"I'm artsy. I assume ladies love it, but that's not why I do what I do. The pen is mightier than the sword, but it's not the pen that works the magic - it's the guy who's holding it."

- Bucky explaining his passion Bucky Roosevelt Rhodes is a high school boy (16 years old) residing in Gravity Falls, Oregon. His parents are secret service agents missing in action, so he lives in the care of his Aunt Mary and Uncle Jim. He works as a freelance sketch artist for police departments, cheifly the GFPD.

Early Life
Growing up, Bucky was relatively by his lonesome. Because his parents worked for an undercover government organization and were off "saving the world", he had always half-heartedly assured himself that they had a good reason not to be around. It was then that Bucky decided he too would try to make the world a better place to live in. On Bucky's sixteenth birthday, he was mailed a present supposedly from his parents: a green hoodie.

Growing up in Gravity Falls
Aunt Mary and Uncle Jim have a large mine underneath their house dubbed "Rocky Rhode". In response to someone sliding out the only yellow brick, their fireplace converts into an elevator mineshaft that descends into the middle of a colliery abundant with numerous known and unknown ores. Bucky uses the materials and resources found in the mine to craft and create new inventions. In order to do his share of work and clean up the streets of this town, Bucky works as an illustrator for different police departments - the most typical being the GFPD.

Personality and traits
 Bucky lives and breathes art. He is notorious for his (at times annoyingly overzealous) ability to see the beauty in almost everything. He can be prone to mood swings; and he gets nervous around girls, something which he constantly laments over. Bucky also has a large appetite, making it easy to win him over with food - including his trust, friendship, and services. However, his knowledge isn't limited to art alone, as Bucky is well-versed in the world of handcrafting and regularly builds tools to help himself progress in his line of duty. Bucky is a bit of a workhorse; constantly pulling all-nighters to finish personal and profressional projects, so he doesn't tend to get out much as a result.

 His greatest aspiration is living up to his parents' legacy, but his biggest mission is finding out what happened to them. Bucky has a strong sense of justice and will never sit back when there is evil afoot. However, deep down Bucky struggles with abandonment issues due to his parents failing to be around enough and sometimes feels like he'll never truly measure up to either of them in terms of greatness.

Physical appearance
Bucky is of African-American descent. He has dark skin, bushy dark brown hair, and dark brown eyes. He wears an apple green hoodie that has a hidden retractable green dust mask for disguise. He sports a pair of black jeans and black high tops with purple laces. He has a skinny but lean build and stands at 5'11.

Abilities and skills

 * Picasso-level artistry: Developing impeccable drawing skills during early childhood, Bucky went on to become a graphic genius.
 * Mechanical genius: Bucky is a sort of MacGuyver type. In his hands, anything can be useful. He actively utulizes his skills in metallurgy, designing, technology, and mining.
 * Pickpocketing: Bucky is proficient in sleight of hand and can take objects belonging to others without them realizing it.

Posessions
Jumper: A green hooded sweater sent to Bucky on his sixteenth birthday, but in actuality is an advanced piece of military gear. It is made from a custom super-weave that is durable to heat and cold. It has cloaking tech, can inflate on command, alter it's appearance, conceal weapons etc. His mother wore one just like it, but red. The jumper comes with an array of defensive and offensive settings. Currently unlocked are:
 * B-pad: A specialized tablet computer that acts as a canvas.
 * B-pen: A machine-tracing stylus that can adapt any color. Bucky uses it in accordance with his B-pad to efficiently and swiftly sketch suspects while on the move.
 * B-contacts: Technologically advanced contact lenses that can transmit live photographic feed to any computer in Gravity Falls.
 * Mood ring: Modeled after the biology of a chameleon, this mode enables the jumper to change color corresponding to the wearer's emotions. Vital for stealth, but Bucky's mood swings make it hard to control.
 * Beanstalk: This form makes the jumper inflate. It's typically used to cushion precarious falls or alternatively, soften blows from enemy forces. It was modeled after the biology of a pufferfish.

Bucky's parents
"I have to constantly live with the fact that my parents could be dead in a ditch somewhere."

- Bucky grieving over his parents unknown whereabouts

Bucky's parents work for a semi-secret organization known as Foxie Waters. They love their son, but their job requires them to go off the grid and protect people from otherwordly threats. Both Thaddeus and Serena were highly respected agents during their run and were the only remaining members of the Vintage Program, until they went missing. Affiliates of this elite group used special gear disguised as ordinary objects to keep the classical tradition of their founding fathers alive. Odie used an umbrella that could block gunfire and provide flight, while Serena wore a multifaceted red hoodie nicknamed a "jumper".
