Rod Sullivan

**Rod Sullivan** (Born December 1940) is the main antagonist of *Ice Scream* franchise and a minor character in *Evil Nun 2*. His primary goal in the franchise is to catch and kill overweight kids, specially J. and his friends, to realize his unethical experiments and turn the children into ice cream.

## Appearance

### As an Adult

Rod wears a cracked mask which originally belonged to Joseph Sullivan, who was his foster father, a small hat attached to the mask, a filthy white shirt with black buttons, a red bowtie, a blue apron with splotches of what look like ice cream stains, white gloves, white slacks with blood and unidentified dark stains, and black shoes.

### As a Child

Rod wears a plain white shirt and brown shorts with a belt. He has black hair, brown eyes, and has a characteristic blush on his cheeks. He wears brown shoes and has a pair of what seem to be mismatched socks, one white and one pink. He was also skinny, but gained a lot of weight after he ate Joseph's special ice cream.

## Overview

Rod is an extremely childish person, with a thirst for revenge. He is an ice cream maker who goes around town, selling ice cream in his ice cream truck. However, he is actually a serial killer in disguise. He hates obese children in particular, as he will capture them when they go to get ice cream. He is also rude towards skinny children, as he will feed them ice cream to turn them fat, for which Rod will capture them afterwards. As revealed in later games, Rod hates children because they all remind him of his past miseries.

## Overview (in-game)

He lures kids into coming to his truck by saying things such as "Oh hello, don't you wanna try some of my delicious ice cream?" and also by acting like a normal ice cream seller who is friendly. After that, he freezes them and puts them in his truck. He sings eerie songs usually about the kids such as "I'm going to catch some kids today, I'm looking for the chump plubby ones! I'm going to find me these chubby kids and then we're gonna make some ice cream fun! " Also "I caught all the kids, the stupid chubby kids! Look at them in their cage! I caught all the kids, the fat stupid kids now some ice cream will be made! \*laughter\* We're going to squeeze some kids today! We're gonna squeeze the chump flubby ones! We're going to squeeze some kids today... We're gonna make some ice cream fun! \*evil laughter\*"

## History

#### Early Life

Rod was born on December 31, 1940, in Eagle's Junior High School as the reincarnation of Elisa, son of Sister Madeline, and Nàzrat, and his mother's reaction was shock as she thought it was a girl. All of the Nuns considered his birth to be a miracle, according to a newspaper, and Rod was taken good care of by the nuns, sister Madeline raised Rod as a girl and made him an entire area for him to play, the pink room minigame was probably his favorite. On November 21, 1943, Sister Madeline decided to use a magic book to turn Rod's body into Elisa's, but it failed drastically due to Nàzrat's magical interruption. In 1944, as part of the nuns' agreement with William, Rod was given to Josep Sullivan. Rod also started living in Joseph Sullivan's House, As Rod grew up, he forgot who his mother was and where she might be. Rod lived a happy life and was an good and lovable little boy who wanted to know a lot about nature and was always curious. He also had a lot of dreams that he would find a good job, have many friends, and be a genius and popular figure, just like his foster father, Joseph Sullivan.

#### Getting into School

Starting in the late 1940's, Rod would attend to school, a school which had a Camping where Rod would play with some Wooden Horses in a Treehouse.

#### Eating Joseph's Special Ice Cream

In April 1953, Rod is seen playing with his food with the Prototype Mini Rod, when Joseph comes home from work, when Rod tells him that he managed to eat most of his food. Joseph then compliments him and says that eating well is how he'll become a big and strong man. Rod then gets excited and says that he'll become a big and strong man like Joseph, and have many friends, get a good job, and be as genius as Joseph. Joseph tells him that he is right, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't have to work hard. Rod then asks if he worked enough already, and when he can eat those "special" ice creams, which were locked in a crate. Joseph panics and tells Rod that he can never eat those special ice creams and tries to change the subject, without an explanation of why Rod couldn't eat them. He tells Rod to quickly get dressed for school and takes the key meant for the crate, before leaving for work, leaving a disappointed Rod staring at the crate with a red lock. Then, later, Rod is singing happily outside, most likely after school, and starts wondering who his mother is before he gets a flashback of Elisa dying and her soul entering Rod's body, Rod is surprised by this when he spots the key that Joseph probably dropped by accident, he later eats the special ice cream and gets fat, he later starts to get bullied. After that day, Rod starts getting more flashbacks of his life as Elisa and his old life.

#### Getting Bullied at School

In March 1954, Rod can be seen as a 13-year-old sobbing in the classroom. He couldn't understand why he was treated differently from his classmates (he was bullied by his classmates just because he was obese) and he says that he didn't eat so much to become fat. He also reveals that he did try his father's special ice cream, and that too, only once. Then one by one, his classmates start calling him "Chubby" and Rod says that he doesn't want to be different, during his school days, Rod swore revenge on his classmates.

The following month, April 1954, Nàzrat tried to comfort Rod by making a dream where adult rod would be able to talk to young rod who always got bullied for being chubbier than others, Rod tells his younger self that he sometimes forgets that he also used to be a small, helpless child who didn't know what to do and advises to his younger self that he (younger Rod) should work hard and save money to get away from the school as what he describes as "hell". Rod even advises the child that he should not feel down as he will eventually get ahead. But, when younger Rod asks his future self whether he should ask his father for help, Rod refuses and tells him that Joseph will not listen (possibly meaning that Rod tried to ask Joseph for help but it didn't work) and that there are many secrets that Joseph is hiding and hence, younger Rod should discover them as he grows up even though Rod also encourages his younger self that he will become an ice cream maker as good as his father. Finally, Rod tells his younger self that his mother will come for him as an unexpected help and that a letter from her will tell everything about his past, and younger Rod will eventually find a way to take revenge on his bullies. And the beating heart stopping probably represents Rod losing sympathy and being insensitive towards everyone when he grows up because of the torment he endured, Rod also quit school after that dream, listening to his future self's advice.

#### Start of the Series of Birthday Letters from Sister Madeline

on December 31, 1955, Rod comes home and starts crying about his father's death who died in a car accident according to the newspaper in his hand, while the driver at the time was unknown (it was later revealed to be Sister Philippa.) Then, an unknown woman (also Philippa) comes and knocks the door, asking if Rod is home. The woman explains that he has to go back to his mother because she can't visit him (since Nàzrat would kill Rod if she leaves the school before the 40 years are up). The woman then slips the letter his mom wrote and leaves. The letter congratulates Rod on having his birthday, and he continues getting these letters every December 31st from 1955 to 1965, but Rod never replies.

#### Receiving the formula from Sister Madeline

On December 31, 1956, his mother's letter tells him about how her school was made by the same company as his school, she also tells him that he can do the activities he does at school with her, in 1957 Rod starts to work in the Cafeteria, on December 31, 1957, the letter from his mother tells him that she is scared that she doesn't know where he is on his 17th birthday, and that she is working on a Magical formula that might be the key to getting him back, on December 31, 1958, the letter talks to Rod about how Joseph is not a good person as he appears, on December 31, 1959, the letter talks to Rod about how sister Madeline doesn't remember Rod's name or face, he later receives a letter that tells him that his old play area was re-painted and that Philipa says his name is Rod, on December 31, 1961, he gets a letter that gives him money sister Madeline got from "the business she runs" so that he can be helped, the letter also reminds Rod about how her secret ingredient is almost complete, on December 31, 1963, he gets a letter that shows sister Madeline is at her breaking point as she talks about how Rod doesn't understand that she is his guardian angel, Rod also apparently starts working as a janitor in the Cinema.

On December 31, 1965, Sister Madeline sends her final congratulatory birthday letter, saying that she gave up her hopes of her reunion with Rod. She tells him that she will give him the formula and help him defend himself, she also gives him her book that contains a lot of knowledge, including how to make the special ice creams with the Secret Ingredient his father used to make.

Rod then started to study on the book.

#### Between Joseph's Death and the Ice Scream Games

Ever since the death of Joseph, Rod worked on The factory to re-purpose it for his needs and to make it have the newest of the technologies, in order to create and manufacture his special ice cream, he improved the tower and the Generators. He created the Mini Rods to do all of the work for him, so he could focus on the kidnapping. He also made Boris and Mati, for which Boris would guard the Control Room and Mati would prepare and manufacture the special ice cream. Both robots are special compared to the other Mini Rods, as they are immune to weapons and traps as seen in the games. However, Rod notes in a journal in the offices area that Boris has a weakness of falling, and if that ever happens, the Mini Rods would be programmed to repair him, if necessary.

#### Using the metro station

Sometime between 1966 and 1969, Rod would take the Train to travel to certain places. It's unknown if Rod still uses it by the time of the Ice Scream franchise.

#### Start as Ice Cream Man

on September 27, 1972, Rod began to capture kids and turn them into ice cream in the Extraction Room. He managed to get the "machine" ready to make his victims fat. He started to test it out with child specimens, since he claimed in his Diary that they are good "laboratory rats," as they have a good amount of material, and nobody would miss them, it was around this time where Rod got his van, on January 3, 1973, he had plans to recreate Joseph's special ice cream to make a living out of it and retrieve his dignity back, from that day onward he starts working as an ice cream man and quit his job as a janitor in the cinema, around this time, he was in the Playground and saw a man playing with J, who is the man's son, on April 1, 1974, he sold his first special ice cream. Later, on April 8, 1974, he was surprised to see that all the kids that ate it became obese, and if he got the right amount of Secret Ingredient, having the second ice cream could kill them. Rod then started going to each of his classmates and gives them his special ice creams with enough secret ingredient to make them explode, And on July 15, 1975, Rod goes to the last living one of his classmates, The Security Guard, and tricks him into eating his special ice cream and exploding, with all of his classmates dead, he begins his terror of ice creams where he kidnaps children from around the City and turns them into ice cream, and Rod goes to the street where a person named J lives and give him the special ice cream with the necessary amount of Secret Ingredient to kill him, and from that day on, every day Rod would be outside of J's House.

#### Chasing J

According to Rod in Ice Scream Tycoon, he had been chasing J as early as the late 1970's or early 1980's, or even earlier.

#### Vacation

At a time when Rod had 16 rooms in The extraction room (in the ice Scream Games he has 19 judging by the number of the cages) Rod decided to take a nice vacation.

#### Getting a Crocodile Pet

Sometime in the 20th century, Rod "adopted" a crocodile and made her his pet.

#### Kidnapping Junior for Factory Renovation

In the late 1970's or early 1980's, Rod kidnapped a child and trapped him in the factory to renovate it while he does other things, he also forced the child to go by the name "Junior", he made Junior work for the factory, it's unknown what happened to him but it's possible that Rod killed him.

#### Comforting his Past Self

In the late 1970's or early 1980's, Rod slept and because of Nàzrat, he had that same dream he had a while ago, this time he was the adult Rod, he told his younger self that he doesn't need to worry, he tells him about his father having secrets that young Rod doesn't know about and he tells his younger self about his mother's letters.

#### Losing the keycard

in the late 1970's or early 1980's, Rod started to lose the Keycard a lot because of his childish and kind of clumsy nature, so Rod made an extra keycard in the parking so that he will take it if he ever looses his keycard.

#### The hamster

in the 1980's, Rod saw a sick Hamster, Rod took the Hamster to his factory so that he can work on curing him, Rod had made the plan to cure the Hamster, but apparently he would have cured the Hamster later.

#### Kidnapping Charlie

On December 27, 1982, Charlie walked up to Rod to have some ice cream. Rod decided to kidnap Charlie, however, he managed to escape with the help of his friend J, which Rod tried to stop but failed, the fact that a child managed to escape from him annoyed Rod a lot.

#### Between Ice Scream 1 and 2

Rod dug a big hole in preparation for the place his crocodile will stay in, he also made a door for the stall.

#### Kidnapping Lis

On December 28, 1982, he was annoying Lis by pretending that he wasn't giving the ice cream though in reality, he was trying to lure her to his van. Lis got distracted by J, who was watching the two from the window, and Rod managed to kidnap her. J later saved her; however, she didn't want to jump off as she was scared that she might hurt herself if she jumped from a moving van.

#### Between Ice Scream 2 and 3

*(Disclaimer: The order these take place in, and if it's 1982 or 1983, is unknown)*

Rod saw that his crocodile has laid eggs and is going to become a mother, he is proud of this and gets ready to bring her to his factory "when she calms down", he also gets a lock for the back of his van, Rod also saw that a Runner Pillar 2 was made and played it until he won with 399 points.

#### Kidnapping Mike

On January 3, 1983, Rod was humming in his van, when Mike walked up to him, armed with the Electro Gun. Mike was angry at Rod for kidnapping Lis a week back, as he saw her helpless as she was stuck in the van. Mike insults Rod, calling his van dirty, and threatens him multiple times, however, Rod simply chuckles at Mike. Mike demands Rod to release Lis, but Rod admits that he doesn't know who Mike is talking about, and that Mike was confused. Mike thought that Rod was lying, but Rod explains that he doesn't know what he is talking about since he never cares about who he captures and their names. Rod then gets angry and slaps the Electro Gun out of Mike's hands and grabs him, yelling at Mike about how he shouldn't have ever had the guts to face him, and how he wasn't even fat enough to be useful anyway, when Rod realized that there was a simple solution. He decided to feed Mike a special ice cream, which quickly turned him fat, and eventually, Rod kidnapped him. However, Mike manages to get free from the cage with the help of J, However, when the two, along with Charlie and Lis, who were rescued, were in the van excited to make it home once and for all, Rod stops and freezes all of them, with the exception of J, who hid, Rod took the Electro Gun with him to his factory upon seeing how futuristic it was, and got ready to Expirement on it to further learn how it works and use it to advance himself and be able to make futuristic stuff himself, Rod also brought his crocodile to the factory and decides to go back to J's house.

#### Kidnapping J. (Ice Scream 3 Ending)

Once J made it back home, using all three ingredients he collected throughout the games, he made himself obese since that was the only way to get caught by Rod, and so Rod froze him and sent him to the factory.

#### Rod's Factory (Ice Scream 4 - 7)

Rod plans to extract all of them into ice creams, and Rod starts repairing his van in the garage, However, J escapes from his cage, steals the Electro Gun, and gets rid of Boris by making him fall through the floor he broke and goes to the control room and frees his friends, which Rod heard, he chases them and Mike, Lis and Charlie go into the pipes, which leads them to different parts of the factory. Mike reunites with J and then with Charlie, Rod works on a new invention, but the kids save Lis, but Charlie is followed by Rod to the control room, and Rod then starts banging on the door, and at the same time, Sister Madeline arrives at the factory.

#### Ice Scream 8

In Ice Scream 8, Rod managed to break into the Control Room after a long while of banging on the door and trying to break it down, while the kids tried to keep it up by pushing against it. After the kids escaped through a secret vent, Rod bust through, only to discover it was too late. In anger, Rod exclaimed how he was getting angrier at the kids, and how he no longer wanted to turn them into ice cream, as he thought it was getting personal. He simply wanted to kill them, he used the Factory security system to make the factory go on lockdown, he broke a window to get to the kitchen, and he fixed Mati in a state where she can't move, he later fell asleep only to wake up when the alarm wakes him up, he witnesses how the kids escaped from the factory after they de-activated the generators while accidentally dropping his invention on the road and crash his van, he also saw how the Extraction Room had opened, in anger, he went to give the control room "a visit".

## Powers

Rod has been shown to have many unique powers and abilities, it is likely these were given to him by Nàzrat. These powers are:

* **Ice Breath**: Rod has been shown to be able to freeze his victims using an icy breath, though it isn't lethal. It is unclear whether this is a real power Rod has or a machine that is part of his mask.
* **Intense Durability**: Rod has also been shown to be able to survive being hit by a train, as well as other things. However, this seems to be inconsistent throughout the series as Rod is also shown to be susceptible to being hit by trash bags.
* **Intelligence**: Rod has been shown to be a genius, as he has the knowledge to create robots, he is also a successful chemist and engineer.

## Trivia

* He is the son of Sister Madeline, as revealed in Ice Scream 3.
* He had a sister named Elisa who died before he was born. However, she is Rod's previous life as *Ice Scream 5's* secret cutscene shows how Elisa's soul entered Rod's body when he was born, thus making him the reincarnation of Elisa.
* His mask uses liquid nitrogen to freeze people.
* Unlike Sister Madeline and Jeffery, he is unmarried. It is unknown why Rod is unmarried, though it is likely because he only cares about capturing children and has throughout most of his life as an adult, whereas Jeffrey and Sister Madeline were at least somewhat normal in the early years of their adult lives, and thus got married, before they went insane.
* Rod was born on December 31, 1940, and *Ice Scream 7* (and till date) is based in 1983, which means that Rod is 41-42 years old during the timeline of the Ice Scream Saga.
* Rod and his voice actor, Ben Sullivan have the same last name.
	+ This is because Keplerians wanted to show the Ice Scream Saga as a game franchise from a time of suburban American 80s vibe. At the time, they needed a last name for Rod when they met his now-current voice actor Ben Sullivan, they loved his last name a lot and felt that it would be a perfect name for Rod as a villain from the 80s.
* Rod has multiple masks, since:
	+ Joseph's original mask is in his factory which means that Rod's broken mask which earlier belonged to the former (it broke when he got run over by Sister Philippa's van) might have been a different one.
	+ One of the garages in the Parking Lot which he owns has a mask which exactly looks like the one he is wearing.
* It is possible that Rod's hatred for J comes from the hatred for J's father as in the drawings featured in the Secret Ending of *Ice Scream 3* shows that Rod was watching him, playing with his son, while hiding behind the bushes.
* Rod kills the kids he kidnaps and uses their remains for his special ingredient, which helps his ice creams make people fat.
* Rod has a pet crocodile in the Stall, it makes an appearance in *Ice Scream 3*. However, it appeared only once, and its unknown where that crocodile might be, though it's possible that it could be now somewhere near the stream behind Rod's factory.
* Rod was introduced as the second horror in *Horror Brawl:* *Season Two*.
* Rod and his crocodile also made an appearance as playable characters in Rodeo Stampede as a temporary collaboration between Keplerians and Yodo1 Games.
* Rod really loves to play childish minigames like Runner Pillar since he has a child's soul, Rod loved Runner Pillar 2 so much to the point that he didn't stop playing until he won.
* Rod is very smart, as he is both a chemist to make his secret ingredient, and he is an engineer to be able to make the Mini Rods, Mati, and Boris.
