Harry; Truth About Demons 2/2

[identity profile] devilishkurumi.livejournal.com 2009-11-30 11:05 am (UTC)(link)
Personality: Harry is pretty sarcastic/haughty about everything ever. He's also a bit of a prankster; he and his friend like to try and scare the living bejeezus out of each other. He's a huge skeptic, believing only in the facts. It makes it hard for him to believe pretty much anything that isn't something he can measure with science. He's also severely jaded and tends towards the more cynical life views.

Other: I'm going to be playing a little from pre-movie to get some initial CR and vibes down, then go through the canon very quickly. Uhh, after that we'll see how/if he's going to get out of crazytown. Oh, and his shirt is perpetually being stolen by demons.

Additional Links: There's not much out there; Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Irrefutable_Truth_about_Demons) treats it about as seriously as I do, but there's also the official site (http://www.demons.co.nz/).

First Person (entry type):
Today's hate mail count is in the staggering double digits. I swear, it's as though every cult follower out there has nothing better to do than harass me for documenting the facts. And what's worse, most of the time they can't even be bothered to use some goddamned proof-reading before they send the shit out. I guess I should at least be grateful that most of them don't seem to own computers, otherwise I'd be inundated with badly spelled, grammatically-suicidal e-mails every five minutes.

The one in Latin, though, that was pretty good. I had to get another professor to translate it; we both had a good laugh at the fact that they basically were rehashing the shit from Army of Darkness. I wonder how Bruce Campbell feels about being a god in a cult.

Third Person:
Harry wants to be the kind of guy who runs six miles every morning before work, drinks green tea and believes in wheatgrass supplements. Once, he remembered being the kind of guy who at least had something to believe in, something imaginary and grand, warm even - maybe it was his brother, now that he thinks back on it. He never believed in God, but he believed in his brother.

Instead of being that kind of guy, though, Harry wakes up six minutes late, drinks his coffee black and barely has time to kiss his girlfriend before he rushes to the university. After classes are over and he has time to grade a few papers, he settles in with a pile of angry letters and a laptop full of research on mock-religious cults that believe in something imaginary, like he used to. He knows they don't really believe it; shit, L. Ron Hubbard never believed in the shit he wrote, Harry's sure - it's all just a way to get money. Use and abuse and throw people away like garbage, leaving them slitting their wrists and dying before their brother can -

He finds a letter from a cult survivor and reads her words of hope and wishes he could believe that she was doing as good as she says she is. He writes down her name in a notebook and decides to be at least mildly grateful that he could help one more person, for however long it was.
