Geddy is Kimberly Bond's Popplio, and the fifth Pokemon she acquired on her journey, as well as the last of the "original five" to be captured (the others being Paul (Kim's Butterfree), Sinatra, Dio, and Kaylan).

Personality

Geddy is just as kindhearted and modest as his namesake- if not even more so. He has a love for the band RUSH and all of its members, but not to the point of obsession, and he is always there to help another Pokemon in need. Most notably, he is adept at comforting other Pokemon through panic attacks, most notably the easily panicked Freddie. Thus far, Geddy has comforted Freddie through panic attacks twice, and generally serves as Freddie's main form of comfort that is not named Elton. Unlike Paul and Kaylan, who will use their moves when necessary and won't hesitate to knock opponents out, Geddy is a full-on pacifist, preferring to sing "Rivendell" by Rush to soothe opponents to sleep. Despite his relatively soft and kind demeanor, however, Geddy still has the exact same power when singing that his namesake does. His version of Growl is a full-on metal scream, and he can hit the high note at the end of Cygnus X-1 without strain- though of course, he won't admit that. Geddy can also be a rather emotional Pokemon, especially with regard to the members of Rush or when he hears about a horrible tragedy-- the death of Neil Peart brought him to full on-tears and-- as Orwell put it-- "profspeak", which shocked every member of Kim's team.

Kim's personality file on him reads as follows:

"NEW POKEMON: GEDDY THE POPPLIO. EVEN THOUGH I'VE ONLY BEEN WITH HIM FOR A SHORT TIME I CAN ALREADY GET A SENSE OF HIS PERSONALITY. HE IS EVERY BIT AS SWEET, HUMBLE AND MODEST AS HIS NAMESAKE, AND IS PROBABLY EVEN MORE SYMPATHETIC THAN KAYLAN IS. RIGHT NOW AS I AM WRITING THIS HE IS CALMING DOWN AND TALKING TO THE SOBBLE AND SCORBUNNY. HE ALSO LOVES [RUSH] AND [DREAM THEATRE], WHO HE CALLS "METAL RUSH". I AM NOW SITTING HERE WONDERING WHAT HE WOULD THINK OF [NEIL PEART] DYING. RIP [NEIL PEART] 1957-2020. (...) GEDDY IS PROBABLY THE SWEETEST POPPLIO I HAVE EVER MET. HE IS CURRENTLY SINGING "RIVENDELL" TO FREDDIE. AKA THE SOFTEST SONG RUSH HAS EVER RECORDED. I AM ABOUT TO START CRYING."

Trivia

  • Geddy was named after Geddy Lee, lead singer and bassist of Rush, due to his modest and kindhearted personality; though word of god says the main reason was because Kimberly Bond (and by extension, Goldenheart388) believe that Geddy Lee's Pokemon equivalent would be a male Primarina (due to the gender ratio of Primarina being mostly male- in the 1970's when Rush first came out it was a bit hard to tell if Geddy Lee was a male or female, and people were often shocked to find out that he was in fact a dude).
  • Although Geddy has not become human yet, his human name, according to Goldenheart388, will be Dirk Weinreb-- "Dirk" being a common fan nickname for Geddy Lee; and "Weinreb" coming from Lee's full name, Geddy Lee Weinreb.
  • Geddy's chat handle is DirkSeal21.
  • According to Goldenheart388, Geddy's character theme is "Entre Nous" by Rush, his Broadway character theme is "No One Is Alone" from Into the Woods, and his headcanon voice, upon his evolution into a Primarina, will be Geddy Lee himself- Geddy's headcanon voice as a Popplio and Brionne have yet to be revealed.
