Character: Shinji Matou
Fandom: Fate/stay night
Character Notes:
History: Once upon a time, there were three magus families: the Einzberns, the Tohsakas, and the Matous. The Matou family was headed by Zouken, who became some kind of weird worm vampire thing to live forever. Anyway. The Matous' talent for magic died down over the generations, and by the time Matou Shinji was born, he had no Magic Circuit whatsoever. Still, he studied magic as much as he could, being the family's oldest son and all.

Oh, and the Tohsakas had an agreement with the Matous, and they gave the Matous their spare child Sakura ten years ago. She was actually capable of magic, and thus Zouken trained her.

Shinji didn't know about this. For about seven years, he treated her kindly out of something like pity. She was only a second child, after all. Then three years ago, he found out about her being the heir, and got pissed off as hell at her.

...And then he got ordered to start raping her to deal with her body's problems, and he took way too much pleasure in that. And started being physically abusive to her.

Right, actual game canon time. The Holy Grail War starts, Sakura doesn't want to participate, Shinji gets her to give up control of Rider. Who it's also implied he rapes. Great.

In Fate route, he assaults Ayako, tries to kill everybody in the school with a boundary field, fails, runs away, and is killed by Ilya shortly after Rider dies. In Unlimited Blade Works route, he loses Rider early, gets Gilgamesh as a replacement Servant, almost rapes Tohsaka Rin, gets one arm chopped off, gets turned into a vessel for the Grail (having a lake-sized amount of flesh grow out of your body), and is rescued. In Heaven's Feel he holds Sakura hostage during the boundary field thing, torments her a lot, and is killed by her when he threatens to tell Shirou about his raping of her.
Personality: Shinji is arrogant. Arrogant, arrogant, arrogant. He thinks of himself as the biggest and baddest until there's way too much evidence to the contrary. He doesn't mind blackmailing other students, using his friends' flaws to get what he wants. He treats his adopted sister like trash (and goes so far as to call her a piece of shit in front of someone else).

He's also extremely cowardly. He will do anything to save his own skin, no matter who he has to throw under the bus. Family ties, other people's lives - doesn't matter. When he gets scared, he gets going.

Besides that, he's a womanizer. Surprisingly enough, girls at his school adore him. If arrogance looks like confidence, I guess it's understandable... Character material says he isn't too bad to non-Sakura girls, although Rin seems to be another exception.
Other: I plan not to talk about the whole raping thing except in locked entries, and even then only very rarely. (It seems like it would hurt his chances for friends.)
