ice crew and drago headcanons
Lots of text. My native language is Ukrainian, I apologize for the clumsy text :')
Warning: This is a somewhat dark and disturbing portrayal of the characters.
Age ranges from 16 to 19 years. Drago 20-21.
"Well, you creepy, aggressive, unsocialized bastard… Welcome to the family, D!!" © Ice.
He knows the sign language of the deaf and dumb and often pretends to be such in order to avoid unwanted communication.
The most phlegmatic and balanced guy, most of the time staying on his own wave. They joke about him that if you look closely, you can even see a halo above his head. But if you piss him off very much, you need to run away very quickly, because maybe someone's legs will be broken now. Once, the Fist smashed the hood of a car, throwing a guy against it. And then he tried to catch up with him to apologize for being too rude. That was the first time Ice saw someone running so fast with a broken leg.
He bursts into anger instantly, but calms down just as quickly. There is a lot of suppressed aggression in it, which, if it explodes, will hook everyone who is nearby.
Jay is a quiet person, reserved, with a high emotional sensitivity. Basically, he is quite timid and shy. Jay aromantic. He is a Christian, so on the wrist of one hand he has chains with several small crosses wound around him. His family was very religious. He is Spanish and jokingly calls Drago "diablo" (devil).
He dislikes noisy crowds and sudden touches. It takes a long time to get used to someone new and relax enough in their presence. Therefore, he avoided Drago for a long time, maintaining a distance and not talking to him. Drago was, in principle, more than satisfied.
When their company wanders around the city, Jay always walks a little behind, feeling calm when he sees everyone and no one is behind him. When he first turned around to check where Drago had gone when he fell behind, it was a sign that Jay had accepted Drago.
He suffers from mutism, due to which he can only talk with a very limited number of people who are really close to him and whom he trusts. But against the background of stress, again, it can lose the ability to speak. He mainly communicates through gestures, especially after Drago appeared in their company.
Cobra and Ice understand him well even without words. If Drago is nearby, Jay speaks in whispers or gestures.
He likes heavy rock music - it calms him down.
Jay is left-handed. As a child, he was forced to learn to use his right hand. As a teenager, he has both hands equally.
He is an independent person who does not get upset because of the lack of a partner. As a child, Jay faced coldness and rejection from guardian adults too early, because of which there is no need for attention and care - he stopped waiting for it. The need for intimacy leads to frustration, so it's easier to do without it. Instead, he prefers soulless, cold machines. The technology is silent. He especially loves motorcycles. He has one that he and Cobra have been trying to fix for a long time. He named the motorcycle Ginger, and for the first time he lost his temper and cursed loudly when Drago broke it.
He is a very strong introvert with social phobic tendencies and a high level of anxiety.
Perhaps Kobra is the only one to whom he allows himself to be touched and fought in a playful way, and even then not always. He is thoughtful and organized. While the rest will argue, he will go and silently do it. He seems very cold and uninterested in what is happening around him, but he is a very gentle person, this cannot be confused with weakness.
He is the only one in the company who feels physical discomfort from the presence of Drago, due to the fact that that demon and in general treats Drago with suspicion and anxiety. Ice suspects that because the Fist is simply adequate. And also because Drago destroys his religious ideas.
He was against the presence of Drago in the company, considering him dangerous and (fuck, you both idiots? what is THAT ?!) but suffered in silence, trying to make sure that the situation did not get out of control.
At school, he played American football professionally, because his family wanted and insisted that. This rough and contact sport put him under a lot of social pressure. He was expected to be in a certain role and was a very promising player. He himself hated it and once deliberately broke his leg so that he would be left alone for at least a while. Now he sometimes limps when he is tired or nervous. At such moments, a group of friends slows down to wait for him. Usually Cobra notices it first.
Relatively good, against the background of other examples, relations with his mother, but they do not communicate now. Draws well. Street artist. He also depicts in his notebook the details for working with technology and those people who he likes. After a while, when he got used to Drago (and Drago himself became a little more adequate and socialized), he also drew him. His jacket is also painted with emoticons, symbols and other nonsense.
Jay was the one who emotionally broke down and punched Drago in the face when he insulted his mother. Drago was then poorly versed in what topics it is better not to touch on and joked evilly, trying to imitate the general topic of conversation.
(Ice: Sit down, fucking, both of you! We don't kill each other, damn, just one rule. ONE, and you're even failing here!)
He covers the lower part of his face with a bandana up to his eyes: this way he feels calmer and more confident. Safer. He also uses gloves to minimize touching people. Before he had a bandana, he experienced difficulty and stiffness when communicating with people, trying to cope with emotions. During one of the general parties (when their trio was not yet fully formed), Cobra noticed that the Fist was uncomfortable. Some guys briefly mentioned in a conversation that Jay was some kind of "frostbitten" and hearing this, he tensed even more. After that, Cobra immediately got up, disappeared somewhere for a short time, took the bandana from an unknown person and handed it to Jay. That helped.
He has a peculiarity during certain stressful situations to "disconnect" from what is happening around him, as if nothing is happening. You can even dismember someone before his eyes at such moments, he will not notice. This creates its own problems, because at the moments when Cobra can have another suicidal incident, Ice has to deal with it himself. However, Fist can provide emotional support on a lighter and more unobtrusive level, and in the very first situation where Cobra had a minor nervous breakdown, he showed Ice how to support a person. In the future, he tries not to do this, being very exhausted from such situations.

In childhood and adolescence, his emotions and desires were devalued.
The environment inspired him that everything he experienced was wrong, as a result of which he felt a ban on emotions. So Jay protected himself with emotional coldness and covered his face with a cloth. Feels vulnerable without her. The family was very demanding of him, so he used to be perfect. While in the company, he is mostly silent and enjoys this pastime. Jay is a good listener, and according to Ice, one of the most interesting people he has ever met. Of course, when he wants to talk.
He is a shrewd and extremely calculating shitass. He is cunning, cruel and can get out of any shit without any problems. He adapts easily. He is good at manipulating people and finding a common language with everyone, which is why he is so easy to keep with Drago on an equal footing. He makes fun of Drago, waiting for a response and shamelessly grinning. He speaks calmly, touches without fear. And he always very subtly felt the necessary dangerous edge, before which he had to slow down and back away without causing a wave of rage.
Drago is more tolerant of him than the others because Ice doesn't try to please him. On the contrary, he behaved like an uncompromising asshole. To be completely honest, Ice even impressed him, as far as it is generally possible in relation to people. Therefore, Drago treated most of the annoying things in his performance by an order of magnitude more indulgent. Yes, and his cigarettes stank differently, less caustic than Cobra's.
Ice also never played staring with him. Drago was sure, understood their deep meaning. Therefore, he consciously avoided the conflict. Because I wouldn't look away.
So many familiar qualities Drago felt in him.
He is indifferent to people, except for a few. To the inner social circle, he developed a semblance of emotional attachment. To the rest of the world, people whom he does not consider his own - absolute ruthlessness.
Pyromaniac. He carries a lighter with him everywhere and loves to watch the fire. He is fascinated by Drago's ability to control fire. Like Drago, Aisa laughs at violence and their sense of humor is quite similar.
Ice's parents were lawyers. He had a fairly wealthy and respected family, which Ice voluntarily abandoned in favor of life on the street, wandering aimlessly around the world. They demanded a lot from him, completely controlling his life, regardless of his opinion, interests and desires. In this he is similar to Drago, and on this basis they felt solidarity with each other.
Ice has a younger sister. Their parents did not leave them alone when, at the age of four, Ice began to frighten them with his behavior and lack of the necessary reactions, at that time he had not yet had time to learn the rules of social interaction. Ice is skeptical about this as he would never hurt his sister because…why would he do that? It doesn't make any sense.
As a child, Ice wanted a pet snake. Accidentally killed a house cat. Then he was presented with a hamster, in the hope of accustoming him to responsibility and care for a living creature. When he died of natural hamster death, the parents discreetly replaced him with a similar live hamster, not knowing that the son was already aware of Peanut's death.
Surprised that the hamster suddenly "came to life", trying to understand the phenomenon of life and death, Ice killed the next Mr. Peanuts until they found out about it. In principle, he is glad that this was noticed before his experiments would have moved to larger objects - the neighbor's kids.
After his parents watched the movie "The Good Son" they finally had a tantrum. From an early age, Ice often visited psychiatrists who were not the most competent and quickly learned to deceive them. With the same success, sometimes he managed to pretend to take preparation when his parents noticed oddities in his behavior and tried to cure him in this way. Because of this, Ice developed an allergy. Once he was in a psychiatric hospital and even visited church several times. For Ice, these establishments seem the same.
His parents wanted him to continue the family tradition and also become lawyers.
It was boring for him. The only plus: he knows the laws well. Instantly puts on the right "mask" at the sight of the cops.
When Ice realized that he was tired of pretending, he began to rebel and eventually left the house to hang out on the streets. Periodically, he appears at very rare family gatherings, as this is part of his contract with his parents. They failed to cope with him, because there were absolutely no levers of pressure on Ice. And to some extent, his stubborn father still believes that they are punishing him like that and that Ice "will walk a little and do nonsense, understand that it's terrible and the world is terrible, and repentantly return home on his own" But Ice is cool and he is absolutely everything satisfied.
He had chickenpox - there were scars on his face.
He laughs when he is called a maniac and stereotypes about psychopaths in general.
Ice is a very loyal and reliable friend if he thinks you are worthy of his attention. He has cognitive empathy, his own code of conduct. He has a peculiar concept of love and he can go a much more complicated and long way with you than a typical person.
Unless he is upset if you suddenly die. If you are loyal to him, that loyalty will be mutual. He's invested in this relationship and he'll kill anyone who threatens you. Literally. He doesn't have to wear masks in front of his friends, and he appreciates that. He protects those who care about him, those whom he qualifies as: 'mine'.
Gay. He said this during a family dinner at Christmas to annoy conservative parents and relatives, and then it turned out that he was not joking. Ice found out that he was actually gay during one of his fights with his cousin and a specific body reaction during it. Then they broke his nose, because he thought from surprise and was distracted, but he does not regret it.
Usually Cobra jokingly calls him a slut. Ice often changes partners, essentially having fun with short flings. He likes older guys and "plays normal" by pretending to be someone else he isn't. Then he uses his real name, not a nickname. In general, Ice and Cobra call each other a lot and frankly in friendly skirmishes, which in turn confuses Drago. Drago generally does not understand well when people actually swear, fight or flirt, and when they are fooling around.
He is characterized by complete fearlessness, violation of rules and prohibitions. Dulled nervous system. Ice has a very high pain threshold due to a stable autonomic system. Smart enough to mask his destructive behavior. Emotionally poor, but some things cause him a strong emotional reaction, although he is good at controlling these short impulses.
He tries to control facial expressions (his face does not express anything, and his eyes are distant) and almost always smiles in order to win people over and so that Cobra does not get nervous. At the first meeting, Cobra was frightened by the fact that Ice had a fixed and very attentive look. Without blinking or looking away, he looked into his eyes for a long time, refraining from talking and simply observing, evaluating. Sometimes it happens that Ice forgets what emotion he should portray: if you tell him a terrible story from life, his face will remain cold and insensitive until he catches himself and gives out the proper reaction.
Very vengeful, never forgives. If Ice has more important needs, he satisfies those first. He will not take revenge if he did not set it as a purposeful goal, but he will remember the offender.
In a conflict situation, he feels comfortable. Extreme situations are his comfort zone.
Drago noticed that Ice was different from other people. He never changed the rhythm of the heartbeat, pulse, breathing rate. It reacts to extreme situations where it should have been frightened, only with aggression or complete composure.
Cunning, smart and rational to the point of cynicism. Self-confident, able to ingratiate himself in a matter of seconds. It scans a person and understands where you need to agree with him, and where to smile, and where to flatter, and where to support.
He wears social masks and gives the right reaction for any psychotype. A large file of emotional reactions accumulated over the years. Periodically, Ice looks at Fist and asks with a look what kind of emotional reaction he should give out. Cobra is inadequate, Ice would not ask his opinion on this matter.
Hates sweets, but loves licorice. Cobra is horrified by this, since licorice is terribly not tasty and can only be liked by very inadequate people, according to Cobra.
He has a pronounced propensity for dominance, but does not like being in charge of anything too much.
He developed dyscalculia (which I think is the canon of the series, because he finds it difficult to calculate the simplest arithmetic example. As a person with dyscalculia, I will say that I saw a kindred spirit in him at that moment).
He is severely motion sick on the subway until he vomits and these are the only moments of weakness that he allows himself.
He believes that ideals do not exist, and that all generally accepted standards do not make sense. Therefore, the brain melts that it is impossible to reach them. And you don't need them, these ideals, really.
Here, Ice met with Drago on the grounds that Shendu crushed his son under his template, imposing his way of thinking, dreams and expectations on him. From the very childhood, he laid down the installations and formed them within his own framework.
Ice likes Drago, but he is still wary of him, making sure that Drago's conflicts with other members of their small party do not develop into something serious and gets into a showdown in time.
Ice is also the one who manages to calm Cobra when he has another nervous breakdown.
He smokes marijuana, which is why he is always so casually calm. He likes alcohol, against which background conflicts arise with Cobra, who despises alcohol and is generally afraid of drunk people.
Ice likes to participate in underground fights, getting paid for it, because he is a good fighter and knows that he can beat almost anyone in a fight. So far, he has never lost.
Ice collects animal skulls and teeth. Once they dug up a corpse in the cemetery so that Drago would get the ingredients for the spell and Ice would take skull. Sometimes he jokingly says that he likes Drago's skull. Cobra does not exclude the possibility that Ice would dismember Drago and take his skull if he suddenly died.
Based on Cobra's words, Ice has already killed people.
The first time it happened was when he was attacked by a local maniac. Ice doesn't feel pain, so getting stabbed gives him the advantage of surprise. He has his own philosophy about the alpha predator. As a rule, if he is threatened, for a start, Ice makes a "warning shot" that it is better not to mess with him, and if everything is really bad and he feels real danger, he eliminates the source of the threat without a drop of regret.
Ice took the tooth of that person as a trophy for himself.
Usually he neglects his own safety and the safety of others, not thinking about the consequences. However, if he likes a person, he can literally kill for him. Therefore, he has his own "list" of people whom he eliminates in one way or another (not necessarily killing) in order to protect Cobra or avenge him. Cobra is still upset and doesn't understand why one of his friends committed suicide. In that situation, Ice was the one who harassed and harassed this man, due to the fact that he almost drove Cobra to suicide.
In a situation where Drago complained about how tired he was of the Chans and especially Jackie Chan, one of the suggestions that came out was from Ice: "Well … can I kill him then?" to which, in turn, Cobra reacted aggressively and negatively, recalling that Ice swore that there would be no more killings. To which Ice already reminded that he was a liar. Cobra's option was to accuse Jackie of molesting minors by posing as a victim. And Jay generally ignored it and painted.
Speaking of which, I really liked one expression that I once heard from a psychopath (not personally, I don’t know this person) It will not be verbatim, but the general essence is preserved:
"It's not true that we have empathy. I like people, but I like them like a cool tea set or a cool pet. These things are valuable to me. But if they break, I will not feel sorry for them, but myself, because I lost them, and not because this person died. I may not understand why you can be scared if I beat your offender so hard that he does not dare to harm you anymore. I do not understand such deep things, and emotions on the surface are too mechanical. But I care about you, if you are of value to me, I want you to be safe and feel good." And I see Ice just like that.
Drago realizes that Ice is more dangerous than the rest and perceives him as a direct competitor to his authority.
Ice is the only one in the company who really knows martial arts (his parents sent him to Thai boxing so that he could find where to spend his energy) A very good and dangerous fighter, but at one time his first worthy opponent was Kobra, who was used to fighting in a street and almost animal style " fight or die": dirty, fast and in every possible way. The Сobra bit him hard on the palm and tore his cheek with his teeth, and also broke his eyebrow, leaving a visible scar.
In general, Ice and Cobra fight a lot as friends to fool around.
Drago is annoyed that Ice has a lot of different stupid words in his speech and how careless he is, so he was very surprised when, left alone, Ice spoke to him normally. Usually alone with Drago, he switches to coherent speech.
Ice has a reserved style of clothing. Army boots, a cloak with a hood - specially torn and darned again, covered with stripes.
He has a habit of giving nicknames to his friends and not giving their nicknames when talking about them to other people. Therefore, Cobra is a weirdo / mad dog, Jay is a frostbitten hippie, and Drago is a psycho dinosaur.
"Ice… he's not bad! He's not evil and doesn't rejoice in other people's suffering. He just doesn't understand them. Not everyone understands him either." - © Cobra.
Stable cruelty formed an unstable personality.
Cobra has an emotionally unstable personality disorder (borderline type). It is also borderline personality disorder (BPD), teetering on the verge of turning into schizophrenia over time under adverse conditions. In addition to the advanced form of the disease, Cobra is very, very unstable for many reasons.
He got his nickname because of his demeanor: calmness can turn into aggression and attack at any unpredictable moment.
Doesn't remember his name or his own age, thanks to his memory blocking most of his negative memories. Sometimes his memory is "overloaded" and he recalls passages from his childhood. He usually has a brief episode of tantrums afterwards.
Forked "snake" tongue (split tongue), artificially pointed fangs and craving for black eyeliner. He carries a knife, but he never used it to hurt someone. Only to himself. He doesn't use a knife in fights. A lot of bracelets on his hands - he collects as a reminder of the friends who gave them to him. I received my first bracelet when the older guy noticed how he hides scars behind his sleeve and gave him his bracelet.
In fact, he is gray-haired (due to the huge amount of stress he suffered in childhood), so he dyes his hair in bright colors and periodically changes its length. He does not allow anyone to touch his hair except Ice, or if some girl wants to comb his hair, it makes him laugh. He constantly smokes, smoking several packs a day, calming down in this way. Drago doesn't like the smell of smoke so he tries to throw out his cigarettes.
"What is this rubbish?"
"What are you, a cop?"
He has restless fingers. If the Cobra does not smoke, then he simply twirls something in his hands, sorts out his hair, knuckles, or strokes his wrists. Constantly something chews: apples or lollipops. Almost always, he taps his foot and jerks his head, quickly tilting it to his shoulder when he is especially nervous, which causes his neck to hurt. (it will really hurt if you jerk your head from the slightest nervous excitement, it’s an unpleasant thing, I don’t recommend it :)) Curiously, Cobra never gets nervous around Drago.
The same cheerful dude in the company who jokes a lot (at the same time, about death and other terrible things), laughs hysterically as if for the last time in his life. Looks a little crazy. Pretend stupidity hides an extremely lively and sharp mind. He thinks it's better for people to think you're dumber than you really are - if people underestimate you, then you'll always have an advantage.
It seems that he is absolutely not afraid of anything and no one, fitting into all possible adventures.
Cobra is talking. A lot. Everything at once and nothing at the same time. With all the desire that was not there, Drago would not have been able to follow this stormy stream of chaotic thoughts. He just learned not to delve into and maintain a distance.
Cobra had habit of touching the interlocutor while chatting, shoving him in the most sophisticated ways, trying to grab his arm or shoulder with enviable stubbornness. Look into eyes, make sure that he is being listened to. His manner was impetuous and impatient.
He is extremely friendly, very talkative and friendly. Usually tries to be closer to people and physically clings to them, may begin to bite from an excess of positive emotions. Therefore, if you do not know him, it is hard to expect a sudden aggressive reaction from him. Cobra has a bad reputation as an extremely dangerous and psychotic asshole. At first, when he and Ice first met, Cobra's condition was much worse than now, when friends have learned to regulate his condition a little. And although he very sincerely sought to communicate, the rest of the teenagers were afraid of him. In fact, only Ice can be with him for a long time and not react negatively to any of his antics and mood swings. Periodically, Cobra may begin to cry or hysteria, catching an insignificant trigger and when his nervous system is overloaded.
He loves trouble and often draws others into the adventure, due to his extremely unstable emotional behavior and dangerous rash antics. Very empathic and sensitive, but at the same time very emotional and impulsive.
A stressful childhood is the sponsor of a good sense of humor in adolescence!
He can be called the soul of the company, a cheerful and sociable guy, but inside he has a real hell. He's in a lot of pain, he's in a lot of pain. His smile is a protective grin. He laughs because of terrible things, but at any second he is ready to cry. Drago sees inside him a huge black hole and does not realize what it is and what to do with it. Drago knows how to feel the emotions of people, and at first did not understand why he "hears" screams or requests for help, although everyone is calm or even laughing.
("The world is a bastard place and I along with it.
How the hell does it hurt.
I can't take it anymore.
Help, please, someone, I beg you".)
Very tactful and respectful towards girls. It will be enough if someone on the street emits an obscene whistle and confuses the girl with this, Cobra will silently turn around and break his face. Likes to refer to girls as "missy" as a diminutive form of the word "miss". Despite the general instability, in certain things he is as safe as possible and will be the person who, at a general party, sits next to a sleeping girl and patiently waits until she comes to her senses. Those who know about this can specifically go to bed next to him if they feel anxious, but they want to sleep, but they don’t leave the party. Among those who know Cobra, this is called "taking the safest place in the house next to the most dangerous who is in it"
Cobra is sharpened for survival. He is like a fighting dog who has learned to survive on the streets. Therefore, few people contact him if we understand who he is dealing with. Cobra is frankly inadequate. He is called a "mad dog" because of his demeanor, his habit of biting (during fights or when he likes someone). He became very attached to Ice and keeps him a dog's devotion, at first he literally followed him everywhere. Ice uses him a little, but appreciates him. For many, it is strange that they were able to make friends, especially considering that Cobra is wary of gays. In the circle of a large company, they made bets on how it would all end, when Cobra began to follow Ice everywhere and seek his attention.
Cobra can be overprotective, so at first he would react aggressively to any joke towards Ice that he could consider offensive, but Ice managed to stop him easily.
Kobra has a heightened sense of justice, but is very easy to manipulate, which Ice takes advantage of.
You don't have to try hard to please him. As Ice noted, he is like a dog that will follow whoever pets it. Strong tactile hunger and the desire to be closer to a person as a compensatory mechanism for loneliness. Drago characterizes him as an energy vampire.
He likes dry dog food. He always has dog snacks in his backpack to feed them. Sometimes he spends time in a guy's workshop helping him fix cars and gets some money for it, although he always tries to refuse them. In fact, he just likes to spend time with that man, perhaps this is the only adult who does not cause rejection in Cobra. He generally does not know how to trust adults.
In childhood and adolescence, Kobra faced unwanted attention from adults and observed this in other people's examples.
("Have you ever been invited to the basement to play with kittens?”
"I don't like animals. And I have brains". - Ice.
"Hey, I know my worth! If there is at least not a puppy, then we have nothing to talk about. You didn't have a childhood at all."
"Yeah, I always dreamed of being called to the basement, and now I'm taller than them, and no one else is calling."
"I'm your mom's friend from work, I'll give you a ride home, blah blah blah. In short, sometimes I even got chocolates and managed to escape. They are idiots, they think children are stupid. God, I love those times! It was fun. And now we just fuck them. It's sad when you're past the age of cuteness. They don't even need you anymore."
… "sometimes he scares me".
A successful pickpocket and sometimes for fun steals some little things from Drago, passing by and accidentally "pushing". Cobra generally touches friends all the time, even if you just pass by at an accessible distance.
Cobra is a child with high neurotic sensitivity and high intelligence, who was not lucky enough to be born in a very aggressive environment. Since childhood, he actually survived, constantly being in a state of stress, tension and readiness for defense: at home and on the street. Everything frightens him, the world around him is evil and dangerous. He is quite gentle and loving, but the disease destroys his life and makes the life of everyone who is close enough to him a living hell. He experiences a sudden and strong emotional reaction to any minor stimuli.
Prone to impulsive, aggressive, and self-destructive behavior due to constant boredom and feelings of emptiness within. Left alone with himself, he is devoured by emptiness and horror from the inside, and he does various rash acts to fill the hole inside himself and drown out these feelings, thus relieving tension and unloading the nervous system. Cobra fills the silence with dancing, loud music, fights and relationships.
He is very afraid of being stuck in one of his bad states forever, so he made Ice swear to him that Ice will kill him if he realizes that everything is too bad and Cobra goes crazy.
Inclinations to self-harm are manifested, which is expressed in knocked down knuckles, the desire to cut oneself on the forearm with something. Gnawing on his knuckles and putting out cigarettes on his palm. Hides scars under bracelets. Sometimes he is overcome by prolonged hysterical laughter. He hates himself when he takes it out on people close to him.
Cobra has no internal brakes and protective mechanisms of the psyche. It skids like a car on a bend. But in a truly dangerous situation, he is collected and calm when other people start to panic.
He is very, very sincere: when he loves and when he hates. Can't pretend.
This will be the same person who, without understanding what is happening, breaks into someone else's fight with the best of intentions and generally everyone will suffer.
Very difficult relationships with people. Insanely afraid of becoming abandoned and rejected, has an obsessive need for another person. He needs acceptance and constant confirmation that he is loved here and now. Permanent. Poorly understands how to build close relationships, so they are often stormy and unstable, characterized by frequent conflicts. He mimics other people's personalities well and communicates with everyone in a tone of light semi-flirting, easily gaining their affection. However, exactly until the moment when he breaks again. He likes "good girls". He is drawn to something sweet and stable, ordinary life, tenderness and warmth. Somewhat obsessed with one girl: usually quickly switching to another girlfriend, in this situation, Cobra still periodically begins to suffer due to the breakdown of that "special" relationship and tries to return her. They met when he found and returned her lost cat.
Cobra can be considered a fetishist, but he is strained by "bad" feteshes. Therefore, he quickly broke up with a girl who wanted him to slap her, and who confused him and scared him that when she screamed "no!" he stopped touching her, and she was angry that he should not have stopped. Ice laughed at this story, and Drago was caught not fucking understanding what they were talking about.
According to one of his rambling stories, he began sharpening his teeth after several failed kidnap attempts as a child. He grew up with the feeling and awareness that the world is dangerous and adapted to such a reality. All the attributes in his appearance are somehow created to protect himself. Piercing minimizes the likelihood of becoming a victim of human trafficking. Fangs are an additional weapon. He interrupts his smell with nicotine so that evil spirits cannot smell him.
As a child, he was systematically abused by his father, until one of the escapes from home was successful. Cobra loved him and feared him at the same time. His father broke his jaw once.
His mother had the same disease as him. Mother died after swallowing pills. After that, Cobra developed fear, manifested in the fact that he begins to panic wake up those who are sleeping too quietly. A huge fear of being abandoned and rejected is expressed in the desire to prevent this in a new relationship by all means. He has a lot of scars (not counting his face, because he is a good fighter) and one particular long cut on his palm. As a child, he caught a knife with which his father tried to hit his wife - Cobra's mother.
The Cobra is full of impulsiveness and is capable of dangerous acts during mood swings. He is usually quite cheerful, spontaneous and behaves like a child. The world either delights him or frightens him. He is very empathic, but there is a lot of pain and anger in him.
Androgynous appearance, which is stuck somewhere in the middle and Cobra inclines her one way, then the other - according to her mood. Ice says he has "fucking Bambi" eyes.
Sleepwalker. During his periods of sleepwalking, Cobra was able to get to know Drago and interact with him. Drago explained this by the fact that, as a magical creature, he is constantly on two frequencies, so Cobra "saw" him.
He has the skill of extreme vocals, surprising Drago with the ability to growl, wheeze and squeal like a demon.
Sharply emotionally attached due to an insignificant external factor / stimulus, therefore he accepted Drago into the company with delight.
He really likes Drago, he sincerely loves him, so he constantly spins around, satisfying the need to communicate with him through comic fights, provoking. If you don't want to peacefully give him what he wants, then a fight will do too. Either hug him or die in a fight xD He will still hug you in the process. Drago is to some extent flattered by such attention and enthusiasm in general for everything he does, but more often it annoys him. Sometimes Drago doesn't mind supporting the game, but is much ruder in behavior and can accidentally cripple.
Because of Drago, there are a lot of bruises and scratches on Cobra's skin, but this is the lesser evil that happens when you want to be friends with a demon.
Ice says that Cobra only has such an enthusiastic reaction to children and animals to annoy Drago.
Cobra is shaking as if from cold, his nose is bleeding and sometimes he is sick due to being too close to Drago. Drago emits a large amount of powerful evil energy.
Vegan. Very aggressive vegan. It makes him sick to see one creature eating another. The sight of blood does not frighten him, the very fact of devouring disgusts him. He loves animals, especially dogs, which is mostly due to the death of his beloved dog in childhood. Cobra met Ice because Ice kicked a cat. It ended in a fight, a police station and a friendship.
Member of the Animal Liberation Front (ALF).
At the same time, he calmly perceives that Drago is a natural predator and can eat another creature.
He experiences painful uncontrollable emotions: abandonment, uselessness, helplessness. In animals and small children, he sees his traumatized part.
He splashed out anger and rage on himself or others, objects. His outburst of anger debilitates him. The hole in his chest opens with bloody wounds and gapes with emptiness. Joy and anger leave him.
Loves to read. Reads a lot. Especially Stephen King. If you know what book he is reading, you can understand what mood he will be in. Has a habit of temporarily adopting character traits and behaviors of characters. He also loves TV shows about vampires, especially Buffy.
Plays guitar. Favorite bon jovi song is Livin on a prayer. This song is very important to him. The cobra involuntarily hums it, usually to calm down. He no longer remembers that episode from his life, but with the same song he calmed down his very little sister, himself a child, when his parents quarreled in the next room.
The Misfits are my favorite musical group. He loves heavy music, which allows him to help deal with mental pain.
When he feels himself on edge, he exhausts himself in the most harmless way - a chaotic aggressive dance.
The emotional scale of fear is broken. In deep childhood, due to a weakened emotional state, he was attacked by a dark entity that fed on fear. This creature came at night and guarded him, tormented him mentally, watching through the window. She came to the smell of carrion, because Kobra was already practically dying, psychologically crippled.
Cobra's father killed his dog because it barked at night and then Cobra was left all alone against the whole world. This continued until the creature got very close for the final attack and received a cold wave of tired NOTHING in response. At that moment, Cobra's psyche finally cracked, which saved him. He just suddenly became so spit that the emotions turned off. Subsequently, this was reflected in the fact that he learned to notice supernatural beings and react extremely calmly to this.
He is afraid of hallucinations, periodically asking if something seemed to him. At first thought that Drago was his hallucination.
He is not at all afraid of Drago, or his aggressive attacks, or anything at all that confuses Drago in order. Only once did Drago manage to really scare him, taking him by surprise when he suddenly waved his hand like a man, evoking not the best trigger memories in Cobra.
Cobra tries to befriend him and is subconsciously drawn to him by passive suicidal tendencies, in an effort to have Drago hurt him.
Cobra is afraid of adult men and often says that he will never grow up, because adults are fucked up and he definitely will not become like that. To some extent, this is a hint that he wants to commit suicide.
(a situation with a common hangout of different random people:
"I'm afraid of men". - a familiar girl.
"Me too. These guys are creepy". - Cobra.
"But you"…
"I'm not an adult. And I will never be".
….
"Ice."
"What?"
"I don't think Cobra is okay".
"Can't be".
"I'm serious. He's practically voiced his desire for suicide to me now!"
"I don't understand, who do you think I am, his mother? Why, if he does some crap, does everyone immediately run to me? .. Cobra, spit it out! Or I'll come and get it myself! That's it, I'm watching. So what did you say? He is an independent person, I do not interfere in his affairs".)
Cobra is also angry at Ice, because he starts relationships with guys much older and once broke one such guy's legs, accusing him of pedophilia. After that, Ice keeps his relationship as far away from his friends as possible.
He was the first to show Drago friendliness because… FUCK YOUR FUCK THIS IS A DRAGON! Can we keep it for ourselves? You are cool, dude. Do you want candy?
Cobra eats sweets, a lot. Let it kill him better than the lack of endorphins. And he likes to get everyone together to spend time chatting or playing something. When they walk around the city, the Cobra will usually start walking very close and push the other person out of the way. When he involuntarily began to do this with Drago, he pushed him with his shoulder and threw him somewhere into the bushes.
It is worth mentioning that he applies methods of communication to everyone like with dogs: feed, scratch behind the ear.
Clothing: bovver boots with a high shaft and intricate lacing. Heavy leather jacket, lots of iron. Drago at first believed that it was a talisman against weak evil spirits.
General headcanon and other little things:
People in the understanding of Drago build complex and intricate social bonds. And he did not always correctly understand gestures and assess their meaning, which at times created certain … difficulties. Human beings are strange and very illogical creatures. Too complicated. Drago found himself thinking too often lately that he didn't seem to know anything about them at all.
Drago and the punks often hang out on the football field when no one is there after hours. In this place you can indulge in melancholy and just chat about different things. When they quarreled and stopped communicating for a while, Drago would come there alone because of the sudden feeling of loneliness and was angry that no one else was there.
Cobra sees Ice as a stable figure. Strong, self-confident, understandable, stable, who knows what she wants from life. Trying to stabilize himself at his expense. Basically, why does he have a fetish for "good girls". Stable, calm and safe. He really wants this island of calm, and he sincerely falls in love with such a person, until he disappoints him with the fact that he cannot stand the suffocating adoration.
Ice gets high from the emotional gushing of Cobra, compensating for this lack of emotions in himself. Cobra is cool, it's not boring with him. And pathological boredom is Ice's main problem. The trouble is that it's fun with Cobra due to the fact that he is so crazy from the hell inside himself that he tries to drown him out with adrenaline and other craziness. Ice says that it seems that Cobra behaves like either a very angry grandfather, or a three-year-old, and somewhere in the middle he is real, but it is not known which of these is worse.
Ice's plus is that he divides everyone into strangers and his own. And he appreciates and loves his own, in a peculiar way, but he loves, and oh, how Kobra needs love.
The difference is that Ice and Jay chose this life consciously because they wanted to, while Cobra was forced to adapt in order to survive.
Drago has a sharp specific smell like a demon. It smells like death, iron, fumes and blood. Ice says that Drago stinks of carrion. Drago also has a nervous tic: he twists the corner of his mouth and licks his fangs when he is nervous. Ice noticed it right away.
Cobra gives Drago many nicknames, like: Dag, Daggert, D-Rex, Beast and others. He also taught him bad words and various interesting gestures, with which Drago subsequently shocked the impressionable Jackie.
Drago has a habit of silently grabbing a person and dragging him along the ground if he needs to move somewhere or call to follow him. Cobra doesn't mind, he even has fun.
Drago believes that people with green eyes should beware. They are sorcerers. Vicious predators lurking in a simple human form.
Ice sees Drago as a victim of domestic violence and, in principle, they all immediately took Drago for their own just because of this factor. The broken help the broken.
Drago can become ill with something like schizophrenia, since Shendu had sons before he was born and they all went crazy and were killed. Drago confessed this to the guys when they were all stoned after Drago had his first tantrum in his life amid the loss of fire magic and the general pressure from his father and his own high expectations. Too much anger, fear and disappointment broke him down. In fact, the guys were betting how fast Drago would have a nervous breakdown, see how tense he is and work himself up. Welcome to the world of teenagers: we have disappointments, betrayals and other jokes here. Don't forget to buckle up.
Communication with people and thus balancing the two opposites inside Drago can help him not to repeat the fate of other unsuccessful children of Shendu.
Drago did not understand people well. Even worse - these people. But he had to reluctantly admit to himself that he found more and more attractive things in their society. Ice said that each person is a unique individual. Individuality occupied a rather significant place in their philosophy. You don't need to compare yourself to anyone. Be who you are and be happy. At the same time send to hell those who do not agree with this.
Драго злится, что люди постоянно обманывают. Что дружелюбные и спокойные — опасные убийцы. Что холодные и равнодушные — самые добрые. А те, кто много смеётся и не боится смерти, хранят шрамы на коже и боятся жить.
Drago is a cannibal, he is used to eating people because his father taught him to do so, but he successfully fought this addiction.Drago perceives people as cattle, as befits a demon. Therefore, his communication with the guys changed over time until the moment when he admitted that he was sick from the thought of eating their meat. Because they are his friends. And he does not eat his own kind.(this was the basis of a joke throughout the story, when Cobra called Drago a cannibal, and Ice corrected him that cannibalism is eating one's own kind)
And here are a few photos that I saw and I liked them. These guys are somewhat similar to how I see these characters.
