CHARACTER
Name: Draco Malfoy
Canon: Harry Potter
Age: 18
Timeline: Post-war, 2 months after it ended.
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: n/a

Personality: Draco Malfoy is a product of his raising and his environment. The son of a well-to-do, long standing family of wealth in the Wizarding World, he was raised as one would expect nobility to be. Drilled in protocol and etiquette since his early youth, Draco is never lost in any social situation. This also lends itself to his mask of superiority. It is his defense mechanism, one taught to him by his father, and one he will likely never be rid of. It was his saving grace many a time, and deeply ingrained habits like these never truly fade away or break.

Beneath his mask of superiority is a young man who cares deeply when his trust and loyalty are given, though that is a rarity. And contrary to popular belief, he does hold a firm grasp of ethics, and knows when things go too far. This may not have always been so in his youth, as he followed along behind his father blindly, but the war did much to open his eyes.

Draco went from being the vain, pompous git of Slytherin in school, to quickly being changed in the unprotected world of Reality. Being as he entered into the Death Eaters in his final years at school, Draco was immersed into the darker, seedier side of the war. The ‘good’ people may have seen atrocities, but it was nothing like what he witnessed and went through. There was no choice in the matter, it was do as you were told or become a broken puppet, since really death would have been a blessing. This means Draco has more than a few skeletons in his closet. He suffers from occasional night terrors and insomnia, and more often than not when he’s lost in thoughts he gets a look of anger on his face or looks as if at any moment he’ll break under the sheer weight of them.

CHARACTER
Name: Johan Liebert
Canon: Monster
Age: 20
Timeline: After the burning of the library, when he disappears
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this? NOPE

Personality: At first, Johan seems like a polite, amicable, and a charming young man--not overly social and somewhat reserved, but easy to get along with; he's honest, hard working, and very smart. A gentle, caring person. This is all relatively true.

But far from the actual truth.

'Johan Liebert' is primarily intangible, infamously difficult to pin down in any single aspect.

As far as personalities go and are defined, Johan is both one of the most overwhelming and one of the most innocuous.

Johan is manipulative, cunning, deceitful... and dangerous. His stated goal as a child was to be the last one standing at the end of the world; despite this, he repeatedly invites Dr. Tenma, a man who saved his life, to pull the trigger and kill him. Possessed of a driving WORD (compulsion? motivation? sense of?) for destruction, he has a vision--a specific vision--of the end of the world. A cold, bleak wasteland, devoid of life...


He is compelled by fear and by death, and yet indifferent to them; the concept of the human being as monster is central to his canon, and Johan serves as the catalyst for this development in others--directly or indirectly, the 'Monster' in Johan feeds, inspires, or reflects the 'Monsters' in others around him. It is often intentional. Terrifyingly intelligent, Johan easily involves himself in concepts and 'worlds' (most notable the financial world)--the kind that most people spend their entire lives trying to master, or at least participate in--and masters them easily. His 'play' in such spheres is sometimes subtle, but always cruel--not to mention tremendous in scope. "Like a child disturbing a line of ants," according to more than one person. He treats people much the same way, but in his hands they become much more like tools, conveniences or contrivances in his plans--the pieces of his 'game' rather than the game in and of themselves.

Humans... can become anything. But death is the great equaliser. All humans are equal in death. And so humans themselves are simultaneously 'special' and nothing at all.

He is not, by technicality, a serial killer, but a mass-murderer; a serial killer must have killed at least four people and have a modus operandi--while Johan has killed far more than four people and certainly appears to have an initial pattern in victims, the final facts do not support this: the murders of several middle-aged couple (former foster parents of Johan all) were only the tip of a very large iceberg. He has systematically and indiscriminately killed dozens and dozens of people, either directly or indirectly--many of them were killed by a third party, either loyal to him or hired to do so, while others were simply driven to suicide... or just helped along. Of course, all third party killers were summarily executed by Johan himself. As a brilliant, sometimes nigh-whimsical artist of corruption and destruction, Johan is capable of devising flawless plans on a near-moment's notice, occasionally improvising new steps or twists as he thinks of them.

However, Johan lacks a cogent sense of self. He is a non-person, but at the same time, his 'self' is split into two people, as the Monster in A Nameless Monster splits in half, one half to go East, the other West. In a sense, he and Nina are two independent selves of a unifying identity, but because Johan himself is consumed by another concept of 'self'--or rather, the Monster--his self is always being consumed and consuming, in a constant, active state of erasure. Nina herself is a threat to his existence, just as much as she is essential to it, and so must be consumed or absorbed into him, just as Johan from A Nameless Monster consumes his original 'other half', the Monster who went West.

His sense of self is so elusive that he can easily "become" other people--people who do not exist, people who do exist, idealised concepts of people who could exist... this is most noticeable in the subtle alterations of his apparent 'self', but happens most momentuously when he takes his twin sister's memories for his own--or rather, subsumes them and then mistakes them for his own. He physically takes on her identity for a period of time (following the burning of the library), seamlessly adopting and shifting between into her personality and physical appearance and his own. This is an excellent illustration of his ambiguous and enigmatic relationship with his twin. He often refers to his sister as his "other self," and repeats various permutations of "you are me, and I am you," both to his sister and, once, to his mother's portrait (right before burning the entire mansion it is in), but Johan also frequently speaks of the meaninglessness of names, their unnecessary nature, and is periodically explained to be 'a person who does not exist.' Indeed, for the first half/two-thirds of Monster, Inspector Lunge believes 'Johan' to be nothing but an alternate personality of Kenzou Tenma.

This is revealed to be untrue, and the reasoning for his murders varies wildly. Often they are related to his immediate goals or the desire to eradicate and/or remove all traces of his existence from the world, to become a non-person, to protect his secret 'self'--but sometimes it was simply convenient, easy, or too much trouble to handle otherwise.

And sometimes it simply suited him to do so.

It is has been questioned whether or not he has true emotions; he certainly has no capacity for guilt, and there is no doubt that he possesses a nuance of maliciousness, but it is key that Johan's cruelty is rooted not in insensitivity, but indifference--or desire. His motivations are complex, and the driving sense of despair he manifests is characterised from a sense of loss, of being unwanted. His expression and experience are so empty that it appears as though he possesses, at most, very small fluctuations within a single band of neutrality and thought. It would still be incorrect to say that he does not express emotion--that he does not cry, or smile, or laugh. He does all of these things freely... but as an act. They are superficial displays and affectations rather than true emotional reactions. His true state, as it seems, is 'emptiness.'

In the end, however, the difference may be meaningless to all but himself. After all, Johan possesses extraordinary charisma, manipulative ability, insight, and intellect; whatever he feels is going to be as apparent to others as he wants it to be.

Most of the time.

CHARACTER
Name: Vincent Valentine
Canon: Final Fantasy VII
Age: 60/27
Timeline: Post-Advent Children
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A

Personality: Tall, dark, and serious, Vincent Valentine is a quiet man with a brooding--and sometimes mysterious--presence. The penultimate stoic, he shows (and often feels) very little in the way of emotion; he spends most of his time by himself and routinely returns even simple questions or overtures with complete silence. Part of this is simply that he is extremely private, and in being so keeps the bulk of his opinions entirely to himself. In person he is severe and often abrupt--not curt, as one might think, but he often condenses his communication into as few words as possible or demonstrates his meaning in silent gesture instead of speaking. Behind the no-nonsense, brooding exterior, however, he is in fact wracked with guilt, and holds himself deeply responsible for many things that are not conclusively or even reasonably his fault, and carries their burden as an immense weight on his soul. He views himself as a sinner, unworthy and incapable of penance or redemption, and bears this weight in silence, pushing himself to act in both accordance and exception to it as he struggles to locate a place for himself in a living, feeling world. This has taken a toll on his mind and his emotional involvement in the world, resulting in a numbed, cold response to much of the world around him, exacerbated by his inherently reserved personality and sharpened by his few years of waking experience.

When he does participate in social situations, he is slightly uncomfortable and decidedly cryptic, preferring to maintain a cold, professional distance from the situation and the people around him. Vincent often speaks in metaphor or vague reference, making him one of the more difficult AVALANCHE members to talk to. He is highly perceptive and naturally intelligent, however, and instinctively analyses new situations with a critical eye, weighing conditions and variables quickly to come up with the most rational (and effective) results. Given time, he prefers to disseminate things in detail--Vincent is a thinker as much as a doer, and many of his conclusions are intellectually, not emotionally, motivated. Guilt, however, is often his strongest motivator, and much of his action through Final Fantasy VII and Advent Children is driven through it. Unlike the other members of AVALANCHE and most of their supporting cast, Vincent is not necessarily a 'good guy'--he has his own agenda and supports it the entire way through, doing as he feels and sees fit for himself and his own causes. He is not, as he will tell you up front, a hero. Without the sugarcoating, the facts are these: Vincent is a dangerous and very self-motivated person with questionable (if extant) morals. He does what he feels he has to, but not out of any sense of self-sacrifice, save for Lucrecia is concerned. For her, he might quite possibly end the world.

Instead, he stopped it from ending.

He is still learning to find his place in a world that kept going without him.

As far as his own well-being goes, Vincent is utterly fearless. He is, however, definitively afraid of himself and the knowledge of things he has the potential to do. He is extremely dangerous and is immenintly aware of it, holding within himself four demons over which he exerts little to no control. This affects his decision to separate himself from other people as well as justifies it, and the distance he keeps grows over time as he becomes more and more familiar with the terrible possibilities of the things he cannot control. He is iminently afraid of failure--he has sinned enough in his life, and bears the guilt with stoic resignation and a sense of responsibility, but the prospect of failing further drives him to both action and isolation in equal turns. In this way, Vincent is as much a liability to himself as he is a powerful weapon. Unpredictable and dangerous, his limit breaks rule him as much as he rules them, if not more, and his inability to control them or their voices is a constant problem and source of agony to him. His unpredictability and hair-trigger reflexes can result in instincts and reactions that can hurt others, and his own psyche is effectively out to destroy what it can whenever he is unable to stop it from doing so. Outside of Chaos, Galian Beast, and the others, Vincent's sense of guilt and self-incrimination is his biggest weakness; he holds back a lot and communicates little, isolating himself from others and sequestering his fractured emotiuons away in a deep part of himself to prevent further damage to what is left of his fragile humanity. His reason and rationale are both affected by this, often in subtle ways, and he may irrationally blame himself for things simply because he was present. He is also extraordinarily stubborn and (among other things) will never ask for help, refusing to do so even for simple things, let alone what he may genuinely need help with.

Background: Here is a wiki. Please disregard all information attributed to the game Dirge of Cerberus, as it is prone to inconsistency with the original canon (as well as sometimes itself) and I will not be including it in my characterisation.

Abilities: Vincent is gifted with rapid regeneration and inhuman speed as well as increased strength--incredible strength, actually, as he is quite capable of crushing a man's skull with his clawed hand. His reflexes take the term "lightning fast" to a new level, and he moves with an alacrity far beyond the realm of normal human possiblity. His senses, too, are unnaturally enhanced, and as a marksman, he is nigh-unsurprised. His uncanny accuracy and precision have been augmented with vision and hearing far superior to human comprehension. All of these make him a formidable weapon, and he uses them as seamlessly as most people seem to breathe; when he puts his mind to it, Vincent is a killing machine. He is not, however, mindless--just the opposite, in fact, Vincent is very intelligent and quite creative with the use of his skills. He is not afraid of getting hurt and for reasons both personal and obvious he is unafraid of death, on whose side he decidedly stands. His limit breaks, obviously, are overwhelmingly powerful, but they are as much a weakness a strength, for he frequently has no control over where they go and what they do--they take over him completely, and destroy everything in their path. When he is in control, however, he has the benefit of extraordinary discipline--even before his transformation, he was a Turk, and though he is capable of going great stretches without sleep, food, or water as a result of it, he can now ignore both hunger and exhaustion or shut out distractions with a single-minded ability that is almost frightening in its depth.

As far as his limit breaks go, there are four: four transformations, that is, demonstrated here. While he can choose to undergo a transformation at any time, his control over these forms is limited at best when it's voluntary, and utterly nonexistent when it's not. It's not a pleasant process, and is absolutely hell on his clothes.
