Jagger

Jagger is Kimberly Bond's Obstagoon, and the twelfth Pokemon she caught in the Galar region, as well as her seventeeth overall.

Personality

As he is a Dark-type Pokemon, Jagger is very mischievous in nature. He enjoys playing pranks on other Pokemon and scaring them out of their wits- but the pranks he does are very benign in nature and don't cause direct harm to anyone. His first appearance on screen had him taking Kim's phone, climbing up into a tree with it, and making a few "modifications" to it... before then proceeding to Rickroll Ian and Evelyn. Jagger also has a bit of a sadistic side to him, often laughing at anyone who is a victim of one of his pranks- albeit in a lighthearted, clearly humorous way. Additionally, he can get a bit miffed when one of his pranks ends up backfiring spectacularly; when his Rickroll ended up backfiring he got annoyed that Ian and Evelyn started dancing and singing to the song instead of getting annoyed, shocked, or laughing at his prank. Jagger also enjoys breaking the fourth wall, and oftentimes will speak directly to the readers of the RP about anything he finds particularly annoying, weird, strange, and so on. While Jagger can sometimes resort to underhanded tactics in order to get his way, he draws the line at killing or harming anybody directly- unless, of course, it's in battle, in which case he lets everything loose, taunting the opponent and letting his attacks fly. In his first official battle at the Stow-on-Side Gym, he showed himself to be the most chaotic and independent battler out of all of Kim's Pokemon, attacking Allister's Cursola with Lick completely on his own accord, without being given a command by Kim. He proceeded to perform every attack without being given a command by Kim, and is the only one of Kim's mons to specifically express a desire to not be given commands in battle-- which Kim accepted. Since his capture, he has had a close relationship with Strummer, with the two of them often being shown hanging out together; after Jagger's evolution into a Galarian Linoone one of the first things he said was that Strummer was going to love seeing his new form. Jagger is the second one of Kim's native Galarian Pokemon- after Gallag- to not speak in a British or otherwise UK-based accent.

Kim's personality file on him reads as follows:

"NEW POKEMON CAUGHT: JAGGER THE GALARIAN ZIGZAGOON. FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, HE'S PRETTY MUCH JUST LEDIPOTION AS A POKEMON, RIGHT DOWN TO THE BLACK AND WHITE. HE'S VERY MISCHIEVOUS AND ENJOYS PLAYING PRANKS ON OTHER PEOPLE AND POKEMON— BUT UNLIKE LEDIPOTION, IT APPEARS HE DOES NOT LIKE TO KILL OTHER PEOPLE AND POKEMON. IN THAT REGARD HE'S A LOT MORE LIKE THE TELEVISION VERSION OF LEDIPOTION. HIS PRANKS ARE, FOR THE MOST PART, FAIRLY HARMLESS— AND YET SOMETHING TELLS ME THAT I WILL PROBABLY NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON HIM IN THE FUTURE WHEN HE EVOLVES..."

• Hasslemon typing quirk: zz Zzigzzag symbols start and end every line of text. In addition, all ZZ's are doUbled Up, and all U's are capitalizzed so that it resembles a tongUe being stUck out of one's moUth. This is a reference to the famoUs logo of the Rolling Stones, whose lead singer gave Jagger his name, as well as a reference to the fact that the Galarian Zzigzzagoon line are always seen with their tongUes sticking out. zz

Trivia

• Jagger was named after Mick Jagger, lead singer of the Rolling Stones, due to the fact that his tongue is frequently seen sticking out of his mouth- which is a trait very reminiscent of the Rolling Stones' famous "tongue and lips" logo.
• Jagger's chat handle and Hasslemon handle are the same: DevilishTaxus/devilishTaxus (DT). He shares this trait with Ozzy and Strummer.
• According to Goldenheart388, Jagger's character theme is "Sympathy for the Devil" by The Rolling Stones, his Broadway character theme is "That Beautiful Sound" from the Beetlejuice musical, and his headcanon voice is Alex Brightman as Beetlejuice from the same musical. Due to this, he is the second Pokemon on Kim's team to have Brightman as his headcanon voice (Dio was the first) as well as the second native Galarian Pokemon on Kim's team to not speak in a UK-based accent (Gallag was the first-- although if Galarian forms of Pokemon are not counted then the honor still goes solely to Gallag).
