distantallure Character Name: Emperor Kuzco
Fandom: The Emperor's New Groove
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Sexuality (if applicable): Self... sexual...? Uh, I'll go with straight, but his ego gets the brunt of his attention.
Original or Anomaly?: Original
Appearance:
As a humanAs a llama (Just for reference, as I seriously doubt it'll be needed)
Personality:
To most, Kuzco would come across as an arrogant, obnoxious, self-absorbed llama man. And they would be... quite correct. Kuzco is, by all definitions of the word, a first-class narcissist. He is used to living a pampered lifestyle, and be damned if it doesn't stay that way! Throw off his 'groove', and you risk being chucked off a roof for your troubles.
He is vain and flippant as well, taking little if nothing seriously. In all honesty, he would be more concerned with his newest pair of shoes than he would be about the needs of his country. When it comes to the problems of others, the Emperor practises the fine art of selective apathy. Basically, "Yeah, so what?" and "Whatever,".
That, however, doesn't mean that he has no sense of humour. No, his comical behavior doesn't count- though others would veiw it as such because of his sheer unrealistic expectations. In addition to the fine art of selective apathy, Kuzco also practises the fine art of sarcasm, with a side of cynicism.
And, of course, where is the fun without a traitorous, backstabbing side, hm? He would have no qualms over using someone to get what he needs, because hey, he's the Emperor! He should always get his way!
Oh, and he can dance pretty damn well. Don't interupt the man while he's dancing.
History:
Born and raised an Emperor, Kuzco had it easy from day one. He never had to do anything himself, be it cooking, cleaning, or even combing his hair. He was spoiled throughout his entire childhood, to the point of expecting it of everyone, and not just his immediate family. As a matter of fact, once he finally became Emperor himself, he did nothing constructive with his new power and influence. He was content enough just to pamper himself and sit (or dance) around his palace.
Because of this, it wasn't long before he got the reputation that went with it. His people weren't exactly happy with his self-centered behavior, and his own subjects planned on replacing him. One in particular, to be exact. This woman was named Yzma, and was his advisor. Of course, she was kinda creepy. No. No, she was really creepy, and Kuzco fired her from her position for that very reason. What he didn't know, was that she wasn't about to just accept it and move on.
While he furthered his plans to build Kuzcotopia- his birthday gift to himself, and visited a poor man named Poncha to deliver the news of his home's destruction, Yzma and her not-so-bright assistant, Kronk, who still worked for the Emperor, delved on many schemes to be rid of him for good. Yzma thought that she would make a far better Empress than Kuzco made an Emperor.
One such scheme was the scheme to turn him into a roach, put him in a box, then put him in a smaller box, before mailing him to Yzma and having her crush him with a hammer. Needless to say, they finally settled on something a bit... simpler. Poisoning him, to be exact. Yzma had Kronk prepare Kuzco's dinner, unknowingly mixing up the poison with a potion that would turn him into a llama instead. This, of course, would have complicated things. Perhaps quite a bit. Alright, definitely quite a bit. It was one thing to have a body to get rid of (oh, the poor Emperor never came back from his walk!), and another thing entirely if there was a talking llama running around the palace. They would have had to dispose of him (in llama form) some other way. Luckily, that's all (well-placed) speculation!
They never actually had a chance to see it come into effect, as right before tasting this wonderfully prepared meal, the Emperor found himself waking up aboard a strange cruise.
Strengths:
His greatest strength would be his ability to get what he wants, though that can be attributed to his status at home and would have no bearing amongst strangers.
Another is that he is outgoing and a very "people person", if you can ignore the fact that he usually just irritates said people. He isn't afraid to let others know what he really wants or thinks.
Weaknesses:
In contrast to his few strengths, he has many weaknesses, most related to his dismissive personality. He is so self-absorbed, that he wouldn't help others at all, even if it would eventually come back to benefit him. His pushiness gets him on the bad side of people quickly, and his vanity distracts him from the important things in life.
He can't even fight well enough to defend himself, should the need arise, and puts far too much dependancy on others to do everything for him.
First Person Sample:
Uh, hello? Why isn't breakfast ready ye-- [What. Is that? Looks around. Spies the sphere. SHAKES THE SPHERE. Is this one of Yzma's new tricks? But hey, it seems to be carrying out his message! Somehow.] Nonono--not happening--this is not happening! Okay? Who redecorated the palace without asking? You know I can't get my groove on in a second rate palace!
And, well, if somebody would answer me-- [Clears throat.] THIS IS YOUR EMPEROR SPEAKING!
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT’S GOING ON? HELLO, CAN ANYONE HEAR ME?
And, orange, seriously? Why don't you just leave the wardrobe to me, 'kay? 'Kay. [...Still doesn’t get it.]
HEY! HEY, IS ANYONE LISTENING? I SAID-- [Deep breath.] THIS IS YOUR EMPEROR SPEAKING! YEAH, YOU KNOW, ME? YEAH, I'D LIKE A LITTLE HELP HERE. LIKE, NOW?
Third Person Sample:
Good help was totally hard to find these days. Come on, really, was it that big a deal to sweep his floor? Or make his bed for him? And what was the deal with everyone having a problem with singing in the halls? As if he was going to do that in the showers like they were saying. And, honestly, what made them think they could tell him what to do? Him. The Emperor. Something was wrong with this place. So wrong!
What, there were rules? Nono, it doesn’t work that way. See, Kuzco was the one that makes the rules. Kuzco. Not these people. Kuzco. Kuzco, Emperor. These people, not Emperor. It was a simple system! How could so many people not get such a simple system?
And... "No. No way. No. Nonono. No," that was not his bed. That tiny thing in the corner of the room? People could actually sleep on that? Some huge improvements were needed around this place, and he was going to make them happen.
Take these so-called restricted sections, for example. He was thinking... a pool. With in ground hot springs. And these rooms? Way too small. He figured he could knock out a wall or two and expand his-- of course, he’d be needing servants to do that kind of work first. Who to start with...
You know, that was probably the first order of business! Get some rules in place, and find some servants. Hey, should be easy. I mean, this is the Emperor you're talking about, right?
