Zim

Bought for 850g though I had no idea why he was so much (I DO NOW). Irken colours are hard to come by and this show was a part of my childhood. From CountingChocobos. His familiar is GIR. I planned a permababy but I didn't know he had stones until I saw the Coli stats. It's perfect for the 'tiny invader who has potential but doesn't do anything' concept so I'm keeping it lmao. Also the only one with his colours and genes (1/2 normally).

HOMEWORLD: Irk ASSIGNMENT: To conquer/destroy Earth RANK: Invader (formerly by the Irken Empire; now self-appointed) Food Service Drone Defective GENDER: Male EYE COLOUR: Ruby WEAPONS: PAK lasers EQUIPMENT: Voot Cruiser, PAK, GIR AFFILIATIONS: Irken Empire FIRST APPEARANCE: 'The Nightmare Begins' VOICE ACTOR(S): Richard Steven Horvitz, Billy West (Original Pilot) PERSONALITY: While most Irkens are expected to be ruthlessly loyal to the Empire, Zim is considered overzealous even by their standards: Brash, arrogant and overconfident, Zim's tendency to cause wanton destruction makes him a danger to himself and his own people, yet he still considers himself a mighty Irken warrior. In addition, he is acutely narcissistic and megalomaniacal, congratulating himself on even the smallest of successes; these, however, are few and far between. Despite his self-proclaimed greatness, Zim rarely succeeds in his attempts, and is held up as a complete laughingstock by his own people - a fact that he is either oblivious to or simply chooses not to notice. Zim is cluelessly loyal and obedient to the Tallest, the Irken Empire, his planet and his people, and is willing to go to ridiculous lengths to please his leaders. However, his self-absorbed nature prevents him from acknowledging any of his failures, and he chooses only to speak about the better things that came from each incident. Despite his frequent displays of stupidity, it is clear that Zim is highly intelligent in some respects - being a keen manipulator of tools and devices - but has absolutely no apparent interest in thinking things through, and wastes much of his time fretting about or dealing with unimportant "threats." Moreover, it is evident that he is more than capable of conquering the Earth, yet he hardly ever uses this capability properly, and has often been very close to taking over the planet, only to be thwarted by his own negligence.

Zim usually shows little to no affection, often claiming to "need no one", but he occasionally lets a softer side of him slip by accident. In "Parent Teacher Night", when Zim thought back to when he was born, he remembered the first thing he ever said was that he loved the "cold, unfeeling robot arm" that "hatched" him from his incubation capsule and activated his PAK. Strangely, it would seem that Zim also relies on the presence of his mortal enemy, Dib, for motivation. He said in "A Room with a Moose" that his mission might not be as "exciting" without Dib around to "annoy him", but also seems to dwell on the big-headed human quite a bit, sometimes more so than his actual mission. This importance was particularly highlighted in "Mopiness of Doom": When Dib briefly decided to give up his pursuit of Zim, the Irken lost all motivation to take over Earth, or do anything in general.
