Rudy

This little guy came from nowhere really. His name is based off of Rudolph's (the reindeer lol) nickname in one of my journals that we did in 11th grade English. When I first drew him, he looked nerdy to me, which is why I remembered the nickname...in my journal, Rudolph was a nerd who couldn't get a date and stuff.

Name: Rudy
Species: Irken
Rank: Scout Trainee
Age: 10-year-old Smeet
Eye color: Red
Skin color: Jade
Likes: Meeting new people, homework, bright colors (but not pink or lime green), doodling on walls and desks, bugging people, petting kittens and puppies, and imitating others.
Dislikes: Cleaning, sitting still, magnets, and that his PAK wasn't encoded as Invader.
Bio: He isn't an Invader, but he was training to be a scout for reconnaissance missions. Part of his training had included a trainer taking them out to random moons and telling them to go on a scavenger hunt of sorts. One day, the group happened to be on Earth's moon and had split up to do their usual exploring. Rudy stumbled upon a human moon base and went to check it out. Being as curious as he was, he climbed into their rocket's cargo bay and couldn't get out again. Eventually, the humans returned and flew back down to Earth. Rudy knew where he was from the studies the trainer had them do about Earth's moon. He also knew Zim was invading there. He only traveled at night since he didn't have a disguise at the time. He made it to Zim's base 3 weeks later and got in through an open window. Zim found him when he came back from Skool and had a Zim fit...haha. He only gave Rudy a disguise because he didn't want to deal with him. After that, Zim told him to leave, but Rudy insisted that he let him stay because he could give Zim pointers and the like. Zim said he 'needed no pointers' and started pushing Rudy out the door, when the latter said he knew how Earth could be defeated. His lie changed Zim's mind and he was allowed to stay as long as he did everything Zim told him to do. So far, he has just been giving Zim fake steps to conquering Earth (i.e: "First, you have to paint an arch foe's house all different colors to show how superior you are.") and Zim has been doing them all, not realizing that he's actually allowing a 10-year-old to give him "commands".
