So he was actually a random warm up doodle I did back in 2018, based off of a set of dice colors.
But I loved the design so much I wanted to make a character out of him.
His personality was mostly inspired by “What character type have I not played before?”

Rooster is the most genuine and sweetest character I’ve played. Like not a malicious bone in him, kinda guy. He just wants to help people.

Usually my characters have SOMETHING that makes them a “bad person” that they are conscious of in one shape or form. Which I enjoy, as it serves as a tool for growth.
With Sips is was pretty obvious what his issues were along with Bree and Cooper.

But with Rooster I’ve actually struggled with him being all sunshine and rainbows. I want him to mess up and make mistakes. He does, but not the same way my previous characters have. For Rooster, it feels a bit out my hands as he’s being pulled along more than driving the story. His issue I think will be a lot of external factors and taking control of HIS life instead of purely severing others. Typical people pleaser stuff. A Genie just felt like that would be an issue lol

I want to keep him happy go-lucky but I know he has some lessons to learn.
I’ve taken some inspiration from Luffy/Goku and SpongeBob for his personality lol

I also built his personality on frat boys in college (18-22yr olds) and people who are adrenaline junkies lol He’s just always buzzing and has a hard time focusing. Definitely has ADHD.

For his magic I’ve been taking inspiration from weird eldritch horror/ Tales from the crypt as well. I wanted there to be a bit of un-ease to him. Just slight >:3c

(well that was a rant lol)
