some uhhhh southpark notes bc i kinda want to bring him back?? maybe???

so uhh name change from kaiser to southpaw/southpark because what are original character ideas?? this came to me both at the gym & at 2am so uh u know how could this go wrong

a couple revised notes
- a shift off of kyle to kenny instead
- genderfluid, identifies with whatever predominate soul is present
- cant permanently die, comes back to life within the next 24 hours
- inherits a new soul every time he dies that becomes linked to him while still remaining distinct- their fate is the same as his, so however south died was also how the new soul had died. currently has 4 total souls, counting himself: kaiser (murder/kyle), elliott (drowning/butters), miles (stan/suicide)
- MAJOR identity crisis, unable to distinguish his own memories from the memories of the souls he's connected to
- due to being overwhelmed with the memories of kaiser & the unnamed second soul, south attempted suicide, only to return once more with another soul. he can only recall bits and pieces of pasts, but cannot distinguish if they are his own or another souls'
- starting at 10 months, but will stay southpaw well into his adulthood, feeling he is not ready for any sort of name change while he's still so unstable in his identity. once he inherits all the souls i have planned for him he will finally begin to distinguish himself from the others, and after having a firm grasp on who he is and who they are, as well as who they all are together, will change his name to southpark. this is also when other souls would change their names as well (such as butterpaw to butterscotch)
- planned souls are wendy, craig, token, cartman & jimmy; possibly ike or adult characters?
- stick with loner/human names!! important for his past

kody : kenny
kaiser : kyle
miles : stan
elliott : butters
tucker : craig
wisteria : wendy
zane(?) : cartman
ezekiel?) : token
jonathan(?) : jimmy
gang gang gang


use something from "whatever it takes" by imagine dragons for a sig

so until i get a proper biography up, this will be a masterpost of southpaw's character notes!! it will contain all the info you need for understanding him & roleplaying with him nwn

- his name is currently southpaw, although he reacts more strongly to kaiser, elliott, miles, and kody. each name will elicit a different response
- male by sex: genderfluid, aligns with whatever soul is "in control". this is more than often not he/him
- currently 10 months old: will keep his apprentice name well into adulthood, when he feels he is more unified and ready to change his name to be more fitting as the sum of his parts. his planned warrior name is southpark.
- a thickly furred mid-content wolfdog covered in scars. his fur nearly swallows him, hiding his underweight body beneath a thick layer of fluff. south is almost able to hide in his own fur like a turtle, and when he curls up into a ball, his features are unidentifiable through his fur. his fur is a dark dusty brown covered by a black grizzle, dark freckles marking his muzzle that blend with a combination of small nicks and toothmark scars that speckle him with dots of different colours on his face. his most notable scars, aside from the numerous that mark his muzzle, are a stab wound to the chest from his first death, a bite mark on his right shoulder, and a vertical cut across his throat from his most recent suicide. his eyes are a bright blue, while is tongue splotched black and pink. concept sketch
- unable to permanently die, comes back to life in the next 24 hours - if his body is too maimed to recover, he will be forced into a new one
- every time south dies, he is linked to a new soul from his past that shared the same fate he did. kody was the first to die in a drunk driving accident and the first to take over the wolfdog body, having full memories of his prior life. his first death was by murder, in which he was linked to kaiser, one of kody's old friends from high school. kaiser and kody's memories blended in the wolfdog body, and they were unable to distinguish themselves from each other. the second was elliott when he was thrown into a river and could not get out; the sudden addition of another voice in kody's head caused him to commit suicide, bringing in the final addition, miles. whereas kody was formerly the predominate personality, the souls are now all equally in control: their memories are still blended together, unable to distinguish themselves from others: they recall their names and the fact they knew each other, but little else.
- currently comprised of four souls: kaiser, elliot, miles, and kody. "southpark" is their collective name, and they are still adapting to responding to the name. it is not kept a secret that southpark is not an entity unto himself, but not common knowledge either. often times not the souls speaking through the body will introduce themselves as their own name rather than using the collective name.

signs of which soul is dominate:

kody
- flirtatious
- generally wont speak unless spoken to, although will ramble if given the chance. not shy of speaking, just doesnt take initiative often
- toothy grins and chuckles!!
- unashamed of the scars on their body, but takes prompting to explain where they each come from
- very informal way of speaking: "an' whatdya want to do 'bout it?"
- very easy to befriend, but difficult to become close with
- protective to a fault, will do very very very stupid things to keep those he loves safe
- pretty easy to confuse, but wont ask for clarification: will just sort of roll with it and often times get it wrong
- doesnt regret much, a "fuck it" mentality - this includes his death from drunk driving
- redneck
- the most likely to fight: kody is the dominate soul in combat
- when southpark dies, kody is always the one in control: their soulbind is kody's curse
- pansexual as fuck will swing for any gender he likes to sleep around
- "i just came here for the weed"
- morally ambiguous, tentative chaotic neutral
- moves with a downplayed swagger, gait is smooth but masculine and confident

kaiser
- relatively quiet around crowds, chatty in one on one conversations
- a Sassy Boy, unafraid to speak whats on his mind, especially if he disagrees with something. nothing can change his opinions if he believes he's right
- loves to give a speech!! kaiser doesnt just say one or two things to make his point no no no he's constructed an entire argument and counterargument in 2 seconds and he's going to explain ALL of it
- most formal method of speaking out of the main four, but still casual
- huffs and snorts a lot when irritated
- irritated a lot
- very, very, VERY angry about his murder dont let him rant about it he wont stop
- a little self-conscious about the scars, but doesnt actively try hiding them
- can usually be found reading, prefers history novels
- biromantic homosexual, very cautious and unsure of any sort of relationship
- pretty solid lawful good, although easily swayed by his friends
- steps are light and soundless, gait is effeminate and confident

miles
- the strong, silent type
- doesnt really speak unless spoken to. even thats a coin toss
- broody, usually has a lot on his mind but defiantly denies such
- abuses the phrase "dude" this is such a giveaway
- doesnt smile much?? difficult to make him smile - when he does its usually when he's on his own, talking to the other souls inhabiting southpark's body
- weak as fuck for his friends they can walk all over him and he's a-okay with it
- also incredibly defensive about them he'll cut a bitch if they get too nosy about something any of them is uncomfortable with
- he just wants to cry 24/7 honestly drink hot cocoa with this boy he deserves it
- alcoholic
- honestly not too difficult to befriend?? but forget getting close to him he only sees the other souls as his """true friends""". once youre his friend he will be much more open and happy: laughs at almost any joke pitched, and will talk you through any problems youre going through.
- INCREDIBLY self-conscious of the scars on his body, especially the one across his throat. will go out of his way to keep his chin down to hide it
- lawful neutral
- movement is slow and heavy, its clear he's not really watching where hes going- head is almost always hung low

elliott
- resident soft boy
- very talkative!! LOVES to initiate conversation, a sucker for small talk- honestly any and all attention is good to elliott, he loves to be showered with attention and adores talking someone's ear off and giving them the recognition they deserve. he loves to give compliments but cant take them well, easy to fluster with kind words but thing of a dirty or risque nature he's completely unphased by
- takes words literally? dont use metaphors or similes he will take them at face value and you'll just confuse him
- lives for arts and crafts LOVES to make little trinkets for people
- almost always smiling, if he's not smiling it's because he's worried about something or someone (which is also almost always, elliott is a worry wart by nature)
- drugs are bad!! dont do drugs!!!
- uses a lot of filler and hesitance when he speaks, with very slight southern mannerisms "oh, gee, um, im not so sure about this fellas"
- cries easily: make him macaroni art and he'll cry, call his hat ugly he'll cry, watch a commercial with a dog in it he'll cry, just mention the commercial and he'll probably cry
- lawful good, but an incredible pushover: does whatever the crowd does for fear of being isolated and disliked, just wants to fit in and have a good time
- very easy to befriend, easy to become close with: elliott has no problem spending hours with someone, but rarely gets the chance due to the other souls vying for time in control. elliott doesn't mind sharing, though, and enjoys being a spectator for the others
- self-conscious of the scars on their body, normally doesnt try to hide them but will become dodgy and uncomfortable if asked about them. will not explain them outside of a private setting
- movement is very childlike and clumsy, a feminine "frolick"
