Rock

Rock (ロック) is a rockhopper penguin living on Iceberg Isle. He is a supporting character in Ice Scream.

Physical Description
Rock is a rockhopper penguin sporting a red neckerchief and is often seen carrying a gun or a fishing pole, as well as a cigarette.

In his humanoid form, he wears a black bust jacket over a gray shirt, a pair of black gloves, gray pants held by a black belt, black shoes, and a dog tag. He is often seen with a cigarette in his human form as well. His genderbend version has a tattoo, whereas Rock does not.

Personality
Rock has a foul mouth and an even fouler disposition. He is hot-tempered and is 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, as well as an alcoholic. There are often cigarette butts and a bottle of beer on his coffee table. 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 Met's "Bloody Radio Show." 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 and has a poster of one hanging in his house. His sides are his weak points.

Background
Rock is a resident of Iceberg Isle and a fisher.
