CHARACTER
Character Name: Portugal/Madalena Almeida
Canon: Hetalia
Timeline: Portugal, at this point, is only various concept sketches; we know the character exists but we don't know anything else, including gender since concept sketches of both genders have appeared. However, I am bringing Portugal in from the present day.
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: Largely irrelevant; Portugal has no real reason to interact with Canada or Wales, so there's no reason for playercest.

Personality: Portugal, at first glance, appears to be a cheerful, slightly mischievous woman, and in large part this is true. She's a bit of a matchmaker when she's bored, so watch out for her to meddle in other people's relationships if she has nothing better to do. The majority of her people are Roman Catholic, and she herself is still devout, though she doubts that she has any chance of heaven should she die. This bleak opinion of herself is something she keeps well-hidden, however; as said above she tends to act happy.

She does, however, have a darker side. After all, she was once an empire, and while she tended to be a stern mistress rather than a cruel one, imperial ambitions require a degree of ruthlessness. Another example of this is during the Iberian Union (when Spain ruled Portugal), when she did her best to break up the personal part of the Hapsburg Union, i.e. Spain and Austria's marriage. Her goal in that case was the hope that a personal break would eventually affect politics, and that her brother would lose enough strength that she could be free again. It failed and her people's independence was finally achieved with French aid, but at the time it seemed like a good idea to her and she didn't care if someone got hurt in the process. Today, though, she has largely let go of this ruthless side – it can appear in extreme situations but it's rarely needed now. She's working on finding her identity in this modern world, after decades of dictatorial and Church control kept her firmly entrenched in older traditions.

Portugal also has a defiant side to her nature. As a female nation, she's often faced trouble from her leaders in a culture that historically placed women as lesser. This led, for example, to her disguising herself as a boy to fight in wars – particularly wars against her brother, Spain. Today it mostly shows up as a contrary side to her nature; she loves to argue and play devil's advocate. Sometimes she disagrees with someone or tells them no simply for the fun of riling them up or starting an argument.

CHARACTER
Name: Remus John Lupin
Canon: Harry Potter
Timeline: A couple years after the First Wizarding War.
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A

Personality: : Remus Lupin is a half-blood wizard who is considered by many to be a kind and approachable individual who always has a smile on his face. Indeed, he is a gentle and good-natured young man who is intelligent and perceptive, possessing an uncanny ability to read people’s emotions and guess what’s on their minds. His patience knows no bounds as he’s calmly observant and a polite listener, which has contributed to the wisdom he possesses and is willing to pass on to others seeking advice. He is quite knowledgeable in many subjects to do with magic due to his studies at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, particularly in Defense Against the Dark Arts. He is also quite often depicted as having an insatiable love of chocolate.

However, all is not what it seems on the surface. When Remus was a small child, he was attacked and bitten by a werewolf, which effectively turned the young boy into one. On every night of a full moon, Remus is forced to undergo the agonizing transformation into a blood-thirsty dark creature and lose his human mind. In a transformed state, werewolves desire to spread their curse through their victims by violently attacking them. When segregated from humans, werewolves will often turn to biting and clawing themselves out of frustration, causing more pain and suffering for the inflicted individual. Some even lose their humanity completely and are taken over by the dangerous and hostile tendencies outside of their transformations.

Due to the horrendous nature of werewolves, wizarding society has strong prejudices toward anyone affected with lycanthropy. Because of this, Remus harbors feelings of self-shame and a fear of rejection. While at school, he would often turn a blind eye when his friends – James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew – would bully a fellow student, despite being against such treatment, because of his desire to be accepted by other people. Although he never partook of the bullying, he would quietly feel guilty for not doing anything to stop it. This branded him the mature one of the group, though it can hardly be said that Remus didn’t participate in playing pranks and causing trouble with the others, for he certainly isn’t without a good sense of humor. He can be witty and sarcastic with a penchant for mischief, characteristics associated with being one of the Marauders during his time at Hogwarts.

The on-going transformations have caused stress and weariness to take its toll on Remus’s body, making him sick and exhausted. But despite the hardships he’s had to endure for years since his youth, Remus remains strong-minded and tactful in being able to see the good in almost everything and forgiving of ignorance with an understanding of the reasons people fear werewolves as they do. However he often lacks self-worth, submitting himself to thinking he is too dangerous to be around people and has trouble opening himself up to others. His friends became his pillar of support. Even when he tried to hold on to the secret of his lycanthropy – out of respect for Dumbledore’s wishes and his own shame for being what he was - his friends found out about him being a werewolf, but instead of abandoning him they each became Animagi – wizards who could turn into animals – in order to help make Remus’s transformations less excruciating. This bold act of friendship strengthened their bond and became the happiest Remus had ever been in his life.

Even though he is naturally calm and level-headed, Remus can become frighteningly aggressive when provoked or angered. He is a quick thinker and a powerful wizard, and his cheerful and mellow demeanor should not be taken for weakness. He has shown to have a sadistic side toward people who have wronged someone he cares for. Despite his feelings of self-loathing, he is brave and loyal to his friends, and he is willing to face extreme perils to protect those he loves.

After the First Wizarding War and the supposed deaths of three of his friends and betrayal of another, Remus has struggled to make ends meet. Discrimination toward werewolves has made it hard for him to find work and support himself, where before he had been relying on his friends’ help. Still, he courageously holds on to the belief that there will one day be light shed on his otherwise terrible life.


First Person: [Remus steps off the train and looks around the seemingly deserted platform with a mixed expression of exasperation and confusion. It did not appear anything out of the ordinary to him except that there weren’t any people around either coming or leaving, only him.]

Is anybody there? [When no one answers, he circles around to check the train and feels something press against him in his coat pocket. He reaches inside and pulls out what appears to be an old-fashioned pocket watch, one he has no recollection of owning. Curious, he opens it and is surprised to see a small screen of some kind instead of a clock’s face.]

Interesting little gadget. Must be a muggle’s device. But how on earth did you wind up in my pocket?

[He checks for a name, sees none, and sighs. He then checks to make sure his wand is with him then looks out toward the city.]


Third Person: Alone. It was a dreary feeling but one Remus was well acquainted with at this point. Still, in spite of the fact that no one appeared to be around, there was the distinguishable feeling of another presence, one that made up for the general lack of human contact, as if the city itself were alive and bustling with activity and emotion.

Remus shook his head. He was still weary from the painful events of the night before last that had induced the sleep he had woken from, and it was obviously taking a toll on his mind. He looked around again and saw quite clearly that the city was deserted. However he had gotten on the train that brought him here was certainly anyone’s guess, though Remus was willing to gamble on a few explanations, the simplest one being he must have fallen asleep on what he thought was an out of order train again only to wake up and find himself magically whisked away to some unknown location.

Still safer than sleeping in the streets, he supposed.

What was odd, though, was that he didn’t feel the slightest bit compelled to return to the train. Instead he was quite curious to see where his unplanned departure had brought him. The watch (which he was reduced to calling it even though opening it had made it obvious that was not what it was) in his hand seemed to buzz with his anticipation to find out more about this place. If he was lucky he would find a directory telling him where he was exactly and from that point, if there turns out to not be much else to explore, maybe he could apparate back to…well…it wasn't like he had much else to do.

Remus began walking toward the entryway that led away from the station, his tired yet inquisitive eyes searching the area for signs of civilization or just plain signs in general.

CHARACTER
Name: AJ Crowley
Canon: Good Omens
Timeline: Present-day
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A

Personality:
First and foremost, Crowley is a demon, or, better known as 'an Angel who did not fall so much as saunter vaguely downwards.' A rather highly-regarded fallen angel who has lived on earth since the time of its creation, Crowley has very little free will when it comes to his 'Superiors' who take residence in the Below. It has been shown a few times that he is not only incapable of disobeying any orders given to him by the 'higher ups' in the Below, but he seems to do what he's told with a hint of reluctance or discontent. When told to deliver the Spawn of Satan to the order of the Chattering nuns, he tries to talk his way out of it with two dukes of hell, only to give into those orders in the end.

Unlike most other demons in hell, Crowley is a bit more adjusted to life on earth and life among humans. So far as he is concerned, humans can be far crueler to each other than demons and things from the Below could ever be. He's fascinated by new technology, as well as things that other demons pay little or no attention to, driving an old Bentley car to get from place to place instead of another more demonic way of travel, as well as using human technology to do his 'job'. He always keeps a brand new computer in his house, always upgrading to the newer and better grade machine when it is put on the market, but it is said that he only keeps it up to date because it seems to be 'something a normal human would do'. The fact that he seems to appreciate and even like humanity is considered a major failing in a demon, according to the 'Dramatis Personae,' but he doesn't seem to ever give a damn.

Because he appreciates the idea and existence of humanity so much, Crowley often finds himself irritated and bored with the way most demons think. Old thinkers, with old ideas and old ways of going about things, he feels that because the demon race are not 'up and with' the constantly growing and evolving human race, that their ways of dealing with humans and, more so, dealing with damning the souls of humans are old-fashioned. They are, in his opinon, in desperate need of finding new ways to bring them to hell. A meeting with two old dukes of hell, Ligur and Hastur, he brings up the point (in his own head, at least) that picking away at one soul at a time was meaningless. Yes, it took skill and was pretty well an art, but with the population on earth as large as it was becoming, he feels that it was a waste of time. Crowley prefers to bring a large number of souls a little closer to Satan, rather than to consume one person completely with temptation after a few years. The old thinkers, Ligur and Hastur thought nothing of the fact that Crowley tied up all of the phone lines in London during lunchtime. When, if they were up to date with technology in the here and now, they would have realised how many human souls this would have tarnished via rage and frustration from not being able to make important and perhaps even vital phone calls.

Crowley is actually better known as the snake that tempted Eve into eating the fruit of knowledge some 6000 years ago. As 'The world's most approachable demon', Crowley actually doesn't have the stomach for the sort of cruelties that other demons are capable of, or even what humans are capable of either. Many times he says that humans are far more imaginative than demons are, and that the Below should shut down Dis and Pandemonium, because all the demons were up on earth, 'seeking asylum'. He does his job as a demon, as he did deliver the antichrist and in the past, getting under Aziraphale's feet, however, it's said that things like the Spanish Inquisition had drove him to drink for a week. Showing that, perhaps, he is not as cruel as one might think. In his opinion, humans are far better at causing each other misery than any demon could, anyway. Crowley is also extremely level-headed, showing little or no panic in dangerous or tense situations. The two dukes of hell, sent to capture and see the snakelike man brought back to the Below for screwing up an important mission could not even phase him. He manages to deal with them as if they were nothing more than a minor inconvenience before going about his business as if nothing had happened.

In the very beginning of 'time,' Crowley makes a joke at Aziraphale that he would find it funny if he had done the right thing in the Garden of Eden. That perhaps, persuading Eve to eat the Apple of Knowledge was the right thing to do, while Aziraphale's act of giving away his flaming sword was the wrong one. This suggest that, perhaps, Crowley doesn't think that things he does are wrong, or that he just doesn't think of some of his actions as being wrong. This is shown again when he is feeding ducks with the angel, and almost causes one of the ducks to drown by making the animal sink under the surface after eating a bit of bread. He only releases whatever sort of hold he had on the animal when Aziraphale scolds him for it. At the same time, Crowley IS capable of doing some good. Bringing a dove back to life after suffocating, convincing Aziraphale to become the Antichrist’s godfather to directly attempt to prevent the apocalypse from happening, as well as being ready to fight against Lucifer, the King of Below alongside Aziraphale when it seemed like he was about to come up onto earth when his son did not cause the apocalypse.

The last notable trait about Crowley is that he's a bit of a perfectionist. His human home, which he barely ever uses, is spotless from top to bottom. Not a speck of dust or dirt to be found. His music, books, and movies all arranged neatly on his shelves in alphabetical order, arranging them as such a sort of habit when he becomes bored. He also has the most luxurious, verdant, and beautiful houseplants in all of London, which is something he takes pride in. Having heard on the radio that plants grow better when spoken to, he has made habit of not only talking to his houseplants, but threatening them. When one becomes a little lackluster, it's leaves not so green, or something of the sort... he takes the plant around to all the others in his house, saying 'He just couldn't cut it. Say goodbye.' to the other plants in the house before taking it away, never to be seen again. This has seemed to have quite an effect, as his plants are in the most beautiful form one would ever see.

CHARACTER
Name: Sirius Black
Canon: Harry Potter
Timeline: During the war, before James and Lily's deaths.

Personality:
Due to the fact that his friends are the only real family he has, Sirius will do anything to protect them, both from physical and verbal attacks. He always seems uncaring and aloof to everything around him, largely due to his arrogance, but Sirius can actually be very perceptive, and truly is concerned with the state of things around him. He’s not one to stand by and let some injustice happen to others, although this is a part of the hypocrisy that laces his personality as he, himself, often performs injustices towards Severus Snape, though he’d never admit to it.

Sirius’ arrogance stems largely from the fact that he is a gifted student, with things coming very easily to him; this combined with his good looks have given him an arrogant streak that some people have a hard time looking past. Other than the obvious tendency to be a bit of a troublemaker, the things that get him into real trouble are his stubbornness and his explosive temper, the only things he ever had in common with his family. Generally speaking, Sirius can be fairly laid back and easy-going. Rarely does he ever worry about ‘superfluous’ things - such as grades or opinions of others - and will ignore anything he doesn’t deem ‘worthy’ of his attention, another Black trait.

Sirius is the type who hates anything that could even possibly be considered dull; consequently, he’s always looking for something to entertain him, which often leads him into trouble. His pranks generally only end up in property damage and surprise for the unlucky target, but Sirius has been known to take things too far, as with his near fatal prank on Snape while they were in school.

While he is often considered a big flirt - because he is - his flirting is more often than not just a playful past time: something he does more for entertainment and attention than anything. Unfortunately, it often leads to dashed hopes and broken hearts in the female population (and some males). Despite his flirting, if Sirius were to ever be in an actual relationship he’d be very loyal to that person, considering he’d have to trust them very much to actually consider being with them. The fact his parents betrayed his trust at such an early age has given Sirius major trust issues while growing up. While he may be a social person and have several friends, he only really has a few close friends. Because dating someone requires a lot of exposing of oneself, getting close, and reliability, Sirius would be very picky about whom he chose to share that much of himself with.


First Person:

I didn’t mean for it to be like this.
It was just supposed to be…..I don’t know, it was supposed to be fun, I didn’t think the git would actually try to go and see Remus. I didn’t think he’d go so far; he was supposed to get scared and turn around.

[ He sighs.]

Instead everything just went wrong. Not as wrong as it could’ve been, but wrong enough. It was stupid, I know that now…wish I could’ve thought of that sooner, but, I was just too…wrapped up in the game of it. I could’ve gotten Snape killed, not that I care what happens to him, but, what that would’ve meant for Moony…it wasn’t worth it.

The worst part isn’t knowing I was a stupid bloody twat and it’s not the things James and Remus sad to me…it’s the fact they’ve stopped saying things to me. It’s like….I don’t exist anymore…and I hate that feeling. But not as much as I hate the fact that I know I betrayed them. For that reason, I know I deserve what I’m getting…I just wish I could change the whole thing.

Third Person:
Sirius stared out the window in the 7th year Gryffindor boy’s dorm. This was it. Most of his things were already packed away and ready for when he and the rest of the Marauders get on the train the next day. This was his last night in the place that was more of a home than anywhere else ever had been. Sure, he wasn’t going to miss the rules and most of the teachers, certainly not the homework, but those were only a fraction of what he’d done here.
Staring out over the grounds of the school, watching as some people lay out on the grass or near the lake; it only served to remind him of all the adventures he’d been through with James, Remus, and Peter. He’d miss it. The nights of the full moon, laying out under the tree by the lake, sneaking around at night, trying their damnedest not to get caught, there were just too many memories. He’d miss Hogwarts.

However, he still had things to look forward too. Yeah, the war was coming, it was one of the hottest topics on everyone’s mind, but that didn’t mean Sirius couldn’t think of some of the good things he had to look forward to. He’d never have to go home; he could even get his own place if he wanted. He and the others could go visit each other anytime they wanted, especially once Sirius finished his bike.

It might not be perfect, and there were definitely things about being a ‘kid’ that he was going to miss badly, but at least there was some hope and anticipation when he looked out at the horizon.

“Shouldn’t be so bad.” He smirked and stood from the window seat. Might as well finish packing.

CHARACTER
Name: Lucien Iyesterius

Age: He appears in his mid twenties, but in truth he’s very old. He doesn’t disclose how old, and in truth he’s not completely certain when he was born anymore. Generally speaking, he’s probably around 800 to 1000 years old.

Appearance: Lucien is about six foot two inches, with an extremely fair complexion and a moderately muscular build. He’s obviously trained his body, and upkeeps his build with constant exercise. His hair is a natural fiery red, though the ends are preferentially dyed an orange-yellow color, giving the illusion of flame-tipped hair. He happens to like his hair that way, not that he’s particularly vain. His eyes are bright emerald green, and his smile is just as electrified as his eye color. Were one to look well enough, they would notice the pointed edges of his canines peeking just past his lower lip. Lucien Iyesterius is a vampire.

His clothing is neither overly simple, nor greatly extravagant. He tends to wear dark, form-fitting shirts with breathable pants, along with hardy boots. His favorite coat is bisected at the back, allowing the attachment of a sword to his belt. He wears the sheath of his blade horizontally during training, and as he is left handed, the hilt faces this arm. It’s easier for him to draw this way by now. The man also has a scarf which he is fond of, black in color, and he usually wears it as an accessory.

Lucien carries himself with a confident air. He doesn’t particularly look down on people, but neither does he think of himself as less. He walks with an easygoing gait, and is very expressive, particularly with his facial expressions and his laughter. He can also be loud with his arm movements when he wants to be. He has a Scottish accent, but it isn’t extremely overpowering. He makes himself understood when he wants to be understood. Every once in a while, especially when under some influence, his accent will become annoyingly thick.

Chosen PB: I do use game character images for Lucien, from a moderately rare game known as Tales of the Abyss (of the character Luke fon Fabre). As there have been no applications I have seen for any of the characters from this game present, I don’t feel there’s too much a problem using them.

Personality: Lucien expresses himself with a sunny disposition, and doesn’t tend to be so much the pessimist as the realist. This is because in his world, he is a very special sort of trader; the trader of not only goods, but information. Being so old, he has acquired the ability to be bright and charismatic for the job. It should always be noted, however, that because he is an information bank, he will learn about you, and he will trade information for his benefit. It’s nothing personal, it’s just how he’s gotten along for years. Under the farce of his superficiality, the man is actually pretty cold and calculating. It goes hand in hand with his realism, and he will tell you, when pushed, what you need to hear.

Lucien’s longevity is granted by his existence as a vampire. Born and turned in Scotland, he’s become the son of the world, well-traveled and well-learned. He has very good memory, which has allowed him to learn many languages, several if only in understanding. He likes knowing what people have to say about him. Regardless of such, he’s the best at English with a prevalent Scottish accent. And when he doesn’t want you to know what he’s saying or he doesn’t feel like expressing himself in a universal language, well. He’s not above switching to a language few will understand at all.

With his bright and cheerful personality—and also a token of his age—Lucien has become an extremely patient person. He will take little insult to anything, and he’s not terribly patriotic. The only way you might get a rise out of him is if you pull something from his past and lay it before him. This is incredibly difficult, as the man is impossibly secretive and doesn’t share information unless he is given equal return. That being said, he does have a breaking point, and it would be a blunder to reach it. Not only is he a vampire, but he is classified as an Elder Vampire in his world, given how old he is, and he does indeed have a great amount of power granted by age. This is, of course, barring the fact that he is Scottish, and that by heritage, he’s been taught that physical prowess is a desired trait.

Lucien has a secretly mischievous side. He likes to play tricks on others, in a somewhat playful manner. There’s something serious about setting a tripline for someone to stop them from finding you, but also something amusing from seeing them hang upside-down by an ankle. It satisfies him to catch people in his interesting traps.

World Information: Lucien is a part of a semi-post-apocalyptic world in which vampires have run over the earth and overhunted human beings. There are now few to feed the hordes, though Lucien is only lightly affected due to how rich he is and how long he can go without having blood.

CHARACTER
Name: Jacqueline Tisch
Age: 24
Appearance: height: 5'3"
eyes: golden-brown
hair: bistre

In daylight, Jacqueline's attire tends to be understated. She's rarely clad in jeans, preferring leggings and skirts, and all of her shoes have heels, to making her seem just a little taller. A scarf completes her attire in the winter, and a fashionable hat is the topper in the warmer months. When out for some sort of Event, her gowns tend to be subtly glitzy and curve-hugging, showing off her form without overdoing it.

In the bedroom, however, all bets are off. The attire available in her spare closet ranges from elaborate corsets to leather thigh-high boots. Behind closed doors, the girl revealed is as different from the daytime princess as one could be.

Chosen PB: Olivia Thirlby

Personality: On the surface, Jacqueline is every bit the demure, socialite princess that her mother always wanted her to be. She's soft-spoken and quiet, with a smile that dazzles in the brief moments that it lights up her face. She tends to listen more than she speaks, and she's more than happy to let people talk themselves to happy death in their futile attempts to fill the void of her silence. (More than one plaything has condemned herhimself to a night of rough punishment because of their overdeveloped need to babble.) She's one to observe, rather than one who needs to be center stage. It gives her more chances to hear all about all the weaknesses someone may or may not have.

She also hoards gossip like a dragon with treasure. Many of the 'pets' she's owned in the past were claimed specifically because they had connections, or because they knew how to ferret out the right rumors and discover the truth under the lies. She likes to be 'in the know', and she'll take great lengths to make sure she is...and occasionally will go even further to ensure that the number people who are aware of how much she knows are kept to a minimum. It's one of her favorite types of power, and she wields it with a subdued caution, using the tidbits of truth she has like unusual currency, buying and selling them at her whims.

In the safety of her own dungeon home, she becomes a different creature entirely. She's very exacting and demanding on her toys, and is prone to bouts of ecstatic rage whenever one of them fouls up. A mistake - any mistake - merits punishment, and her punishments are creative, cruel things. More than one former toy bears scars from a round or two in the second bedroom of her luxurious apartment, and there are plenty who have underestimated her and despaired for it. The Mistress in leather is nothing like the princess in public, and woe unto those who think otherwise...

World Information: Jacqueline came from an alternate earth that is essentially just like the world we live in, with supernatural quirks. There's possibly some supernatural blood in her, and I'm gonna leave that a little up in the air so it can be developed - or not - as the mods/her interactions with the world/etc. see fit.

History: Unlike many socialite couples in Manhattan, Muffy & Edward Tisch were very happy with each other - they met in high school, and married with the blessings of both families shortly after college - and the persistence of their passions are evident in the number of their children. More than two seemed unusual in high society, yet Jacqueline was the third born of the pair's romantic moments, the first girl in the family, followed shortly by her younger sister. Lined in a row, the four Tisch children were split in coloration and hue almost right down the middle - James and Jacqueline resembling their father, with dark hair and brooding eyes, and Parker and Alyssa mirroring their mother in their blue-eyed, blonde-haired visages.

So while Jacqueline was surely spoiled, as are most of society's children, she never felt the privilege of the spotlight as strongly as many of her schoolmates. James, of course, was appointed heir to his father's company when he was still in the crib, and Alyssa would always be 'Mommy's baby girl'. Even Parker seemed to earn more attention than her, with his near-genius IQ and his dazzling academic career. In the end, Jacqueline was just lost in the shuffle - or as lost in the shuffle as a high-born girl can be.

Jackie didn't mind. With even the eyes of the media focused on all but her, she found herself capable of moving through the tides of current affairs unnoticed, a quiet girl in the background while the spotlight focused on the dazzling players main stage. It afforded her a special sort of anonymity, gave her leave to indulge in the sorts of things that would have made society gasp, if they'd only been paying attention. All she had to do was be careful and cautious, and the whole world was none the wiser. When she was little, this meant sneaking out (with the chauffeur, of course; not even at the age of ten was she dumb enough to wander Manhattan with some sort of guard) and exploring Central Park; as she got older, it meant sampling the darker clubs downtown and finding the secret parties that raged in Brooklyn. Unlike most people who get involved in such scenes, however, Jacqueline continued to maintain the appearance of 'socialite princess' in the light of day. It made maintaining her two-faced lifestyle so much simpler when nobody asked questions.

When it came time for college, it was taken for granted that she would attend the same prestigious college that her father and mother had, and her brothers before her. Her arrival wasn't marked with any fanfare - she was not the first legacy to darken the hallways, and she would be far from the last - but there were dark groups here, fraternities and sororities that met in the middle of the night and practiced things not-quite-legal. One of them was a twisted sort of sex-cult, and apparently all of her family had been part of it before her. To learn of it was a bit of a shock, but she welcomed it. It was a little like being back home...except now, she was old enough to take control of who she wanted. After all, she'd seen several times the interactions between Dominant and lesser, and now, she was going to have a chance to sample things for herself. It was like a dream come true, and little miss Jacqueline has no desire to see her dream undone.

Jacqueline, of course, graduated with honors, though not a single member of her family watched her receive her diploma (something that isn't very unusual in the world of the social elite). Some of her closest friends escorted her to the train and wished her well when she boarded for Manhattan. Having had a long day, she tucked her head against a pillow, and decided to take a nap on the short ride back to the city. It was to be her first day as the socialite princess her mother had made her into, and she was going to enjoy it.

When she woke, the train had mostly cleared out, and it was pulling into the station in Ruby City. Now she just has to figure out why she - the most normal of the norm, in comparison to the other 'colorful' residents of the city - was brought here...

Strengths/Weaknesses: strengths: calm, thoughtful, observant || weaknesses: soft-spoken, inflexible, overtly harsh
Abilities: As of right now, Jackie is a very boring human, though she weilds a mean whip. This could develop into more later on, if something triggers her; but that's unlikely to happen anytime soon.

First Person: I'm not sure where you're going with this. [Jackie shifts uneasily, eyebrows arching high on her brow, watching the man before her warily.] I mean, it's not as if I've propositioned you.

[The silence drags on to the point of being uncomfortable. With a bit of a sigh, the girl shifts her bag from one shoulder to another, to make available that well-manicured hand, which comes to rest on her hip. Full lips pursing into a frown, she shifts again, resisting the urge to begin tapping her toe obnoxiously against the ground. This is taking much longer than it should, and she's damned tired of having to wade through this amount of crap, just for a drink.] Look, it's cold out here, and these heels are murdering my calves. Do you know what it's like? Standing around in heels? [She stares up at the man in front of her, doing her best to glower. She's not exactly used to being denied what she wants, and it's starting to irritate her - fire is evident in her dark eyes.]

I don't know who you are. [Her shoulders slump, and she huffs out another sigh in exasperation, blowing her bangs out of her eyes. Naturally, they flutter for a moment, only to settle right back down where they were, partially obscuring her eyebrows and veiling that angry glare, which she fixes firmly on the face of the man barring her way.] But there's no cause to keep me out of here. Now move, or I'm liable to get upset.

Third Person:

Jackie's heel clicked against the wooden platform of the station as she stepped off the train. Her breath came out in a puff of white steam, and she shivered... more due to the unfamiliar scenery than any actual chill the cool outside air may have brought her. Though she'd dressed warmly, she was a New Yorker at heart, and a touch of cool in the air wasn't anything to be afraid of. The alien feel of her surroundings, however, was. This was new, unexpected - and most definitely not where she was supposed to be. Hazel eyes flicked nervously over what was before her: a foggy last stop for the line of a train that was most definitely not the one she'd entered back in Massachusetts. Immediately, almost instinctively, she began checking over herself, looking for signs of foul play. No obvious puncture wounds, no grogginess. Her reactions and reflexes seemed normal - hell, she even checked her pulse with a quick flick of a hand to her throat. No, no foul play. So...what? And where the hell was she?

Her gaze was drawn (finally) to the poster directly in front of her, and her hand slipped into her pocket, which contained the watch she'd found in the seat next to her on the train. She'd had every intention of turning in to some sort of 'Lost and Found' at the train station, but now, with the realization it was hers, she resisted the urge to slide it out of her pocket and confirm that it worked as it should. Rash movement seemed like showing weakness, so she focused instead on slowing her heart rate, on calming her breathing. Make yourself known. Well, if that whole damned thing wasn't ominous, she wasn't sure what was.

With a shake of her head, she curled a hand around her suitcase and began to walk swiftly towards the stairs that she assumed led down and away from the place where the train had dumped her, the wheels of her single carry-on clacking over the boards. She wasn't sure of the rest of her substantial luggage had been magically transported by whatever means to the train that had brought her, and she wasn't ready to find out. Dainty hands politely waved away any that approached, be they other newcomers or the volunteers who were patrolling the worn platform. No, she wasn't prepared for this level of interaction...and she wasn't about to present herself to the public without having a better grip of what, exactly, was going on. These people didn't know who Jacqueline Tisch was.

She was going to have to show them.

If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A

Personality: There is an urban legend in Tokyo's district of Ikebukuro known as the "Black Rider". A black motorcycle that goes without lights on and makes odd noises, ridden by someone dressed in black, save for their yellow helmet. Some even refer to this legend as the "Headless Rider", claiming that the person riding the motorcycle is not human.

The truth of the matter is that this is all absolutely true. Celty is a Dullahan who has journeyed over from Ireland in search of her missing head. The motorcycle is actually her horse Shooter, disguised via her powers. In the rare occasions where it takes horse form, it has no head as well (this is more thematic, while hers has gone missing entirely). She has lost her memories of her time before losing her head, not knowing where it is, but having a vague sense of where it may be.

Since coming to Ikebukuro and making various connections there, she has taken on the roll of a courier and has acclimated well to her surroundings. She is also a member of a street gang known as The Dollars. Unable to communicate vocally, she does so by typing messages into her phone and showing it to people. The phone itself is a gift of the scientist whom she lives with, and considers it a treasured possession.

She spends a good deal of time online and in chat rooms. She enjoys watching scary movies and alien autopsy documentaries, but usually winds up scaring herself instead. The only thing she fears more than aliens are traffic cops. She also has a concern that splits her main reason for being in Ikebukuro: On the one hand she wants to get her head back, for fear that she may lose herself without it as she is having trouble remembering what it looked like, but at the same time is not sure who she may become if she got it back and had her memories restored.

CHARACTER
Name: Ventus
Canon: Kingdom Heart: Birth By Sleep
Timeline: Just after meeting Lea and Isa in Radiant Garden
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A

Personality:

Ventus is the youngest of the three main characters and his original group of friends but he doesn't let it bother him. Instead he learns from Terra and Aqua and even goes as far as looking up to Terra like an older brother. He does show his youth in several scenes such as when Scrooge McDuck tells him to take two grown-ups to Disney Town and he gives the tickets to Terra and Aqua. Not long after that, he is told to go home by both of his friends and he pouts and doesn't understand they're just trying to protect him from harm. Instead of going home as told, he continues to search for them and others for his friendship until the end which could a willingness to prove he is not a kid as he appears to be.

Throughout the game, Ventus is shown to have remarkable courage despite the odds, loyalty to both friends and strangers and curiosity which should get him in trouble. He is seen protecting Jaq from Lucifer when he was no larger than the mouse, helping Snow White through the woods after only just meeting her and fighting off the Unversed for Ienzo even though he hadn't seen the boy before. He doesn't mind putting himself in danger for others, especially Terra and Aqua and will do so even if he knows the risk is losing his own heart.

To Ventus, friendship is the most important thing. It's what gives him his power and his friends' power comes from him. It's his friendship with Terra and Aqua which makes me fight Vanitas in the end and let him forge the χ-blade with his heart. This bravery and selflessness is his greatest strength and his greatest weakness.

First Person:

Hello? Is anyone there? [Ventus had stepped off the train moments before and not long after found the watch. It hadn't taken him long to work out it's functions and wondered if it was simply something that this new world offered. It was a shame he didn't remember leaving the previous one.]

My name is Ventus. I think I'm a little lost. Can anyone help me?

Third Person:

Ventus sat in the Radiant Garden after Lea and Isa had left and thought about the road ahead. Perhaps he didn't need to follow the road Terra and Aqua had taken. He'd always be there for them if they needed him but for now, he'd go his own way.

He wanted to learn about friendship, make new friends and know how those friends valued the concept and his own friendship with them. Standing up, he took out Terra's wooden Keyblade and grinned. He'd meet up with them some point down the line, but for now, this was his own path.

He summoned his Keyblade Glider and smiled, this was going to one fun story to tell when he did finally meet up with Terra and Aqua, and he couldn't wait to create it.

CHARACTER
Name: Nikola Tesla
Canon: Sanctuary
Timeline: End of Season Four
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: Not applicable.

Personality: Nikola Tesla is an immortal vampire, a result of experiments with the Source Blood that The Five (including James Watson and Helen Magnus) participated in at Oxford. For the better part of the following century, this fueled both his personality and his plans.

Tesla was, for most of the first three seasons, arrogant and convinced of his own genius - though in the latter case the creation of numerous technological marvels such as a cure for a super virus, the ability to artificially create vampires, and a shield to hide vampiric traits from the advanced technology of Hollow Earth. A firm believer in technology and progress, this also leads to a certain rashness in his character, willing to experiment first without consideration of consequences.

Early on, he appeared as a villain - isolation and his desire to resurrect the vampire race had pushed him closer to madness (as well as potentially not using the medication that controlled his bloodlust). This even led him to attack Helen, a woman he professed love for. But as their encounters progressed, and they found themselves arrayed against the Cabal, he became more of a problematic ally.

And despite his arrogance, and willingness to mock those he considers lesser, he still revealed traits of his better side - speaking highly of James Watson after his death, and helping John Druitt annihilate the Cabal after their actions led to the death of Helen's daughter.

In the third season, he lost and regained his vampiric powers (which it turned out he was quite attached to) - but two encounters with other vampires disappointed him immensely and removed his desire to restore the race. With these actions, he became more and more an ally.

By the end of the fourth season, he was a solid ally, though his impulsiveness and arrogance remained. They were mellowed by a degree of respect for his Sanctuary allies. In four years, his personality evolved from villain to impish problem/periodic ally, to somewhat altruistic. Likely this is the result of contact with Helen and the other members of the Sanctuary.

First Person:

[The view that swims into vision is a young-looking man, in an excellent, modern suit. He looks mildly curious, and significantly annoyed, at the change of circumstances]

So I found myself on a train. And you know, I haven't traveled by train since the late 1930s - so something has gone significantly wrong.

[He looks around for a moment, tsking quietly]

I'm afraid I'm going to have to do something terrible to whomever is behind this. [Here, he smiles] That part might be fun, but first I'm going to find out what makes this place tick.

[The smile becomes a grin, and he gestures at himself] Nikola Tesla, by the way. And I happen to be a genius - your system's days are limited.

Third Person:

With a bottle of wine uncorked by his side, Nikola Tesla created. There should have been a fanfare, he believed - some sort of ceremony to such things. But, he sighed to himself, the satisfaction of creating something new in the realm of technology was reward enough.

He toiled in the Sanctuary lab, a rare moment alone. He wondered what Helen and her little team were doing - something about...something, he hadn't really been paying attention. If this worked, he'd find a way to use Worth's temporal technology safely, and the magnitude of that potential achievement held his full attention.

He loved to create, to solve, to innovate - to draw together the gossamer threads of technology into something amazing. He sipped the wine - ah, a rather lovely Merlot - and...wait, perhaps - if he could combine parts of Worth's mechanisms with his own efforts at creating wireless electricity, he could potentially find a way to break through the barriers between worlds. He started to work anew, in another, more interesting direction.

He'd have to tell Helen about his idea - perhaps he'd bring her a bottle of wine tonight, suggesting they enjoy it together. He had persisted in his pursuit of her for years now, and he'd find his way to her heart eventually. Because if he was one thing other than brilliant, it was persistent. He grinned to himself, and worked on.

It will happen at some point, but not initially, as Bro would only intervene with the situation if it got serious enough; Dave’s at the age where he needs to man up, as far as Bro’s concerned.
