#zone posting

This mf refuses to wash his hair and needs to be restrained for a shower.

He moves in his sleep and does NOT lie still. The others have too many bruises from the constant flinching, Party got punched in the face while sleeping next to him once. The best way to counter this is to sleep on top of him.

Always on some kind of shit solely because he fucking feels like it. Whether that’s weed, battery acid or some other chemical he decided to huff, Ghoul is hardly ever sober.

Really good at making animal noises.

Can’t hear out of his left ear, thanks to his explosives.

Dare him to do something and he will do it. Will even ask the others to dare him to do stupid shit.

Has no regards for his own safety, but doesn’t do it on purpose.

A horrible flirt but makes it look fucking hilarious, which ultimately gets him a date anyways.

Carries sand in his pockets to throw at people.

Does parkour in his free time, thus why he’s constantly injured.

A goblin that likes to collect dead things, bonus points if it’s a lizard.

Scared of spiders and will cry if he sees one too close to him.

Fashioned himself some grills with sharp teeth which he wears during claps to do extra damage. When he bites he does not let go until he rips something to bits.

Got his ass beat by Kobra many times due to his pranks.

Shaved off his eyebrows one time, he doesn’t want to talk about it.

Has tripped into cactuses of various kinds on multiple occasions.

Passes out a’lot due to lack of sleep.

Constantly gropes Poison just to annoy them.

Likes the smell of spray paint and rust.

Due to his skill in making bombs he’s also really good at making fireworks, which he uses to scare the shit out of everyone at random.

Always covered in dust or motor oil.

A bipolar drunk that flips between laughing his ass off and sobbing profusely.

Starts fights constantly but hardly wins any of them.

Good at opening bottles with his teeth.

Horrible dad jokes.

Not allowed anywhere near the car since “the dune incident”.

Always gets lost, no one can take him anywhere without him wandering off.

Screams to get attention.

Likes tight clothing, makes him feel more secure and safe.

Will teach you karate if you bribe him enough, but it takes a’lot of bribing.

Doesn’t really care about gender or pronouns, but likes xe/xer pronouns because they sound cool.

Touch his hair and he’ll bite your hand.

Motorbike stunts for days.

A short fuse but a master at keeping cool. When he’s really pissed tho someone will get their teeth knocked in.

Doesn’t admit it but relies heavily on Party to keep his head above water.

Prefers driving around at night when it’s quieter and less bright.

Loves sweet and spicy food, bonus points if its both.

Becomes aggressive when overwhelmed and scared.

Loves sunrises. He will sometimes stay up all night just so he can watch the sun come up early in the morning.

Party helped make his helmet, they’re to thank for the paint job.

Keeps a little dino keychain in his pocket at all times.

Has horrible tan lines from wearing his sunglasses too long in the sun.

Flappy hands and stompy feet when excited.

Light sensitive, thus the sunglasses. Wears them indoors and at night too.

The most anxious around injuries, he doesn’t like blood.

Snorts when he laughs.

Loves the desert and the freedom that comes with it.

Has a very keen sense of smell and is very good at figuring out where the smell is coming from.

Knows sign language and uses it instead of speaking to communicate sometimes.

Absolutely HATES powerpup but forces himself to eat it if theres nothing else even if it makes him sick. Party tries really hard to look for other kinds of food when going on supply runs so his poor brother can eat.

Chews on the straps of his leather gloves when anxious.

Really likes bubbles.

Sleeps in his jacket for security.

A troublemaker with Ghoul and always finds ways to pull off stupid shit with him.

Likes Michael Bay movies.

Hardly ever cries, but when he does it’s cathartic. The others need to intervene because he chokes up while he’s heaving.

Prefers comics over books, he likes looking at pictures better.

Only the girl is allowed to doodle on his bike, if the others try he will deck them.

Most terrified of being captured by Bli, he doesn’t ever want to go back to the city.

Can play the harmonica really well.

Loves old and broken technology because he thinks its cool and likes to fix things.

Teaches the others to read, especially Jet and Ghoul. Ghoul can read but has dyslexia, Jet never really learned how to read properly at all.

Will try to pet any reptile he sees, even if its venomous or poisonous.

Can sleep sitting up, the others sometimes need to do a double take and check if he’s awake or not since he always wears sunglasses.

Obsessed with VHS tapes and has a collection of them with god knows what on them.

Freezes when panicking, will stay in shock at something until someone needs to move him.

Likes close range combat so he can show off his karate skills.

Instead of cussing in an argument he’ll just look at someone like they’re stupid.

Makes action figures for the girl out of spare parts, responsible for all of her robot toys.

Takes AGES to do his hair, hence why he wants no one to touch it.

If he’s not in his room at night, he’s on the diner roof watching the stars.

When the girl was a toddler, she would call him Kobi instead of Kobra.

Has a wide vocabulary due to being educated in the city, but refuses to use it.

The quickest way to put a smile on Kobra’s face is to give him anything shiny. It has to be VERY shiny.

Party fucking WORSHIPS Britney Spears.

Ghoul is the best at doing graphic eyeliner. He does the girl’s a’lot and they almost always match.

The crew steal each other’s EVERYTHING and it’s near impossible to find anything useful in the diner without asking everybody where it is. Sometimes nobody knows either.

Jet really loves bugs. Especially beetles. When he finds a cool bug he gets so excited he giggles like a little girl and just stares at it until someone has to pull him away.

Ghoul likes to steal Party’s socks simply out of spite just to annoy them. He purposefully only takes one of each pair too. Everyone can hear Party’s constant screaming about “mY mOtHErfUCKinG sOckS” throughout the diner.

Kobra likes collecting bottle caps. He has so many that he could make a suit of armor out of them.

Party has an oral fixation and bites things at random, this could be anything from pencils and collars to Ghoul. They bite Ghoul a’lot.

Ghoul once tried snorting popping candy, nobody wants to talk about what happened afterwards.

Party owns a shit ton of heels and constantly falls into shit and twists their ankles when strutting around, that’s not going to stop them from wearing heels though.

When it’s cold at night and they’re all at the diner, they huddle together and sleep in a pile. Ghoul is always in the middle.

Jet is the best hairstylist and does everyone’s hair if they ask. He can do a’lot of elaborate shit and everybody is fucking astounded with how good he is.

Kobra can breakdance. Nobody knows this except Party, but he can.

At times when Party is sad, he makes little origami paper stars out of any paper he can find. He’s made a shit ton of them. He gives them to Jet because he really likes them.

Jet has an affinity for collecting cool cups and mugs. He thinks they’re neat.

When they’re bored and both at the diner, Kobra and Ghoul like to play hide and seek. Kobra’s really good at it and often falls asleep in his hiding spot, when Ghoul can’t find him he makes a shit ton of noise to get Kobra to show himself because Ghoul knows damn well he feel asleep.

Ghoul and Jet once tried to go sand boarding (basically snowboarding but with the fucking sand), it didn’t end well and they were both washing sand out of their hair for weeks.

Party: The sunset is so pretty up here 🩷

Ghoul: …do you think a fall from this hight would kill me?

Party: …this was supposed to be romantic.

Out of everyone in the gang he’s gotten the most injuries, and has the most scars. These scars vary from burns he got from testing a faulty bomb to slicing his palm open from trying to open a can of power pup with a screw driver. His biggest scar is on the back if his right shoulder extending down his arm from detonating a bomb too close to a car which he couldn’t dodge in time during a fire fight.

He always carries something that belongs to his crew mates on him wherever he goes. He believes they are good luck charms and will keep him out of trouble. He has a lightning bolt keychain from Kobra, a cool rock that Jet gave him, and a piece of Party’s hair he braided into his own.

Ghoul is the most huggable fucker in the zones, he will hug anybody and everybody. Its his way of greeting people and coping with feeling distant, it helps him stay grounded. Physical touch is his love language so simply having some contact with someone will cheer him up. When he’s not sure someone wants to be touched he always asks them before he does so. It also makes him feel like he has a sense of community and that he hasn’t been completely rejected by everyone. If you hug him he will lean into you with everything he’s got.

Ghoul doesn’t mean to be reckless, he just can’t seem to stay grounded and pay attention most times. Due to years of being in survival mode its the only way his brain allows him to process anything. He’s constantly disassociating and this can lead to random bouts of panic and sadness. His sense of danger and consequence isn’t so good either, and his spacial awareness is pretty much fucked too, which makes him a candidate for getting injured a’lot. This also leads him to make dangerous decisions in the moment, which can lead to the people around him getting hurt, and this more than anything makes him feel like a terrible person. To him the worst thing he can do is hurt the people he loves in any way. He just isn’t aware of himself most times, and when he realizes this and what it entails it causes him to shut down. He relies on the others to keep him sane a’lot, because he’s lost the ability to healthily do it himself. The gang have learned to work around this, especially Party. They always make sure to pull Ghoul back to reality however they can in the moment, from a tight hug to simply snapping their fingers. He tries to brush it off a’lot, but needs a’lot of reassurance that he’s not a horrible person.

Ghoul is 90% deaf in his left ear, due to an accident with one of his explosives. Hearing aids are hard to come by in the zones so Kobra managed to fashion him one. He’s become more wary of his surroundings because of this, and always makes sure to double check where a noise is coming from.

Nightmares, he has a’lot of them. He doesn’t like to talk about them either. On nights where he has them he cries in his sleep. If the others don’t notice he doesn’t tell them, but they know when he’s had a bad night from the dark tint under his eyes and how he flinches more than usual. He also breathes heavier throughout the day afterwards and refuses to sleep unless someone is there with him for the night.

If theres one thing that’s undoubtedly true about Ghoul its that he’s sincere. He will always try to help out someway even if he doesn’t really know how to. He does his very best with what he knows and always tries to make things work. His loyalty to his loved ones is unmatched and he will gladly die for them if it mean’t it would keep them safe.

Sometimes when he’s stressed, he takes some of his bombs out into the barrens of the desert and just blows them to shit. Watching the explosions eases some of his tension so it doesn’t boil over into making everyone else feel like shit. He’s mostly quiet about his frustrations but when he feels like its getting too bad blowing things up is one of the only things that makes him feel better that doesn’t put too much stress on his loved ones, ironically enough. The gang don’t really approve of when he does his but they understand him enough so they let him be.

He has this tendency to randomly throw things around. Especially when he’s bored, he’ll definitely be hurling any random object he can get his hands on at walls, ceilings and even the others because why the fuck not. He’s mindful of what he throws at people though because he doesn’t want to kill anyone on accident, which almost happened when he threw a wrench and Jet randomly popped out from behind the garage door. If he does throw shit at anybody it’ll be something annoying like sand or confetti.

Ghoul is very spiritual, or at least an avid worshipper of the Phoenix Witch. He prays to her often, especially before fire fights. He sometimes leaves her offerings at his bedroom door in hopes that she visits, these can range from trinkets and feathers to bones. He also finds that his faith keeps him grounded. He finds it comforting to know that there is something out there watching and maybe even listening to him in the dead of night when he can’t sleep. He visits the mailbox often too, to pay silent respects to the joys that have fallen. He also takes whatever he finds in the desert there if he thinks it belongs to someone, and if its still there the next time he stops by he’ll know they’re still alive.
