Name: GIR
Why you want him:
Gir is and always has been my favorite character. I would love to have him for my own. His design is just fabulous!! Gir's personality is like that of my little dog, whom I love dearly. I would love to have a charrie like my Yoda. And there's just something about him..........it makes you love him, and want to shelter him. I have a good feeling about Gir, and I like to have characters that I get a good feeling about from the start. I also have very little male characters (one to be exact) and would like to raise that number. He will be a wonderful father for when I breed him.
What you will do with him:
I will love him, make him my charrie , RP him, and put him in the running for one of my fursonas!! I will most likely just make him my charries, but he will definitely be my main one. I would like to breed him a minimum of three times, as he has just a wonderful coat that is compatible wih most other females.
Personality:
GIR's personality is essentially much like that of a dog or little brother. His main interests are playing with pigs, sleeping, dancing, watching TV (in particular, the Scary Monkey Show), eating, drinking slushies, aimlessly rolling on the floor, making waffles, and spending time with Zim. He cooks occasionally, making foods including mashed potatoes and waffles. His favorite food is tacos. He usually cooks only for himself, as Zim finds human food to be repulsive.
However, in the episode Zim Eats Waffles, Zim was attempting to develop an immunity to human food, and he was shown eating the waffles GIR made seemingly endlessly throughout the episode (although GIR used ingredients not typically found in human food such as peanuts and soap). GIR eats solely for pleasure, as he is a robot and likely doesn't need food. He gets along well with others, and his best friend (other than Zim) is a pig, who sometimes "visits" with GIR at Zim's house. Surprisingly, GIR seems to know much more about Earth culture and how to adapt to it, as seen on various occasions.
Jhonen Vasquez mentions in the Invader Zim DVD commentary that much of GIR's personality is simply attributed to the fact that he is a largely hedonistic character. Regardless of what Zim and others want of him, he will probably do anything that makes him happy no matter how crazy it is. Vasquez and the cast of the show have expressed that they dislike how some people consider GIR "cute", using the scene from Bestest Friend (GIR walks up to where Keef has been thrown out, and looks like he's going to comfort him, but instead just takes and eats his bacon) as an example.
Curiously, GIR is not utterly selfish and devoid of conscience, as he does do what Zim wants of him from time to time and often expresses his love for his master inays that may make sense only to himself, like the random hugging sessions in Germs and Rise of the Zitboy.
Likes:
Sleeping, dancing, watching TV (mostly The Scary/Angry Monkey Show) and eating. He cooks on occasion making mashed potatoes, muffins, waffles, biscuits, and birthday cakes. Other likes include human pop culture, including movies, dancing, etc., and Gaz, as seen in some episodes throughout the series. He also likes tacos, as well as burritos and taquitos. He also loves rubber piggies.
Dislikes:
Losing certain objects can also cause him sadness, as seen in Walk of Doom when he starts to cry after eating his cupcake.
Biography:
GIR is one of themain characters from the animated television series Invader Zim. He is Zim's robot sidekick, a "modified" S.I.R. (Standard-issue Information Retrieval) unit, who occasionally dresses like a dog to disguise the fact that he's an alien robot. GIR is voiced by Rosearik Rikki Simons.
GIR is Zim's moronic, unfocused robot slave, easily influenced and impossible to fully control. He is incapable of focusing attention on important things for long periods of time and often speaks in non sequitur, making him almost completely useless, or even disastrous. He is very kind and sweet to humans and Zim. Occasionally he reverts to normal SIR behavior, during which time his cyan components (sometimes only his eyes) become red and voice becomes deeper, but these periods are normally short-lived. As a robot, GIR technically has no gender, but he is usually referred to as being male, mostly by Zim. Zim (While under the Santa Suit's control) called GIR "little fellow", suggesting GIR is, indeed, male. GIR's normal disguise is a shoddy green dog suit with a visible zipper down the front, though he occasionally forgets to wear it in front of humans. He is infatuated with Gaz, the sister of Zim's enemy, Dib (further proving he is male). There are a couple times were he tries to destroy Dib and Gaz. He also doesn't mind getting involved with typical Earth culture.
