Napoleon Dynamite is a socially awkward 16-year-old mouth breathing nerd from Preston, Idaho, who lives with his grandmother, Carlinda Dynamite, and his older brother, Kipling Ronald "Kip" Dynamite. Kip, 32, is unemployed and boasts of spending hours on Internet chat rooms with his girlfriends and aspiring to be a cage fighter. Napoleon daydreams his way through school, doodling ligers and fantasy creatures, and reluctantly deals with the various bullies who torment him, particularly the obnoxious sports jock Don and the school bully, Randy. Napoleon likes to make up stories about himself and his outlandish "skills" while having a sullen and aloof personality.
