Your Name: Ellie Preferred Contact:summerdive or preferably just PM me on this journal so I get the email notif right away c:
Character Name: Ickis Canon: Aaahh!!! Real Monsters! Brief Personality: Ickis is a nervous wreck. He’s neurotic, frantic, and generally moody. He’s pessimistic and paranoid, but also defensive and easy to rile up. When he’s not wracked by anxiety and insecurity, though, Ickis is a cocky, bratty little show-off. He always has a snide remark and is breaking rules, whether it’s intentional or not. He’s basically driven by fear vs. bravery. He’s lazy, greedy and indulgent, and will do anything to get out of hard work. But when he applies himself, he’s actually pretty talented; his scares are either absolutely terrifying, or complete flops. Despite all this, he’s still generally friendly and fun-loving, softhearted and open-minded. His interests include garbage, scaring humans, sports, music videos, and lava lamps.
Appearance: Ickis is weird, okay? He stands about knee-high on the average person, not much larger than a small dog. He looks like some kind of mutant, gnarly, maroon-colored bunny rabbit? Kinda ugly-cute? He has large floppy ears, big curly feet, gaping yellow eyes, and a wide mouth full of teeth. He’s pretty unassuming, as far as monsters go, if not downright cute. Buuut, he can also grow to terrifying proportions, looming over unsuspecting humans to scare them out of their skin. So there’s that.
His voice is really dynamic and switches pitch pretty dramatically. He has a hoarse, nasally voice, a soft New Jersey accent, but often dips into a deep, smooth bravado for emphasis. He also has a habitual, nasally, nervous laugh. He honestly sounds a little bit like Fran Drescher, if she were a young monster bro with an anxiety disorder.
Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Ickis will be somewhere between the two! He’s not brave enough to head out on expeditions on his own, but he’s prone to adventures anyway, somehow, even if it’s by accident. For now he’ll be setting up his life here, just adjusting to living with humans. He will still be going around town scaring random people by night, though, which is maybe more on the adventure side!
Current Activities/Developments: I’ve recently made a catch-all entry. Ickis has found a job with pest control eating bugs all over the city. It’s pretty great. He’s also found a rundown apartment, and will be collecting weird garbage around town to decorate — broken appliances, old suitcases, milk crates — like literally anything. He may need help with carrying some things home! He’s also struck up a deal with Hizumi eating all the garbage at the Feline Nice Cat Café. A good deal. Beyond that, just up to his usual scaring, sneaking into unsuspecting citizens’ houses at night, just to give them a good spook.
Future Developments: I’m looking forward to Ickis exploring human culture more, living amongst them now; he’s always had an unusual fascination with human things, like music and TV, so it will be fun to kind of probe at cultural differences and monster biases against humans. I’d like to get him involved with some monster hunters at some point too; he’s been terrified about potentially being hunted ever since he learned about the tasks. Of course, feel free to contact me to arrange scares, successful or not. Whether he’s scaring you or you’re scaring him, as long as someone’s being scared, that’s what I’m interested in, lol.
Shipping/Romance: Please no lmao… But on the other hand, Ickis once fell in love with a wooden hand puppet that looked like an angry old woman, and he was totally head over heels. So who knows what kind of weird shit could happen. Oy…
Seeking: Friendship, people to chill with, bicker with, and play around with. Bro seeking other bros. Most important, always looking to scare people, even if they end up scaring him instead. Coward seeking other cowards. If you have an especially scary character who’d have fun tormenting a little monster, that is also probs welcome. Bully him. Offering: Ickis is a great conversation partner if you love to whine and make sarcastic banter. He’s the neurotic nebbish next door, so if you need someone to commiserate with late at night, he’s your monster — misery loves company, right? He’s actually a pretty loyal, supportive friend, though; he cheers people up when they’re blue, and tries to help those in need — as long as it’s no real danger to him, of course. He’s playful and pretty good at sports (just nasty versions played in the sewers, y’know), and even has some experience babysitting (if you’d trust a monster to care for your child, that is, wtf). He can also help you clean by eating all your trash. He can be useful and scary! Not Interested In/Avoiding: I’d like to avoid violence, generally speaking. Ickis’s scares are never harmful, so I’d rather not get him killed or seriously injured by anyone reacting. Roughed up a little is fine, though (Ryuji threw stuff at him, for example). Other than that, sky’s the limit.
Anything Else: add me on plurk lol! let’s be friends! c:
