Baxter

Baxter is an inventor/mad scientist, and a sinner demon. He is a planned character in Hazbin Hotel.

Appearance
Baxter's skin is a blue-grey tone. The fish fins on the side of his head, which resemble ears, share the same color. He has three cyan freckles dotted on both of his cheeks, underneath his eyes.

His hair is a dark royal blue, with blue-grey streaks and cyan dots running through it, styled short and swept back. He has pointed cyan teeth and his mouth curls at the sides when he grins.

He has cyan sclera with coral pink irises, and his eyelids are a dark royal blue. Baxter wears googles; the frames are coral pink and the lenses are mid-yellow. Baxter also wears a full-length green-grey laboratory suit; it has mid-yellow buttons down the length of it.

He wears a tiny greenish grey hat with an esca attached to it. The "light" is a yellow gradient, and there are two cyan stripes above it. He wears dark greenish grey gloves and boots.

Personality
Baxter's personality is considered still in development, but VivziePop likens him to the character Myron Reducto from the show Harvey Birdman in his mannerisms. He is a screechy, neurotic, fidgety, anti-social "gremlin" and an all-round mess. He is introverted and wants nothing to do with anyone, preferring to do science alone in peace.

Trivia

 * Baxter is a nerdy mad scientist. Dave Capdevielle joked that he would have beaten him up in high school.
 * When asked if Baxter died in the sinking of the Titanic, Vivziepop replied that the Titanic was how he was originally planned to have died, but after reassessing how closely she wanted to tie the show to any real-world events, specifically tragic ones, this was changed to a more fictional approximation of the Titanic, a large ship appropriate to the 1910s.
 * Being a scientist, Baxter likes laboratories. When asked if Baxter has a laboratory in the hotel, Vivziepop stated that he doesn't have one yet, as he's not a focal character in the pilot, but may do in the future, mentioning that Baxter would "probably make sure that happened".
 * According to Faustisse, Baxter has an underbite, referencing one of the traits that anglerfish commonly have.
 * Despite being male, Baxter possesses the trademark features of a female anglerfish, specifically the lure on his head.
 * Baxter was redesigned during development for the pilot due to his resembling other characters within the cast too closely, specifically certain Zoophobia characters and Alastor. VivziePop wished to have more variation in height and look within the main cast and so decided to lean harder into Baxter's 'mad scientist' theming.
 * Before his redesign, Baxter was much taller and more humanoid in appearance. Post-redesign, Baxter is now the second-shortest character in the cast after Niffty.
 * He is the first character from the Hazbin Hotel series to have official merchandise before his actual debut. In his case, an enamel pin.
