Daxter

By Sarah Caughey

Gender and Gender Behaviour

• Male• The dream sequences in the game all depict Daxter as a very

macho character, like brave heart and a Viking. • Very confident with the ladies

Stance and posture• Nonchalant, confident, stands very straight, holds his weapon up

high. Most of the time he has his chest puffed out. Neck is usually up high, maybe to make himself seem taller.

Kinaesthetic• Usually Daxter moves fairly ‘jumpily’ bouncing a lot as he takes

steps, he usually walks on two legs (humanoid) except when he is crawling when he goes down on all fours, and appears to try and completely flatten himself and get as close to the ground as he can.

Facial expressions• Daxter seems to have a fairly expressive face, with fairly extreme

expressions, almost cartoonish.

Voice• Daxter has a kind of squeaky voice, one that is very hard to take

seriously, which isn’t helped by the fact that his tone of voice is usually either joking or sarcastic. He has an American accent

Proxemics• In the psp game Daxter doesn’t seem to get close to anyone, even

the girl he is slightly interested in. In previous games Daxter got closer to his love interest Tess, and used to ride around on his Best Friend (Jak’s) shoulder, however when Jak is in the PSP Daxter game Daxter doesn’t ride around on his shoulder.

Clothing• Daxters clothing almost looks steampunk, especially the goggles

and the leather straps across his chest.
