Current Characters: None


Character: Solf J. Kimblee

Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist (First Anime)

Character Notes:

History: Kimblee was a State Alchemist involved in the Eastern Rebellion who made bombs of enemies and allies alike by rearranging their chemical construction with the arrays on his hands. He was capable of making timed or instant explosions and focusing the destruction limb by limb. At the end of the war he was supposed to be put to death. Instead he was kept in solitary holding in the secret 5th Laboratory in Central to be sacrificed into a Philosopher's Stone. When surrounded by the incomplete stone meant to amplify the array to create the stone and placed with the other sacrifices, he made use of another prisoner and the red water to escape. As the 5th Laboratory was invaded by the military and destroyed, he met Greed and the escaping chimeras and made his way out with them. He served under Greed at the Devil's Nest but was not popular amongst the ex-military chimeras due to being a known bloodthirsty traitor. None the less he went on several of Greed's missions with the rest of the Devil's Nest members. During one outing to York Island, he heard Envy mention Greed's bones and sealing him away with them. Kimblee now knew the weakness, but he never took initiative against Greed until another mission at the Southern Headquarters where he was propositioned by Lt. Colonel Frank Archer to join the military again. Before defecting, he let fellow former State Alchemist and Devil's Nest member Shou Tucker in on matters and recruited him to work under Archer as well. Using his alchemy, he opened the safe Greed kept his skull in and let Archer make use of them on the raid on the Devil's Nest. As the newly promoted Colonel Archer worked in Information, he was able to forge that Kimblee had been framed for his war crimes and stated that he was helping unravel the mysteries of Lab 5 while promoting Kimblee to Lt. Colonel. Kimblee was still well remembered though so he kept a mask on when required to move about in public and was confined to his room in the military dorms, to stay out of public sight. While arguing with a guard about his right to move about at least at night time, he was spotted by former Devil's Nest member Martel who sought revenge on him for betraying them. He convinced Al to call her off only to try to kill both of them himself. He failed, though never did report that Al was carrying her around inside of him and swore to make a bomb out of Al one day. He was ordered by the Fuhrer to create a disturbance in Reore in secret to start another rebellion so that the public could be told the refugees had attacked first. He raided the town with a horde of Tucker's chimeras and met with Scar whom he recognized as one of his targets from the war and whose namesake scar was his own sadistic handiwork. He engaged in a two on one fight against Scar and Alphonse. His sadistic tendancies were his end: he made Scar's left arm into a timed bomb, only for Scar to rip off his own arm before skewering Kimblee through the chest with his right. Not to be outdone in his final moments Kimblee reached out to Alphonse and transformed him into a time bomb as well, giddy at fulfilling his promise to make him into a bomb before dying.

Personality: While he never cared for the reason behind the extermination and targeted men, women, children and even superiors who stood in his way he isn't totally indiscriminate. He speaks politely and pays lip service where due. He knows who to obey and when. There aren't many things he cares about, being blasé about his death both times he's confronted with it. He isn't easily flapped by pain, threats, or insults, though when he's outwitted or in a position of clear inferiority, he becomes edgy. He’s shown with a scowl in every scene with Greed until finding his weakness, then smiles calmly with him once secure in his own superiority, is unhappy about being looked down at by Archer until he sees a clear personal benefit and only takes serious aim at Al after being beaten once. He's fond of psychological manipulation and physical cruelty. He lacks a single meaningful relationship in the series but is cooperative and socially capable to manipulative ends. As for redeeming qualities, he does his dirty work himself so you could say has good work ethic? He has a dry and ironic sense of humor and enjoys himself. He's extremely intelligent as a chemist and in being quick to understand things. He was able to identify Envy acting as Gran ((even if comically OOCly)) as a fake in only a few seconds despite having never seen a Homunculus nor other means to suspect such a perfect replication. Despite killing hundreds, he can remember specific victims from Ishbal, such as Scar, to the point of noting how weird it is that he still has his right arm. He was also the first normal human to discover the Homunculi's weak point. His dismissal of the politics behind war when asked by a victim is likely a lack of relevance rather than a lack of understanding. It may also reflect knowing that there is something beneath the surface, though that too is irrelevant for him.

Additional Links: Oh God I'm failing this application so hard. I'd link to Wikipedia or the FMA Wiki or something but their info on him in the anime kind of sucks monkey chunks what with all its inaccuracies.

First Person (entry type): Crying is quite complex whether vocal or lacrimal. If we could focus on the vocal aspect for a few moments: certain frequencies draw more of a response from listeners; specifically, higher frequencies are more alarming. The pattern of crying and silences, the smoothness or roughness, the melody… All predict the degree of peril, from simple hunger, to illness and along increasing levels of agony. Adults express even more complex misery more clearly through words. There is much poetry, art and even music (of a more traditional variety than crying) dedicated to complex expressions of emotion. Yet when it comes to a more primal distress I think that a primal response, even from an adult with so many other options for expression, has its beauty.


Third Person: He was a man of style and yet he loved uniforms. Fashion wasn’t personal taste, it was a show of one’s cultural capital and Kimblee’s style was a display not an expression. It was just as well. If he had any attachments to clothing that reflected society’s finest sensibilities and normalcy, he’d not do very well in a place like the Devil’s Nest. He could pick out an outfit that would leave him neither overdressed in the criminal element nor suspicious if he decided to visit a more civilized part of town. He could enjoy the privileges of both sides of the tracks! Even out of the more humanoid chimeras, not many had that luxury. The boss’s whims were agreeably destructive, and when his greed finally caught up with him, Kimblee at least would be able to slip away freely as an ordinary man. There was little to associate him with a crew of beasts and other alchemical monstrosities. He was no better than said monstrosities but if the public saw a difference thanks to dress and demeanor so much the better! Still he missed uniforms; fashion was a social signal that suggested certain privileges but a military uniform solidly assured them.

Are you at least 15?: Y
Current Characters: None

Character: Scorponok
Fandom: Beast Wars television series only
Character Notes:
History: Most of this is an extrapolation of what I know of the Cybertron’s state, the fact that things were dark enough that the X project was a government established experiment, and of his particular character. As I haven’t been able to get a hold of the Botcon exclusive comic that’s the only thing that gives any information on his past, this is probably off somewhat.

- Protoformed* by a factory owner looking to have a general maintenance tech, as his old one just worked off his creation fees and declined to renew his contract
- Worked off fees in the usual five stellar-cycles
- Renewed contract due to lack of any other options
- First heard Megatron’s anti-Maximal sentiments at a rally three stellar cycles into his renewed contract
- Joined Megatron ten solar cycles later
- Meets Dinobot, has the odd feeling that something’s wrong with how he interacts with Megatron, suppresses feelings on issue as Megatron Can Do No Wrong
- Comes across Dinobot in the aftermath of one of his and Megatron’s ‘spats’. Offers to help, but is turned down
- His contract is up and he declines to renew it and moves into Megatron’s base to work for him full time
- Starts to work on learning how to program nanoviruses and drones
- Twenty ‘fights’ and three moves up in the hierarchy later, his usual offer to help Dinobot is accepted. Still unaware that this is anything out of the normal Predacon fights is occurring
- Is subjected to watching one of Dinobot and Megatron’s ‘fights’, finally realizes that there is no way that this is anything healthy, but too long has passed for him to accept that Megatron could ever be in the wrong about something, so he starts to repress this feelings and emotions full time
- Two fights later, stops offering to help Dinobot, convinced that it’s no more than Dinobot deserves
- Megatron’s followers start to leave
- Megatron starts planning the theft of the Golden Disc
- They steal the Golden Disc, escape Cybertron in search of the energon that the Disc is supposed to lead to
- Crash land on a jungle planet that turns out to be prehistoric Earth
- Dinobot leaves Megatron’s commend, Scorponok is installed as 2IC in his absence.
- More of Megatron’s anger falls on him, Terrorsaur, and Waspinator now that Dinobot isn’t there to take the brunt of it. Scorponok starts to truly resent Dinobot, as he can’t let himself hate Megatron
- Inferno is reprogrammed from the blank protoform he had been, adding another to the Predacon’s numbers
- Scorponok starts to become friends with Inferno, as he is the only other one who is truly loyal to Megatron
- Inferno grows in Megatron’s esteem
- The Alien installation on the second mood explodes due to Megatron’s meddling, and the resulting backlash destroys much of the Predacon ship, the Darksyde, and sends Scorponok and Terrorsaur falling into lava, killing them.

Scorponok 2/4

[identity profile] technokalissues.livejournal.com 2011-02-27 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Personality:

Scorponok is a minion. Since he had been protoformed, he’d been in the lower denomination of Predacon society, and that, to be honest, was the way he liked it. It was simple, clean, and he knew exactly where he belonged. The job of ‘master/leader/boss’ is currently held by Megatron, and Scorponok is slavishly loyal to him. Anyone who dares to imply that Megatron might not be the best leader to due to an attack from him, as if he let that go, then what use would he be?

Most of the time, he represses his own thoughts on Megatron, if they don’t’ fit what he thinks of as fitting how he should be thinking about Megatron. These days, without Dinobot there to shield him from the full brunt of Megatron’s anger, these thoughts are coming far more often then he likes, and he finds himself spending more and more time repressing and redirecting his thoughts and anger at Megatron. He spends time with Inferno as a sort of penitence tool- if he thinks poorly of one of Megatron’s plans, or is tempted to snark back at him, then he spends time with the ant in order to get his mind back in the proper mindset.

That said, he doesn’t bow down to everyone. He has a backbone, he just only shows it when Megatron isn’t there. He’s inclined to snarl and snark at his teammates, and he delights in shooting the Maximals, not just because he knows it brings him scant favor in Megatron’s eyes. He’s a low level sadist, and he delights in seeing his enemies cower before him. Unfortunately, he’s also a coward, and isn’t all that good at fighting. He has drones that he’s programmed, his Cyberbees, and he dotes over them, always trying to upgrade them- all in the plan to be more worthy of Megatron’s favor, of course. The problem is, he’s more than a little inept at programming AIs, and his nanotoxins don’t always do what he plans. Most of the time, they backfire on him, which just makes him all the more determined to do better next time. As such, he’s a workaholic, and he tends to forget to recharge and fuel up, which just adds to his inability at times, not that he ever connects the dots.

He’s insecure about his position as 2IC and it shows. He is always trying to push his will on his teammates, and in response, they react with distain, as the only reason he got the rank was because he was the only loyal one of Megatron’s minions. He hates the thought of anyone betraying Megatron, and has been known to attack his own teammates at the implication that they were disloyal.

[identity profile] oddfairy.livejournal.com 2011-03-01 01:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Cosmo (Cosmo Julius Cosma)
Fandom: The Fairly Odd Parents

Character Notes:

History: The show is fairly random and cracky with its notion of a timeline. It's not exactly linear or normal. Time travel can even change storylines and backgrounds. So history notes here will be taken just from what is known in season one and the feature-length Abra Catastrophe.

Cosmo is a fairy and one half of Timmy Turner's fairy godparents, given to him because he was a child in 'need'. Timmy's parents pretend to leave him which in turn causes him to hire a babysitter - Vicky - who turns out to be horrible. For a year Timmy is miserable and so Cosmo and his wife Wanda are sent in to help him in the form of wishes.

These two are rarely seen apart. They usually disguise themselves as Timmy's pet goldfish (except Wanda is pink in some way and Cosmo is green - which matches their hair and eye colours), but they can also transform into other creatures such as squirrels or mosquitoes or inanimate objects such as tooth brushes and schoolbooks - or pretty much anything at all, except Cosmo stays green and Wanda stays pink and their eyes can usually be seen.

Following Cosmo and Wanda's arrival, they go on a series of adventures - or misadventures - usually brought on by the wishes Timmy asks for. In season one these included:

* making Timmy an adult, which almost causes him to lose his fairy godparents due to the what is written in Da Rules (that all fairies have to follow) that they cannot grant wishes to adults. They get around this finally when Timmy acts childish enough for his wish to be young again to work.

* making a videogame where anyone can get sucked into the real game and therefore when they lose all their lives - they disappear.

* pulling a real alien from space, who then causes havoc.

* giving Timmy a dinosaur for show and tell which makes Timmy's teacher (Denzel Crocker) suspicious and so Cosmo and Wanda have to pose as Timmy's real parents.

* making Timmy popular to impress a girl he likes who is part of the popular crowd. Timmy almost loses his fairy godparents in this episode due to his increasingly selfish wishes and Cosmo poses as his defence lawyer - who is really no help at all.

* shrinking and ending up in the babysitter Vicky's body.

* bringing a comic superhero into the real world then having to send Timmy into the comic to convince the depressed hero that he's necessary (because he finds out he's fictional).

* switching Timmy with Vicky's dog.

* in the feature length Abra Catastrophe, Timmy gets a special muffin for managing to keep the secret of his having fairy godparents for a year. However, this muffin ends up being partially eaten by first a monkey and then Crocker, both of whom change the world to suit themselves because the muffin grants a wish that doesn't have to follow any of Da Rules.

Character: Dean Winchester
Fandom: Supernatural
Character Notes:
History:

- Born to John and Mary Winchester on January 24, 1979
- Dean’s brother, Sam born on May 2, 1983
- Dean’s mother, Mary is killed by the yellow eyed demon Azazel.
- Childhood home set on fire
- John, Dean, and Sam leave Lawrence, Kansas
- Dean is raised as a hunter by his father, moving from place to place, living out of hotel rooms and changing schools whenever necessary.This causes Dean to be unable to make real, lasting connections outside of his family. During this time, Dean effectively raises Sam, as their father is absent for long periods of time and distracted in the moments when he is around.
- Dean observes as fights about the hunting lifestyle between his brother and father escalate. He can’t step in, but makes his negative opinion on Sam’s opinion pretty clear.Sam eventually walks out on the family at the age of 18, choosing college over hunting. Dean is left feeling betrayed and angry. He continues to travel with his father, learning all he can.
- John goes missing.
- Dean, age 26, breaks into Sam’s home at Stanford to convince him to help him track down their dad. Sam agrees, so long as he can be back in time for a law school interview. The efforts turn up empty, but after Sam returns Sam to his home, all is not well. Sam’s girlfriend has been killed the same way their mother has. Luckily, Dean runs in and yanks Sam out of the fire. Dean and Sam head on the road to 1.) find their father and 2.) kill whatever murdered their mother and Sam’s girlfriend. The adventure begins~
- John’s voicemail now directs for all emergency calls for him to be rerouted to Dean’s number. The brothers begin to have access to previously untapped resources, as well as receive calls asking for help disposing of supernatural creatures. For as prepared as Dean might have thought he was to take on his father’s job, he soon realizes that this is going to be a crash course on running the whole show.
- Dean (sort of) faces his fear of flying for the greater good. A lead on a job takes Dean and his brother on board a plane, which reveals Dean’s intense fear of flying. This explains why most/all travel is done by car. Dean and Sam also exorcise a demon for the first time on this flight.
- A shapeshifter takes on the form of Dean and leads the police to believe that Dean is at fault for a string of murders. The creature is killed, however, and the police close the case, satisfied that the murderer can be declared dead.
- Dean is made aware that Sam has been experiencing precognitive abilities and struggles to understand what that means for them. He also meets a psychic named Missouri, who is mentioned in their father’s journal. The spirit of their mother reveals herself to Dean and Sam, yet the corporeal form of their father chooses to keep himself hidden at Missouri’s.
- Dean is electrocuted while hunting a creature, leaving his heart in a damaged state, and the outlook seeming poor. Sam locates a faith healer for Dean, who picks him out of the crowd and miraculously heals him of any heart condition. Unfortunately, the miracle came with a heavy price tag- with every life saved, another is lost. The cause of this has to do with the preacher’s wife controlling a Reaper (a servant of Death, responsible for ferrying souls to the hereafter).
- Dean receives a phone call about mysterious car accidents. The call comes from an ex-girlfriend, Cassie, who left him after learning what it is that he does with his life. In dealing with the case, Dean and Cassie end up rekindling their feelings for one another physically, but when Dean brings up the notion of trying again, Cassie turns him down. Burying the feelings in true Dean fashion, he heads out and shrugs it off, as if nothing is wrong.

Re: Dean Winchester || Supernatural || Reserved || 2/?

[identity profile] flickinmybic.livejournal.com 2011-03-02 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
- Dean witnesses first hand the dangerous abilities his brother may later possess. Another young man named Max is connected to a case Dean and Sam end up working on. The outcome of the murders points to Max being behind the deaths. Upon being discovered, Max turns on Dean. Sam is able to stop Max before it’s too late, but the fact that Sam may one day have powers that could turn that violent is a lot for Dean to handle.
- After witnessing the unforgiving truth of the worst of humanity, Dean is forced to come to terms with the fact that while the supernatural creatures he hunts are sick- nothing will ever compare to the twisted human mind.
- While hunting what a daeva, Dean discovers from Meg, a demon that Sam met when they had gone their separate ways, that there is a plan to capture John Winchester. The plan is thwarted, of course, but after the event, John concludes that it’s better for all of them that he stays separate from Dean and Sam
- The brothers face a creature that Dean had encountered before, some time ago. In a rare act of defiance, a young Dean left Sam alone briefly in order to have a bit of fun. He returned to find Sam being attacked by this same creature- a Shtriga. With his previous experience, the brothers are able to lay a trap and destroy the Shtriga. Dean regrets using a young boy named Michael in order to succeed, though, as he says the kid has lost his innocence now that he knows what lurks in the dark.
- Dean and Sam learn about the Colt, a legendary gun that is capable of killing anything- including the demon that killed Mary Winchester, Sam’s girlfriend Jessica, and others. The Colt was taken from a family friend by a group of vampires. The gun’s legend is tested true by killing a vampire without beheading. John agrees to let the boys come with him to hunt the Yellow Eyed Demon together.
- Dean attempts to contact his father after John has gone off to make a deal with Meg. Meg answers, claiming that John is beyond saving. Dean and Sam end up at the home of Bobby, another hunter. While there, Meg attacks, but is caught under a Devil’s Trap in Bobby’s house. Dean demands that Sam exorcise the demon, despite Bobby’s warning that the damages done to the human body will kill the girl that Meg has possessed. The girl dies, but gives Dean a clue to find his father. Dean and Sam do find John, but only to realize that he has been possessed by the demon that killed their mother. Torn, they hesitate which leads to a great deal of injury to all parties. The demon is expelled from John Winchester by a shot to the leg from the legendary Colt. The three Winchesters are in transit to the hospital when they are struck by a semi truck being driven by a demon-possessed individual.
- After the accident, Dean slips into a coma and has an out of body experience. He encounters another Reaper who calls herself Tessa. She explains that the angry spirits that Dean sees so frequently are actually those of people who refuse to move on. Dean never gets a chance to decide whether to move on or not, as his father makes a deal with the Yellow Eyed Demon and trades his own life for his son’s. Dean is returned to his body, completely forgetting the entire encounter.
- Dean meets Ellen and Jo Harvelle
- Dean admits that the world isn’t as black and white as he wants it to be after meeting with a hunter named Gordon who reveals that he killed his own sister after she was turned into a vampire.
- Dean reveals to his brother that his father told him that if Sam were ever to become evil, that it was his job to kill him.
- Dean is duped by a demon possessing the body of his brother Sam. The encounter forces Dean to realize that he doesn’t have it in him to kill his brother, even when it means his own survival.
- Dean goes to prison! But on purpose. Still, he fits in remarkably well.

Current Characters: Aria Montgomery, Sage Baker

Character: Ginevra Molly Weasley
Fandom: Harry Potter
Character Notes:
History: Ginny Weasley was born on 11th August 1981, the youngest of seven children born to Arthur and Molly and the first girl born into the Weasley family for some generations. Growing up, Ginny learned very quickly how to stand her ground and also became accustomed to the fact that the family didn't have a whole lot of money. And as soon as she was old enough to understand, she was simply desperate to attend Hogwarts - not least because as she got older, she found herself with fewer of her brothers around during term-time.

On September 1st 1992, Ginny finally got her wish and joined her siblings (save for Charlie and Bill) in going to Hogwarts. As with all of her brothers before her, she was sorted into Gryffindor. Her first year was made more difficult than anticipated for two reasons: firstly, that she had begun to develop a crush on her brother Ron's best friend - the one and only Harry Potter - and secondly, she had come into possession of an enchanted diary that turned out to be a vessel for a young Voldemort, then still going by the name Tom Riddle. Through the course of the year, Riddle possessed Ginny several times in order to open the Chamber of Secrets and unleash the basilisk that resided within. Towards the end of the school year, Riddle lured Ginny to the Chamber so that he could sacrifice her and become fully human once more. Fortunately, Harry was able to destroy the diary and Ginny was saved.

Ginny's second year was marginally less eventful, although her experiences the previous year made her more susceptible to the effects of the Dementors. She continued to crush on Harry and was unable to get past her shyness around him until the summer before her third year when, following Hermione's advice, she began to relax around Harry and let more of her true personality show. Her third year also saw her start to turn her attention to other boys, although platonically so at first - she accompanied Neville to the Yule Ball, agreeing to do so before Harry made a move to ask her. Though she was jealous over Harry's interest in Cho Chang, Ginny soon found another boy to capture her interest: Michael Corner. With her new relationship, her confidence around Harry grew - but darker times were on the way.

With Voldemort's return to power and the iron rule of new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher Dolores Umbridge, Ginny joined the secret group formed by Harry that was designed to let them learn the defensive magic Umbridge refused to teach them. It was she who came up with the name Dumbledore's Army. Her fourth year also saw Ginny join the Gryffindor Quidditch team as Seeker after Harry, Fred and George were banned. But it wasn't until her father was attacked by Voldemort's pet snake Nagini that Ginny became more involved with the fight. She and Harry bonded over the fact that they had both been possessed by Voldemort and although he tried to dissuade her, she was part of the group that went to the Ministry on what they thought was a rescue mission. The ensuing fight with the Death Eaters saw her break her ankle, but with the help of members of the Order of the Phoenix the group managed to escape. At the end of her fourth year, Ginny dumped Michael - who had been sulking since the Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw Quidditch match - and started dating Dean Thomas.

Re: Ginny Weasley || Harry Potter || Reserved || 2/3

[identity profile] fair-weasley.livejournal.com 2011-03-02 11:27 am (UTC)(link)
At the start of Ginny's fifth year, she was inducted into the "Slug Club", a select group chosen by new Potions teacher Horace Slughorn after he witnessed her casting her signature Bat-Bogey Hex at Zacharias Smith. She tried out for a Chaser position on the Quidditch team and easily made the roster. But her relationship with Dean was causing tensions with Ron and the siblings grew frosty toward one another, even more so once Ron started dating Lavender. But when Ron was accidentally poisoned on his birthday things improved between them and Ginny's relationship with Dean was slowly but surely falling apart. In the April of her fifth year, she finally split up with Dean and instead began spending more time with Ron and Harry. This culminated in Ginny and Harry kissing while celebrating Gryffindor's win of the Quidditch Cup. With Ron's grudging consent, the couple dated for a brief time but following a Death Eater attack on Hogwarts during which Dumbledore was killed, Harry broke things off with Ginny as he prepared to take down Voldemort once and for all.

That summer, Ginny remained at home with her mother while her father and brothers assisted in transporting Harry from the Dursleys' home. She returned to Hogwarts, now under the rule of Snape, and revived Dumbledore's Army with the help of Neville and Luna. During the Battle of Hogwarts she was initially forbidden from joining the fight, due to the fact that she was underage, and was sent to wait in the Room of Requirements. However, when it transpired that Harry needed the room to find a Horcrux, Ginny was able to join in with the fight. She was nearly killed by Bellatrix LeStrange but her mother, Molly, stepped in and saved her.

When the war was over, Ginny and Harry were free to pursue their relationship. Ginny went on to be a professional Quidditch player for the Holyhead Harpies for several years, after which she retired to start a family and became senior Quidditch correspondent for the Daily Prophet. She and Harry had three children together: James Sirius, Albus Severus, and Lily Luna.

But all of this is in this Ginny's future, as she is being brought in from the same timeline as the rest of the bb!cast.

Personality: Growing up as the youngest of seven children and as the only girl has been both a blessing and a curse for Ginny. On the one hand, it has left her tough enough to stand her ground with her brothers and to hold her own in a household where she is very much bottom of the pile. On the other hand, she has not yet crossed the line from “holding her own” to standing out. Maybe it’s from being coddled by her mother and older siblings, maybe it’s a means of self-preservation but either way, Ginny tends to keep to herself and prefers not to draw attention to herself. That doesn’t mean that she won’t stand up for the people she cares about, but being centre of attention doesn’t suit her and this means that she can be quick to back down after her initial outburst. This is something that will improve over time but for the time being, Ginny is, if not happy existing somewhat in the background, willing to accept this as a consequence of her current insecurity.

History: A long time ago (maybe three or four months, in fact) in a galaxy far, far away (or at least on a premium cable channel), there existed a land by the name of Equestria. A world of ponies and magic, Equestria was ruled peacefully for years innumerable by the powerful Princess Celestia. Responsible for the sun rising and setting every day, one could argue that she ruled the land far more thoroughly than your normal monarch. Not all was as it seemed, though - a thousand years prior, there was another princess alongside Celestia who was in charge of the nighttime. However, she grew jealous of the ponies' love for the daytime and the fact that they slept through her beautiful night, and conspired to steal away the day from all of Equestria, leaving nothing but an endless darkness. She was stopped and sealed within the moon by Princess Celestia, who took the moon mare's duties over in her absence.

One thousand is a very powerful number, though, and one that is quite important in prophecies. It was foretold that on the longest day of the thousandth year of Nightmare Moon's imprisonment, the cosmos would be in proper alignment for her to be freed once more. However, one thousand years is much longer than the lifetime of any normal pony, so the prophetic warning faded into obscurity, waved off as a simple fairy tale by all but a single girl by the name of Twilight Sparkle, a young unicorn who just happened to be Princess Celestia's prized student. She tried her best to warn Princess Celestia of the oncoming troubles, but was met with a confounding reply - that she needed to get her nose out of those stuffy old books and spend some time making friends, instead. As a pretext to just that, Celestia sent Twilight to the town of Ponyville to make sure preparations for their one thousandth Sun Festival were properly underway.

At the same time, coaching a chorus of birds large and small to sing their little birdy hearts out for the Princess's arrival at the festival was a pegasus by the name of Fluttershy. That rehearsal was cut short, though, as Twilight Sparkle cantered into Fluttershy's life, spooking the heck out of the timid pegasus. She was a new pony. More importantly than that, she snuck up on her and now she was asking all these questions! Absolutely, positively terrified, Fluttershy wanted nothing more than to just go find a hole somewhere and hide in it... that is, until Twilight's companion, a dragon hatchling named Spike, poked his head up from behind Twilight's mane. Not only was he so adorable that she could squeal, but he also wasn't a pony that would think she was strange or anything! She opened up almost immediately to the dragonling, filling him in on all she was doing to help with the festival's proceedings.

On a normal year's Sun Festival, that would be that, and that would be the end of the story. But this wasn't a normal Sun Festival. The prophecy came true, and instead of setting the sun on the longest day of the year, Princess Celestia turned up missing. In her place was the dreadful Nightmare Moon, who set the sun... but vowed that it would be for good! Nobody knew what to do... except for Twilight Sparkle. Knowing the only way to stop Nightmare Moon was to gather the Elements of Harmony, Twilight set off for the Everfree Forest, an unnatural place where things like weather and plant growth just... happened, with no influence from ponies whatsoever. But she was not alone - five other ponies, all considering themselves friends of Twilight Sparkle, walked in the forest along with her, including the timid Fluttershy.

Though her skittish nature kept her from tackling most obstacles head-on, Fluttershy's own skills came into play more than once - with the help of another pegasus named Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy's flight saved Twilight from a terrible fall almost right away.

Karkat Vantas | Homestuck | Reserved | Part 2/???

[identity profile] captainlilith.livejournal.com 2011-03-04 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Character Notes:
History: We’re first introduced to Karkat as a chat troll who pesters the kids, mostly Jade and John, verbally abusing them because of what they had (in his perspective) or would (in their perspective) do. Timelines are really screwed up in Homestuck. Through the magic of Trollian, the chat client the trolls use, Karkat can effectively troll backwards through the kids’ timeline, so that every successive conversation he has with John happens earlier and earlier in John’s life. It’s pretty confusing for John and extremely frustrating for Karkat, but Karkat is nothing if not stubborn, and refuses to stop. Also, Karkat sucks at trolling.

ANYWAY. Karkat is the leader of a group of twelve trolls total who played a game called SGRUB. They thought they were just playing a game, but really they were restoring the balance of light and dark in the universe and creating their own universe over which they were to rule as gods. BUUUUUUUUT that didn’t work out because of the Scratch, a rift which disrupted pretty much everything and took away the trolls’ chance at their ultimate reward.

This pissed them off ROYALLY. Well, mostly just Karkat because everything pisses off Karkat, and when they relocated to their secret awesome meteor base and started watching over the planet they had created, they discovered the ones responsible for the Scratch. It was the Homestuck kids; John, Jade, Dave, and Rose. Karkat immediately ordered his group of friends to troll the kids as RETRIBUTION for what they had done. Instead they ended up being a sort of set of guides for the kids on their misadventures through the same game the trolls themselves had played.

BUT the kids’ game was DOOMED because of various shenanigans that Karkat blamed on Jade and John but were really Vriska’s fault. In any case, Karkat does his best to guide the kids in a way that will hopefully avoid future problems, but Karkat’s rambling insults and backwards trolling really only confuse matters. He does manage to explain the situation pretty clearly to John, but since he is trolling backwards, John doesn’t really get the information he needs when he needs it. Also John is a derp, but we’ll save that for John’s app.

Character Notes:
History:

As it usually is with characters who have traumatising pasts, Sasuke's history starts off happy; he was born into the famous Uchiha clan in Konohagakure, to a loving family. His mother was kind and caring, his father was strict but pushed him to become better, and his brother Itachi loved him unconditionally. His childhood wasn't perfect - his father paid much more attention to Itachi, the prodigious star of the clan, and thought that Sasuke didn't even have a chance to compare, so Sasuke was often jealous of Itachi and also bitter because he didn't get to spend as much time with his beloved brother as he would have liked - but it was good and he was happy most of the time. He was loved and he loved everyone.

However, when he was 7, he returned home to a disturbing sight - the entire Uchiha clan had been brutally massacred. He frantically ran deeper and deeper into the nightmarish scene, looking for his family amidst the slaughter, and when he made it inside his house, he found his parents' corpses on the floor and Itachi standing over them. Although he refused to believe that his brother could have killed everyone at first, Itachi used his Mangekyou Sharingan to trap Sasuke in an illusion, in which he forced Sasuke to witness Itachi slaughtering the entire clan, murdering their parents. But at the end of the night, he allowed Sasuke to live, and he left him with one last instruction; to live, to hate him and to kill him. It's those last words that Sasuke spends the next five years living by.

The series begins just as Sasuke, age 12, graduates from the academy with top marks and officially becomes a ninja, Genin level. He's placed in a squad with Naruto, Sakura and their leader, Kakashi. They have a rocky start, but the three of them together manage to pass Kakashi's test, which is pretty much unheard of, and thus begins the adventures of Team 7. ... But they actually spend a while doing useless odd-jobs and boring "kid stuff" until Naruto complains to the Hokage insistently enough that it lands them a better mission: playing bodyguard to a bridge-builder as he returns to his village. It's supposed to be a fairly safe and simple mission, only ranking a C on the descending A-B-C-D difficulty scale.

It's not. It turns out that the bridge-builder is being hunted by assassins, and the mission should be at least a B-rank, if not A-rank. Still, they decide that they should keep going with it and get the guy to his village - and by the time they're nearly there, they run into Zabuza, an extremely powerful assassin who is often called a "demon". Kakashi nearly ends up losing to him, but through some brilliant teamwork, Naruto and Sasuke manage to save him, and Kakashi has Zabuza right on the verge of defeat; unfortunately, his partner Haku jumps in and whisks him away to safety. Thinking that he's dead because of some identity fraud on Haku's part, Team 7 continues with their mission and decide to stay with the bridge-builder as protection until his project is complete.

The peace doesn't last for long, because Zabuza and Haku return to assassinate the bridge-builder, and naturally, Team 7 steps up to fight - without Naruto, because he slept in that morning and they didn't wake him up. (Really.) While Kakashi takes on Zabuza and Sakura protects the bridge-builder, Sasuke goes up against Haku and it's thanks to this fight that he uses his Uchiha bloodline ability, the Sharingan, for the first time. He holds his own very well until Haku unleashes his ice mirror attack, which traps Sasuke inside while Haku throws needles at him. It seems to have taken a turn for the worst, but then Naruto finally makes his appearance and stupidly gets himself caught up in the ice mirror jutsu with Sasuke. Sasuke manages to keep the battle even because of his speed and Sharingan, but Haku decides to aim his attacks at Naruto instead, and Sasuke throws himself in the way to save Naruto, willing to die for him.

Character: Anastasia Tremaine
Fandom: Disney's Cinderella
Character Notes:
Please note that while 'Cinderella 3: Twist in Time' was made after 'Cinderella 2: Dreams Come True,' I'll be placing the events of 2 before 3, as that is the only way I could get the order of certain events to make sense. Also I overdid it beyond belief may have included a few details that weren't needed. I kind of really love Anastasia, and I apologize for the novel I wrote you.
History: Anastasia Tremaine grew up spoiled. At a very young age, her mother remarried a moderately wealthy man with a child of his own. For a while, Anastasia and her sister Drizella lived peacefully with the young girl, but soon their stepfather grew sick and died. After that, their mother took over the household. Anastasia's stepsister became known as Cinderella, as sweeping cinders out of the fire place was only one of many chores she was put in charge of. Anastasia grew up with Cinderella at her beck and call, and therefor became selfish and bratty. Her mother taught her to think of herself as better than everyone else, especially Cinderella.

This May Be More Detail Than You Wanted Part 2

[identity profile] destinyinmotion.livejournal.com 2011-03-07 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Things changed a bit when Cinderella married the Prince. Suddenly, Anastasia and Drizella were required to look after themselves and take care of the house, with little to no help from their mother. Things quickly fell into chaos, with dishes piling up, laundry everywhere, and dust covering everything. Needing a break, Anastasia wandered off into the woods, dreaming of marrying her own Prince Charming. There, she stumbled onto Cinderella's anniversary party, where she learned that Cinderella's Fairy Godmother had orchestrated most of the events of the previous year. Anastasia managed to grab the magic wand and brought it back to her mother. Once the wand's power was proven, Lady Tremaine used it to turn back the previous year to when the Prince's servants had come looking for the girl who fit the slipper. With her newfound magic, she charmed the glass slipper to fit Anastasia before Cinderella could even get down the stairs.

At the palace, the Prince knew instantly that Anastasia was not the girl he danced with. Another quick spell from Lady Tremaine took care of that, and soon they were planning the wedding.

Life in the palace wasn't all it was cracked up to be for Anastasia. While she quickly grew close to the King, she wasn't receiving what she truly wanted from Prince Charming: True love. She soon began to feel guilty, though she believed that she was getting everything she wished for.

During all this chaos, the mice, Jaq and Gus, found Prince Charming and told him all about the spell he was under, with some new information: Lady Tremaine had banished Cinderella from the land. The Prince was able to save her from the ship carting her away, but the Tremaine's fled before they could receive any punishment. This helped Anastasia realize that the Prince didn't love her, and the guilt set in further.

Lady Tremaine, however, was not quite ready to give up. While Cinderella was getting ready for her wedding, Lady Tremaine cast a spell on Anastasia to make her look exactly like Cinderella. Anastasia was clearly uncomfortable with this plan, but before Cinderella could convince her to change her mind, Lady Tremain transported Cinderella out of the castle, and into an enchanted pumpkin that was leading her straight to her death. With the help of the mice, Cinderella excaped just in time to crash her own wedding.

Dressed as Cinderella, Anastasia's guilt finally got to her, and instead of saying 'I do,' she said 'I don't.' Confronted with her mother's rage, Anastasia admitted that all she wanted was for someone to love her for who she was. She was almost cursed by her mother, but Cinderella stood in front of her, and the prince defended both of them with his sword, deflecting the spell onto Drizella and Lady Tremaine, who were transported elsewhere and turned into frogs.

Anastasia transformed herself back, and gave the wand to Cinderella. Together, they summoned the Fairy Godmother. Anastasia left the wedding, but escaped punishment, and in fact was told by the King that everyone deserves true love.

A few weeks later, as Cinderella was just settling into her role as a Princess, the Kingdom held another ball. Anastasia was living back with her mother and stepsister, who (presumably as a side effect of the backfired curse) treated her much as they had before, but with a bit more favoritism towards Drizella. Likewise, Anastasia had reverted to her spoiled self, but with a softer side hidden away from her mother. While out shopping the day before the ball, Anastasia met and fell in love with a baker. Her mother forbade her from speaking to him, insisting that Anastasia woo a nobleman at the ball.

Character Notes:

History:
» Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Episode Zero
Episode Zero is a prequel manga that takes place at various points before the series and gives a bit more information on the backgrounds of the main characters. At the start of Quatre's chapter, we see a much different person from the sweet, good-natured pilot in the series. He's resentful and hates himself, feeling that he's a pawn that can easily be replaced because of the way he was born.

When space colonies were first developed, the harsh conditions of space led to reproductive abnormalities, so only artificial reproduction via test tubes was permitted. Fortunately, by AC 100 (100 years "After Colony" development), most of the issues were overcome, and natural childbirth was allowed again. The Winner family had been in space from the very beginning, however, which led to a predisposition to complications. As a result, 29 of Zayeed's children--all daughters--were test tube babies. The thirtieth child, Quatre, was the first and only one who was born naturally, but it was at the cost of his mother Quatrine's life. Quatre was never told this, though, believing himself to be one more obedient tool created for the sole benefit of the Winner Corporation. His purpose was to be an heir and nothing more.

Fast forward thirteen years. Feeling worthless, Quatre decided to run away to Earth. During the trip, the Winner shuttle was hijacked by the Maganac Corps, a forty-man army of mobile suit pilots. They took the shuttle hostage in an attempt to free the workers on the MO-III satellite, where they were being held without proper pay. When they contacted Zayeed Winner and explained their cause, Zayeed supported them and granted access to any of the Winner resources they might find on the satellite. He then asked to speak to Quatre, whom he was surprised to see on the shuttle. It prompted an outburst from Quatre, who explained that running away to Earth was his way of showing his father that he wasn't just a tool for the Winner family and that he could act and think for himself. Unimpressed with this reaction, Rashid, the head of the Maganac, smacked Quatre across the face and told him to have some pride in himself. It turned out that Rashid and the rest of the Maganac Corps were test tube babies as well; the fact that Quatre thought of himself as a mere creation because of the way he was born was an insult to them. "No matter what your circumstances, once you've been given the gift of life, you must live a life you can be proud of. That's the way of the Maganac."

This philosophy awakened something in Quatre. From that point, he began to change, discovering the compassionate soul he truly possessed. It started with his discovery of a traitor among the Maganac. Yuda was a double-spy for the Alliance (a coalition of most of Earth's nations, which exercised oppressive control over the space colonies) and notified them of the Maganac's coordinates. This resulted in an unexpected attack. When Rashid wondered how they'd been found so quickly, Quatre informed them of Yuda's betrayal and led the man, bound by ropes, to stand before the Maganac. Unfortunately, the ropes weren't tied very well; Yuda escaped and grabbed another man's gun, firing a shot at Rashid. Quatre attempted to intervene by jumping in front of the bullet, but it went through his shoulder and hit Rashid, anyway.

With their captain incapacitated, the Maganac set out to battle the Alliance on their own. Surprisingly, Quatre insisted that he help, wanting a chance to prove that he was useful so that he could be proud of himself. Although they were hesitant at first, Rashid told them to give Quatre his goggles and to let him pilot his mobile suit.

aradia megid0 | h0mestuck

[personal profile] screwloose 2011-03-14 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Character Notes:
History: Aradia is a troll on the world of Alternia. She lives in a hive in an isolated part of the world where there are lots of ruins and ancient stuff all over. She digs for ancient ruins in her backyard, all around her lawnring and doesn't seem to have any other hives nearby.

In the time before the events in Homestuck really start (though it's hard to say when the story officially starts considering everything happens in all sorts of timeframes and the events on the troll world are technically millions of years before the events on Earth), she's a fairly normal low-caste red-blooded troll girl with an interest in archaeology and a fairly dangerous hobby playing a roleplaying game called FLARP in which people have the potential to be horribly maimed and/or killed. She also hears the voices of the dead, which tell her about the future.

Vriska, who is a really big bitch, runs a FLARP session for Aradia and her friends, and psychically controls Tavros into jumping off a cliff, thereby paralyzing him. When Aradia finds out about this, she sends the spirits of the dead to harry and torment Vriska in revenge. Vriska has her own vengeance against Aradia, by sending Sollux, Aradia's possible boyfriend to Aradia's house and mind-controlling him into eating mind honey, which causes his psychic powers to go out of control and destroy Aradia's home, thus killing Aradia and her guardian lusus.

Yeah, I said killing. But the story doesn't end there.

Aradia drifts as a ghost with incredibly enhanced psychic powers and a big chip on her shoulder for a while. No one but possibly Vriska realizes that Aradia is dead. They only think that she's gotten pretty boring and lost interest in most things that she used to love.

When the 12 trolls begin playing the sGrub game (a game which Aradia discovered during her life in the ruins and gave to Sollux to figure out since he's a hacker type) Aradia enters the game as part of the blue team, with Nepeta as her server player and acting as the server player for Equius, a position she knew she had to take. Because of the whispers of the dead, she basically knows what to do and quickly prototypes her sprite with a big stone frog head, then enters the medium. Her world is the Land of Quartz and Melody and she is given the title of the Maid of Time. At that point, she prototypes herself, becoming a sprite - since she's dead, she can do that.

Equius travels to Aradia's world, with a present he carefully prepared for her - a robotic body for her to inhabit. Aradiasprite quickly merges with the robotic body, and then discovers that not only had Equius given the robot body blue blood (which is one of the highest castes), but he had programmed the body to give her feelings of desire and love towards him, since he's kindof been obsessing over her from afar and is basically a big stuck up blue-blooded asshole. She rips the heart with its programming from her own chest with her bare hands, but that doesn't stop the feelings, and she makes out with him.

Jerk.

From a headcanon perspective, I think he's likely her kismesis, which is like hatesex on the troll relationship quadrant thingy. Particularly since I'm pretty sure Sollux filled the matesprit quadrant, and also she kinda obviously hates Equius. It's pretty clear that he wanted the matesprit status, but maybe then he shouldn't have helped kill her and then tried to manipulate her artificially into loving him. Just saying.

Anyway, using her gift of foresight and her powers as the Maid of Time, Aradia causes thousands of versions of herself from splintered-off timelines to travel through time to the point at which the twelve trolls were fighting the final boss. With the help of the Aradia army, they were successful at defeating their boss, but just as Karkat was about to open the door and receive their reward, a rift opened from the newly-created human universe, and the prize was snatched from their grasp. Aradia managed to teleport the twelve troll kids to an asteroid, sacrificing the rest of the army (but they were fated to die anyway) and the troll kids proceeded to troll the human kids and generally just hang out trying to figure out what to do next.

Character: Sollux Captor/twinArmageddons because one wasn't enough, evidently
Fandom: Homestuck
Character Notes:
History: Great question.
Personality: Basically, he- okay fine, I'll attempt to muddle through Homestuck's fucked up canon for you guys.
History: At the beginning of Act 5 we get introduced to the Trolls, an alien race of, well. Trolls. In the Internet sense of the word, not the under-a-bridge one. Sollux is one of the first couple introduced, mostly because he's kinda. The reason the Trolls get royally fucked later on, kinda, if you want to point fingers like a dick. Anyway, before the whole Game Touching Off The End Of Days Thing, Sollux lives in a communal hive stem (read: highrise apartment) with his Lusus/guardian/pet two-headed cybiclops living up on the roof.

And then, he pulls a Cassandra on everyone and reveals he had a dream where the whole planet dies. Him especially. He will die the worst. Because Sollux is a huge fucking drama queen when he wants to be. He will die so bad, he dies twice. Technically he was half-right; his prophetic dream was about the Trolls' dream selves and those were the only things that ended up getting killed though.

But I'm getting ahead of myself, he introduces the other 11 to Sburb because he figures that is the only way they can save their planet and not die. Turns out he was a little off about that too. Though maybe it would have gone better if he hadn't inadvertently cursed Karkat and killed all the Trolls' Lusus... -es? Lusii? ...yeah.

So ten of the Trolls, minus him and Feferi, are already in The Medium playing and such, and then, when the two of them enter, Sollux('s first dreamself) is dead and KK cries like a little bitch and Fef kisses the corpse.

I told you, this canon is pretty fucked.

But regardless, Sollux is still alive and kickin' after all that weird shit so that he can be with the others as they help/troll the kids. Because he refuses to stoop to that level because he is evidently too mature for that shit and originally only functions as their IT guy. Because he is well known as a totally epic hacker.

And then. He gets his eyes poked out by a hipsterfish and Karkat drops him down some stairs and knocks his teeth out. Funny enough, this ends up mellowing his bipolar ass the fuck out because without his 9000 fangs he doesn’t sound like a stereotypical gay man anymore, and he doesn’t have to listen to future voices telling him how fuck his friends and he are. So yeah.

Kristoph Gavin | Ace Attorney | freaking character limits

[identity profile] coolestinwest.livejournal.com 2011-03-15 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Kristoph Gavin
Fandom: Ace Attorney
Character Notes:
History: - was supposed to defend Zak Gramarye but Zak replaced him with Phoenix Wright after Kristoph failed at playing poker
- Kristoph was like SAY WHAT and he forged evidence, slipping it to Phoenix who presented it like a silly person and got himself barred
- seven years later, Phoenix was accused of murdering some guy called Shadi Smith over a poker game
- Apollo Justice defends Phoenix and by the end of the trial, with Phoenix's help, shows that the actual culprit was in fact Kristoph Gavin
- AND THEN CASES HAPPEN
- Vera Misham is accused of poisoning her own father, a forger and in fact the forger who forged the evidence Phoenix used in that ~fateful trial~ seven years ago - also the forger is a fake because Vera is the real forger
- AND THEN VERA IS POISONED IN THE MIDDLE OF HER OWN TRIAL
- tl;dr Kristoph arranged for Drew Misham to get a poisoned stamp but he didn't use the stamp until seven years after getting it, leading to the present murder trial. Kristoph put poison in Vera's nail polish because she bit her nails when she got nervous and he knew that if she ever had to go outside, she'd bite her nails, get poisoned and thus never reveal his involvement with the Mishams
- EVENTUALLY Phoenix puts the pieces together and he and Apollo bring to light the whole story behind the case and show that Kristoph is the real culprit in everything
- Kristoph has a massive freakout and his final moments in the game are simply the echoes of his maniacal laughter in the courtroom

[identity profile] dr34msbl1nd.livejournal.com 2011-03-17 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Terezi Pyrope aka gallowsCalibrator
Fandom: Homestuck
Character Notes:
History: Long ago in a galaxy far far away-

Yeah no, we're not gonna go there. Homestuck's canon is confusing as hell, and currently there's no ending as the series is still ongoing.

Millions of years before Earth's existence or even the creation of our own solar system, there was a planet in another galaxy by the name of Alternia. On said planet were trolls, twelve specifically, that had gathered together onto two teams (red and blue) to play a game. The game, called Sburb, was for fun and all but turned out to be the game that would essentially help to create a new universe and make the players as gods.

Only... that didn't end up happening. See, when they were about to Ascend and everything, there was a rip in time and a newly created universe decided to fuck everything over and steal THE ULTIMATE REWARD as it was called. This newly created universe? Was actually the one created by the trolls, and inhabited by a notorious asshole by the name of Jack Noir. He flew over, wrecked havoc and blew everything to hell and back.

And in this new universe resided humans, or more specifically- John, Rose, Dave, and Jade. These four would be the ones to end their world by playing Sburb and trying to get through the Seven Gates to Skaia. When the trolls found these kids (since they hid on a meteor to survive from Jack Noir's impending wrath) Karkat ordered them (like a dumbass) to TROLL them for fucking up their future. But after a while they decided to help these kids get through the gates, if only through their trollish ways, because it would help fix things in their realm too. Terezi is definitely one of the first ones to do it (even if she tried to kill John at first o-otl).

Now let's back up a little here- there's a bit of backstory that really affects Terezi that I haven't mentioned. And it's pretty major.

Before the actual events of Homestuck began, Terezi was a part of an extreme roleplaying group known as FLARP. It was better regarded as EXTREME ROLEPLAYING in which trolls would get together and do EXTREME THINGS created by hoverflies/holograms. She and her rival Vriska Serket usually were on the same team and tried to best each other in every way. In fact, Terezi grew infamous and was always known as R3D_GL4R3 to her opponents.

Well, Vriska is BLUH BLUH HUGE BITCH and decides to have "fun" in the FLARP by manipulating Tavros, making him think he's Pupa Pan and then throwing him off a cliff, therefore paralyzing him. Hearing about this, Terezi and Aradia discuss and think of ways to plot revenge, though Terezi warns Aradia to let it go and let her handle it, since she knows how Vriska acts.

Unfortunately, Aradia listens to the voices in her head instead of Terezi and decides to curse Vriska with the seeing of ghosts she's killed from the past. As a way to get back at Aradia and end the haunting, she manipulates Sollux into eating Mind Honey, has him go fucking ballistic, and blow up Aradia's entire hive. Thus, this kills Aradia.

Character Notes:
History: Homura is a transfer student at Mitakihara middle school. She's been in the hospital recovering from a heart disease, so is generally shy and nervous, having been out of school for so long. Failing to solve problems at the board because of the break in her education and fainting in gym class make her feel even more worthless-- and a prime target for a witch, beings who spread despair and sadness. She's saved from the witch by Madoka, who she met in school, and her teammate Mami-- both Puella Magi, or magical girls. She doesn't become one herself just yet-- not until Walpurgis Night, the arrival of a powerful witch who kills Madoka, her first and only friend.

Kyuubey, the girls' animal familiar, offers to contract Homura to become a magical girl as well-- a contract that involves her fighting witches in exchange for one wish. She wishes to redo meeting Madoka, except as a girl who can protect her.

She's again just getting out of the hospital, and again transferring into Mitakihara. Except this time she seems a little less shy and nervous-- she's done this before, after all. And then she... runs up to Madoka and tells her that she fights the witches too!! Yeah, Homura is not very smooth just yet. It all works out, though, with Mami and Madoka helping her learn how to use her new powers, which include the ability to stop time. It stops working out right around Walpurgis Night; Madoka doesn't die, but her overuse of power turns her soul gem into a grief seed and she becomes a witch.

Oh, didn't I mention that magical girls eventually become witches? Fair's fair; the girls didn't know either.

Homura turns back time again, and on this round, she tells the other magical girls (Sayaka included this time) about how Kyuubey didn't tell them the whole truth. They don't react well, thinking she's trying to sow dissent among them along with newcomer Kyoko. When Sayaka turns into a witch, however, they see the truth; Mami breaks down and kills Kyoko, saying that it would be better to just die now than become a witch. Madoka has to kill her in order to stop her killing Homura and herself, and Madoka and Homura face Walpurgis Night alone. Their overexertion sends them both along the path to witchhood, but Madoka cleans Homura's soul gem, asking her to please kill her before she becomes a witch, and crying, she does. Homura resolves to prevent Madoka from ever becoming a magical girl in the first place, at the other girl's request.

Character: Karkat Vantas
Fandom: Homestuck (MS Paint Adventures)
Character Notes:
History: We’re first introduced to Karkat as a chat troll who pesters the kids, mostly Jade and John, verbally abusing them because of what they had (in his perspective) or would (in their perspective) do. Timelines are really screwed up in Homestuck. Through the magic of Trollian, the chat client the trolls use, Karkat can effectively troll backwards through the kids’ timeline, so that every successive conversation he has with John happens earlier and earlier in John’s life. It’s pretty confusing for John and extremely frustrating for Karkat, but Karkat is nothing if not stubborn, and refuses to stop. Also, Karkat sucks at trolling.

ANYWAY. Karkat is the leader of a group of twelve trolls total who played a game called SGRUB. They thought they were just playing a game, but really they were restoring the balance of light and dark in the universe and creating their own universe over which they were to rule as gods. BUUUUUUUUT that didn’t work out because of the Scratch, a rift which disrupted pretty much everything and took away the trolls’ chance at their ultimate reward.

This pissed them off ROYALLY. Well, mostly just Karkat because everything pisses off Karkat, and when they relocated to their secret awesome meteor base and started watching over the planet they had created, they discovered the ones responsible for the Scratch. It was the Homestuck kids; John, Jade, Dave, and Rose. Karkat immediately ordered his group of friends to troll the kids as RETRIBUTION for what they had done. Instead they ended up being a sort of set of guides for the kids on their misadventures through the same game the trolls themselves had played.

BUT the kids’ game was DOOMED because of various shenanigans that Karkat blamed on Jade and John but were really Vriska’s fault. In any case, Karkat does his best to guide the kids in a way that will hopefully avoid future problems, but Karkat’s rambling insults and backwards trolling really only confuse matters. He does manage to explain the situation pretty clearly to John, but since he is trolling backwards, John doesn’t really get the information he needs when he needs it. Also John is a derp, but we’ll save that for John’s app.

Karkat Vantas | Homestuck | TRYING AGAIN | 2/3 or 4

[identity profile] leaderofall.livejournal.com 2011-03-17 05:23 am (UTC)(link)

Personality: Karkat is impatient, crabby, rude, and constantly insulting. He is reluctant to admit his personal emotions… except when they’re negative, which seems to be all the time. He raaaaages. He becomes frustrated very easily, and even his most sincere advice often is presented as insults.

Over time, however, it’s revealed that he really does care about his friends, even if he’d never admit it. He seems to genuinely want to help out when people come to him for advice in their extremely complicated troll romances, and everything he does is out of an effort to make sure things turn out right for everyone. He is honestly and truly broken up over the deaths of several friends throughout the story, and often blames himself when things go wrong.

This does not stop him from blaming others when he thinks something’s their fault, though. His first interactions with Jade and John are particularly rude and insulting because he believes it’s their fault for all the problems that the kids and trolls have and will encounter over time. He does his best to reason with them over certain decisions he thinks were badly made, but Karkat’s version of reasoning is pretty much just insulting a person in the hopes that they’ll get so ashamed that they’ll just do what he says.

As the kind of sort of self-appointed leader (he claimed to be leader but was also sort of made leader by circumstances he wasn’t aware of), Karkat expects everyone to follow his orders without question, but considering he’s leading a bunch of trolls, it usually doesn’t happen without huge amounts of bickering and mutual insulting. Of all the trolls though, Karkat seems to be able to herd the group the best, despite the overwhelming clash of personalities that occurs on a regular basis. Karkat could be called ambitious, but really he just likes being in a position of authority so he can order people around and have an excuse for doing so.

When shit really hits the fan, though, Karkat tends to be hesitant to act, because really despite all his boasting and bragging and constant insulting, he’s kind of a crybaby. He balks at the sight of blood, freaks out when things go wrong, and when things get really bad, like mass-amounts-of-murder-bad, he goes into a blue screen of death and then flips out later.

OH he also has issues with relationships. He claims to hate everyone equally, but then he realizes that this really doesn’t work because… and this is me trying to explain without going too in depth with the extremely complicated trollmance business… but every troll needs an ultimate rival, kind of a rival soul mate, and Karkat hates everyone so he feels he’s set his standards too high for that special someone. For a while he thinks John is that person, then gives up because John just doesn’t get it, and then he goes and starts hating on his past and future selves in the Trollian memo boards. It’s pretty messed up. He also has trouble admitting his true feelings about people like Terezi, with whom he shares a growing mutual attraction. If Karkat had a Troll Facebook, his relationship status would be set to “it’s complicated.” But only if he was being honest with himself.

Character: Adam Monroe
Fandom: Heroes
Character Notes:
History: Adam is born in England, but later moves to Japan. He's probably in his twenties or so in 1671 when his powers manifest. Hiro goes back in time 400 years to feudal Japan where he meets his childhood hero, Takezo Kensei. This man is truly Adam Monroe, but he tells Hiro he took the name Kensei because it means swordmaster. Hiro thinks he has altered/destroyed the timestream as Kensei is a coward who hires mercenaries to fight in his place. He says that if they survive, he pays them a healthy wage. Hiro is not satisfied by this at all, telling Adam that he must defeat Whitebeard and marry the swordsmith's daughter, Yaeko. Yaeko chooses this moment to approach Adam and punch him in the face for taking his father's sword without saving him, as per the arrangement. She takes the sword and says she will fight Whitebeard herself and rescue her father.

Hiro trails after Kensei, slowly befriending him and convincing him to follow the path laid out by the legend of Takezo Kensei by telling Adam he will be very rich if he listens to him. Though even after agreeing, Adam shows much more interest in Yaeko than any other aspect of the legends. This is much to Hiro's chagrin according to the scrolls he leaves for Ando, because he too has fallen for the swordsmith's daughter. In order to get Yaeko to fall for Adam and restore the time-space continuum, Hiro dresses in Kensei's armor, and pledges to Yaeko beneath the cherry blossom trees that he will save Japan.

Adam Monroe || Heroes || 2/?

[identity profile] c-o-u-r-a-g-e.livejournal.com 2011-03-17 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
During a battle of many against just Adam, he is shot through the chest with several arrows. Adam heals before Hiro's eyes and Hiro suddenly understands. Kensei has a hero's destiny just like himself. Though Adam may not agree, he thinks it's pretty good to be invulnerable, and from then on he's a bit more willing to put himself in harm's way.

Adam goes to Whitebeard's camp to defeat him only to discover that he has guns, and Hiro knows they must destroy any trace of them in order to put History back on track. He tells Kensei to do just that, but when Yaeko is shot at he teleports her to safety leaving Adam on his own. After rescuing Yaeko's father, he goes to find them and find them he does. They are kissing under the cherry blossom trees and it is here Adam truly becomes a villain instead of merely a coward. He vows to destroy everything that Hiro holds dear and goes back into Whitebeard's camp, this time as his ally.

Hiro pursues him and they fight in a tent of gunpowder. It sets off an explosion and Hiro escapes, leaving Adam to die. He goes to Yaeko and tells her though he loves her, he must return to his own time. She says she understands, though she loves him too, and she will tell the stories of Takezo Kensei until her dying day. It is in this way that Hiro becomes his own hero.

When he does return to present day, his father has just been murdered. He goes back in time to reveal his father's murderer. It is none other than Adam himself. He didn't die in that explosion 400 years ago as Hiro had thought and his invulnerability has kept him from aging or dying for the duration.

The viewer discovers that Adam was one of the founders of the Company, along with Angela Petrelli and Kaito Nakamura. And of course, Linderman who is dead by this point in the series. After each one he kills, Adam leaves behind a picture of them cut out from the original Founders' photograph, the Symbol (which is also featured on his sword and the Petrelli's law practice among other things) drawn in red across their faces.

Because he can heal like Claire, his blood is a healing serum, and he uses it to save Nathan Petrelli after Peter goes nuclear and gives his brother terrible burns. This act of heroism leads Peter to trust Adam, even after he murders Victoria Pratt (another founder) right in front of him. Adam tells Peter of a strain of the Shanti virus (a virus the Founders created while trying to discover a cure for people with abilities) that will kill 93% of the world's population (as Peter sees it when he accidentally jumps ahead in time one year). Unbeknownst to Peter, Adam actually intends to release the virus as he tried 30 years ago and thus why he got locked up in the first place (how he meets Peter). He thinks that by wiping humanity from the face of the Earth and starting over with the 7% they have left, it will allow for the greater good and be akin to the flood of Noah's Ark. Or at least that's the reason he cites, it's much more likely he merely wants revenge and is generally evil.

However when Victoria Pratt lets slip (well, through telepathy) that Strain 138 is at Primatech, Adam and Peter travel there as Peter's the only one who can open the vault. He does so with telekinesis but Hiro, Nathan and Matt all meet the pair there. Matt attempts to stop Peter with telepathy and Nathan with simple, human empathy as his brother. Hiro stops time and tries to kill Adam, but Peter stops him. While Matt delays Peter outside the vault Adam makes his way inside and retrieves the vial. However, Hiro follows him in and teleports him back to Japan. As the vial falls through the air, Peter stops it and destroys it.

Hiro traps Adam in a coffin over the grave of his own father, who Adam murdered. I will be playing him from this canon point, and his dead phone will be able to access the Community.

Also in Adam's history, not on the show but considered canon nonetheless, is the legend of the Ten Brides of Takezo Kensei. Over his >400 year span, he has indeed had 10 wives and 2 children. While trapped in the grave, he says the eleventh will come for him. There is much speculation as to whether he was married or if this is merely a statement of the future. Either way, Adam dies before this is revealed.

Current Characters: n/a

Character: Theodore "Teddy" Altman, aka Hulkling, aka Dorrek VIII
Fandom: Marvel's Young Avengers
Character Notes: ***FULL OF SPOILERY SPOILERS***
History:
* Teddy is the son of Captain Marvel, a Kree (alien), and the daughter of the Skrull (also alien) Emperor, Princess Anelle, and he was originally named Dorrek VIII (following a tradition in the Skrull ruling family of apparently naming their children the dorkiest thing possible). This happened during a war between the two alien species, which are mortal enemies going way back. Understandably, the child born of this particular union was marked for death and his mother sent him off to Earth to be hidden before promptly dying. Captain Marvel also died. Teddy doesn't know any of this at the point I'm pulling him from, so what follows is the history he DOES know.

* Teddy's father died of cancer before he was born, and he was raised by his single mother, who took very good care of him. He discovered his abilities of shape-shifting at some point pre-series in high school, and abused them to make himself fit in with the jocks at his school (that is, he bulked up without the benefit of muscle milk). At this point, he met a guy named Greg who became his best friend by merit of the fact he could shape-change into famous people and get away with nasty things because of it. Teddy stopped cooperating about the time this game involved stealing things from the ruins of the Avengers mansion, because he grew up a massive fanboy of the Avengers, and nerds of his calibre don't appreciate stealing from their heroes.

* Recently, things have taken a change which, to Teddy, is pretty bizarrely amazing. He met up with a guy from the future, Iron Lad aka Nate aka young Kang the Conqueror, who claims to be a time traveller with a plan to assemble a new team of Avengers that all have some kind of ties to the original Avengers. He doesn't know what the heck his connection is (note: the connection would be that whole Captain Marvel bit) but he's interested in finding out, and in the meantime, being a wannabe-Avenger is just fascinating enough to make him keep doing it.

* He's developed a close friendship with fellow Young Avenger, Billy Kaplan aka Wiccan. Pretty close. Really close. Okay. It's kind of gay, and they're kind of boyfriends.

[identity profile] primary-concern.livejournal.com 2011-03-18 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
Personality:

Strengths

* Teddy is altruistic and dutiful, two traits that lend themselves to Teddy's chosen path as a superhero. He believes in doing the morally right thing, and he will go all out to make sure he accomplishes this goal. His highly-focused moral compass helps him to make the choices he feels are right in even complicated situations. He is also very brave, courageously facing frightening situations in order to do what he feels is right. Fortunately, he is also resilient, managing to carry on despite various extremely traumatic events - perhaps not overcoming them completely, but not letting them cripple him.

* Teddy is affectionate and loyal with the people around him, willing to do whatever it takes to support and protect the ones he cares about. This is noticeable with his teammates, particularly with his future boyfriend, Billy, who he risks death for on many occasions and never gives up on, even when others consider him dangerous.

* Teddy is confident and not at all self-conscious, remaining true to who he is without fear. He is very set in what and who he believes in, and who he is as a person, and won't allow negativity from others to get in his way. He has shown this on many occasions, including refusing to quit being a superhero despite being told to by a childhood hero and being open about his homosexuality, standing up for himself when harassed for it.

* Teddy is intelligent - despite his position as the team tank, and his jockish appearance, he defies both stereotypes and avoids being dumbed down or needing to be lead around by the nose. He's quick-witted and snappy, and has a very good vocabulary. He may be blond and sport a football player's build, but he's actually kind of a nerd.

Weaknesses

* Teddy's determination and dutiful personality often leaks over into stubbornness and rebellion. He can be incredibly hard-headed when he decides something, even if it isn't good in the long run. For example, he was unwilling to give up his teammates and boyfriend on Earth in order to attempt to put an end to the Skrull/Kree war, which has been raging for centuries.

* His loyalty and protective nature can occasionally become bullish overprotectiveness. While he generally lets people make their own decisions, if he feels that something has gone on long enough or isn't being done in a way he approves of, he can be very forceful about imposing his way of doing things.

* Teddy's courage can quickly become impusiveness and recklessness - he can occasionally thrust himself into conflicts that are very obviously over his head and make impulsive snap decisions without thinking things through clearly. For example, in canon he has, on various occasions, directly threatened Captain America, Iron Man, Wolverine, Magneto, Quicksilver, and various others - most of whom could crush him easily. This isn't helped by the fact that his quick wits are often expressed as snarky sharp words, and he can come off as a bit of a smart-mouth when disagreeing with his elders.

Character: Haldir
Fandom: Lord of the Rings (book canon, though I have noted where the movie deviates)
Character Notes:
History: Very little is actually known of Haldir’s past, being as he is but a minor player in Tolkien’s works. It is likely that he has lived in Lothlorien his entire life, though nothing is known of his parentage or younger years. We do know that he has two brothers, Orophin and Rumil, though birth order is never confirmed. (There are several indicators that Haldir may be eldest, but this is speculation and falls more under head-canon) At some stage, he became first a border guard of Lothlorien (along with his brothers) and then Marchwarden. Given that he is the only one of the three brothers who can speak Westron (the Common tongue), and based on his dialogue in Fellowship of the Ring, some of his duties must have entailed travelling further afield to gather news that might otherwise not reach the woods and it is thus fair to assume he has spent significant time away from Lothlorien.

In 3019, during the Third Age of Middle Earth, Haldir encountered the Fellowship of the Ring – the group entrusted with the destruction of the One Ring. He, along with his brothers, intercepted the group at the borders and as the only one who understood Westron, Haldir became spokesperson and chief guide to them. He agreed, after consulting with Legolas and Aragorn, to lead the party into Lorien itself but under the condition that their Dwarf companion, Gimli, was led blindfolded. He and his brothers then arranged somewhere for the group to rest and kept guard over them, intercepting a passing band of orcs and leading them away from the Fellowship.

The following morning, Haldir led the group towards Lorien. He remained insistent that Gimli were blindfolded, still mindful of the ongoing enmity between Elves and Dwarves; this led to the entire party being blindfolded until word arrived that the group was welcome to travel freely within Lorien. Once he received this order, Haldir apologised to Gimli and welcomed him, remarking that he was the first Dwarf to enter Lorien since Durin’s time. Having led them to Caras Galadhon, where they were to meet with Galadriel and Celeborn, Haldir remained present during the Fellowship’s audience with the Lord and Lady of Lorien but returned to the northern borders through the rest of their stay.

The last known of Haldir is that he returned to lead the Fellowship to the banks of the Silverlode when it became time for them to depart. It is probably that he was present during the defence of Lothlorien against forces from Dol Guldur; if he survived the War of the Ring then he likely travelled to the Undying Lands with the rest of his kin although it is equally possible that he assisted Celeborn during his rule of East Lorien.

NB: In movie canon, Haldir is present during the battle of Helm’s Deep, having been sent by Elrond and Galadriel along with a group of skilled Elven warriors to offer their assistance. During this battle, Haldir is killed along with most if not all of the group he led.

Personality: Haldir is a loyal and dutiful servant to both Lothlorien and its ruling Lord and Lady, and he holds said duty as sacred above all else. He stands by and upholds the laws of the land without question, even if he doesn’t always agree with them – he knows it is not his place to pass judgement on what Galadriel and Celeborn deem necessary. He also knows and accepts that the protection of Lorien comes before self-preservation or preservation of any one individual within the woods (Galadriel and Celeborn excepted, naturally).

Haldir is not immune to the racial prejudice of his kind, particularly when it comes to the Dwarves, though this seems in the books at least to be more a by-product of his duty to protect Lorien as he is shown to be most welcoming towards Gimli once he receives word that he and the rest of the Fellowship have no need to be blindfolded. We do know, or at least can deduce, that Haldir has had more to do with other races than others of his kind, at least enough to warrant him learning Westron and he at the very least is not as reserved or as insular as others of his kind, his brothers included. This would suggest either that Haldir has always been more adventurous than the others or that he has become such because it was what was required of him to better serve Lorien.

Though Tolkien never attaches the Marchwarden title to Haldir, it is still evident that he has leadership qualities as he is more than willing to take control of any given situation. His scouting missions away from Lorien have left him with a moderate knowledge of cultures other than his own; certainly he is aware of who Aragorn is even if he had never met him until the Fellowship arrive in Lothlorien. That said, Haldir is not one to make decisions rashly or without consulting with others if he is uncertain of the best course of action.

Other: Haldir is generally considered to be a Silvan Elf and is a member of the Galadhrim. He is a skilled archer and is also trained to fight with a long Elven knife where melee combat is necessary.

Also, I realise there isn't much info in here - I've pulled in as much as I could, but he's a minor character without much background info so I'm not sure there's really much more I could have put.

Character: Envy
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist (manga version)

Character Notes:

History: (Note: This is a revised version of my original application, with only a few minor changes to the personality section.)

Envy is one of seven Homunculi (artificial humans) created by the main villain of the series known as “the Father”. It's not clear when Envy was created, but like his brethren, he's lived for quite a few centuries. He was the instigator of the Ishvalan War of Extermination, and having taken the form of an Amertrian solider, he shot an Ishvalan child, thus sparking the conflict which would result in the deaths of hundreds, if not thousands of people (including Scar's brother and Winry's parents).

He first encountered Edand Al at the 5th Laboratory (accompanied by Lust), after the Elric Brothers learn about the process by which Philosopher's Stones can be created and stumbled upon the alchemical circle used to produce them. It is at this point that the Elric Brothers learn of the existence of Homunculi, though they are unaware of Envy's shape-shifting abilities, since he kept his powers in check during the confrontation.

Envy acts as a spy and assassin for the Father, often using his unique shape-shifting abilities to disguise himself as military officials in order to attain sensitive information. As such, when he learned that Maes Hughes had figured out the Father's plans and intended to warn Roy Mustang, he disguised himself as Maria Ross in order to ascertain how much Hughes knew. He then impersonated Huges' wife and promptly executed Hughes. This set into motion a chain of events which led to the real Maria Ross being falsely blamed for Hughes' murder and her subsequent “execution” by Roy Mustang. In truth, Mustang helped to fake her death and then sent her out of the country.

Once the Elric Brothers learn that King Bradley is actually a Homunculus, Envy and Gluttony are sent out to capture them and take them into custody. During the course of the battle, Edward, Ling, and Envy are swallowed by Gluttony and end up inside a pocket dimension without any means of escape. It is here that Envy reveals his true form—that of a gigantic green behemoth—and attacks. It is only when Edward says that he can free them from Gluttony's stomach that Envy grudgingly agrees not to harm him. In exchange, he promises to tell Edward what the meaning of a “sacrifice” is... but of course as soon as Envy is freed, he admits that he lied. Regardless, Edward gets some of his questions answered by the Father... and Ling ends up becoming the vessel for the soul of the Homunculus named Greed. After Edward has been informed of his rather precarious situation as a “potential sacrifice,” Envy tells him that should he attempt to interfere with the Father's plans, they will kill his friend, Winry Rockbell.

As the Father's new watchdog, Envy is the one sent to retrieve Dr. Marcoh as he attempts to flee north, but he is subdued by the combined efforts of Scar, May Chang, and Dr. Marcoh. He is reduced to a weakened state and is entrusted to May Chang so that she might learn the secret of immortality, thus saving her clan. He spends the six months that comprise the timeskip stuck inside a mason jar and being cared for by May Chang. But he tricks May Chang into returning him to Central, which she manages to do during the Promised Day—the day upon which the Father will implement his grand scheme. It is on that day that Envy is able to regain his “default” human form once more. He then escapes from May Chang's clutches and seeks to prevent Edward and his allies from putting a stop to the Father's plans.

Envy meets his end during his confrontation with Roy Mustang, but he doesn't die at the colonel's hands. Edward—having realized that, in truth, Envy was jealous of humans and their ability to overcome impossible odds—takes pity on the poor broken creature. Humiliated beyond belief that a lowly human would take pity on a Homunculus, Envy commits suicide by tearing out the Philosopher's Stone which serves as his core, thus permanently ending his own existence.

Personality: He is known as Envy the Vainglorious. As his name implies, Envy is the personification of that Deadly Sin. He represents the Father's envy and jealousy of humans, and as such goes to great lengths to advertise just how great his own attributes are, while demeaning others. He takes the form of an androgynous youth and is extremely sensitive about his physical appearance. He reacts to the word “ugly” in much the same way Edward reacts to being called “short”. In fact, he hates to be insulted, by anyone, about anything, and his temper is even shorter than Edward's.

Envy feels a very strong attachment to his Father and fellow Homunculi “siblings.” He was the fourth Homunculus to be born, thus making him the middle child, and he does appear to suffer from “middle child syndrome”. He detests being ordered around by his eldest brother, Pride, and seems particularly antagonistic toward Greed, who was born right before him. This could be due in part because the Deadly Sins they embody are so similar to one another, but it's likely that he resents Greed for “abandoning” his Homunculi family in favor of humans and chimera. Envy is shown to be particularly close to Lust and Gluttony, as she takes on the role of older sister quite readily for those two.

Out of all the Homunculi, Envy seems the most preoccupied with proving himself to Father. This could be because Envy is naturally driven to prove himself better than everyone else, including his other siblings, or because he genuinely feels a greater affection toward his creator moreso than the other Homunculi. When Hohenheim finally confronts the Father face to face, he comments on the fact that the Father—who had once scoffed at humans and their need to create families and communities—should choose to create offspring of his own. Envy is the result of the Father's jealousy and envy toward humans and their ability to create bonds with one another.

Like the Father and Pride, Envy views humans as far beneath his notice; bugs or worms that crawl and squirm about for his own amusement. He delights in human suffering, and is content to watch them slaughter each other in senseless wars, laughing all the while. In fact, he's a bit of a sadist himself and enjoys inflicting pain on others, both physical and psychological. During the fight with Ed and Ling in episode 24, Envy casually admits that he often takes the form of a victim's loved one, and then proceeds to murder his victim just to see the look of shock and disbelief on their face when their “loved one” stabs them in the heart—literally. In episode 53, he takes the form of both Hughes and his wife in order to psychologically unbalance Mustang, who has learned of Envy's involvement in Hughes' death.

Unfortunately, that plan backfired, and only served to further fuel Mustang's rage against Envy. Mustang cruelly and brutally burned Envy's body over and over again until the Homunculus was once more reduced to his weakened parasitic form. For the first time in his entire existence, Envy knows what it means to fear for his life. Slowly being crushed to death beneath Mustang's boot heel, Envy begs for his life, but Ed intervenes on Envy's behalf and pleads for Mustang to show him mercy only because he doesn't want to see Mustang give in to hatred.

Character: Theophrastus Bombastus Van Hohenheim
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)

Character Notes:

History: 400 years prior to the opening of the series, Hohenheim was a young slave called Number Twenty-Three who lived in the country of Xerxes. At the time, alchemy was in its infancy: mere theories bandied about by philosophers and scientists alike. Because the country existed in a time of relative peace, its people could devote their time to intellectual pursuits. Indeed, Xerxes was most likely experiencing its Golden Age, since it was an isolated desert civilization with no neighboring countries to make war with.

Hohenheim's master was a powerful alchemist who worked directly beneath the King of Xerxes. During one of his many experiments, he used some of Hohenheim's blood, and through sheer accident, managed to summon a being from beyond the Gate. This being, which resembled a faceless sphere of darkness, was called Homunculus, the Dwarf Inside the Flask. It possessed knowledge far surpassing that of mankind. Unable to leave the confines of its flask, lest it should perish, the Dwarf decided to make conversation with the slave whose blood had been used to summon it into our world. Grateful for being given life, the Dwarf decided to grant Number Twenty-Three a new name: Theophrastus Bombastus Van Hohenheim.

Until that time, Hohenheim never questioned his lot in life as a slave; that was simply the natural order of the world, and what right did he have to question that order? But the Dwarf, who longed for freedom outside his flask, convinced Hohenheim that they need not live as prisoners. With knowledge, both the slave and the Dwarf could experience all that life in the outside world had to offer...

So Hohenheim began to learn to read and write from the Dwarf, and to perform arithmetic and basic alchemy. The young slave freely shared his knowledge among his fellow slaves, much to the chagrin of his master. But Hohenheim's master saw promise in the young slave, and offered him a position as his apprentice. He was a brilliant student and learned very quickly from both his master and the Dwarf.

Hohenheim continued to grow close to the Dwarf, each of them confiding in the other, sharing their hopes and dreams for the future. In a sense, because they shared the same blood, the Dwarf considered himself Hohenheim's offspring.

Eventually, the Dwarf was brought before the King of Xerxes, who sought the secret to immortality. The Dwarf agreed to teach King Xerxes the ritual by which he could gain immortality, but unknown to the king and his subjects, the Dwarf was planning his own escape...

As the years passed and Hohenheim grew to adulthood, the King of Xerxes grew weaker and more desperate to prolong his lifespan. He forced his subjects to work night and day digging “canals” which served as a huge alchemical array that would encompass his entire kingdom. He then ordered his soldiers to wipe out several outlying villages in order to carve the Crests of Blood necessary for the ritual.

Finally, the array complete, it was time for the ritual to commence. But things didn't go as planned. With Hohenheim and the Dwarf standing at the center of the array, only they would be the recipients of the effects granted by the ritual. Every living creature not within the center of the array had their souls ripped from their bodies and transformed into the components necessary to create the Philosopher's Stone. Hohenheim watched in horror as over a million lives were snuffed out while his own body and that of the Dwarf's were broken down and reconstructed anew. The Dwarf, who now inhabited a human form cloned from Hohenheim's blood, explained that each of them possessed immortal bodies granted by the immeasurable sacrifice of an entire civilization. Hohenheim had become a human Philosopher's Stone, born of half the population of Xerxes, the other half belonging to the Dwarf.

With no home or family, Hohenheim set out toward the East and the country of Xing, while the Dwarf headed West through the desert toward Amestris. Hohenheim would eventually develop the alkahestry—better known as the “purification arts”— used in the East, while the Dwarf would teach alchemy to the people of Amestris. He would eventually create seven “children,” each of them embodying a different sin, and call himself their Father. Having attained freedom from his flask, the Father now set his ambitions even higher and desired to become a “perfect being”... but his plans would take 400 years to reach fruition.

As the centuries passed, Hohenheim left Xing and made his way to Amestis. Along the way, he began conversing with the souls of the citizens of Xerxes within him, in the hopes of making peace with them. It was impossible for him to think of those people as mere energy forms to extend his lifespan. He felt he needed to make amends to his fellow countrymen... And that choice proved to be beneficial, once he learned of the Father's plans. Having made peace with them, he could rely on their aid in order to exact vengeance on the Father; not for himself, but for the people who were sacrificed for the Dwarf's selfish ambitions, and to save Amestris.

While living in Amestris, Hoheneim came to settle in the town of Risembool, and befriended a local automail mechanic by the name of Pinako Rockbell. He was later introduced to Trisha Elric, and Hohenheim fell madly in love with her. Though they never married, the two of them lived together happily, and eventually, Trisha gave birth to two sons: Edward and Alphonse. Both children inherited not only their father's golden hair and eyes (an ethic trait shared among the all the people of Xerxes), but they also inherited his talent at alchemy, too.

When both children were very young, Hohenheim decided to to leave his family in order to find a way to become mortal again. Now that he had found the love of his life, he wanted to be able to grow old and die with her. He made a promise that he would one day return to her and his children, once his work was completed. And Trisha, in turn, promised to wait for him...

But in a cruel twist of fate, she fell ill, and eventually died before Hohenheim could return. She told Pinako to pass a message along to her husband, when he returned, saying, “Tell him... That I couldn't keep my promise to him. I'll be passing on before him. And please tell him... that I'm sorry.”

Hohenheim did eventually return to Risembool, but he was five years too late... His own sons burned the family home to the ground, and Edward left his hometown in order to become a State Alchemist. The two share a painful reunion in front of Trisha's grave, with Hohenheim scolding his son for destroying their home, and they eventually part ways without either one truly opening up to the other.

Later that year, Hohenheim reunites with his other son, Alphonse, in the city of Lior, which is still currently undergoing construction due to the riots that took place earlier that year. He divulges the truth of his origins and his plans to put a stop to the Father and his insidious plot to create a nationwide transmutation circle, which would result in the deaths of everyone in Amestris...
