Character Summary: Personality He's rough and rowdy with a loud booming voice that's great for hawking gems but never for normal conversation. Don't count on Ziggy to understand the meaning of a library voice or even indoor voice. A big show off with his music, loves the stage, and being under the spot light. Ziggy's somewhat gullible, believing anything positive said about him even in sarcasm as fact and easily duped in bartering his gems. It's probably why he's rarely stocked with the high quality gems. He's doting to whoever appears to take a liking to him, especially as a fan of his music but doesn't show much care or concern for those who aren't. He believes himself to be too busy and important to spent much idle chatter when the topic isn't about music or himself. Occupation and Hobby In order to be more than just a rocker that would sleep all day and jam all night long, Ziggy actually has a day job. Every couple of days, he pulls a cart full of diamonds and gems dug up by the other diamond dogs and trades them with neighboring towns for an assortment of goods. He accepts just about anything from fresh baked goods to interesting trinkets. Diamond dogs aren't exactly picky about what they get from the surface when living underground. Ziggy in particular just wants to be done with trading all the gems in his cart to hopefully get a lighter load and spent his free time with his much loved hobby of playing guitar and singing. He does have a soft spot for trading gems for musical instruments and fashionable collars though and will go into full bartering mode for them. Ziggy's true passion is rocking. His guitar's never far from his hand, be it hanging on the side of his cart or swung around his back. A rock emergency could happen at any time and he's certainly not going to be empty handed when that happens! When the time is right, or when no one's going to nag him for not doing his job, Ziggy likes to take out his guitar and start jamming as loud as he can. There no need for a mic with the natural volume of his voice for better or worse. Luckily his singing isn't just shouts and growls but more about diamonds and love instead. If there's not much in his cart, Ziggy will sometimes empty it and flip it over to use as a small impromptu stage for spur of the moment concerts. Someday, he'd love to form a real band and go touring in Fillydelphia and Talonopolis. Extra Ziggy owns a red/orange sunburst early archtop electric guitar similar to the Gibson ES-125 model that was made in Rockwington.
