowfurryon is also the founder and main operator of Big Cat Rescue, aiming to save all the cats of Los Santos. The plan is to incentivize fishing by implementing a generous payout system for fishermen that will lure citizens away from hunting. Big Cat Rescue accepts donations and unpaid volunteer workers for the future cat sanctuary. The operation is a money laundering scheme to cover up the illegal production of meth by higher-ups at the Rooster's Rest together with The Guild.

Major Events

All Cops Are Baas

One of Meowfurryon's favorite pastimes is causing harmless mischief by hiding in the trunks of unlocked cars, waiting for the oblivious driver to return and drive him around. On one occasion, he hid in the trunk of a police vehicle that was parked outside. From previous experience he knew that it was possible to enter the police department through its parking garage. His plan was to stay in the trunk until the car was parked in the parking garage, leave the trunk, enter the PD and shit in their dog bowl. This was to demonstrate his frustration that the police has K9 units but no Fe9 units.

The police car he had picked turned out to be Baas' and Dante's car. They did not take him inside the parking garage, instead they drove around Los Santos. On this ride, Meowfurryon accidentally became witness to a confidential conversation about ongoing police investigations and Baas' and Dante's personal lives. This included knowledge of meth production and a RICO case being built against the Vagos. Realizing what he had stumbled into, Meowfurryon started taking notes on his phone in case any information would be useful later.

Shortly after making a stop at Burger Shot, Baas and Dante ran into Nino Chavez. Meowfurryon decided that this was the perfect opportunity to leave the car. He started yelling for help saying he had been kidnapped. Nino however drove off, leaving Meowfurryon alone with Baas and Dante who were now aware of his presence. Meowfurryon tried to explain that he had entered the trunk at Burger Shot but they didn't believe him. They were paranoid about what Meowfurryon had overheard and continued to interrogate him even after he asked for a lawyer. To get him to tell the truth, they took him to a torture chamber in Grapeseed where they poured water over him and forced him to leave his cat form. At this point, Meowfurryon thought they were going to kill him.

When Meowfurryon refused to speak anyway, he was taken to jail. A lawyer was eventually sent to his cell but Meowfurryon didn't feel like the lawyer was on his side. Instead, he got the impression that Baas and Dante were trying to discredit him by pushing for a 51-50 on the basis that Meowfurryon believes himself to be a cat but isn't actually a cat person. Meowfurryon was then sent to prison.

Upon his return, The Guild, the emperors and most of the city were appalled by Baas' actions and determined to serve justice, maybe more so than Meowfurryon himself. Baas was quickly suspended. Dean Watson allowed Meowfurryon to move into the suite above the casino where he would be safe. To further protect Meowfurryon, Lando Stormborn switched IDs with him since most people don't know Lando by his legal name, Keith Wanderlust, allowing Meowfurryon to create an undercover persona named Keith. In turn, Lando dressed up as Meowfurryon.

As a result of his trauma, Meowfurryon developed a fear of water bottles. Despite going to therapy, his mental state worsened further. As a coping mechanism, his brain shut out all memory of who had tortured him. A courtcase is scheduled to happen in the future, though Meowfurryon doesn't particularly care about its outcome.
