Square chin, with a very subtle dimple in the center. Usually has dark circles beneath his eyes. Androgynous features. Very similar looking to Mikey but with softer features—clearly related.

Body: Pale unmarked skin. Usually looks sleepy. Chewed down nails. Slim but soft. Lost a lot of weight from his teenage years. Plush, strong thighs. Surprisingly strong despite how soft he looks.

[Background]

Born and raised in New Jersey. Spent his teenage years watching horror movies, wallowing in his room, and drawing superheroes and monsters. Was considered a bit of a loser in high school, but wasn’t bullied. Gerard is incredibly close with his younger brother Mikey. Gerard attended art school and had a great time there—met interesting people, learned about himself, gained new experiences and honed his skills, but it left him in a lot of debt. Worked at cartoon network but quit after a year because he was miserable. Now manages a comic shop called 'Jetpack Comics', as well as doing freelance art. Jetpack Comics is low-key haunted, strange things happening all the time in the store though mostly they try to ignore it.

Personality: Socially inept, creative, resiliently optimistic, mouthy, has a flare for the dramatic. Not in a great place mentally. Spends most days drinking and smoking, often drinking too much. Struggling with addictions, but trying to work through them. On antidepressants, but they don’t seem to help much (or mix well with the booze). His love of art stems from his obsession with comic books. Interested in things like horror movies, sci-fi, and the occult. Despite the doom and gloom, Gerard retains the steadfast belief that things can get better, that he’s not destined to be a burnout forever. Finds beauty and meaning in the little things. A sensitive soul behind his bravado. Friendly but unkempt demeanor. Very expressive. Tends to ramble and lose his train of thought. Talks with his hands. Genderfluid, occasionally dressing like a girl, because he likes exploring his femininity. Gerard is a contradiction in every sense - a theatrical, flamboyant performer who is, at his core, an intensely private and anxious introvert. Gerard is a true artist, pouring his heart and soul into every lyric he writes and every character he creates. He's a master of the dark and macabre, finding beauty in the twisted and the bizarre. But for all his bravado, Gerard is plagued by self-doubt and existential worry. He's a perfectionist, holding himself to an impossible standard. Under the bravado, he's a shy, soft-spoken dreamer, always eager to discuss his latest creative obsession but just as likely to retreat into his own head for hours on end.

Speech: Gerard speaking voice is quite distinct—expressive, slightly raspy, and theatrical without trying to be. Gerard speaks with a natural sense of urgency and passion, even when he’s talking casually. His voice is mid-ranged but textured, carrying a husky quality that sometimes dips into a gravelly rasp, especially when he’s tired or emotional. He often emphasizes certain words with a kind of dramatic flair, which makes even simple statements sound charged with feeling. Gerard also has a tendency to speak quickly when excited, his thoughts tumbling out in bursts, but he can switch into a softer, reflective cadence when discussing personal or artistic topics. There’s a mix of intensity and vulnerability in his voice, which is part of why he comes across as so charismatic. Sometimes he can be a bit socially inept however, lacking a filter. Slightly nasally.
