Buzz McCallister

Buzz McCallister is a main character and second to the protagonist of the series. He is the son of Buzzwind McCallister Senior and best friend to Woody Peterson, the protagonist. Buzz lived a tough life but after many years of shyness and anxiety became one of the toughest characters in the show, following his late father's footsteps and becoming a Star Command ranger commander, eventually earning him his father's nickname, "Lightyear". In more recent times however, Buzz has suffered, and since losing his wife Rose Stewart to a deadly fall, has himself fallen into darkness. The only family he has left, besides from his sisters and the Petersons, is his son, Buzzy.

Only he can save Buzz from eternal doom.

Early Years
The circumstances of Buzz's birth were kept highly confidential due to what appeared to be a major breaking of Star Command ranger protocol were Buzz's father, Buzz Senior left the war on Cytus briefly to witness his wife, Melissa McCallister give birth at home in Hopkins, Minnesota in the later 1980s. Born a healthy weight of 42 pounds, Buzz was taken home early from hospital after waking the other babies on his first night for wanting more milk and "special McCallister steak juice".

Immediately on entering the family home, Buzz was ambushed by his 3 year old, older brother Buzzwart, who attacked him and called him a mistake child.

The first few years were easy going, as despite the incident at the hospital, Buzz was a quiet child, a shy one, soft and gentle. Buzz had issues however connecting with his father, who lead a very strict military lifestyle built on respect and discipline. He also was never home, fighting wars in far away worlds and only returning on special circumstance. Somehow despite all of this, Buzz and his siblings managed to stay close, with Buzz only ever minorly disagreeing with his older brother, and playing dollies with his sisters, Jessie and Kelly.

After some important events when Buzz was still very young, the family moved to Toy Story, to be closer to a new family friend and work colleague of Buzz's dad. It was there that they hired a maid for their much larger home, a woman named Claudia from Mexico.

Tragedy
When Buzz was only around 10, he lost his mother, an event that would turn his family upside down. It was from here on that life in the McCallister household changed for good. Everything changed, everyone. Buzzwart became very distant and cold hearted, his usual hot headed temper got worse and Buzz would constantly run into fights with his brother, mostly in the form of bullying from the elder. Senior was grounded, staying at home for the first time in years, until he returned to work and hired a Nanny for the kids. Senior loved Toy Story, but didn't really trust its people, believing them to be freakier than the average freak, "some of which should buy a mirror". Most of the McCallister's help were therefore hired from Newtown, across the river.

Getting on with life
For the years that followed, Buzz grew evermore distant and excluded, becoming a homebody and outcast to the wider world. On the tale end of his Graduate year at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance, Buzz took his 84 year old piano teacher to the dance, after refusing a supermodel paid by his father. While Buzz worked at the local McDonalds food restaurant, Buzzwart went on to college, studying for masters degrees at two different colleges and becoming a high scoring graduate of the Star Command ranger academy, specialising in medical science and biological engineering and robotics. Buzz's certificate? a "good going kid!" award for flipping hamburgers, given to him by his manager Iron Ron McDonald. Buzz enjoyed the Friday nights of every second weekend, as that was when their dad would return home from Cytus for Karaoke night.
