"The Black and Asian male sprites in RC are always so crazy beautiful, and we don’t have enough of them as LIs!!! Needless to say, I need a Jasper/Logan/MC threesome more than I need DLS to end 🥵"
Iggy is the resident Disaster Gay, who prefers to spend his time imbibing in weed and watching TV, but has a heart of gold.
Jasper is the resident Closeted Bi, and the youngest adult of the Misfits. He is obsessed with science, violin, and Cheetos.
LOTS of goodies under the cut!
Iggy stands 5'11", though his permanent slouch tends to make him look a little smaller. He has ivory skin and long, shaggy, and somewhat matted hair that is naturally brown but has been bleached and dyed a pastel pink. He has a button nose and unkempt facial hair/eyebrows, and pale hazel-gray eyes. He has an uncomfortably thin and bony body, with sticklike limbs and visible ribs and hips. Notably, he has dainty feet. He also has a tiny heart-shaped birthmark on the back of his neck. Iggy was also born intersex, a subject he tends to dismiss or avoid discussing. Iggy is a chill, friendly, and affectionate man who sticks incredibly close to his friends. He tends to not take things seriously and jokes around even during serious times. He views tragedy and conflict as things to be avoided at all costs, and uses a number of coping mechanisms, mostly unhealthy, to try and maintain levity in his life. This is largely a shield against his inner insecurities and depressions, particularly towards himself.
Jasper Lee, born Li Jianyu (last name -> first name), is half-Chinese and half-Scottish. He's only 5'0" and has stringy black hair, pallid skin with acne scars, and is slightly overweight. He wears big thick glasses, an oversized hoodie, sweatpants, and sneakers. He frequently finds himself injured, hence why his face and hands/fingers are often covered in bandages. Despite his abrasive nature, he is incredibly smart and studious, and has an immense passion for biochemistry. His father, Keith, was also Avery's father, meaning the two are half brothers - Keith cheated on Avery's mom with Jasper's mother. Obviously not really wanting or caring for a child, she was usually too busy with her fashion line to properly take care of him, and every single moment the two spent together was her berating him for his weight, his teeth, his acne, etc, and grilling him to be better in his schoolwork and violin. After his expulsion from college due to a nervous breakdown, his mother phoned him once to let him know he was a massive disappointment and said she would never see him again, leaving him abandoned, alone, in Canada with nothing but his suitcase and some meager savings. Thankfully, he found the rest of the Misfits, who took him in.
Trivia:
Iggy loves chips and s'mores and takeout. The only thing he is capable of cooking without destroying the kitchen is his signature mac n cheese bomb, which is made with Kraft macaroni and powdered cheese, cream cheese, american cheese, shredded cheddar, mayonnaise, and ketchup. He is the only one who can eat this without throwing up, too.
Iggy's 'stage name', Iggy Nova, is a subtle reference to David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust.
He works at a fictional version of Wendy's called Mandy's. He has been there long enough that he's become jaded to customers, often snarking or snapping back at them. His managers don't care enough to fire him.
When standing still, Iggy has duck feet (his toes point towards each other).
Jas lives on a steady diet of Cheetos. If anyone wants a share they'd better buy their own bag and hide it before Jasper finds it. He also likes moon cakes.
Jas is a prolific violin player. He finds great solace in playing, despite how much of a stickler his mother was for him practicing and how she berated him constantly for not being good enough. He finds the act of playing very therapeutic.
Jasper is actually underage at the beginning of the story (17). His birthday is Oct 20th and his 18th takes place during the story.
Jasper's name is his chosen Anglicized name to distance himself from his family.
Note: some content relating to these two was cut due to its triggering nature, but if you're interested, DM me to hear me ramble about them some more!
