Character: Chrno
Series: Chrno Crusade (manga)
Character Age: Looks around 12, real age unknown
Canon: In Chrno Crusade, demons generally spend their time gallivanting around their realm and sometimes invade the human world for kicks. Chrno isn't that kind of demon; instead he sinned against his kind, suffered emo circumstances and got sealed in a tomb for 50 years. Skip forward to 1924, and Chrno is now the contracted partner of one Rosette Christopher of the Magdalan Order. Together they go about searching for Rosette's lost brother, and "exorcising" (read: kicking the asses of) demons who pop up in the human world.

While Rosette normally shouts and swears and blows stuff up with wild abandon, Chrno instead watches this with mild exasperation and dismay, and sometimes adds some snark. He's quite often the voice of reason and will patiently aid Rosette with whatever she's doing. Until she gets hurt, in which case he will go batshit insane. Chrno is otherwise a gentle person who hates causing people harm. This is compounded by his contract with Rosette, wherein he drains her lifespan in order to use his powers. To this end Chrno tries to use his powers as little as possible and is determined to help her find her brother. Ultimately, Chrno is kind, loyal, and serious beyond his 12-year-old appearance.

Sample Post:

This is 'Camp Fuck You Die', right? Catching the train here was easy enough, but no one in the Order could remember the route Rosette took. It was difficult finding the right path to follow since they were all marked 'Certain Doom -->', though picking the straightest one lined with the rudest flowers turned out right. The screaming about punk kids on their lawn must be why they're called 'Forget-Me-Nots'.

Oh, sorry - my name's Chrno, and I was directed here by the Magdalan Order. There's been a number of reports and complaints about demonic activity at this camp, but I'm not sure about the seriousness of these claims… not just because some were written with sparkling ink. If some of these really came from people here I can at least disprove some of them and clear up the confusion. It might be better if I go through some of them as examples of what's demonic or not.

* The computers are possessed and I can't take it anymore!
I tried the usual exorcism methods, some less than usual ones and even kicking it, but nothing worked. I'm pretty sure that whatever's affecting this machine isn't a demon at all. Trying a few exorcisms in a row did result in the screen turning blue with the message "You're doing it wrong". I tried again, but I had to stop when it threatened me with Internet lawyers and refused to work after that.

* A demon ate my baby!
I'm sorry, but since I actually saw what happened, there are two things you should know. That wasn't a demon; it was a zombie dingo. And it wasn't a baby it was eating, it was some kind of white teddy bear with red antenna. Unless, ah, that actually was someone's baby… if it's true, I'm sorry for your loss. He looked like an energetic young bear.

* I think my boyfriend might be evil! He's so mean, and he's a DEMON in the sack and i-iyaaaaan~.
… I didn't check into that one. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me, though if he really only reacts that way when tied up, maybe you should avoid being in or near the sack with him.

Just take a closer look at things and you'll find they're not demonic at all. It's not much better, since I can't think of any other reason for a place where gorillas bowl with zombie parts. But if there are any genuine demon attacks at all, then you can tell me and I'll do my best to stop them.

On that note … if anyone's seen my partner Rosette Christopher around, could they please tell me right away? We're in something of a hurry, and it's hard finding her without any damaged buildings or smashed cars to point me in the right direction.
