I'm bored, don't feel like coloring anything, been there done that yada yada.
Anyways.... So I was thinking for like the past five minuets (chocolate pudding will do that to you lol) if you could pick any State (he has an American accent so I'm not being biased or anything, and of course this is based off of the original series that is in American English not dubbed by other county's actors) what state or area would you Buzz would have originated from?
Now I know all this stuff about the Planet Morph and Capital Planet yada yada what is this girl talking about... but in my universe Buzz came from Earth, and it was never actually stated in the series so I have nothing against me ^_^.
Anyways to me I would say maybe from somewhere in the Midwest, or a northern state. He doesn't seem to talk southern English or have a deep southern accent. Sounds pretty nutral to me. Now I know for the cartoon the voice actor is from New Jersy but this is not about who voiced him, this is about the character itself.
Errr ahhh I'm going to bed now before I hurt myself lol! ;D

Aaah, what's this, a post? It's a frigging miracle!
Anyway, I think Buzz probably would be from the Northeast if he was from Earth. Personally I think he was probably from Capital Planet, but eh, that's just my opinion . . .

Aaah, what's this, a post? It's a frigging miracle! Yeah because you know most of us have lives to lead and school to attend to. Life isn't all computers and message boards. |

Oh boy, kinda tough. But I'd have to take the minority vote and say he's from the Midwest, if he was from Earth. ^_^ He just seems like a Midwesterner. He fit in with the cowboy action on the ep "Lone Wolf" surprisingly well and he knows how to use a lasso like any expert cowboy. But that's just my opinion. ^_^

I'm gonna agree with Ty and Linn here also, somewhere in the midwest (has nothing to do with my residence either lol). Because like TY said in Lone Wolf he did show supurb skills in rideing and ropeing in the fashion of the western riders instead of English saddle riding. He even broke Little Joe like a Bronco. And yeah they didn't choose an actor with a deep southern accent or a deep New York or that sort of accent either.

I never thought about that whole "Lone Wolf" ep with the rodeo like quality, but you're both absolutely right! ^_^

Good question!
I write him being a native of Capital City, really; a city boy. Not the classical "down-in-the-dumps-bad-neighborhood" city boy, but someone who came from a good neighborhood, who lived in the pace of the city, and who usually sleeps on his couch with the telly on because having lived in the city, he's so used to having background noise he can't sleep without it in the suburbs.
From 'Unspoken': "He threw the keys onto the coffee table, and managed to get his thoughts in order long enough to go and change out of his uniform and into a t-shirt and shorts. He turned the television on, flipped it to the sports channel and dropped onto his couch. He wasn't watching, but he needed the noise; he couldn't sleep without background noise, a holdover from the days when he still lived in the midst of the city."
One Hundred Days goes waaaay into Buzz's background, but it's still on the editor's chopping block and probably will be for far longer'n I want it to be.
As for a city that would compare, I'd have to say Pittsburgh or maybe the Bronx. Maybe a combination of the two. There was one spot in Oakland, a part of Pittsburgh, that I was really drawn to while I was writing Buzz -- the narrow alleys, the city right there; a good neighborhood where families still lived, kids played stickball in the alleys, the apartments were old but well-kept and still had hardwood trim. It seemed very much like the kind of place he would have come from.
Lone Wolf's a decent ep for character insight; as for roping and riding, though, one doesn't have to live on a farm to learn those things, and Buzz is nothing if not a quick study -- I'll stick with the city interp.
