Description
An Invader ZIM character that I am developing for an upcoming fiction.There is more to this character than what I am revealing currently, but here is a brief summary.
[BIO]
"Sid" (short for "Sidney" but, I'm sticking with the three letter name theme here) is one of the few people to get on Gaz's good side,
after he gave her an exta copy of a hot new videgame that she wanted (he pre-ordered One, but got TWO instead.)
After this, Gaz took notice of his existence, and invited him to her gaming sessions.
(afterwhich he proved worthy to accompany her to her favorite pizza restaurant.)
Sid can be a rather timid, and mellow boy. taking constant harassment and heckling
over his mother being a brain dead vegetable in stride, and never showing anger.
(a fact Gaz wishes he would stop doing, as she tires of always defending him so much.)
However..Sid has a deadly secret. There is a reason he is so mellow.
as he takes prescription medication to calm his nerves (and, ease the headaches that he gets from stress.)
as whenever he doesn't..all his bottled up stress and anxiety breaks loose.
Resulting is a very aggressive (yet, Silent) person that makes even Gaz seem more "gentle".
In fact, it is almost as if Sid becomes a "different person",
as after these periods of violence, Sid retains no memory of what he did prior.
Like Gaz and Dib, Sid is aware that Zim is an alien
(and, like Gaz, doesn't really care as he knows Zim is a danger only to himself.)
Sid also shares Gaz's annoyance at Dib's "obsessive hero complex",
(about as much as Zim's own arrogance and superiority.)
Sid also hates it when people call him "Jackie Boy" (though, WHY everything finds that so funny is beyond him.)

Okay creepiness that fits the Invader Zim universe, check.
The style, check.
Seems good for this character.
I do have a word of warning tho.
Mental illness such as bipolar disorder can be difficult to write in fiction, so research carefully.
What one person may act like can be different for other people.
Sometimes research can not always be enough so you may need to find out how bipolar people can act like.
The same goes for writing a character who takes medication.
I haven’t watched Invader Zim in my childhood at all, but I can tell this character has potential.
(Due to the hype people make over this show, I may as well check it out, but I’m not gonna obsess over it like others.)

Fortunately, I doubt I have to be very "realistic" when it comes to anything Invader ZIM,
given the series is as loose with content, as it is with it's own continuity.
(You would be amazed at the stuff the series got away with at the time.
In fact, it's a miracle the show was even greenlit to begin with, given Jhonen Vasquez prior works.
..even HE was stunned when Nickelodeon hired him.)
BUT, just in case, I am basing much of the 'bipolar disorder'
on how Batman: The Animated Series tackled it when they introduced Two-Face.
(Which DVD audio commentaries revealed that they consulted actual psychiatrists
so to make Harvey Dent's struggled with his dark side more believable.)
In any case, I have a greater reasoning for Sid's mental instability.
I can't reveal what it is yet, but when I do..everything will make alot more sense.

that's a first. Usually people look at the image, yet skip over the description..
I did try to make this OC unique, not not a rehash of characters I have done before.
(hence the punk-ish hairstyle, and coloring it in a way that was a parallel to Gaz.)
This is one reason why I went with a bipolar personality,
and stating that he take medication to regulate his mood.
It's something that feels just right for the Invader ZIM universe
(and, not the type of thing I usually do with fan characters.)

That one of the reasons why I like Sid he seems different form other characters you made and he fit well in Zim's universe.

Not really.
But, I can see that connection.

Bummer, so just a weird lack of medication induced split personality?

I'm keeping certain story details to myself for now.
For the moment, Yes. It really is a simple case of Gaz having a bipolar friend
who can be begging Gaz not to beat up her brother one minute..
..only to threw Dib threw a window the very next for talking too much.
