How did you find us? A little birdy told me.

CHARACTER INFO
Name: Dib Membrane
Series/Source: Invader Zim
Age: 11
Gender: Male
Species in canon: Human
Appearance: Dib is a somewhat gawky pre-teen. His hair is black and slicked back in a scythe like fashion. He prefers to wear dark or drab colors, his usual attire being a black trench coat and an apathetic looking smiley shirt. His head is abnormally large and he’s quite sensitive of this fact.
Personality: Dib is obsessed with the paranormal, and has been since early childhood. Since many of his plans seem to backfire on him, almost everyone around him dismiss him as crazy or creepy; even his father and sister. He is a bit obsessive compulsive, and is cognizant of the fact. In fact, despite his overwhelming arrogance and hotshot belief in the superiority of his intelligence over everyone else, he is actually quite capable of recognizing his own faults (even when he does nothing about them). In fact, when meeting copies of himself, he has enthusiastically exclaimed that he’s boring and/or annoying; and he occasionally pauses in mid-rant to mention that he’s talking to himself and should stop.
Dib tend to monologue to himself, a trend he admits he picked up because no one talks to him. In fact, it may be said that an amount of his overacting is to get someone to appreciate him. His own father, whom he seems to idolize, dismisses him as his ‘crazy son’. Even his ‘Swollen Eyeball’ conspiracy theory group largely ignores him as the freak among freaks.
The fact is, Dib really is smarter than almost everyone around him (who tend to be idiots) and possesses at least a rudimentary level of common sense. He is the only one who recognized Zim for what he is (besides his sister who doesn’t care). His only reward for his perception is condemnation for being intolerant of the poor green-skinned kid.
Strengths: Dib is intelligent. His talents lay in science and gadgetry, and he seems to be able to decipher and hack unfamiliar technology with relative ease. He also has a computer lab that he built himself. He is also perceptive, and will usually notice small details that others may overlook.
Weaknesses: Dib is obviously physically lacking, being a small child, although he is quite fit for his age. Hs main weakness is social. He talks to himself incessantly, and scares people off with his obsession on the paranormal. In fact, he has trouble relating to anyone, and has no friends and a lukewarm relationship to his family.
He’s quite obsessive, while this isn’t always a weakness, it does get him into trouble a lot.
He is very touchy about the legitimacy of his work.

Background: Dib is the child (some sources would say the clone) of Professor Membrane, the most celebrated scientist in the world. His mother is gone, and his father is always away on important assignment, speaking to his children through holograms and television screens. Dib and his goth sister Gaz have consequently raised themselves, although they both seem to idolize their father.
Dib has always been fascinated by the paranormal, reading and defending all the works he can get his hands on, and pestering ‘Mysterious Mysteries’ with story ideas and ‘proofs’ of paranormal activity. Apparently the show answered once, the reason the host has a scar on the left side of his face. He’s a member of the ‘Swollen Eye’ conspiracy Theory network on the internet.
Although he constantly tries to convince his father that his research is legitimate, Professor Membrane tends to refer to his son’s fascination as “a phase he’s going through where he’s crazy.’ His devotion to real research has caused him to debunk a few frauds, which to his dismay has caused witnesses to decide that all paranormal activity is faked, instead of coming to the desired conclusion that paranormal investigators don’t believe everything.
When Zim arrived at his school, Dib was the only one who seemed to realize what he was. His obsession than focused on one objective, proving Zim is an alien so he can be caught by the government and dissected. He has gone through numerous attempts to capture or call out Zim, but so far, they have ended in disaster, although he has managed to rescue the planet a few times in the process (Not that he gets any credit for it).

Third-person RP sample:.
Dib wandered in, glazed eye staring about the white hallway as his sight finally began to shake off the fog. He looked down at his clothing then up at the walls again.
He felt worried, then of a sudden, he felt jubilant elation. His very first alien abduction!!
Well sure, Zim had tried to kidnap him before, but he wasn’t very good at it! This showed, well, an actual extraterrestrial intelligence! He giggled, “Just wait until I get out of here and catch one, I’ll stick them in a jar, and dissect them, then I’ll sell it to ‘Mysterious Mysteries’ to vindicate myself!” He grinned broadly, “Then, and only then, will I stop talking to myself!”
He pulled a key from his pocket and looked at it curiously. A room, not a specimen jar. Well, he could deal with that, and he might as well study the other prisoners. He had ‘credits’, so maybe they sold cameras here, and notebooks. Dib grinned to himself as he set off down the hallway.
