###* Horror *

• Giant Monsters *Absurd gore
• Pulp horror literature

Comics *

###* Attitudes he enjoys *

💥 Personality *

Bill is one of the club's strongest characters in terms of personality. Here's a breakdown:

###* Dominant / Controlling *

• He's the leader not by choice of the group, but because he imposes his will *.
• He loves giving orders, deciding on activities, and correcting others.

Arrogant *

• He considers himself the most informed and “pure” fan. He looks down on anyone who doesn't know something. ### Toxic but intelligent. His geeky knowledge is enormous: horror, sci-fi, comics, cult films, figures. The problem is how he uses it : to humiliate or to win. ### Sickly competitive . Can't stand losing. Even worse: he can't stand anyone opposing him. ### Cruel Humor His insults are quick, sarcastic , and very hurtful. He has no filter when he's upset. ### Insecure inside And this is the human side: Bill does NOT know how to socialize outside of the fandom. The club is the only thing that gives him identity and power. That's why he defends it so much.

Passionate to the point of obsession *

• What he loves, he loves with brutal intensity. His room is filled with posters, collectibles, VHS tapes, comics, and figurines. He can talk for hours about classic horror, Godzilla, expanded universes, etc.

Easily explodes *

• His temper is explosive. *Beyond a certain point, he shouts, insults, pushes…
• His fights with the club end in absurd wars.

Information about his family isn't super extensive (because the comics focus more on the club fights), but here's what we know:

Father *

• Never physically appears. *Mentioned indirectly.
• It is implied that he is not very present in her life.

Mother *

• Makes brief appearances. She has a tense relationship with him because Bill is disrespectful, yells, and argues. She's the one who sets boundaries when he's out of control.

Siblings *

Miranda Jane Dickey. _Rebellious sister with pink-dyed hair, hostile and aggressive personality who hates Bill

Tommy Dickey. -Bill Dickey's younger brother, physically similar to him
