Canon: Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Character: Belphegor
Timeline: Chapter 349.
Personality:
The most simple way to explain Belphegor’s personality as a whole would probably be between genius, and just plain old insane. Although, this opinion changes from person to person, really. He’s not that insane, even with the whole “Oh, look, the blood of the royal clan, it’s spilling out~~~!” stuff he gets into when he bleeds. Or the excitement from killing people. ..or the being part of an assassination squad that definitely doesn’t have any sort of sense of normality at all. Voiing commanders, bosses who beat the shit out of everyone in the group, rainbow sparkly peacock nurses, some random lightning dude who is obsessed with the boss, and a money-grubbing baby. Yeah, definitely the most sane, normal group. Totally. The genius side of him is definitely true, though- being raised in that sort of environment from age eight to sixteen definitely taught him a few tricks, and there were many he already knew before that.

Going down deeper into it, he’s more of a genius than anything else. Belphegor’s constantly thinking on his feet, always has a plan to follow up an action, instead of just moving one step at a time towards his goal. In battle is where he excels, although his true genius doesn’t surface until he himself has bled. The sight of his own, royal blood causes Belphegor to think back to that time when he supposedly killed his older brother, when they were both just little kids, and makes him get excited. Although, that probably isn’t much of a good thing at all, considering how he acts after seeing it. He loves what he does, though-- and enjoys the thrill of being an assassin; probably a good thing, considering Belphegor spends quite a lot of time within the Varia, enough that he’s even kept up working there for a good eight years prior to his canon point, and is still in the same assassination squad ten years later.

He’s arrogant and egotistical, which shows in the way he carries himself, the way he acts throughout the battle with Gokudera, calling it a “game” instead of the fight for the storm ring it was. The chances of him taking things seriously- or at least, appearing to- is quite low, although, when it comes down to it, Belphegor refuses to lose anything, because he’s a “prince”, and prince’s never lose, even if it means getting their bodies blown up and bones broken in the meantime. He won’t let himself lose, not even when Belphegor’s half out of it, laying in a pile of rubble with a potentially broken leg. Although, if he felt his life was in danger, Belphegor probably wouldn’t stick around the battlefield long enough to find out whether or not he’d survive it. However, when facing his older brother ten years later, he didn’t seem to care much over Fran faking their death, and letting boss fight him instead. Belphegor is quite fond of fighting, though-- even challenged Mammon to a fight because things were getting too boring around, and probably would have gone through with it, if Xanxus hadn’t been close by at the time. Which would have ended horridly, considering the bosses’ more violent personality, that would probably end in both of them being shot up with flaming bullets for attempting to fight while he was doing.. whatever Xanxus does.

Being classified as the demon of sloth out of the rest of the Varia definitely wasn’t a mistake; he’s pretty lazy himself; out of the mafia, he was classified as the one with the second most dirtiest room (probably because Belphegor’s too lazy to clean it up himself), and first to have no money in his wallet and only credit cards. Although, when given the chance to follow Mammon to Japan for the Arcobaleno trials, Belphegor went along with it- probably for his own amusement. He seemed to play the part of a girl well enough, when Mammon used an illusion to make him into “Himeko”, a transfer student into Namimori, and he didn’t seem to mind shopping with Kyoko or playing with the girls’ at all, or anything he did for that. Although, he could also just be a very, very good actor, considering he was originally going out with them to distract the girls while Mammon decided to play mind tricks on the Vongola family.

Background:
Belphegor was the second-born of a pair of twin princes, of whom were born to a small, unknown kingdom. He and his brother had a horrid relationship from birth, and just kept on getting worse as they got older until it escalated to Belphegor drugging his brother, Rasiel, with some laxatives in his tea, then slashing at his chest until he had thought Rasiel had died, then eventually left his kingdom, and went to join the mafia assassination squad called the Varia. This is all that’s really known from his birth to age eight- considering most of it comes directly from Belphegor, and was probably just edited to his own liking.

When his older twin brother, who was formerly proclaimed dead by Belphegor himself showed up ten years later, Belphegor went and told his own little version of his history, telling Fran that, when he was little he and Rasiel were always fighting, always trying to best one another, and extremely disliked one another, the hatred growing as they got older. The twins started out fighting by bickering, rough housing, then eventually it got to the point where they would throw rocks at each other-- small rocks, and gradually started going for bigger and bigger rocks, when the smaller ones no longer had the effect they wanted. Eventually, the rocks turned into knives, the bickering and rough housing turned into horrid fights and tricks. Then, when he was eight years old, Belphegor woke up one morning to Rasiel shoving a ball of mud and worms down his throat, which he countered later on in the day by sticking laxatives in his brother’s tea. When Rasiel was down, Belphegor slashed at his chest repeatedly, until his brother was injured to the point that Bel had assumed he was dead, before he went to burry him into the ground. This was probably interrupted at some point though, considering- he was still alive somehow, despite all of the scars on his chest that made it look like- as an eight year old, there probably wasn’t much of a chance of survival with that. Belphegor also stated that he killed off his entire family, too, but whether or not this is true is uncertain. Soon after this, he went to join a mafia assassination group called the Varia, a top, elite group, with only the best of the best. Considering he was eight years old according to the timeline of the cradle incident, he must have been a very, very smart and clever little kid to get into it at that time.

There was a bit of mention of Belphegor during the “cradle incident”, which was basically Xanxus, the boss of the Varia, throwing a hissy fit over him being adopted, which ended in him being captured in a block of ice created from the Ninth Vongola‘s abilities--but he was there, which meant he definitely didn’t waste time doing other stuff at that age and instead joined up into the Varia soon after. Although, oddly enough, he looked exactly like he does at sixteen years of age, when he should have been eight. This could have just been an age-failure done by the ones who animated it. After, Xanxus was frozen in a block of ice for a good eight years, leaving him, and the rest of the Varia to wait for the ice to melt, and for Xanxus’ return.

The first time he actually shows up in canon is when Belphegor is sixteen years of age- during another hissy fit from that boss of his when he found out some fourteen year old boy was taking the place of the Vongola boss, a spot he wanted but- oh fuck he was adopted, which ruined that plan. At first, he quietly watched the battles between the Vongola guardians and his own group- watching their tactics, learning how they fought, how they did things. It wasn’t that interesting, really- although when it was his own turn, he quickly grew interested in the person he had to fight- Gokudera Hayato. Gradually, he figured out Belphegor’s tricks, even learned how to counter them, how to turn his own abilities against Belphegor himself- although when the clock was up, and the prince was mostly down for the count, he still refused to let go of the chain the ring was on, refused to accept defeat- so in the end, Gokudera left, Belphegor got pretty banged up from the exploding building, but the Varia still picked him up- because hey, he was the winner, even if he came out needing a cast on his arm, one on his leg, and various bandages nearly everywhere.

After this, when it was time for Xanxus and -- that fourteen year old who had the Vongola blood that the boss really, really didn’t like, all of the others had gotten poisoned- the Varia members, and the Vongola guardians, too. Sometime during his fight with Tsuna, Xanxus decided to start laughing over how he was concerned over his friends, and decided to shoot down the pillar holding the ring which would press into the wrist watch he was given, which, in turn, would release the antidote into his system. Belphegor quickly went to do this, and once he had the antidote, was faced with Hibari. Definitely not the guy to get into a fight with when injured, but Hibari’s leg was also pretty messed up, so they were-- on mostly equal terms. Still, when Hibari started to get tougher, Belphegor decided it was time to go save Mammon, and took off to save him from the poison going through his system, too. He and Mammon then used Chrome and Mammon’s illusions to try and get the rings, but the Vongola guardians were strong enough to break through those illusions, and got Chrome back. Still, they had gotten the rings, and taken off before they could have done anything. Another success for Varia! -not a complete success, considering when they made their way to Xanxus finally, and used the rings - which could also melt ice, apparently, ice made by a tiny fourteen year old boy using some sort of flame-- really, what is sense in this canon- to melt that ice, went to give Xanxus the rings-- and ohey, he’s adopted, doesn’t have the blood needed to wield a magical ring, and the whole plan backfires, although Xanxus had planned for this, had called fifty other Varia members to come and exterminate every other person who had been involved aside from the Varia themselves. Still, backup had come for the Vongola, which left them down again. Xanxus lost the tournament, leaving the Varia to, assumedly, retreat back home.

-and then there was another large gap where he didn’t show up for a while, then some time later when he disguised himself as a girl to get into Namimori school along with Mammon, so Tsuna, the main character, could get the Arcobaleno seal from Mammon. Belphegor tagged along with him, using Mammon’s illusions to keep up that girl form- or, I assume so- then became friends with Kyoko, so he could go out shopping with her while Mammon claimed to have kidnapped her. Really, she was just hanging with a bratty prince who was disguised as a spunky red headed girl named Himeko, going shopping with him in a few stores, and off to a bakery all while he acted all friendly. Then, when Kyoko had a feeling that her brother was off training, he followed after her, protecting her from a few stray pieces of-- a box weapon starfish of some sort, before snickering at Yamamoto when he started to realize it was Bel. A day full of accomplishments, really. At least it was enough to keep him amused for the short time away from the other loud, normally yelling, cross dressing, or staring after the boss- members of the Varia. Not to mention the boss himself. After that, another-- well, shorter gap in between things, then a brief time in canon where he showed up to grab onto Mammon to drag him back to the Varia after he was supposed to be training Chrome but probably skipped out on it as a whole, where only a few words were exchanged before he was wandering to get some sushi with the baby.

Again, there was quite a canon gap where there was nothing from Belphegor at all-- then, after remembering what had gone on in the future, Squalo and Xanxus came to the conclusion they needed Fran, an illusionist who had taken over for Mammon in the future-- something Belphegor hadn’t paid much attention to, considering all of those memories came in a dream, and nothing more than that- and Squalo, Lussuria, Mammon, Levi, and Belphegor all went on a plane trip to France to get Fran back. However, none of them really wanted to deal with him much, as he was a mouthy, annoying little brat that even Mukuro, who had taught him in the future, decided he definitely didn’t want. Calling Belphegor a cavity imp who forgot to cut his bangs. wasn’t a good life choice for Fran, either, as-- hey, it got him a few knives to the head, which would have definitely killed him off if he hadn’t gotten those knives stuck in his illusion apple-hat instead. After which is the point that Belphegor is getting dragged out of his own home world, and off into the wondrous world of Adstringendum. Yeah.

Abilities/Additional Notes:

+ Belphegor is skinny, lean.
- ..although, he’s also a little underweight, much too scrawny.
+ He’s flexible, and has a great sense of balance, could easily jump to avoid a hit and keep balance, or twist himself in odd ways to get out of the way of something-- or maybe do some yoga, just because.
+ He moves like a prince, with grace and elegance, keeping a light air around himself, with the way he walks, and the way he moves.
- /+ However, he is also not particularly strong, both due to his size, and the fact he never bothered to train himself in that sort of way. He relies on tricks and tactics, using his brain to get him out of things rather than his brawn.

+ Knives and wires are his expertise, something he has trained to use for quite some time-- probably even into his childhood, back before he even killed off Rasiel. He has shown, in the battle for the storm ring, the ability to use knives and wires to create traps for enemies, or throw those knives at just the right angle to slice at them- not with the knife, but with the razor sharp wire attached to it, instead. He uses multiple attacks with these, knows how to fix those wires into just the right place, and has amazing aim.

+/- He’s a genius, has been raised within the Varia ever since he was just a small child, and even before that, in an place that taught him just about everything he would need to know schooling-wise, even before he was eight- well, not everything, as he was in the process of learning when he went on his rampage, but enough. Anything that needed to be taught to him after that was learned in the Varia.

Sample Journal Post:

[ When the camera clicked on, a rather confused face showed up on screen, holding the PCD down near his chest while he pressed over a few of the buttons, looking over the screen curiously. Although, when he noticed it was on, there was a pause, before a wide, wide grin spread over his lips. ]

Boss, Squ, Mammon, the prince doesn’t like this gaamee. It’s stupid, if you want to play, let’s play something else.

Perhaps hide-and-seek?

[ Another pause, while he thought that over, before this prince was giving a quiet snicker. ]

Is that what this is? Alright, I’ll play along.

[ Then, the feed clicked off. ]

Sample RP:

Blood. There was blood everywhere.

It was never enough, though. Definitely not enough, and wasn’t the royal blood Belphegor prized himself on. No, just the blood of countless Mafioso, all laid down around him, smothering his clothes, even. It was a wondrous sight, the sort Belphegor loved the most, had him snickering and moving through the bodies, relishing in the squish when he stepped on some intestines that had been taken out of some man’s gut, to the brains splattered all over the floor. Ah’, yes, definitely pleasing to say in the least. It was just another mission, another job he had been assigned to take on by himself-- take out the mafia family with a few of his underlings while Squalo and Mammon went up towards the bosses’ room to get him to answer some much needed questions, but it was always something much more exciting to him than just that.

Snickering to himself, Belphegor eyed the blood on his hands, the bits of skin that were plastered under his nails, to little pieces of-- well, everything-- all over his uniform coat and pants. Yes, definitely needed to replace those. Perhaps he could whine to Squalo over how it was all his fault, and get the stupid shark to replace them without a dent to his money-- not that it’d make anything aside from a microscopic hole in his funds-- just that, it was much too troublesome to pay for something so small himself. He’d rather buy a large television instead, something that would definitely make up for him having to use his own funds.

--Ah’, but his attention was shifting when there was the sound of-- was that a little girl?-- sobbing off in the corner of the room. Survivors weren’t something he was too fond of, normally had to clean them up later, anyway, so Belphegor was quickly turning his head in the direction of that sound, eyes scanning the room from under the blond fringe that covered them, looking, watching, waiting for any sign of movement- and when he saw it- a small, pink dress sticking out from the corner of the room, he was making his way towards it, giggling while running through the pile of bodies, and quickly pulling out a knife.

“Ushishishishi! Little girl, come out, come out wherever you aree~! -maah, or perhaps you should hide a bit better. The prince loves hide and seek, after all. Here, I’ll even give you to the count of ten. If you hide well enough, perhaps you’ll survive to see another day~!” With another, quiet giggle, a hand was coming up, hovering over his eyes, but not covering them entirely-- the blood would get in his hair, and he didn’t feel like cleaning it that thoroughly later on. “One, two, three..”
