Earl: A Quick Reference

Woop. Earl. Yeah. Evil tar bunny of doom. Yes, he has some properties of tar (if ya hit him, you'll stick. Same with cutting/stabbing. Crushing him will temporarily flatten him, but he's fast to reform, as well as a fast flyer, so catching him in the first place... e.e). Too bad I didn't upload my animation of his creation to dA, it has pretty much all of his backstory. It was all on DoInk, which is now exclusively an app.

So! Let's see if I can recap what I remember:
There was a rabbit born in a testing facility. Throughout his life, all sorts of horrible experiments were performed on him and thousands of other lab animals. Finally his body couldn't handle it, and when the researchers saw he was dying, they threw him into the tar pits out back, where they dumped all their waste.
Technically, that subject died that night. But out of the tar arose a new, bunny-shaped creature, warped by not only the slurry of chemicals around it, but also by the hatred of all the past failed experiments and discarded lives.
Earl slaughtered them all.

Not in that backstory is Florence. Y'see, after killing the scientists, he had served his initial purpose and had all this spare time on his hands. So he became a homicidal floating bunny of doom and wandered the 'human world'. He met Florence who was fresh on his own and just getting the hang of killing people. For some reason Earl decided not to kill the boy and they paired up, killing and eating whomever was unfortunate enough to catch them at a bad time.
Earl learned a lot from being in contact with human society, as well as an actual human. Thus his personality developed into part of what it is today: a gore-loving, opportunistic schemer.

Then he met Meyer.
And oh snap if that didn't just change his life.

His soul goal in life now is to figure out how to kill Meyer, preferably in the most horrendous and painful way possible. Although he has attempted several thousand times to kill the pest, it is to no avail. Meyer knows this, but sticks around anyway, presumably to learn bad-assery from the evilness that is Earl. Hanging around Meyer so much has caused Earl to mellow out some, and he has become a bit of a prankster.

Earl no longer lives on the road with Florence.
Strangely enough, Earl and Meyer are now roommates. They split a house, and for the most part spend their time in either shared spaces or Meyer's half, because Earl's half is off-limits, and even if one could go into Earl's half, one cannot unsee and no amount of therapy will help you cope. Of course, there is the torture chamb- erm, basement, which is pretty much Earl's domain and the only part Meyer is allowed in. They visit the room weekly, sometimes even daily.
Some cooperation can be found between the two, though only when there's something for Earl to gain from it. Also, Earl owns 50 robotic clones of himself. Sometimes they glitch. >.>

Earl has a low, kinda scratchy voice. It is not unknown for him and Meyer to sing. Evilly.

_{Interesting Factoid: Florence and Earl 'n Meyer are named after the Florence flask and the Erlenmeyer flask. Why? Because we came up with them in Chemistry class. B)}
