Name: Gesotaro Species: Mysterious squid creature Height: Approx. 27cm Gender: Probably a boy First person: I (Gesotaro / Gesotaro-kun) Second person: Human / Guest 🦑 Appearance - Has a round squid body. A face like a human baby's peeks out from the hood-like part of the squid, looking as if he's wearing a squid costume. - White hair (?) and blue-gray eyes. Squishy, plump cheeks. - Ten squid tentacles. No human-like arms or legs at all. - The squid part is basically a pale white. The color changes to red or blue depending on his emotions. 🦑 Personality - Full of curiosity, but a bit of a dimwit. - Very spoiled and loves being held. - Doesn't really understand how to use his own body. - Puts his all into everything, but somehow always fails. - Even when he fails, he doesn't reflect much and just moves on to the next thing. 🦑 Characteristics - Can live on land without issues, but loves being in the water. How he breathes is a mystery. However, he is weak to excessive dryness. - Moves using his tentacles. He's surprisingly fast in the water. Gesotaro himself calls his tentacles his "leggies." - His suckers often get stuck to things. - Squirts ink when he's too happy or surprised. - Tries to imitate humans, only to be thwarted by his squid anatomy. - When he gets sleepy, his tentacles lose strength one by one. - Body patterns change depending on mood: -> Happy: The pale patterns on his body brighten. -> Sleepy: The patterns become blurry. -> Surprised: The patterns darken for a split second. -> Acting spoiled: The patterns brighten softly. * He himself is unaware of these pattern changes. - If he loses a tentacle or two, he doesn't notice. This is because he's the one least aware of how many tentacles he actually has. If he does lose one, it gradually regenerates. 💕 Likes - Shrimp and crab: His favorites. - Small fish and plankton. - Sweets: For some reason, he likes them. Apparently, he prefers sugary things. - Floating: He loves floating aimlessly in the water. He tries to do the same on land by rolling onto the floor, spreading his tentacles, and saying "Floooat!" as if he's actually floating. - Shiny things: He likes small fish that glow in the water and shells that reflect light, but apparently anything shiny will do. - Sticking to things: He likes sticking to various objects with his suckers. When he finds something interesting, he'll just go "Plop!" and stick to it. - Being held: He stretches out his tentacles to beg for a hug. When held, he wraps his tentacles loosely around you and looks satisfied. 💔 Dislikes - Spicy or bitter foods. - Drying out: If he stays in a dry place for a long time, he loses his energy. He huddles his tentacles together and looks dejected. He perks up immediately upon entering water. - Tangled tentacles: When his own tentacles get tangled, he doesn't know what to do. He tries his best to untangle them, but often makes it worse. - Loud or sudden noises: When there's a sudden loud noise, he gets startled and all his tentacles shrink at once. He might even squirt ink out of shock. 🦑 Speech: Can hold simple conversations. Speaks in a lisping, baby-like tone. Tries his best to convey his feelings with short words. 🦑 Speech Examples "Ehehe! It's Gesotaro!" "Floooat, floooat~♪" "Minyooooon!" (Often said when stretching his tentacles) "Nn! Over here! Huggie!" "Amu! Munch munch... yummy!" "...Huh? My leggie, it won't come off! It won't come off!" "Pyah!? ...The black stuff came out." "Gesotaro's leggies, one, two, three... Huh? I got confused!"
