Your character's name (last, first): Law, Justin
Series your character's from: SORU ITA--er Soul Eater
Background info on your character:

Let me introduce you to the magical world of Soul Eater, about a school for training meisters/technicians and their weapons (humans that can take the form of a weapon!! yeah I know)! Every Meister/Weapon combo has one goal-- to find and "eat" the souls of ninety-nine evil humans and one of a witch, and once they do so, the weapons will become SUPER FUCKING AWESOME and worthy of being used by Death himself, Shinigami-sama, thus becoming "Death Scythes", called that even if they aren't an actual scythe. Needless to say, since there are so few Death Scythes around, it's not the easiest task in the world. Imagine how hard it would be to become a Death Scythe without someone to wield you!

Well, at least one person managed it, and not only that, became the youngest Death Scythe ever at the age of thirteen. Justin Law is the definition of a prodigy--especially for a school like Shibusen (Death Weapon Meister Academy), located in... Nevada, USA (all relevant locations in Japan were probably booked, idk). While I could go into the many trials and tribulations of the series, Justin is, luckily, at first a pretty low-key character, so this app will be shorter than most of mine (watch it get huge anyway). Anyway, to start off, there's this dude named Asura. He was a part of Shinigami's group once upon a time, but he did the one forbidden thing. He started eating the souls of innocent people because Asura was always afraid of people being out to get him and stuff, so he always wanted to make himself stronger so he wouldn't have to deal with it. (haha) ANYWAY he even ate his own weapon, resulting in him becoming the first Demon God, the Kishin, and so on-- his madness started to spread throughout the world. That is, until Shinigami ripped off his skin, made a bag out of it, and locked him away in it forever.

... Shinigami's kinda horrifying. He also rooted his soul over the location of the Kishin and started Shibusen for the purpose that another Kishin may never be created. Now, the witches come into play here--they kinda... resurrect him, much to the chagrin of the main heroes. Witches just kinda want to watch the world burn, to quote a summer blockbuster \o_O/ and thus, Kishin was resurrected. It is for this reason that Shinigami-sama calls together his crack team of Death Scythes to return to Shibusen, one of them being Justin! Which is basically to give them a rundown on how screwed everyone is now that Kishin is roaming free and how they need to get their shit together-- we find out that Justin hardly ever takes out his headphones, and relies on lip reading to hear people talk. (Shinigami-sama wears a mask, ergo, no lips to read, therefore making Justin go WHY WON'T YOU SPEAK TO ME ;A;??) And we all get confused as to whether Justin worships Shinigami-sama or just regular God, but that gets cleared up later, don't worry.

A while after being dismissed by Shinigami-sama, he's sent to the village of Loew where Arachne, the witch who first created weapon-humans, has come to be once more after hiding her soul in Loew's Oldest Golem (golem = stone puppets conducted by "Enchanters" via fusion of magic and earth)! Here he meets Giriko, a very crude but powerful weapon who takes the form of a chainsaw. They fight-- leading to the start of a rivalry between them. However, Giriko peaces out with Arachne, meaning Justin must now kill the batshit crazy Oldest Golem which he does pretty quickly, using his most powerful attack: Law Abiding Silver Gun. And... asks everyone to pray for it after he kills it. Praying is a big thing with him! Then he takes Maka back to Shibusen in the coffin-on-wheels attached to his dune buggy.

During that driving trip is when I'm taking him, but for good measure: Justin pops up in the series from time to time, one of those times is to retrieve "Brew", the world's greatest demon tool, before Arachne gets her hands on it, fights with Giriko some more, Giriko gets away again and Justin :(((('s about not being able to kill him. Later on, we find out that Justin is... a triple traitor. It turns out that the god he'd been worshipping was none other than the Kishin and he murdered Buttataki Joe (B.J.) because the Kishin could not rest due to B.J.'s special powers. And... because of this, Maka would be his next target. Stein and Marie kick his ass, and he retreated through a paper artifact. Like I said, taking him before all this, but it's good to know, because Justin is obviously not the holy person he would have you think.

Personality-wise; Justin can mask his motives so perfectly even Death can't sense them. Everyone--everyone--believed in Justin's intentions and thought he was an upstanding guy! So the outer personality is key, here. Though he will often talk VERY LOUDLY due to his headphones being in at all times, Justin is a very calm and rational individual. He is able to predict the moves of Giriko enough to catch his leg in his Carcan Claw move-- then headbutt him ):. He's outwardly, also very kind! Believes in God's work, talks about God a lot, and comes off as very religious! Where one might say "dude, you rock" Justin will say "God smiles upon you". So on. Justin's got a bit of pride to him though-- he likes talking down to Giriko on the battlefield, but then again, he does not think highly of "heretics" and so on. This confidence comes out again when he goes to take down Stein and Marie-- which comes right back to bite him in the ass.

Going a bit deeper into his personality, Justin is very goddamn sneaky. Think of how well he's honed his abilities and still managed to stay looking innocent. He's incredibly difficult to read, and I think to the point where even mind readers would have trouble with him. Everyone on the island (... aside from SE people apped after his big reveal) will most likely see the innocent child-of-God persona. He will also do as much as he can to keep people thinking that is the only persona there is.

While no one in the series really knows his true motives, Justin prefers to keep it that way. He's obviously very comfortable acting in his lighter nature, to the point that it's probably very nearly madness-driven. It's mentioned early in the series that Justin would have a lower chance of being affected by Kishin's madness because he's so pious and holy--well, not so much. Though he does ask "God" to forgive him for the sin he's about to commit (killing Maka), so it's a wonder just where his mind is half the time-- time will tell.

Sample post:

HELLO? YES, YOU THERE. I'M GLAD I'VE GOTTEN YOUR ATTENTION. HAVE YOU SEEN A YOUNG LADY AROUND HERE? GREEN EYES, PIGTAILS-- SHE WAS IN THE COFFIN OVER THERE A FEW MOMENTS AGO, BUT UNDER THESE ODD CIRCUMSTANCES, SHE MUST HAVE ROLLED OUT. I WOULD HATE TO HAVE LOST HER. YOU SEE, SHE WAS STILL QUITE STIFF, AND--

... Ah, they're gone. I didn't get a chance to explain Arachne's threads... But it's alright. I, a servant of the Lord, can definitely forgive a passerby for being confused by the circumstances. But that does not change the fact that I'm still just as lost as I was a few moments ago-- and Maka must be, as well. Though it's always a possibility she left before I was transported to this strange place. I have no other choice but to believe in that until I get information otherwise. But first, a prayer.

Holy Father, watching over me always, help me through these trying times to put me on the path of righteousness once more. Amen.

Now then-- Attention residents of this island! As beautiful as this island is, I must request your assistance! If not in finding the young woman who fell out of this coffin, then in finding a way to contact Death City about my being stranded here. I have naught to offer but my thanks and blessings, but--

They're walking away again. They can't hear me?--I HAVE NAUGHT TO OFFER BUT MY THANKS AND BLESSINGS, BUT IF YOU COULD BE SO KIND, I KNOW THAT GOD WILL SMILE UPON YOUR GOOD DEEDS.

... Perhaps the people here aren't as charitable as I might have guessed. Heaven help me.

A list of things your character might have on them after they got snatched up and put on this island:
-Awesome dune buggy with bonus coffin-on-wheels
-HEADPHONES AND MUSIC PLAYER-- hopefully now with infinite island-brand battery.
-Some totally non-suspicious looking papers at all.
