Cartoon Network Character Page Description
Edit
On Cartoon Network's character page description of Skips, it states "Skips can't walk or run; he can only get around by skipping. Both wise and strong, Skips can fix just about anything Mordecai and Rigby break."
Personality and TraitsEdit
He seems to have an interesting and mysterious past given his immortality. Everybody relies on him to solve unnatural problems, and he almost always has the answer. There have only been a few occasions where he didn't know what to do, such as in Brain Eraser when, although he knew how to delete Mordecai's memory of Pops's nudity, he didn't know how to exit the video tape, as well as in Skunked, where his best ideas (a shower and coffee) didn't work.
Skips is often quiet and is the least vocal character of the show (other than High-Five Ghost), spending the majority of his spare time working out in the golf cart garage which doubles as his home. Despite his monotone expressions, he can be seen having a good time joking around, such as in This Is My Jam, where he jokes with Mordecai and Rigby that he knew everything, though admits afterwards that he only knew about their plan because he was "on the can" when they were talking about it. Skips has great self-esteem and pride in his knowledge and strength, once going as far as to kill Rigby when he beat Skips at arm wrestling.
He is considerably friendly with the other groundskeepers, and seems to be good friends with Benson; convincing him to take a break in Party Pete due to the stress he was going through. Overall, he's always willing to assist anybody that needs him and his expertise, despite how annoyed with the situation he might be. Skips rarely ever walks or runs, but when he is punched in the face by the bouncer at Carrey O'Key's Karaoke Bar, he runs after his attacker, and throws him into a table, which breaks with the force of Carl/The Bouncer's weight.
RelationshipsEdit
Mordecai Edit
Mordecai has a better relationship with Skips than Rigby does with Skips, and displays friendship and responsibility toward him. Mordecai always looks toward Skips for any help for any matter, with the presumption that Skips can fix anything with his seemingly infinite wisdom. In one instance, Mordecai voluntarily sacrifices the chocolate cake he and Rigby wanted so badly (against Rigby's objection) to save Skips from dying.
Rigby Edit
Skips behaves slightly more negatively toward Rigby, and as a result, less friendly. Skips knows that it's usually Rigby's fault for all sorts of horrible events that occur, but always remains patient enough to fix the problem and teach both of them a lesson. Skips does not approve of Rigby's immature behavior, one time going as far as to kill him.
Added by Mordecaiandtherigbys Benson Edit
Even though Skips is employed by Benson, the two are at least friends, if not good friends. As seen in "Meat Your Maker", Skips chugs soda while Benson and Pops cheer them on. Benson has the utmost respect for Skips, as he is a hard worker and very dependable. Benson left Skips in charge while he took the day off in Party Pete. This dependability, though, did not earn Skips a birthday party, but in all fairness, Skips usually secluded himself to perform his spirit dance.
Pops Edit
Pops and Skips do not interact too much throughout the series. They don't hate each other, appearing in scenes together. Skips is aware of Pops's stupidity, and warns Mordecai and Rigby not teach him words he shouldn't use.
Minor CharactersEdit
Death Edit
Death is one of his eternal lifelong enemies and threatens to tell them about his real name (Walks). He also plays him for Rigby's life and Skips wins therefore Rigby comes back to life.
Talents/HabitsEdit
Strength: Skips is best known among his friends for his superior strength (i.e. punching open a punching bag in Over The Top)
Skipping: Despite originally being named "Walks", Skips always skips, no exceptions
Self-Esteemed: Skips is, almost to a narcissistic point, very self-esteemed, always enjoying being praised by his friends for his tropes. However, when he loses his ultimate title, Skips becomes upset, adopting a single-minded determination for the time being until he is able to prove himself (i.e. Over The Top, Skips Vs. Technology)
Eternal Youth: By being granted eternal youth by The Guardians of Eternal Youth , Skips is able to live indefinitely young (in exchange for performing a spirit dance directed toward said guardians for every birthday he has)

- Skips also seems to have super strength, one example is that he was the only one who put Rigby in the hospital in a game of Punchies; this is likely due to him being a yeti.
