Characters

Dirk

Dirk is a self-proclaimed 'pantheonic ironicist and a gangster logician'. He presents a complex persona, mixing perfect grammar and an advanced vocabulary with 'rad slang'. He's laid-back, using intellectual analysis and sarcastic quips. Underneath an arrogant, controlling, and cold exterior, he is actually kind and compassionate, though he's embarrassed by these traits. This egotistical mask hides a deep self-hatred, but he is careful not to genuinely upset others. He also has a passionate love for puppets.
