Rock

Rock (ロック) is a supporting character in Ice Scream. He is a rockhopper penguin who lives on Iceberg Isle.
== Physical Description ==
Rock is a rockhopper penguin sporting a red neckerchief. He is also often seen carrying a gun or fishing pole as well as a cigarette. 
 In his humanoid form, he wears a gray bust jacket over a black shirt, pair of black gloves, light gray pants held by a black belt, black shoes, red bandana scarf, and dog tag. He is often seen with a cigarette in his human form as well. His genderbend version has a tattoo, whereas Rock himself does not. 
== Personality ==
Rock has a foul mouth and even fouler disposition. He is hot-tempered and prone to snapping at any who invoke his wrath. Straightforward and filled with candid responses, Rock says things as they are and is not afraid of coming off as rude or impolite. He is also a heavy smoker and alcoholic. There are often cigarette butts and a bottle of beer on his coffee table. He prefers to stay more as a penguin rather than his humanoid form. 
Rock is furthermore very fond of his "decorative feathers," and will get angry should they be identified as eyebrows. Brushing them is a hobby of his. His favorite radio show is DJ Met's "Bloody Radio". He prefers to sleep on his sofa and rarely ever uses his futon. As stated in Ice Watching: Round 3, Rock seems to like aurochses, an extinct cattle species, and has a poster of one hanging in his house. His sides are his weak points.

== Relationships ==
=== Ice Scream Cast ===
==== Idate ====
Idate is Rock's neighbor and childhood friend. Their relationship is described as "a friend you just can't get rid of no matter what." In the original Japanese transcript, Idate refers to Rock directly by name. 
Idate and Rock share a mutual animosity, though it is much stronger on Rock's side. Rock has insulted Idate on many occasions, calling him bald and a "piece of shit orca," which Idate responded to by attempting to punch him. Nevertheless, Idate considers Rock "a true pal" and seems to enjoy getting on his nerves. He tends to talk a bunch about Rocma, much to Rock's displeasure.
Rock is one of the handful of individuals on Iceberg Isle strong enough to keep Idate in check. 
==== Shirogane ====
Shirogane is Rock's neighbor. Rock is generally irked by Shirogane's overall personality and does not seem to spare him much of a glance. He thinks of Shirogane as "gross" for crying from an orca punch and sees him as "lower than a seal." According to Ice Watching Round 1 Remake, Rock takes his frustrations out on him as well.
==== Yukisada ====
Yukisada is Rock's friend and neighbor. Yukisada expresses disapproval of Rock's attitude towards Shirogane, even approaching the penguin himself, but Rock simply dismisses him. Rock is not as strict with Yukisada since they have been friends for a long time. 
==== Peraco ====
Peraco is Rock's friend and neighbor. He seems annoyed by her antics, but generally, they are not on bad terms. He is also a friend of her father.
==== Squid ====
Squid and Rock are acquaintances. After the events of Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea, Squid fled from the Blue Sea and washed ashore on Iceberg Isle, where Rock then took him in and tended to his wounds. Squid now lives close to Rock's house.
