Name: Igaluk
Aliases/Nicknames: Iggy; Jeremy Desario
Age/Apparent Age: From the way he acts, Iggy appears to be in his late 20’s.
Gender: Male
Type: Beastie
Height: 6’8”
Weight: 352 lbs
Build: Incredibly muscular, especially in the torso. Legs are more streamlined, while arms are bulging with oversized muscles.
Facial Features: Iggy has a wide, friendly and open face, with wide-set eyes, a giant grinning maw, and a rounded head. Iggy does not have external ears and possesses two stubby golden spiraled horns on his forehead.
Eyes: Small, black and watery, but somehow still filled with an appearance of good humor.
Hair: Short, soft fur with a striped pattern of light tan and white across his entire body.
Deformity: Iggy resembles an anthropomorphic narwhal, with his round head and fur covered body. The fur covering his body is a striped pattern of creamy white and light tan, like that of a younger narwhal as opposed to the darker grey of the older creatures. His six fingers and toes on each foot are connected with webbing that helps him swim incredibly fast underwater. His two stubby horns are merely cosmetic as they are two short to be used as defense or attack. His body is built like the exaggerated swimmer’s physique, with most of the bulk and muscle in the upper body.
Personality Description: Iggy is extremely open and friendly individual, though prone to fits of babbling and rants. This is usually only when engaged in either his greatest love or his most loathsome chore; film and fish respectively. Iggy is always willing to lend a helping hand or a sympathetic ear to either friend or stranger. Iggy has an acute sense of humor, but finds it easier to laugh at other’s jokes than make his own.
History: Igaluk was born Jeremy Desario June 18th, 1918 in San Berndino, California to a successful banker and his stay home wife. Jeremy had a normal childhood and when he turned 18, he enlisted the in the United States Army. When the US entered World War II, Jeremy found himself overseas in the wartorn countryside of France fighting the Germans. Serving with distinction, Jeremy obtained the rank of sergeant before he was killed in action. Jeremy’s body was torn to ribbons my German machine gunfire during a beachhead operation. Somewhere in the murky depths, something terribly large and monstrous bit Jeremy, taking a chunk out of his ribs. Much to his surprise, Jeremy woke up at the bottom of the Strait of Dover. Even more surprising, Jeremy grew a foot in height and was covered in a layer of fur. Jeremy was a freak.
Jeremy swam the Atlantic Ocean back to the Americas, finding it quite easy to traverse the chilly waters with no need of resurfacing for air. Upon reaching the shores of Nova Scotia, Jeremy found that he changed more severely than he first imagined. Jeremy lived his life out in Nova Scotia, surviving in the wilderness as an urban legend until he was discovered by a fellow Nightbreed. The Nightbreed told Jeremy what he was, and that there was a safe haven for his kind in Midian. Jeremy followed his supernatural mentor to Midian and became an integral part of the community. For decades, he served the Midian community by acting as guardian and warder due to his immense physical presence and military training. However, after a while, Jeremy, now baring the name of the ancient Inuit god Igaluk, became bored with the sedate life of Midian. Striking out on his own he traveled in secret across North America, where he met the love of his life: cinema. Iggy took any chance he could get to catch a cinema adventure despite the danger of being discovered. It was the best moments of his life but they were cut short by the fall of Midian.
The psychic backlash of the destruction of the great haven was like a blaring claxon in Iggy’s mind. Following the mystical keening, he arrived too late to find his brethren; they had fled. Tracking the wayward Nightbreed, Iggy came upon the sanctuary in Coquille. He quickly became integrated into the community, where he was given the task of farming the carp. Iggy quickly learned to hate carp, but fortunately Cassiel also allowed Iggy to set up a small theater in the sanctuary. Now, Iggy leads a simple life at home, and while he misses the adventure of the open road, he secretly fears that if he leaves this home it will fall like Midian did. Iggy puts up with the carp, brings fresh new films to his monstrous friends, and remains painfully oblivious to the advances of Maia, a young Mystic who has a schoolgirl crush on him.
Afflictions[/u]
Fins: Iggy’s possesses sharp, spiny fins along his forearms and calves, and has slight webbing between his fingers and toes. The fins and webbing are the same coloration as his fur, but fleshy instead of furry.
Fangs: Several rows of needle-sharp teeth line Iggy’s mouth, allowing him to make mince of anything he gets his chompers on.
Rend: Iggy’s terribly muscular arms can make quick work of tearing prey limb from limb. Iggy uses it often to open tenacious bags of potato chips.
Grounded: Due to Iggy’s Electrophorus-like physiology, he is unaffected by even the strongest electrical charges.
Insulated: The soft fir the covers Iggy’s body and his penchant for arctic waters renders him immune to the iciest of temperatures.
Common Dress: Iggy’s style is reminiscent of 50’s style, specifically of the Greaser subculture. Iggy’s standard work clothes consist of an A-shirt and green work trousers. His “dress” clothes consist of a dark olive Cabretta jacket or various patterned Sir Guy tees with a pair of vintage 505’s or 501’s. Iggy never, ever wears shoes. When outside of the Nightbreed’s sanctuary, Iggy wears a greatcoat with a large hood on it.
Personal Belongings: A giant box of classic and cult films of various genres, a small box containing what few citations Iggy could save and his rank bar, a dozen nets and fishing poles of various sizes.
