IC:
Character name: ZIM
Fandom: Invader ZIM
Timeline: Some time after the series end. I dunno maybe from the unfinished episodes. THAT'S ALLOWED RIGHT?
Age: APPARENTLY the creator has said he's like 159 or something in like Earth years. So we'll go with that.
~*Magical*~ abilities and strengths: Despite his COMPLETE ineptitude and idiocy, Zim is somehow brilliant enough to create all manner of horrible weapons or machines. He built a "space-time object transfer device" at one point and it totally worked (even if he kind of ruined the time stream by tossing rubber piggies into it). The fact that he can create all this crazy AMAZING shit is offset by the fact that he's a complete and total moron, and thus said creations are often underutilized. He's capable of piloting different space craft, from his Voot Cruiser to space taxis, but most of the time he's pretty horrible at it. Zim is also equipped with a standard issue Irken PAK, which houses a set of mechanical spider legs, lasers, communicators, and whatever else he feels like storing inside of it. The PAK also acts as a sort of life support system and is pretty much his brain. Irkens have developed such a dependance on their PAKS that being forcefully separated from it for ten minutes results in HORRIBLE DEATH. Or maybe even not forcefully, it's never officially stated from what I've been able to find. Either way, dead after ten minutes of PAKlessness.
And yes I realize that I filed HORRIBLE DEATH under "abilities and strengths", you wanna fight about it?
How would they use their abilities?: Are you kidding he's going to tryand fail to take over the Thor. BOW BEFORE ZIM, FILTHY THORIAN SCUM.
Appearance: Zim is tiny. VERY tiny, even by Irken standards. He has green skin and buggy red eyes, with two black antennae on his grotesque head that seem to act like ears. His goofy little uniform consists of a pinkish red shirty dress thing with black gloves/books/pants. On his back is the aforementioned PAK. It's a small oval shaped metal thing attached to his spine, with three little pink circles on it that open when he needs to pull shit out of his PAK. Occasionally Zim will go out in his human disguise, which just consists of a black wig and contact lenses to make his eyes look all humany. He still has green skin and his dumbass uniform though, BUT HEY nobody on Earth but Dib and his sister realize he's an alien so who cares.
Background/Personality:HEY. A good portion of the FOLLOWING HISTORY is taken from unfinished episodes. Nickelodeon apparently hates money and canceled the series before it was finished, and some of those episodes just so HAPPEN to have covered a lot of back story. WHATEVER IT'S STILL CANON.
It all started when Zim was hatched from his incubator as a smeet. The fuck is a smeet, you ask? Why, it's a baby irken! The fuck is an IRKEN? Well sit your selves down and prepare your eyes for some AMAZING KNOWLEDGE as I slap your asses with some HORRIBLE KEY TERMS that may or may not be grammatically pleasing to read.
IRKEN: These are horrible, buggy looking green aliens, the race Zim belongs to. Irkens hail from the planet Irk. They are best known for trying to conquer the entire universe with their AMAZING ARMADA and re-purposing planets to fit their own needs (such as fast food planets, parking structure planets, military training planets, etc). Irkens tend to be militaristic no matter what tasks they're assigned, be it fast food, janitorial service, invading planets for conquest, etc. Irkens don't fuck around.
Irken physiology is kind of stupid. In place of a BUNCH OF ORGANS, they have one SUPER ORGAN. This one organ is called a squeedlyspooch. It's neat. As stated above, Irkens have evolved to rely on their PAKs as a means of life support. It promotes rapid healing and makes irkens more durable in general, the obvious flaw being the fact that they'll DIE without the PAKs. Zim's own PAK is actually a piece of shit, as it contains 40 shmillion coding mistakes, making Zim a "Defective", and is basically the reason for his insane behavior and ridiculous thought processes.
It's stated that irkens don't require sleep, likely due to the PAK, but they are capable of it I guess if they FEEL LIKE SLEEPING. Also most Earth food appears to make them violently ill (with the rare exception such as WAFFLES) Maybe they're dextro-amino based who knows. No ACTUAL science went into creating their race. ALSO Zim is allergic to water, but according to the creator it's not JUST the water that burns the fuck out of him, but all the horrible Earth pollutants in it.
While they do have males and females, Irkens don't reproduce through conventional means. For whatever reason they've taken to growing their young (known as smeets) in idk SMEET FACTORIES? Upon "birth", a smeet has a PAK drilled into it's spine, which more or less activates the smeet. It is then plugged in to a computer which fills the smeet with ALL IRKEN KNOWLEDGE, and the smeet is given a name. It then reports for duty pretty much immediately.
The Irken hierarchy system is based on height, with their leaders being the tallest current living Irkens, and are thus called the Almighty Tallest. There are currently two of those guys running shit. The Tallest report only to the Control Brains, which are brains. That control everything. The Tallest (cleverly named Red and Purple because hey lets name them after THEIR EYE COLORS) are responsible for orchestrating invasions and overseeing the armada in general. They also absolutely despise Zim, and sent him to Earth to get him out of the way. In fact pretty much the entire race hates Zim. Everything hates Zim. I hate Zim.
DEFECTIVE: Zim. More specifically, an Irken Defective is someone who has been fitted with a faulty PAK. In Zim's case, it makes him a blithering idiot who still manages to be the most dangerous Irken in the entire Armada. But pretty much ONLY to other Irkens. Hence the banishment to Earth thing. A Defective can't be controlled or brainwashed by the Control Brains and are usually destroyed when discovered. Their PAK data is deleted so it can't contaminate all the NOT fucked up data, and so it can't be reused on a new smeet.
GIR: GIR Is Zim's useless robot slave. When an invader is assigned a planet to conquer, they are given a SIR unit (SIR standing for Standard Issue Information Retrieval) to assist them. GIR was constructed by the Tallest on the spot when they didn't feel like giving Zim an actually GOOD SIR unit. GIR consists of trashed SIR parts, his "brain" consists of lint, a paperclip, two coins, a screw and a gumball. When asked by Zim what the 'G' stands for, GIR admits that he doesn't know. Zim, believing the Tallest's story that GIR is actually an advanced special SIR model, takes the robot to Earth. GIR then proceeds to be completely and utterly useless; breaking out into song at random, making waffles, rolling in filth, shrieking, watching TV, befriending pigs, destroying equipment, all kinds of horrible shit.
He is, however, capable of brief flashes of clarity, known as "duty mode", in which he actually comprehends things and follows orders. GIR being locked in this duty mode for extended periods is actually not a good thing for Zim. At all. The one time Zim succeeded in repairing GIR resulted in GIR realizing that Zim is a complete fuck up and danger to his own mission, and thus tried to destroy his Irken master. For Zim's own safety, he has no choice but to keep the robot in blithering idiot mode.
Though often enraged with GIR, Zim has been shown to actually not hate the little bastard, commenting at one point on how he was concerned for GIR's safety when the alien was trapped inside a nightmare world inside of Dib's enormous head (it makes sense just don't question it).
DIB: The enormous headed Dib is a kid in Zim's skool class (school is spelled skool in this dumbass show SO WHATEVER), and also happens to be a paranormal investigator that knows Zim is an alien. He could actually be considered the main protagonist since Zim is pretty much the bad guy of the series. But whatever.
From Zim's first day in Skool, Dib has sworn that he's going to stop Zim's plans for world conquest and reveal his secret to the world, but he has yet to get anyone to take him seriously on the matter. Despite everyone thinking he's completely insane, he has managed to stop Zim's evil plans, and even plant bugs in Zim's base to monitor his HORRIBLE PROGRESS. Because of this, Zim sees him as a rival and often tries to get rid of him. He fails every time, of course, but it's a hobby. In a canceled episode it would have been revealed that Dib's meddling plays a major role in Zim's motivation. Dib would have decided to give up pursuing Zim, which caused Zim to stop giving a fuck about taking the planet over.
Dib has a younger, video game obsessed, terrifying demon sister named Gaz that also knows that Zim is an alien, but she doesn't give a fuck.
OPERATION IMPENDING DOOM: The cleverly named plan for complete Irken galactic conquest, devised by the Almighty Tallest and/or the control brains. BECAUSE WHY NOT? Before the first Operation Impending Doom even officially began, Zim went on a rampage in a giant, horrible robot battle mech on the Irken home world, believing he was already on an alien planet for some stupid reason. He managed to kill all of the other invaders and almost managed to wipe out the entire Irken race in the process. Needless to say, Operation Impending Doom I was abandoned for a time. Outraged by Zim's ZIMNESS, The Tallest had Zim's PAK re-encoded from Invader Class to Food Service Drone, and the Tallest banished him to the planet Foodcourtia, where he was to spend the remainder of his life serving in a fast food restaurant.
While on Foodcourtia, Zim eventually heard about Opperation Impending Doom II, and "quit" being banished. He escaped Foodcourtia and made it back in time for the Great Assigning, a ceremony where Invaders are assigned a planet to conquer. The Tallest assigned him to an unknown planet (DA ERF) in an effort to get rid of him, placing as far away from the actual Operation Impending Doom II as possible. Zim, being a moron, believed them and off he went.
END KEYWORDS
Zim's entire life is a hideous montage of death and destruction. From the very day he was "born" he's caused black outs, explosions, horrible deaths, and all around chaos for the Irken Empire. He caused two devastating black outs on the Irken home-world while still a smeet, is directly responsible for the deaths of two previous Almighty Tallests (he created an infinite energy absorbing monster that turned into a space Cthulhu aaand it ate them ANYWAY), and managed to destroy every other Invader during Operation Impending Doom I. In an effort to be rid of the horrible ZIM, he was banished to a fast food planet, which he later "quit" after hearing about Operation Impending Doom II. Simply wishing to be rid of Zim once and for all, the Tallest sent him on a "secret mission" to a previously unheard of planet, which just so happened to be Earth. Zim set up a base on Earth, disguised himself as a human, and decided to infiltrate human society by attending a local elementary school. It was here he met his rival DIB, who managed to foil pretty much all of Zim's world domination plans one way or another from that point on.
While clearly still plotting to take over the world, Zim has actually saved it on more occasions than he's doomed it, usually with the reasoning that it's his planet to destroy and nobody gets to destroy it but HIM. He's saved it from being thrown into a sun, hollowed out and filled with snacks, from a giant hamster, all sorts of shit. When he does come up with amazing plans for world conquest, they're either stopped by Dib, ruined by GIR, or brought to a grinding halt by his own stupidity and inattention. Despite his shortcomings (of which there are many), Zim remains convinced that he is AMAZING and unstoppable, and goes to great lengths to please the Tallest, completely unaware that they just want him to explode somewhere and never bother them again.
To quote the wiki, Zim possesses "megalomaniacal, sadistic, emotionally unstable, sociopathic, paranoid, and narcissistic personality traits". Zim thinks he's pretty much the best invader ever, even though everything he touches turns to shit (or explodes). He's run horrible tests on humans and other creatures with no regard to their safety or well being, becomes enraged at the drop of a hat, is often in a screaming panic and insists everyone is lying to him at one point or another. He refuses to see anything horrible about himself, instead focusing on how amazing he is and how awesome the explosions he causes are. Despite all this, he is actually quite brilliant given the fact that he originally WAS an actual Invader before being re-encoded as a Food Service Drone. Maybe he just tests well, or maybe it's just because he's really good at destroying things (with the exception of Earth, of course). He probably would be a successful Invader if he didn't become hyper-focused on little things that don't really matter, such as attending "Skool" regularly or running insane tests on chickens. Dib has also proven to be an enormous distraction from Zim's over all mission. On more than one occasion, Zim has made horrible, elaborate plans just to destroy his large headed nemesis. Zim has failed every time of course, but he's incredibly persistent. He's been shown to have a tiny sliver of a soft side, but it was only in relation to a memory he had about being hatched from his "incubation capsule" by a robot arm as a smeet. His first words were "I love you, cold, unfeeling robot arm". The arm didn't care. He also has a bit of a soft spot for GIR. He promised to give the robot the moon once he took over Earth. D'awwww.

1st person sample:
[VIDEO]
[GREETINGS, filthy Thor-smellies, upon your guides right NOW is the amazing face of ZIM. The amazingly annoyed, furious face of ZIM. Duct taped to one of his antennae is a bablefish. What else was the bablefish distributor supposed to do, Zim doesn't have ears. Anyway. He squints his horrible red bug eyes into the guide for a second before tossing a handful of horrible vogon paperwork over his shoulder.]
Citizens of the...eh. Turtle-cruiser!! It has come to my attention that the planet I was previously occupying has been destroyed through unknown means. If any of you filth-sacks knows how the Earth was destroyed, tell me IMMEDIATELY! TELL ZIIIIIM!! The Earth was mine to destroy! MINE!! As soon as I find who is responsible for this... this OUTRAGE, you will know a pain unlike any other pain you have ever... known! Eh... BEFORE! I AM ZIIIIM!!
[Before Zim has a chance to rant any longer, a vogon pops into the picture with a stack of paperwork and proceeds to shove it at the MIGHTY IRKEN. Zim does not approve, and shoves the stack back into the vogon.]
GET THOSE OUT OF MY FACE, paperwork drone! ZIM already finished filling all of that garbage out!
You drew bees on them!
YOU DARE QUESTION THE BEES!?
[The vogon ignores Zim's insane outburst and shoves the paperwork into his arms, looking about ready to snap the little green asshole in half] Fill these out properly, or security's throwing you out the airlock! [Two huge, beefy aliens enter the frame behind the vogon and flex menacingly as the vogon holds a pen out to Zim. Zim twitches and snarls at the security guards before dramatically snatching the pen from the vogon's hand.]
FINE! Enjoy your victory now filthy paperwork drone, but know that you have invoked the relentless wrath of ZIM!
[Zim's "relentless wrath" consists of Zim snatching his still recording guide up and hurling it at the vogon's face, causing the guide to switch off. Needless to say, he's in for an off screen pummeling in the new arrival's office. Feel free to laugh and point at his self inflicted misfortune in person]
3rd person sample:
It had started the same way that any other filthy day on the filthy planet Earth started. Zim had been conducting a series of difficult and ultimately pointless tests on meaningless Earth substances in the 'kitchen', such as testing oatmeal and the effects it had on his delicate, superior Irken guts. His miserable, stupid assistant robot GIR was causing a needless ruckus in the 'living room' area, carrying on about whatever pointless human program it was filling it's head with. It was just like any other pointless day, and it was horrible.
Until Zim suddenly found himself in a very large, very alien place, practically in the blink of an eye. When he realized he was without his disguise in this very crowded area, he nearly panicked, but after a quick look around he realized that it wasn't just disgusting humans surrounding him. There were all kinds of hideous alien freaks here. It only took him a few seconds to gather his wits, but by the time he'd regained his superior composure, there was a very large creature standing over him, practically dropping a mountain of paperwork right on top of the tiny (YET OH SO MIGHTY) Irken Invader. He was quickly ushered over to a desk of some sort, sputtering "hey you, hey wait a minute, hey what's going on, I AM ZIIIIM, AND I WILL NOT TOLERATE BEING TREATED THIS WAY BY SOME FILTHY STINKING MUTANT!!" among other things on his way over. It said some things that were probably important, but Zim was far too busy trying to yell over the strange thing that he didn't quite catch much that it said, something about "your planet" and "destroyed" and "sorry for the trouble here's a pen, I need you to sign here and here" and-
Wait.
"The Earth? DESTROYED!? But that was my job!"
There was something very wrong here. The Tallest would hear of this outrage!- As soon as Zim finished filling out this mountain of paper work.
Questions?: I'm totally B& for this, aren't I.
Did you put your characters name and fandom in the subject: yeah sure whatever

Character name: ZIM

Timeline: Some time after the series end. I dunno maybe from the unfinished episodes. THAT'S ALLOWED RIGHT?
Age: APPARENTLY the creator has said he's like 159 or something in like Earth years. So we'll go with that.
~*Magical*~ abilities and strengths: Despite his COMPLETE ineptitude and idiocy, Zim is somehow brilliant enough to create all manner of horrible weapons or machines. He built a "space-time object transfer device" at one point and it totally worked (even if he kind of ruined the time stream by tossing rubber piggies into it).

Zim is also equipped with a standard issue Irken PAK, which houses a set of mechanical spider legs, lasers, communicators, and whatever else he feels like storing inside of it. The PAK also acts as a sort of life support system and is pretty much his brain. Irkens have developed such a dependance on their PAKS that being forcefully separated from it for ten minutes results in HORRIBLE DEATH. Or maybe even not forcefully, it's never officially stated from what I've been able to find. Either way, dead after ten minutes of PAKlessness.
And yes I realize that I filed HORRIBLE DEATH under "abilities and strengths", you wanna fight about it?
How would they use their abilities?: Are you kidding he's going to try
Appearance: Zim is tiny. VERY tiny, even by Irken standards. He has green skin and buggy red eyes, with two black antennae on his grotesque head that seem to act like ears. His goofy little uniform consists of a pinkish red shirty dress thing with black gloves/books/pants. On his back is the aforementioned PAK. It's a small oval shaped metal thing attached to his spine, with three little pink circles on it that open when he needs to pull shit out of his PAK. Occasionally Zim will go out in his human disguise, which just consists of a black wig and contact lenses to make his eyes look all humany. He still has green skin and his dumbass uniform though, BUT HEY nobody on Earth but Dib and his sister realize he's an alien so who cares.
Background/Personality:HEY. A good portion of the FOLLOWING HISTORY is taken from unfinished episodes. Nickelodeon apparently hates money and canceled the series before it was finished, and some of those episodes just so HAPPEN to have covered a lot of back story. WHATEVER IT'S STILL CANON.

Dib has a younger, video game obsessed, terrifying demon sister named Gaz that also knows that Zim is an alien, but she doesn't give a fuck.
OPERATION IMPENDING DOOM: The cleverly named plan for complete Irken galactic conquest, devised by the Almighty Tallest and/or the control brains. BECAUSE WHY NOT?

END KEYWORDS
Zim's entire life is a hideous montage of death and destruction. From the very day he was "born" he's caused black outs, explosions, horrible deaths, and all around chaos for the Irken Empire. He caused two devastating black outs on the Irken home-world while still a smeet, is directly responsible for the deaths of two previous Almighty Tallests (he created an infinite energy absorbing monster that turned into a space Cthulhu aaand it ate them ANYWAY), and managed to destroy every other Invader during Operation Impending Doom I. In an effort to be rid of the horrible ZIM, he was banished to a fast food planet, which he later "quit" after hearing about Operation Impending Doom II. Simply wishing to be rid of Zim once and for all, the Tallest sent him on a "secret mission" to a previously unheard of planet, which just so happened to be Earth. Zim set up a base on Earth, disguised himself as a human, and decided to infiltrate human society by attending a local elementary school. It was here he met his rival DIB, who managed to foil pretty much all of Zim's world domination plans one way or another from that point on.
While clearly still plotting to take over the world, Zim has actually saved it on more occasions than he's doomed it, usually with the reasoning that it's his planet to destroy and nobody gets to destroy it but HIM. He's saved it from being thrown into a sun, hollowed out and filled with snacks, from a giant hamster, all sorts of shit. When he does come up with amazing plans for world conquest, they're either stopped by Dib, ruined by GIR, or brought to a grinding halt by his own stupidity and inattention. Despite his shortcomings (of which there are many), Zim remains convinced that he is AMAZING and unstoppable, and goes to great lengths to please the Tallest, completely unaware that they just want him to explode somewhere and never bother them again.
To quote the wiki, Zim possesses "megalomaniacal, sadistic, emotionally unstable, sociopathic, paranoid, and narcissistic personality traits". Zim thinks he's pretty much the best invader ever, even though everything he touches turns to shit (or explodes). He's run horrible tests on humans and other creatures with no regard to their safety or well being, becomes enraged at the drop of a hat, is often in a screaming panic and insists everyone is lying to him at one point or another. He refuses to see anything horrible about himself, instead focusing on how amazing he is and how awesome the explosions he causes are. Despite all this, he is actually quite brilliant given the fact that he originally WAS an actual Invader before being re-encoded as a Food Service Drone. Maybe he just tests well, or maybe it's just because he's really good at destroying things (with the exception of Earth, of course). He probably would be a successful Invader if he didn't become hyper-focused on little things that don't really matter, such as attending "Skool" regularly or running insane tests on chickens. Dib has also proven to be an enormous distraction from Zim's over all mission. On more than one occasion, Zim has made horrible, elaborate plans just to destroy his large headed nemesis. Zim has failed every time of course, but he's incredibly persistent. He's been shown to have a tiny sliver of a soft side, but it was only in relation to a memory he had about being hatched from his "incubation capsule" by a robot arm as a smeet. His first words were "I love you, cold, unfeeling robot arm". The arm didn't care. He also has a bit of a soft spot for GIR. He promised to give the robot the moon once he took over Earth. D'awwww.

1st person sample:
[VIDEO]
[GREETINGS, filthy Thor-smellies, upon your guides right NOW is the amazing face of ZIM. The amazingly annoyed, furious face of ZIM. Duct taped to one of his antennae is a bablefish. What else was the bablefish distributor supposed to do, Zim doesn't have ears. Anyway. He squints his horrible red bug eyes into the guide for a second before tossing a handful of horrible vogon paperwork over his shoulder.]
Citizens of the...eh. Turtle-cruiser!! It has come to my attention that the planet I was previously occupying has been destroyed through unknown means. If any of you filth-sacks knows how the Earth was destroyed, tell me IMMEDIATELY! TELL ZIIIIIM!! The Earth was mine to destroy! MINE!! As soon as I find who is responsible for this... this OUTRAGE, you will know a pain unlike any other pain you have ever... known! Eh... BEFORE! I AM ZIIIIM!!
[Before Zim has a chance to rant any longer, a vogon pops into the picture with a stack of paperwork and proceeds to shove it at the MIGHTY IRKEN. Zim does not approve, and shoves the stack back into the vogon.]
GET THOSE OUT OF MY FACE, paperwork drone! ZIM already finished filling all of that garbage out!
You drew bees on them!
YOU DARE QUESTION THE BEES!?
[The vogon ignores Zim's insane outburst and shoves the paperwork into his arms, looking about ready to snap the little green asshole in half] Fill these out properly, or security's throwing you out the airlock! [Two huge, beefy aliens enter the frame behind the vogon and flex menacingly as the vogon holds a pen out to Zim. Zim twitches and snarls at the security guards before dramatically snatching the pen from the vogon's hand.]
FINE! Enjoy your victory now filthy paperwork drone, but know that you have invoked the relentless wrath of ZIM!
[Zim's "relentless wrath" consists of Zim snatching his still recording guide up and hurling it at the vogon's face, causing the guide to switch off. Needless to say, he's in for an off screen pummeling in the new arrival's office. Feel free to laugh and point at his self inflicted misfortune in person]
3rd person sample:
It had started the same way that any other filthy day on the filthy planet Earth started. Zim had been conducting a series of difficult and ultimately pointless tests on meaningless Earth substances in the 'kitchen', such as testing oatmeal and the effects it had on his delicate, superior Irken guts. His miserable, stupid assistant robot GIR was causing a needless ruckus in the 'living room' area, carrying on about whatever pointless human program it was filling it's head with. It was just like any other pointless day, and it was horrible.
Until Zim suddenly found himself in a very large, very alien place, practically in the blink of an eye. When he realized he was without his disguise in this very crowded area, he nearly panicked, but after a quick look around he realized that it wasn't just disgusting humans surrounding him. There were all kinds of hideous alien freaks here. It only took him a few seconds to gather his wits, but by the time he'd regained his superior composure, there was a very large creature standing over him, practically dropping a mountain of paperwork right on top of the tiny (YET OH SO MIGHTY) Irken Invader. He was quickly ushered over to a desk of some sort, sputtering "hey you, hey wait a minute, hey what's going on, I AM ZIIIIM, AND I WILL NOT TOLERATE BEING TREATED THIS WAY BY SOME FILTHY STINKING MUTANT!!" among other things on his way over. It said some things that were probably important, but Zim was far too busy trying to yell over the strange thing that he didn't quite catch much that it said, something about "your planet" and "destroyed" and "sorry for the trouble here's a pen, I need you to sign here and here" and-
Wait.
"The Earth? DESTROYED!? But that was my job!"
There was something very wrong here. The Tallest would hear of this outrage!- As soon as Zim finished filling out this mountain of paper work.
Questions?: I'm totally B& for this, aren't I.
Did you put your characters name and fandom in the subject: yeah sure whatever
