❱ VISUAL: Zim is the size of an average 10-11 year old human child and will never get any taller. His skin is a violent shade of green and he's lacking a nose and ears, even in his human disguise. He does, however, have a pair of black scythe-shaped antennae on his head that he likely uses to hear, and large ruby-coloured eyes that are more reminiscent of an insect's than a human's. His eyes are very shiny and lack pupils and irises, so it's sometimes tough to tell what he's looking at. Each hand has only two clawlike fingers and one thumb, and three clawlike toes on each foot (one issue of the comic drawn by a guest artist shows a very pointy heel). His arms and legs are thin and noodley and don't look as if they have much muscle at all. His teeth are a light pink colour and connect with each other, so that when his mouth his closed they look reminiscent of an interlocking zipper pattern. His tongue is very long and thin, and segmented like a worm. He's got his mouth open often so you will see that thing a lot. His typical attire consists of Invader-issued clothing: a black-striped reddish pink tunic-shirt-thing with a light pink collar and sleeves, and black pants. In typical Jhonen style he also wears tall black boots and long black gloves (one of which can reveal a self-destruct button if needed). His human disguise consists solely of a black wig styled in an Elvis-esque quiff, and contact lenses that make his eyes appear as if they're normal blue human eyes. He wears several different disguises throughout the series, and for these has no problem dressing up as a woman or wearing make-up. He does seem to favour pinks, purples and blacks in his disguises. Unless otherwise noted his PAK is always attached to his back by unknown means. Specifically, there are no visible straps as it literally plugs into his spine, which means that if it comes off one will be able to see two big vertical holes in his back. His PAK is a round metallic object with three large pink circles that can open up. ❱ AURAL: Zim is voiced by Richard Horvitz, with plenty of examples on youtube. He yells a lot, at completely random intervals, though he is capable of speaking like a normal person. His voice is pretty high-pitched though he randomly goes down into lower octaves for no reason, kind of scratchy and squeaky. His laughter is absolutely, one hundred percent, evil maniac and even his chuckles have a tendency to evolve into long, drawn-out bouts of it. He makes a whole lot of random noises in addition to the yelling and the laughing. ❱ OLFACTORY: ❱ DEMEANOR: |

❱ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Zim absolutely hates physical affection with the fury of a thousand suns. It thoroughly disgusts him. ❱ HUGGING: See above. Unless it's absolutely necessary he will shove the hugger away. He hates physical contact. ❱ FLIRTING: Possibly the one thing he hates more than physical contact! He tried the whole flirting thing with Tak and it was filled with pain and meat and being set on fire that any attempts at flirting will viscerally repulse him. Unless he can use it to his advantage somehow, then he'll grudgingly deal with it, but don't expect him to like it. Ever. ❱ RELATIONSHIPS: Zim does not believe in close personal relationships, or even friendships. There's an entire comic issue based on the premise that his (as an Invader) "best friend" is a little pen-shaped object called a squidgyblit. There are very few instances of Zim liking other people, and he does like someone they likely fall under evil sidekick/minion/slave or Almighty Tallest. Irkens fill the gaping hole in their heart meant for love with STUFF. They genuinely love STUFF. So if you're STUFF he loves you. Or something. ❱ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Given that the Tallest regularly maim and pummel their subjects and no one ever bats an eye... physical violence is the norm for Zim. Even though he's small he won't hesitate to attack someone or fight back, and he enjoys seeing others getting hurt. ❱ KILLING: Zim really REALLY enjoys destroying things. This includes killing things and in general causing a whole lot of suffering. ❱ PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: WOW DON'T DO THIS. Reading his mind is a whole bunch of messed up and would likely result in driving the mindreader crazy - this happens with the Control Brains when they attempt it. Zim's mind is a psychic's worst nightmare. He's rarely in a calm state of mind, with his emotions often being dialed up to 11 and his thoughts being erratic, super-intelligent and baffling all at the same time. That he has an alien mindset based in a literal alien culture of extreme materialism doesn't help things, either. His most prominent feelings tend to be complete rage and disgust, schadenfreude, or paranoia, and these are all generally at an utterly obsessive level. It's brought up in the series that he has problems with his attention span; he often simply stops listening to people or flat out ignoring people, making them repeat themselves. Occasionally he gets abruptly bored with whatever he's doing, including having conversations with others and basic actions like laughing. On top of that are his memory problems, which can vary wildly between being extremely detailed or completely blank. Did I mention the delusions of grandeur? He's delusional, too. Have fun with that. He's aware of these issues but has never taken any steps to correct them. ❱ MAGICAL INFORMATION: Zim is non-magical, one hundred percent alien science. He cannot sense anything magical. It should be noted that spooky science-magic exists in his world, but he doesn't actively use it. ❱ MEDICAL INFORMATION: Being an Irken comes with a whole bunch of weird alien quirks when it comes to his biology. The first major quirk is that his entire body is an artificial shell grown in a test tube and used to tote his cybernetic brain, AKA his PAK. He has fewer internal organs than a human due to his squeedlyspooch, a super-organ that performs most bodily functions. His skeletal structure is similar to a human's, though strangely his teeth are not made of bone. Also unlike humans is his body's incredible resiliency; he bounces back quickly from being severely injured, and can do things like pop a completely detached eye back into his skull with no issue. As an invader Zim's eyes contain ocular implants. During the galactic equinox Irkens undergo a molt, in which their skin/body swells and expands to disgusting proportions for a brief period of time. Irkens are also very sensitive to pollutants and meat, both of which can burn or set them on fire. They have a natural immunity to pests like lice. Due to his PAK Zim's body doesn't require sustenance or sleep, containing a charging cell, atmospheric processor, memory drive and his downloaded personality. His PAK and his body do however work in tandem, and if the two are separated a ten minute life clock will appear in his mind's eye. If this clock reaches zero his physical body dies. His PAK, meanwhile, will kill anything non-Irken it attaches to within that ten minute limit. Zim's PAK is notable in that it's defective, which essentially means his brain is incredibly, fundamentally broken. Go see psychic/psionic information for details. ❱ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: He is super, super sensitive about his height. And not having conquered anything yet. And having a PAK full of errors. Chances are bringing either subject up will cause him to pretend he didn't hear the person or fly into a rant about how superior he is. His major fears involve having his body messed with. While injuries are fine he's terrified of, say, undead creatures like zombies or living creatures like alien-eating germs that could suck his blood out or devour his organs. Being experimented on is another fear related to this. |

| PLAYER↴ Name: Pan Contact: diremuta@plurk, pan#2663@discord Other Characters: None CHARACTER↴ Character Name: ZIM Age: Older than any human. Species: Irken Canon: Invader ZIM Canon Point: Post-show, post-issue 19 of the comics. Character Info: Here! Personality: Zim is what you get when you combine supergenius-level intelligence, loyalty that's lethally intense, and 40 schmillion programming errors. Having been raised in a militaristic empire bent on universal conquest, Zim's biggest priority in life is to be the Ruler of All. And since he's unfortunately far too short to manage that (the Irkens determining status based on height, and Zim being particularly shrimpy), he's out to do the next best thing: be the Best Invader Ever. All Irkens are loyal and militaristically-minded thanks to the programming in their PAK (essentially their robotic brain), but Zim's happens to be unique in that it, unfortunately, wound up with 40 schmillion errors, rendering it (and him) defective. That level of brokenness renders other advanced technological beings (that is, the Control Brains that actually rule Irk) completely insane, so it isn't all that surprising Zim is the way he is. The real problem lies in his inability to recognize these issues - or, at least, completely ignore them as any doubt is drowned out by an unwavering, unending tide of self-confidence. Even when he loses, fails, is blatantly wrong he still thinks he's won. Somehow. At the very least, it's all a minor setback in what will inevitably be his ultimate victory. It'll happen, you'll see. Continuing on this streak of over-the-top personality quirks, his unerring loyalty to the Irken Empire is admirable if it wasn't terrifying thanks to his penchant for destruction. He believes his leaders, the Almighty Tallest, are the best ever and even when he knows better he's more than willing to disregard what little logic and common sense he has to believe whatever lies they're telling him. For example, he knew GIR was garbage right away, but when the Tallest tell him the robot is in fact advanced and not total trash he's quick to believe them. One comic issue also consists of Zim nearly murdering himself over and over again in order to "recharge" a "secret weapon" sent to him by the Tallest. Spoilers, it's a giant cheese doodle Almighty Tallest Purple didn't feel like eating. They're just trying to kill him. The fact that his loyalty extends so far when it REALLY OBVIOUSLY isn't returned is kind of sad, really. Also? Creepy. He happily admits to the Tallest that he stalks them, and spends an entire episode nearly murdering them by bringing their flagship to Earth because of course they'll want to swing by to watch him take it over! Nevermind the fact that they gave him the "mission" in the first place to get him out of their hair. Minor detail. He's got some good points to him, though. He's intelligent on a whole other level of Irken intelligence, being able to hack technology like the Irken flagship the Massive, reverse-engineered advanced wormhole technology with his garbage of a base, and created an adorable creature that also happened to infinitely absorb energy. That last one also ate the two previous Almighty Tallests, further showcasing how anything Zim touches is a danger to not only his enemies, but his allies and himself. His ego and already-mentioned ballooning self-confidence prevents any real reflection on his part; he's continuously charging through life, ignoring everyone around him in order to fulfill the Tallest's fake orders and be the best invader he can be. Unsurprisingly, this means his narcissism and megalomania are through the roof. The guy not only wants to be a good invader and Irken, but he really, really loves conquering stuff. All other alien species are inherently inferior to Irkens and himself (especially humans, despite his fear that he'll be discovered and experimented on), and are only useful in pushing the Irken Empire towards universal conquest. Or, you know, horrible experiments (see: happiness probe, replacing a police officer's brain with that of a squid's and then letting him return to the ocean and get eaten by a shark). On top of all these personality flaws is the fact that while Zim likes to think big, he isn't above holding petty grudges. Something as simple as bullying from literal human children results in him stewing, plotting, planning, and enacting a hugely blown out of proportion revenge scheme. Of course, said revenge schemes tend to be so huge because he doesn't think things through, and it's plainly obvious that he doesn't have much in the way of common sense. His patience, additionally, can vary wildly. On the one hand he's totally fine with hiding in his toiler-elevator for years to enact yet another hugely elaborate evil plan against his nemesis Dib (another literal human child), yet often doesn't let others finish speaking or flat out refuses to listen to them. His paranoia can swing just as wildly. He yells a lot. All in all, Zim is a militaristic space racist wrapped in an exploding layer of unpredictable horror, topped off with delusions of grandeur. Oh, and he's a big germophobe. It's adorable. Abilities: •Ocular implants: Standard issue for invaders. Enhances his eyesight. •Irken physiology: makes him very resilient (and immune to lice!). Past injuries include: his torso and legs being shredded, his spine being broken, an eye popping out of his head, the sun burning his eyes to a crisp, being set on fire in general, and getting beaten up a lot. The downsides of being Irken, however, mean that most human foods and polluted water can burn him and in serious cases, set him on fire. Irkens also don't seem to be particularly athletic, having to rely on technology rather than their own strength and agility. •PAK: Standard issue for all Irkens, which contains all his ZIMness, specifically: his charging cell, memory drive, atmospheric processor, spiderlegs that can be used as lasers or a shield, robotic arms, binocular+night visions helmet, an audio-video communication device, a space helmet-bubble, a jetpack, and an organ harvester. This functions as both a brain and life support (as Tallest Purple puts it, "They hold the collective memories of all the IRKENS before us. Our personalities, our power, our high scores, all in HERE."), containing the collective knowledge of the Irken Empire. Detachment will kill Zim in 10 minutes; if it attaches to a non-Irken it will kill them in 10 minutes. Attempts at downloading the information in his PAK apparently hurts, and will cause whatever is doing the downloading to go just as crazy as he is. It can zap him back from unconsciousness if his body's brain gets knocked out. •Intelligence: He's really, really smart, even by Irken standards. Guy can make advanced technology out of garbage. CARNIVAL↴ Soul Colour: Pinkish-red. Official hex code is #E3256B, and it's called razzmatazz. Ideal Jobs: Repairman, Lighting/SFX tech. Relevant Experience: Zim is, even by Irken standards, an utter genius when it comes to technology. He's built a number of crazy ass science-y things through the course of the show and comic, including a time stasis field, a robotic santa suit made up of millions of tiny nano-drives that absorbs data on Christmas, an infinite energy absorbing creature, a gigantic water balloon-making space station, and manipulating Dib's DNA to turn him into literal bologna. He's hacked into the Tallest's flagship the Massive on several occasions, which can't be easy to accomplish, and he's used his technological prowess along with some quick thinking to take out his enemies: on Hobo-13 he reprograms his gauntlets to steal energy from everyone else, using that to complete his military evaluation, and in Plague of Babies he uses his base's power amplifier to amplify GIR's stupidity and destroy the intelligence of the babies. He also does work on things like his ship the Voot Cruiser, which is insinuated should not even be able to fly due to being made out of garbage and farts. He turns GIR into a hyper-competent robot in one episode despite the robot's brain literally being made out of garbage. One thing worth mentioning is despite Zim's genius all of his experiments have a tendency to get out of hand, go horribly wrong, and usually explode or turn into hideous monsters. Generally this isn't deliberate on his part. Reason for Joining: Working off the debt after breaking shit (a carnival game and lasering holes in one of the tents). SAMPLES↴ Samples from the TDM! |
