OOC: Sideblog/Character Info (+Backstory)
Sideblog Info: This is one of the IZ Roleplay/Askblogs for @raccoonzinspace. It revolves around one of my IZ AUs in which Zim gets infected with a rare nano-virus and gets mutated into this abomination. The timeframe for this AU is about 30 years after the Florpus incident, and the location it takes place is an abandoned landfill near Cleveland, Ohio (yes, the one that had the shopping center built on top of it and that was leaking methane). Below are the fonts and punctuation that'll be used:

Character Info/Backstory: This version of Zim is much like a giant maggot, mostly consuming things that are rotten or creatures that have long expired. His hideous, chubby build reflects this. Though he does hunt for prey and gather various produce, he stores these away until they're aged to imperfection (ergo, they're completely rotten and crawling with critters). He is incredibly voracious, sometimes devouring up to half his body weight in detritus (for reference, he is about 60 feet tall, 30 feet long, and weighs about 200 tons). He is incredibly territorial, viciously attacking and actively k!lling anything he sees as a threat (mainly humans as he's afraid that they'll send the government after him). He will not stop until the human that "provoked" him is d**d. Though he basically eats s**t, this version of Zim is surprisingly clean, constantly preening his antennas and removing dirt off his body.
Despite his bulky and sturdy frame, this version of Zim is able to run his "aggressors" and prey down at over 50 mph for a distance of 15 miles, and he has even been known to follow his "aggressors" home. He can register where he puts each of his eight legs so he can be as silent as possible. He uses a special sack in the back of his throat in order to spew special gas: the brownish-orange gas is used to drive threats away and the greenish-yellow gas is used to end prey. His collapsable ribs allow him to squeeze into small spaces, letting him get to food that is otherwise unreachable. If a person gets bitten by this creature, then they develop a nasty (and often f*tal) infection from the wound. The spikes on his body are also incredibly toxic, leaking a poison that can k!ll a man in under a minute (there's no antidote, either).
This version of Zim cleverly uses his abilities in order to get his victims, making him quite a scary creature. For example, he has been known to breathe his prey-k!lling gas into the ventilation system of a "aggressive" person's home and cut off escape points for his prey. He really only ventures out of his territory if he is trying to murk a threat or is hunting for prey, though.
Backstory: Zim had managed to contract a rare, incurable nano-virus. When it was found out that he had been infected with this, he was sent to a hidden laboratory on Irk to be monitored and quarantined. Over the two weeks he was kept in that lab, the nano-virus initiated a painful transformation and change in behavior. Zim fought tooth and nail in order to keep himself in tact, but the virus won. The data in his PAK was compromised and his memories were wiped. He had been mostly reverted back to a primordial, animalistic state.
Things reached a fever pitch when he escaped from his room and devoured one of the Irken scientists that was watching him. Upon finding this out, the Tallest demanded that this Zim be euthanized as he was deemed too dangerous to be kept around. Zim overheard this and devised a successful plan, escaping Irk. The Irken Empire didn't pursue him as "at least he wasn't on Irk anymore".
Unfortunately, this version of Zim ended up back on Earth in the aforementioned abandoned landfill. It is here that he dug himself a den and made himself at home, establishing his territory using the scent glands on his forehead. This Zim would spend his days guarding his territory and keeping intruders out, culling any human who found out he was there. He thrived here by devouring the rotting landfill garbage and using his various abilities to the fullest.
Potential Triggering/Upsetting Content: There are some things that are discussed on this IZ RP blog that might be disturbing to some readers. Some of the things that will commonly pop up are: d3ath, implied heat/implied s3xual urges, and the occasional egg-laying (this version of Zim is a hermaphrodite, meaning he is both he and she. However, "he/him" are his preferred pronouns). If any of the above topics trigger or upset you, you might want to use caution when browsing through this blog! You do not have to follow this blog if anything here upsets you.
