A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.

In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.

CHARACTER
Name: Meg Masters
Canon: Supernatural
Timeline: After Crowley kills her. Season 8, episode 17.
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A

Personality:

Despite the fact that Meg starts out in the series as an evil demonic force over time she shows that she is much more than some stereotypical demon bad guy. She proves herself as an intelligent cunning force if a bit cowardly at times. Even at the point of her demise she could probably be considered a "good guy" as she died staying loyal to the Winchesters and Castiel. There is a lot of character development throughout the series from when she is introduced despite the fact that Meg is a creature of evil and destruction.

She starts out as a Lucifer Loyalist and opposes the Winchesters, completely evil and hellbent on whatever horrible plans were in store for the brothers. She possesses the body of a college girl named Meg Masters (Which is where she got her name.) and uses the Winchester brothers to lure their dad into a trap. This of course fails and she's banished to hell. The next time the protagonists see her she is still just as evil. More recently she inhabits a new "meat suit" and helped Lucifer deal with the boys as he preformed a ritual that killed many other demons.

Later on when we see her she is working against Crowley no matter what the cost, seeking revenge on him. This is when she is shown to be a bit less evil and more of a person. She stays back and kills the hell hounds allowing Dean, Sam and Castiel to escape and get Crowley and she also stays true to her deal and tortures Crowley when Sam asks her to. It's a sort of "enemy of my enemy is my friend" sort of deal that none of them really seem to enjoy.

In the most recent episodes she seems to be on the same side as Dean and Sam and spends time watching after Castiel. Once again it is an "enemy of my enemy" situation but this time neither her nor Cas seem to go about it begrudgingly, instead they both protect each other quite a few times. Despite this new found loyalty between angel and demon Sam and Dean still dislike the idea and do not trust her at all.

One of the more consistent things about Meg's personality is her playfulness and flirty nature. It has stayed the same - from flirting with Sam to flirting with Dean, and then ultimately with Castiel. Most of the time it is just to gain something, to taunt or to upset whoever it's aimed at. Though she never seems to be against the idea of it going farther than simply flirting. That fact is evident by her having no issue with a full on make-out session with Sam and then having no opposition to Castiel kissing her back after she kissed him to steal his angel blade.

As stated there is also a playfulness to her character that can either go alongside the flirting or be something on its own. She makes pop culture references and movie references simply to be playful or tease. This playfulness seems to get less malicious in the more recent episodes but that doesn't mean she isn't still a demon, a creature of evil. Even if she gets offended that Sam and Dean treat her as a "second class citizen" because she is a demon.

Meg is rather passionate about many things; first she was utterly passionate about following Lucifer and listening to Azazel which then was put behind her want for vengeance on the Winchester brothers. Then after that she was intent on killing Crowley in revenge for helping the Winchesters defeat Lucifer. Ultimately she admits she is a driven person when she informs that she had no intention of messing with Dean or Sam. In all of these instances she shows that she's willing to do just about anything to succeed at whatever she's vying for. She even goes as far as to work with the Winchesters to defeat Crowley.

Demons aren't often loyal to anything other than themselves some do seem to form bonds to other demons like Azazel who claims Meg as his daughter and gets angry when the Winchesters send her back to hell. Unlike most, Meg does seem to show loyalty to both Lucifer and Castiel and the Winchesters in addition. Even when Crowley informs Meg of the brothers' plan to banish all demons back to hell and close the gates in an attempt to get her to join his side she stays loyal and attacks Crowley, not only in revenge but to distract him from the brothers and the angel tablet. This key component to her personality leads to explaining another.

Meg is perhaps one of the most human demons. One might even say she is quite good for a demon. It's said that demons forget what it's like to be human and many forget they were even human at all. Meg however shows quite a few human traits; these traits are shown more so after she meets Castiel and takes care of him than in the beginning when she was introduced and was ruthlessly evil. She is influenced by whatever goal she has set her mind on and who is around it. An example of this would be when Sam expressed how his view of the world changed because of someone and Meg agrees with him implying that Castiel changed how she views the world with her changed behavior. This is more obvious when she states that Castiel is the only angel that would bat for her and seems to be attached to the sentiment behind that.

She is shown to be intelligent, she is one step ahead of the boys quite often. This is one of the things that leads to her sometimes cowardly behavior. Even soulless Sam didn't get the chance to kill her because she left before he could. This intelligence is what makes her so good at manipulating people and allowing her to get what she wants.

First Person: [When Meg's eyes open she can't help but be shocked. She had been stabbed by Crowley - waking up on a train is not what she was expecting. Her eyes traverse the interior of the train carefully before she finally stands up. The demon has to wonder if this is due to something the Winchesters have done, or perhaps Castiel... He's an angel he has angel mojo, right? She really hopes it's the latter because the last thing she wants to do is owe the Winchesters a favor.

It's then that she notices the watch in the pocket of her jacket. Grabbing it, she brings it up to her face for further inspection, turning it over and over as she stares.]

Now what do we have here? How did this get here?

[She flicks the thing open but as she does so one of her fingers slip against a button that did who knows what -- because it certainly was not change the time.]

Shit.

[She inspects it a bit more intensely as she tries to figure out what she's done.]

Wait, is this thing recording me? Whatever anyone says this thing is not an upgrade from a video camera. I've seen a lot of stuff but this takes the cake for stupidest invention...

Third Person:

Meg gazed at the reflection staring back at her from the glass of some shop's window. She refused to do one of those stupid touch her face and give the reflective surface a surprised look. Horror movie rule #1 (And she would know she's done it at least once) the bad guy (or woman) is always standing behind said surprised female getting friendly with the mirror or otherwise reflective surface. The demon looked over her shoulder regardless of what the reflection said, there was no way she was getting ganked again right after coming back from the great beyond.

"Well, this is all fine and dandy but I'm really getting bored of this whole mysterious element of where in the world am I and who brought me back only to stick a pocket watch in my pocket." Speaking of the stupid thing -- fingers dug into her pocket to curl around the somewhat warm metal and remove it so she could glare at the thing with a scowl as if it were the culprit. Only after squeezing it in aggravation did she open it again; her eyes flickered across it like she was reading some unwritten text on it.

"This is getting pretty boring, pretty fast and you have got to admit, it's hard to bore the girl that took care of a drooling angel for way too long. By the way, you're welcome to get your cute feathery butt here any time and tell me what's going on, Castiel. Wow, does this count as praying to angels? Who woulda thunk it. Of all people, me praying to an angel. Or maybe this is just classified as talking at an angel... I feel less clean that way, I want to go with that."

With a huff she turned her attention to the sky before speaking again. "Testing, testing, one, two, is this thing on? Meg to Enterprise, don't beam me up Scotty. Just want to talk. Maybe slice me a piece of angel cake." The last comment brought a grin to her face - it was cute in a dumb way how he managed to misunderstand her flirtations unless she was blunt, like kissing him. He had understood that one despite the fact that it was mostly intended as a way to get his angel sword.
