Reuben

Reuben • striped skunk • he/him • late 40s • average height, sturdy build

Some kind of business man. Married to Addie and has 2 biological kids with her. Basil is technically his step-son.

Rich-ish, likes it that way. Def has a house with a pool and hot tub. Has a lot of fancy watches, and is kinda into cars, but like not in a very hands on way. A bit of a germaphobe, doesn't like getting dirty. Really loves and cares about his family a lot. Drinks loves his wife and children juice every day. Can be a bit snobbish, and is fairly shy in reality. Kinda shut off to people he doesn't know well, but more open around friends and especially family.

Basil's mother Addie married Reuben when Basil was like 17 or 18 and Basil honestly thinks Reuben is kinda cringe. Reuben is by no means a bad person and Basil doesn't view him that way either, he just... really doesn't vibe with him. He and Reuben have a distant and awkward relationship, and Basil is fine with that. While Reuben is technically his step-father, he never refers to him as such. Basil feels like being a father is something you earn, and he already has two great dads in Clay and Vernon. Basil does occasionally visit this side of his family, and he sometimes brings Biche for support, which is how Reuben and her know each other.
