Edgor Straussman

### Killer Style

Edgor sticks to dark blues, purples and grays, usually with sleeves that hang over his hands. He also has a lot of distressed black jeans and black trenchcoats, to wear while he feels distress.

### Monster Quirk

Edgor loves climbing, which is made easier due to his enhanced strength. He loves making his way to secluded areas high up just to think.

### Biggest Pet Peeve

Incessant, unrealistic optimism and naivete. Looking at the world with rose-colored glasses doesn't help anyone when there are real problems to deal with.

### Fav School Subject

Necromancy and the Mad Science. He loves to create, regardless of any medical ethics he may violate.

### Least Fav Subject

Physical Deaducation. Despite his strength, he isn't fast, which makes Dodgemaul rough for him.

### Favorite Color

Gray, like brain matter and mold. (It's actually purple, but don't tell anybody.)

### Favorite Food

Filet mingion. If they don't have that, raw carrots. He's an odd man.

### BFFs

Geniuses don't need friends... Putricia Q Thing

## Biography

### Personality

Edgor is a bitter, cynical, and moody manster. He has both a superiority and inferiority complexes, which battle each other frequently. He is very sarcastic to cover up his sensitivity and insecurity. He is a loner, or likes to think of himself as one. Edgor is a creative soul and is passionate about poetry and songwriting, and a big fan of Edgar Allen Poe and Allen Ginsburg. Edgor is very ambitious and wants to study to become a Mad Scientist, even though Igors are historically only meant to assist and occasionally sabotage Mad Scientists. This struggle between his desires and his scareitage creates a rift between him and his father, as well as other monsters and ghouls at school who are willing to follow their parents' footsteps. He tries to be aloof, but he secretly cares very deeply about those close to him, and when he trusts someone, it means a lot. Edgor is a pathological pessimist, always seeing the glass as half-empty, and finds that the best way to survive in this dismal world is by looking at it with all its flaws and learning how to deal with them. He is a bit of a control freak, especially when it comes to creative projects, and is prone to melodrama. His negative demeanor and odd physique set him apart from the other students, which he says he likes just fine.

### Appearance

Edgor comes up to 5'2 (5'5 with the hunch.) He has wide-set eyes and a long, broad nose with shaggy, greasy black hair that hangs in his face. He also has silver-rimmed glasses. He's stout, and his face is wide. He has bruised eyes from a very deliberate lack of sleep, and frequently wears eyeliner. He has a pallor, and is almost always frowning. He also has kyphosis, like his father, resulting in a hunch on his back.

### History

Initially, Edgor's father wanted to send him to Igor University, where he'd be a legacy student. However, Edgor had shown no ambition for switch-pulling, talking with a slur, or even gravedigging. Instead, he planned to be a Mad Scientist himself and refused to go to IU. His mother was supportive, but his father exploded, and the fight regarding education resulted in a black eye and an enrollment in a boarding school--specifically, Monster High. He still hasn't spoken to his father or responded to any of his letters.

## Abilities

* **Intelligence:** Igors, the humanoid mutant assistants, are known to be incredibly smart.
* **Invulnerability:** Igors are resilient to electrocution and fire. They have very thick skin (both literally and emotionally.)
* **Strength:** Igors have an enhanced amount of strength, to help with all that switch-pulling.
* **Backaches:** Most Igors have kyphosis (a hunch) on their backs, which aches occasionally.

## Relationships

### Family

Edgor's monster parent is Igor, a humanoid mutant assistant to many Mad Scientists, and his mother is Rivka Straussman, hence his surname. He comes from a Jewish background and is an only child. His relationship to his mother is very close and since his enrollment in Monster High he has called her twice a week every week, just to check in. His relationship with his father is strained, as Edgor has aspirations towards becoming a Mad Scientist himself, instead of carrying on the family business of Igoring.

### Friends

Though he says he has no friends, Edgor spends a lot of time with Putricia Q. Thing and Herman Culus, two other outcasts. They became acquainted after Putricia and Edgor were partnered on a project in Skullinary Arts. They both failed the project, but had fun, because they had met someone who they knew wouldn't judge them. Herman and Putricia are a joint deal.

### Romance

Edgor has a major crush on Putricia, but she has feelings for Herman. Ironically, Herman fancies Edgor. It's a whole mess. Additionally, Cassandra Cabra has a crush on Edgor, and once she found out his feelings for Putricia, she flipped.

### Enemies

He hates himself, life, and Herman Culus.

## Trivia

* Though most Igors have kyphosis, having kyphosis does not make a person an Igor. There are several other necessary factors that make up their mutant qualifications, and the kyphosis is just a superficial genetic trait.
* Edgor loves writing poetry.
* He loves cooking, and is a fantastic chef.
* I freaking LOVE *Igor* (2008) and that was a huge inspiration for this.
* His father is based heavily on the Igor from Young Frankenstein.
