has experimented with other hair colors, but red was always his favorite because it fades into a good color

jet star helps him bleach his hair and is his best friend

he and kobra had to move to cali to escape bombings and eventually had to abandon their parents because they were drawing too much attention to them with their acts of rebelion

he has kept lizards as pets while out in the desert. no one but him enjoys this.

is dating fun ghoul and is constantly nagging him to take care of his wounds (this ends with party washing his wounds and bandaging them with a all better kiss)

he has always wanted a kid, so the girl showing up was his perfect happy ending

tried self harm once but felt so ashamed he never did it again

he lives off crackers

gets bored easy so he draws on the walls a lot

FUN GHOUL

hes sweet if he likes you but he likes very few people

JET STAR

always has salt packets on him in case someone gets low blood pressure

hes very good at crafting things and sewing, he takes thread he ripped from old/ruined clothing and uses it as thread to repair more put together clothes

THE GIRL

good with reading people, but her judgement leans toward the positives

has a strong kick since she doesnt like the blasters at first

sensitive and deeply emotional but she copes with her feelings by making art with party

she has a habit of sticking gum on things that it should not be placed on

she can scream REALLY loud

she hates lizards because she got bit by one once and it left a nasty scar

shes sweet, but she has a darker side that comes out when shes scared and especially when party is in a manic episode

this means she gets really hostile and stressed out to the point she has a breakdown and runs to jet star for comfort

she fears the obvious signs of mental illness in people because it feels like she doesnt actually know who they are and that theyll hurt her

she gets her hair done by jet star and enjoys having her hair washed and brushed

really likes power pup cans

she has anemia that makes her insanely dizzy all the time so shes clumsy

really crafty and creative

hates 'girly' stuff with a passion

Party Poison

former Exterminator, is a top-tier shot and a great take-charge leader for the group.

FANTASTIC storyteller. Jet likes giving him three random things and challenging him to improv a story about/involving them. He does it wonderfully every time.

awful memory issues stemming from a lot of things (trauma, city meds, brainwashing, etc). WILL forget conversations within days, does a lot of guesswork and gaslighting so no one finds out.

he's so bad with people (grade A+ Asshole) but INCREDIBLE with kids (especially The Girl). real soft, real cute.

Jet Star

desert-born, rebel from birth, never stepped a foot in Batt City, need I say anymore.

crazy photographic memory, but he doesn't really realise it 'till he starts trying to explain how he navigates through the desert and he's like "y'know, that sign at these coordinates in Z4" and the others are like "what sign?? what coordinates??"

the best at reading people out of the Fab4. makes him the best at both escalating and de-escalating arguments and he'll do both it just depends on how he's feeling that day.

one of those people who swears he can tell when it's gonna rain for some random reason. "no guys, my left pinkie toe aches, I SWEAR its about to downpour" (they all say it's bs, he's always somehow right)

Fun Ghoul

desert-born, but he got captured by BLI and spent some time there before breaking out.

he's a great artist. draws all over the diner walls, designs and gives the other Killjoys (and himself) tattoos here and there.

very empathetic, especially when faced with death. will make sure everyone's masks get to the mailbox and that they are remembered (because there was a time where he thought he'd die and no one would care for him).

fully a kleptomaniac. the others try to rationalise it by like "oh he had to steal to survive", but no. he thinks it's fun. it's just for the love of the game. he usually gives important stuff back. usually.

Kobra Kid

former SCARECROW, real good strategist, steady planner. he's the brains and the brawn of the operation, yk.

prankster and resident little brother. usually just at the diner, but he once played a consecutive series of pranks on Dr. Death Defying, including messing with the settings on his mic so it sounded like Darth Vader giving announcements for two days until he was able to fix it.

^^ no one suspected him, Ghoul is the only one who knows.

NOSY. he "overhears" absolutely everything and he WILL remember, there is no getting anything past the Kobra Kid.
