CHARACTER
Name: Leopold 'Leo' Fitz
Canon: Agents of Shield
Age: Twenty-seven
Timeline: Season Two Finale
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: First Character

Personality: In looking specifically at the myers-briggs personality types, Leopold Fitz would be a classic INTJ.

INTJ (The Mastermind)
INTJs are one of the rarest of the sixteen personality types, and account for approximately 1-2% of the population.
Hallmarks of the INTJ include independence of thought and a desire for efficiency. They work best when given autonomy and creative freedom. They harbor an innate desire to express themselves by conceptualizing their own intellectual designs. They have a talent for analyzing and formulating complex theories. INTJs are generally well-suited for occupations within academia, research, consulting, management, science, engineering, and law. They are often acutely aware of their own knowledge and abilities—as well as their limitations and what they don’t know (a quality that tends to distinguish them from INTPs). INTJs thus develop a strong confidence in their ability and talents, making them natural leaders.
In forming relationships, INTJs tend to seek out others with similar character traits and ideologies. Agreement on theoretical concepts is an important aspect of their relationships. By nature INTJs can be demanding in their expectations, and approach relationships in a rational manner. As a result, INTJs may not always respond to a spontaneous infatuation but wait for a mate who better fits their set criteria. They tend to be stable, reliable, and dedicated. Harmony in relationships and home life tends to be extremely important to them. They generally withhold strong emotion and do not like to waste time with what they consider irrational social rituals. This may cause non-INTJs to perceive them as distant and reserved; nevertheless, INTJs are usually very loyal partners who are prepared to commit substantial energy and time into a relationship to make it work.

The first part is abundantly evident in the manner in which he works. Rather than being dependent on others, he rather be left to do his own work when it comes to development and design. Often getting frustrated when he is unable to work something out out on his own or having to rely on the design or aid of another besides Simmons, he relies on his inventions and plans to relay a part of himself to others; to show Simmons how much he cares for her he develops a make shift device and plan to ensure that she will survive even at peril to himself. This shows that his means of expressing himself and his intellect comes in the forms of the development of the tools and devices that he develops as well as the breakthroughs that he makes; which makes the damage done to him more devastating as the hypoxia has damaged that means of self-expression. After what happened to him he also shows knowledge that he does realize that his limitations are much more apparent and he is able to recognize them and challenge them. Gradually he is able to regain his confidence in his own abilities and step by step progressing back to a higher level with fewer limitations as before.

His relationship with others also is reflective of an INTJ as the person with whom he forms the strongest and most driving bond is Simmons, someone who has the same intellectual capability and a similar moral compass as his own when the meet and begin working together; after a short time of competing against one another. He forms bonds first on an intellectual level and then after a time forms a deep loyalty and friendship with them, coming to develop a fierce friendship that is not easily shakable and lead him to doing whatever he can for their safety. At the same time there are a number of things that people do that due to his social ineptitude and disconnection he is unable to fully understand or comprehend.

In short, Fitz is a brilliant engineer who expresses himself through his knowledge and creation of equipment, when he is unable to solve a problem that involves designing something from that knowledge he becomes frustrated to a point that he further has trouble communicating and connecting with others. A problem which was amplified by the cerebral hypoxia, the damage done from a lack of oxygen, which further limited his vocabulary and ability to recall and connect ideas as freely as before. Despite this he is a brilliant engineer who realizes his limitations and becomes frustrated at how they’ve grown, thus leading him to see himself as damaged when he’s unable to solve problems that previously would have been simple for him. Science is what makes sense, and if it’s not science and doesn’t make sense then there is no reason to put any stock in it. There’s an explanation for everything even if it might be readily apparent there must be a way to explain it and he will do everything that he can to find those explanations.

At the same time he is a fiercely loyal friend, one that refuses to believe betrayal until he’s nearly killed, that leads him to steal from a dangerous agency for a man that’s held secrets from him, and even hides the mutation and life altering secret of a friend for fear of what others might do. He will do whatever he can for those who are important to him, he will protect them and if required give his life so that they can live. However, he does know his own limitations and certainly holds a high regard for his own life and safety as well.

Background: http://marvelcinematicuniverse.wikia.com/wiki/Leo_Fitz - Marvel Wiki

Abilities: Fitz is a brilliant engineer capable of designing and building a large number of gadgets and weapons that can be used for any number of things. He has the ability to read a machine very quickly, enabling him to dismantle and rework machine parts rapidly.

[There's a few tools sitting around the watch, it would probably be in pieces if he were actually able to get it open. However, at the moment there's just going to be the start of a feed with a slightly frustrated person on the other end.]

I can't... I, I don't know how it works. I should be able to solve it but I can't.

[Fitz presses a hand against his forehead as if he has a migraine, he want to say something but he's having a hard time finding any of the right words.]

I don't know where. It doesn't make any sense, there wasn't a train. There aren't trains like that anymore. No one makes watches like this either, it doesn't make sense.

Things were just getting... they were... [what was the word.] They were not worse.

Now I have 2 questions. One, World of Elegance, the angel that lives Inside Urd, Does Urd come with her? Only Urd can hear her speak, and most of the time she stays inside her. Its Kinda like a Stand from Jojo.

Second, One of Urd's Powers is to travel through Television and video equipment. Can she use this to travel through the Pocketwatches?

Hope app with one question t the bottom

And she waited

"Oh? Then who's going to replace me, Jotaro Kujo, as the main character?"

CHARACTER
Name: Nero
Canon: Devil May Cry 4
Age: 19
Timeline: Post novel and game end.(Same thing really, it's just in the novel it shows Nero running a "Devil May Cry" shop in Fortuna after the game, complete with the neon sign courtesy of Dante.)
Personality:
Nero is the type of person you don't want to mess with. He's arrogant, foul-mouthed, hot-blooded, snarky, and cares very little for authority though he does listen to Credo's orders but that's because he's family (He probably just sees it as a favor or something). He respects only a handful of people. Mainly his adoptive brother Credo, his love-interest/adoptive sister Kyrie, and after the events of the game, Dante.

Nero doesn't play well with others so the Order often assigns him solo missions, much to his preference. Another reason for this is because he is hands down, the best demon slayer/hunter in the Order. He gets the job done, no matter how dangerous and he never lets his target get away. He is quite stubborn and he never knows when to quit making him an ideal hunter. The target can be a 10ft tall demon ape and Nero would still rush in, guns ablaze. He doesn't give much thought to who or what his opponent is so he ends up pissing off the wrong people. Once in a while he might even get his ass handed to him, though the only person to ever do that in a fair fight was Dante, but he will still get back up and keep on going.

He's also pretty immature, easily getting emotional over things and bored just as fast. Even though he is part of the Order he doesn't share their faith, in fact the only reason he's there is cause of Kyrie. He'd only attend mass to hear her sing and nothing more. When Sanctus starts preaching, Nero starts listing to some tunes to drown him out. Nero is often seen getting angry at some of the pettiest things for example, a broken drawbridge control panel. When the bridge wouldn't lower when he flipped the switch he slammed his hand down on the panel then, in the typical DMC reaction to broken machines, shot it which resulted in it blowing up and lowering the bridge(Typical). Even though it worked, it was a bit excessive. He also tends to swear and make fun of his opponents. When he first met Agnus, he made fun of his stuttering after calling his lab a "Hellhole" then proceeds to call him a jackass after he defeats him.

For all of his strength and bravado Nero is not without weaknesses. For example is when Kyrie first found out about him being a half demon. His heart had practically jumped to his throat making him unable to speak when he tried to explain why he had a demon arm to Kyrie, or why he fought Credo. Nero cares very much for Kyrie's opinion and feelings towards him, so this event terrified him. When she was kidnapped by Agnus, he returned to his usual angry self and sought to kill Agnus and save Kyrie but unfortunately failed to save her. Not once, but twice and on both times he is seen crying his heart out, pounding on the ground until it shattered.

Even though Nero only appears in the fourth game, he does some growing up towards the end. One of his developments was his willingness to become an outcast in exchange for power to protect those important to him when he received the Yamato. The other, and most important one, is when he accepts his right hand and becoming a demon. Through the game, Nero is seen hating his right hand for turning into what it is now saying it drives him crazy. When Nero accepts his current situation, he felt a sense of purpose. Ironically saying that "God" was the reason why he has that arm and that its purpose is to send demons back to hell.

Background: Anything to protect her.
