Way out west there was this fella I wanna tell ya about. Goes by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least that was the handle his loving parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. See, this Lebowski, he called himself "The Dude". Now, "Dude" - there's a name no man would self-apply where I come from. But then there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place so darned interestin'. See, they call Los Angeles the "City Of Angels"; but I didn't find it to be that, exactly. But I'll allow it as there are some nice folks there. 'Course I ain't never been to London, and I ain't never seen France. And I ain't never seen no queen in her damned undies, so the feller says. But I'll tell you what - after seeing Los Angeles, and this here story I'm about to unfold, well, I guess I seen somethin' every bit as stupefyin' as you'd seen in any of them other places. And in English, too. So I can die with a smile on my face, without feelin' like the good Lord gypped me. Now this here story I'm about to unfold took place in the early '90s - just about the time of our conflict with Sad'm and the I-raqis. I only mention it because sometimes there's a man... I won't say a hero, 'cause, what's a hero? Sometimes, there's a man. And I'm talkin' about the Dude here - the Dude from Los Angeles. Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's the Dude. The Dude, from Los Angeles. And even if he's a lazy man - and the Dude was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in all of Los Angeles County, which would place him high in the runnin' for laziest worldwide. Sometimes there's a man, sometimes, there's a man. Well, I lost my train of thought here. But... aw, hell. I've done introduced it enough.



Let me explain something to you; I am not Mr. Lebowski. You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

Name: Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski
Canon: The Big Lebowski
Appears: after the events of the movie
Appearance: A mellow stoner dude with sandy unkempt hair, mustache and beard. Frequently wears sunglasses and a brown sweater with jelly sandals.


Description: A mellow stoner from Los Angeles, Dude wanted little more than to spend his time bowling and smoking the good stuff. He was in a league with his best friends Walter and Donny, and they were all set to roll their way into the finals when a strange thing happened. A Chinaman broke into Dude's apartment and very rudely urinated upon Dude's rug. It was a real tragedy for Dude, primarily because that rug really tied the room together. It turned out that the home invasion was really looking for the OTHER Jeff Lebowski, the rich and famous one. A madcap adventure full of nihilists and pornographers ensued - one that led to the tragic death of Donny durring a parking lot brawl. Dude and Walter try not to let it get them down, though. Donny had a good life, and his ashes were returned to the sea he loved to surf on. Dude can be found much the same as always - bowling, enjoying a White Russian or two, and hanging out. After all, the Dude abides.



Personality:
Dude is very mellow, almost to the point of apathy. The only things he really gets passionate about are bowling, his friends, and music (Loves Creedence, hates the Eagles). He's pretty much a pacifist who tries to avoid confrontation whenever possible. Dude likes to have a simple life, as free of complcation as can be. His favorite drink is the white russian; he appreciates a good joint, but doesn't do any harder drugs. He tends to use a lot of profanity when he talks, but in a very casual way ( "Far out, man. Far fucking out.") His style of dress is very casual and tailored to his comfort - robes, t-shirts, sweatpants, and jelly sandals. Dude is very loyal to his friends, and has compassion for others.
