Garrick

Garrick's classic look.

**Garrick** is a poltergeist Spectre and a member of the Vortox Pummelers. Being an adept thief, he assists the team in heists, and sometimes even returns with loot on other missions. He has a generally upbeat and exuberant attitude, often poking fun at his fellow crew members and always up for an adventure.

## Biography

Prior to joining the Vortox Pummelers, Garrick lived as a thief in the town of Belsigan on Earth. He was a thrill-seeker and would spend his time pulling pranks or causing chaos around the town, being a general nuisance. On top of this, he was also a kleptomaniac, and would take advantage of his abilities and invulnerability to steal goods from various townspeople, keeping his spoils in a definitely-not-cliché abandoned mansion that he also lived in.

Of course, this caused the townspeople to hate him, and he didn't exactly have any friends. The only shred of companionship he could find was at bars, and he never spent much time there, due to Spectres' naturally high alcohol tolerance. Garrick eventually found himself at an impasse—with everyone in the town aware of his mischief, him not wanting to commit major crimes due to fear of arrest, and having already stolen enough to crowd his entire residence, he was left with nothing to do.

One day, as Garrick wandered about, he looked up to the sky to see a spaceship landing, something he had never seen happen in Belsigan. He naturally gravitated towards the landing ship, with it eventually landing near the police station. The Vortox Pummelers entered, preparing to raid the station, and Garrick followed close behind, casually joining the group in their raid.

Garrick ended up joining the Vortox Pummelers and left Earth in search of adventure. He befriended Asier, a Shade Walker spectre, before his disappearance, and would later become friends with Victor Chomsky. In time, he was able to grow closer to the rest of the crew. As much as he would deny it, the companionship brought Garrick the fulfillment that he lacked. He would eventually decide to stay with the Pummelers, never looking back.

## Appearance

Like most poltergeists, Garrick's body takes a cylinder-like shape, rounded at the top and fades into an amorphous base at the bottom. He is a bright yellow color with detached hemisphere-shaped hands. His eyes are tall and pure white.

His clothes consist of a blue bandit mask and vest. His vest has pockets on both sides that can store a seemingly infinite number of objects. His body seems to follow cartoon-like rules, with his hands being able to open into humanlike hands, and his pockets being able to store unrealistically large objects.

## Personality

At his core, Garrick is a thrill-seeker. He is mischievous, and can be impulsive or reckless, sometimes putting the crew in danger without fully realizing it. He has little regard for strangers, and will steal or harm people with little hesitation (a contributing factor to his kleptomania). Despite all of this, Garrick cares for the crew deeply, as they gave him companionship like he had never had. This doesn't stop him from pulling pranks, though, as he and Chomsky had no problem pulling a huge prank operation on Emmett (though the destruction Garrick caused was not premeditated).
