History:
As the 26th child of Shrek and Phiona Thomson (or at least, the 26th child in the household), attention and resources were limited to say the least. Little Ziggy was initially content with his life, being left alone to his own devices by adults and siblings alike, until a travelling band rolled into his small town. The Tonzura Brothers were a small-time folk band, and Ziggy quickly fell in love with the idea of entertainment.
The band was extremely patient and supportive of the little gremlin. Although they were only in town for a week, they forever altered the path of Ziggy’s life. Ziggy had a taste of love and attention, and he liked it. He tried to pick up music, much to everyone’s despair. He quickly moved on to knock knock jokes, then art, dance, anything he could think of to get a smile… or a favorable reaction.
Eventually the little man had enough. He packed his bags and hit the road, definitely not looking back. Not once, I swear. Thankfully, the road has been kind to him, and Ziggy’s discovered moderate success as a street performer, specifically with magic tricks! He loves it and wants to pursue his career, maybe learn real magic… but fancy costumes and move tutoring and certificates cost money. A lot of money. So now he has a job, maybe he can learn a little self-management too.
Personality:
Ziggy is a bit of an odd one, used to entertaining himself and acting out when he wants attention. It’s a habit he’s trying to break, as he’s finally settled somewhere and his reputation will stay with him. This proves tricky, as he is generally aloof and terrible at picking up on social cues (not that he’s always trying but still. He wants to do better).
Other:
- His education is minimal, but he can read and do basic math so he’s probably qualified for merchant work
- Ziggy has a lot of strange superstitions, one of which regards his costume. Stealing your signature look is bad luck! Almost all his earnings over his travels have gone toward building his wardrobe. The more love that goes into it, the more powerful of a positive influence it will have.
- The Tonzura Brothers would stop by Ziggy’s hometown a few times over the years on their way to larger gigs, and they were always happy to see the pink menage. Ziggy hasn’t seen them since leaving home. He wonders if they still think about him
Trivia:
- What’s that on his face? Makeup? A tattoo? The world’s most unlikely birthmark? He won’t tell.
- Ziggy's costume is going to change A LOT over time (starting simple and then building it as his character develops and he earns the income to do so). His Mission 0 look is intentionally kind of awful. The tiny hat he has is something he used to play in as a cleffa but has long since outgrown.
- His former app art is available to view here ! He might evolve before getting the full costume.
