Character Information

General
Canon Source: Supernatural.
Canon Format: Television series.
Character's Name: Crowley.
Character's Age: Crowley was born (human!) in 1661, making him roughly 350 years old, if you combine his human and demon lifespan. However, time in Hell is bizarre -- one month equals roughly ten years. So, if you work out the math, he's about ~3,500 to 4,000 years old. ... in short, he's a lot older than he looks.

What form will your character's NV take? Crowley has an iPhone canonly. 8) So I think that'll suit him just fine for his communicator.

Abilities
Character's Canon Abilities: Host; Demons are seriously tough SOBs. Shooting them, stabbing them, cutting them, breaking their bones have no effect on the demon in question -- and higher power demons seem to have the ability to use their power to heal their hosts, as they aren’t shown with their injuries when we meet them again later on. So far, canonly, there are only three ways to properly kill the demon inside the human host (which will be discussed below) -- but actual injuries to their bodies, much like the angels, do nothing to them.

Speed; Crowley has, in his own world, the ability to teleport from place to place. He is shown to appear in the backseat of the Winchesters’ Impala, through closed doors, and even into warded buildings without much fuss. He is also extraordinarily fast without the teleportation -- a lot of people try to kill him, okay?

Weaknesses; Crowley, as stated, is a demon. This means he has a weakness to holy water, can be exorcised, and can be trapped in a devil’s trapped if he is tricked into walking into one. The only way to truly kill Crowley -- that is, the demon possessing the body he is inhabiting -- would be to utilize Samuel Colt’s demon killing gun, Ruby’s demon killing knife, or to burn the bones of his original human self.

Contracts; Crowley is the King of Hell -- the King of the Crossroads -- and an extraordinarily powerful demon. A demon’s main power, if you are a powerful enough one, is the ability to forge contracts. These contracts are usually in exchange for the person’s soul -- and Crowley has the ability to grant most anything of what the person wants. Power, money, sex -- Crowley has access to it all, and the ability to manifest it instantly. The catch is that these contracts are iron-clad and should you try to back out of it, Crowley can rescind whatever he gave you and usually kill you for trying to break the deal.

Possession; Crowley is made out of two different parts -- the human body he is possessing and the actual demon that is inside him. He could, if he so chooses, leave the body he is currently inhabiting and possess someone else. This is extremely unlikely unless Crowley had absolutely no other choice. He rather likes his body, thank you very much. But if this is necessary, it would obviously be planned out OOCly and receive full permission.

Weapons: Crowley has no weapons on his person from his canon point, but he does have a bottle of dog blood that Castiel tricked him with. So, really, it's just for hilarity's sake that I'd like for him to have that with him upon his entrance to Siren's Port.

History/Personality/Plans/etc.
Character History: Crowley began as a young man by the name of Fergus McLeod. He was born in Scotland, in 1661, with a young son by the name of Gavin. When Crowley died, his soul was twisted, and instead of truly passing on to the next realm, he became a demon, a human soul that is twisted by the circumstances of their lives. However, Crowley was not the same as a lot of the mindless power-hungry demons that crossed the line into Lucifer’s domain. He was smart. And he quickly rose through the ranks to become one of the most powerful demons in Hell.

The first mention of Crowley is through the grapevine -- he is the right hand man of the most powerful demon of Hell, Lillith, and he is in the possession of Samuel Colt’s all-powerful gun, which has the ability to kill demons. The Winchesters decide that the gun is one of their only hopes of stopping Lucifer from jump-starting the Apocalypse so, with the help of the Harvelles and Castiel, they work to track the mysterious Crowley down. Castiel finds Crowley at a crossroads, making a deal with a banker who has run into some economic hard times. At the price of his soul and ten years of his life, Crowley gives the man the millions he needs to stop his bank from foreclosing -- and promptly vanishes from sight. Castiel follows, but cannot follow Crowley into his home. The demon warded his house against angels entering it with powerful Enochian sigils -- so Castiel is, effectively, SOL.

When the Winchesters, with the help of Jo Harvelle, break into the mysterious demon’s home, they encounter Crowley... who hands over the gun after shooting two of his own demon followers in the head, with very strict instructions: Kill Lucifer. Stop the Apocalypse. His motives for doing so seem pretty simple: Lucifer, according to Crowley, cares little to nothing about the demons he created and with Lucifer gone, Crowley can live on in relative peace making his deals and buying more houses along the Coast. The way Crowley sees it, the Winchesters can solve his problem for him and, without much more instruction, Crowley vanishes from sight.

Crowley, from this point on, is on the run from, as he puts it, “every bloody demon on Hell and Earth”. Unfortunately for Crowley, the Colt did not work against Lucifer, leaving the Devil alive and the Devil knowing that Crowley betrayed him. Fortunately for Crowley, there was still another plan -- opening the gates of Hell and casting Lucifer back into the Pit by utilizing the four rings of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Through utilizing his connections and his knowledge of the various demons in charge of taking care of the Horsemen, he manages to lead the Winchesters to the Horsemen of Pestilience, along with giving them the location of the Horsemen of Death. With this information, the Winchesters have the tools to lock Lucifer back into the pit -- though Crowley doesn’t stick around to watch it happen.

As soon as Lucifer is locked into the pit, Crowley becomes the King of Hell, and effectively takes over the place as the new head honcho, in order to make Hell something of a better place. He did away with the hellfire and brimstone and constant torture, in favor of a more ‘modern’ form of torture -- he remodeled it into something of a modern office space, where Crowley forces the condemned souls to wait in a line that goes on forever, because, as Crowley states it, “No one likes waiting in line.” Sometime after his reformation of Hell, Crowley approaches Castiel for a deal to open Purgatory and to release the souls inside of it to use for power. He manipulates the angel into agreeing, saying that Raphael cannot be allowed to restart the Apocalypse. Castiel agrees, after Crowley gives him an insurance policy -- 50,000 condemned souls from Hell itself in order to give Castiel the power boost he needed to challenge Raphael for the kingdom of Heaven. This starts a civil war in Heaven, Castiel versus Raphael, which Crowley mostly ignores save for whenever he needs to speak to Castiel regarding how to crack open Purgatory.

Castiel and Crowley’s partnership is unknown to the rest of the cast -- Castiel even assists Crowley in faking his own death in order to keep the deal a secret. It works out, for the most part, until Dean, Sam, and Bobby catch Castiel eavesdropping on them while invisible. They trap the angel in holy fire in order to get the truth out of him, but when demons attack the house, the three flee the scene and leave Castiel trapped in the holy fire, unable to escape. Crowley arrives shortly after to release the angel from the fire, which only sets Castiel’s resolve to open Purgatory even more, which works out marvelously in Crowley’s favor.

The only problem, to Crowley, was that the Winchesters were hellbent on stopping Castiel from opening Purgatory. Crowley demanded that Castiel just kill the annoyances and be done with it, but the angel refused, and threatened Crowley's life instead. Trapped and without many options, Crowley agreed to not kill the Winchesters -- but, instead, kidnapped Dean's girlfriend and her son, Lisa and Ben, in order to send them on a wild goosechase while Crowley continued to work towards his goal of opening Purgatory. He even goes so far as to have a demon possess Lisa as an insurance policy. The entire situation ends horribly for Dean in particular -- not that Crowley really gives a damn. Unfortunately for the demon, it winds up being one of the last straws for Castiel working amicably with him, and his grand plan to secure his position in Hell quickly falls apart.

Castiel betrays him and insists on taking all of the souls instead of the agreed half of the deal, threatening to kill the demon if he does not agree. When this occurs, Crowley goes to the only individual who could even hope to beat Castiel -- the Archangel Raphael. Together, Raphael and Crowley plan to beat Castiel to the punch and open Purgatory first, but Castiel dupes them both and opens the realm before the archangel and the demon can. Upon absorbing all of the souls, Castiel loses his mind, and becomes an entirely different creature. As soon as Crowley realizes that Castiel ruined his ritual and absorbed all of the souls, he promptly leaves Raphael’s side, choosing to evacuate rather than stand a fight.

It is after this moment that he is taken.

For clarification purposes, just in case I didn't explain anything well enough, here is Crowley's wikipedia page, with a full detailed synopsis of his role in the series, along with everything else he's ruined accomplished.

Point in Canon: 6x22: The Man Who Knew Too Much.

Character Personality: Crowley, on the surface, is the most swag short British man you will ever meet. He is eloquent, well-spoken, with a taste for the finer things in life. He wears only the best clothes, drinks only the best scotch, and lives in a mansion fit for a king. Few would expect, when you meet Crowley, that he is the most powerful demon of Hell, the ruler of the underworld, and one of the most manipulative and savvy creatures to grace the Winchesters with his extraordinarily amazing presence. Scratch that exterior, however, and you come across a much more complicated individual.

Crowley began as the right-hand man to the most powerful demon in Hell and the Crossroads Demon when she fell from power due to her death. He clawed and scratched his way to the top through his own determination and cunning to become the self-appointed King of Hell, after Lucifer was locked into the pit. No one gave him that position -- Crowley took it for his own, on his own merit. While it isn’t exactly a high achievement in terms of moral integrity, Crowley is a determined, self-established, cunning individual who takes everything on his own terms, and no one else’s. He is his own boss. No one, angel or demon, will tell him what to do or how to rule his realm. He even goes so far as to plot against Lucifer -- his ‘father’ of sorts -- in order to have him killed to further his own goals for reforming Hell into the place it rightfully should be. His allegiance is to his own goals and no one person in particular. He is a lone agent, which makes him a particularly powerful ally (or enemy) to have.

Being the King of Hell is a difficult position -- and Crowley takes this position seriously. He will do anything and everything to keep his position his own, including work with the angels (or, rather, Castiel) and the Winchesters in order to get what he wants. He is manipulative and is frequently shown manipulating those around him, especially Castiel, in order to get new allies and further his goals. He’s not exactly the nicest guy in town. However, when Crowley makes a deal, he sticks to the deal. That doesn’t mean he won’t take advantage of every possible loophole imaginable -- after all, Crowley held Bobby Singer’s soul over his head simply because he could -- but he will not go back on his word should he make a contract. After all, what good is being the King of Hell if your word and reputation aren’t trustworthy? One must make a good impression if you’re going to capture a large amount of clientele.

Crowley also has something of a hair-trigger temper, when he is pushed to the brink. He tends to go from his standard soft-spoken condescending tone to screaming within two point four seconds, depending on what you say to him. Should you provoke his wrath, Crowley will make you pay for it. He has little to no qualms about killing or murder (he’s the King of Hell, for heaven’s sake) and is shown killing an entire building of demons in order to get to one who has a bit of information that would prove useful to him. He tortures his own kind for information regularly, but it seems to be something of a last resort for Crowley. He dislikes getting his hands dirty -- his suits are woefully hard to find replicas of and blood is impossible to get out without a fight.

Despite all of these obvious and hideous flaws, Crowley is shown to have a few small moments of legitimate kindness -- well, in his own unique way. He returns Bobby the ability to walk as an “extra” piece of their deal together, though he didn’t have to do such a thing. He seems to genuinely be interested in why Castiel is upset numerous times, though he is often callous and abrupt with the angel whenever asking. While there is almost always something in it for him, he frequently assists the Winchesters in accomplishing their goals, though it puts him at great personal risk, and he never spells out his true motivations completely. He is far from a good person (in fact, he’s actually kind of a terrible individual), but Crowley has his odd moments of humanity that make him one of the most complicated and complex individuals in the series.

Character Plans: Crowley's entire role in Supernatural is the aloof agent who plays both sides in order to accomplish what he wants. He helped take down Lucifer and stop the Apocalypse -- so he's definitely got experience in dealing with horrible management. Once he figured out something was up, I think he'd be inclined to investigate -- but whether or not he cares enough to actually stop anything is entirely up to how much he gets out of it.

Appearance/PB: Crowley is a very swag British demon that is played by Mark Shepphard. 8) Here we go!

Writing Samples

First Person Sample [Crowley turns on the NV with the air of a pro -- because he is, thank you very much. He looks relatively unbothered by the events -- arrival in a new world, being dropped in a baseball diamond, some poor innocent bastard informing him that no, he is not home, and welcome to Siren's Port, mate, have a look around and be careful not to die.

No, Crowley looks positively calm.

This probably a sign that people should get out of his way.]

What a delightful turn of events... quite the perfect ending to the brilliant day I've had. I'll be seeing the hounds of Hell upon my heels at any given moment, I expect.

[Crowley shrugs a shoulder, and here, Crowley allows himself the luxury to look somewhat bothered. Something is wrong -- but like hell is Crowley going to explain what. He clicks his tongue between his teeth before he turns to business again.]

Tell me, are the Winchesters here? This reeks of their idiocy. Particularly the large one.

I've never had taste for him.

[And he shuts the device off.]

Third Person Sample It was difficult to describe how Crowley felt when he realized that the past -- oh, hundreds of years of work had been completely and utterly for nothing.

Trusting Castiel had been a gamble, but a well-thought out one, in Crowley's opinion. The angel was in much the same position as he, though the demon would rather drink holy water than admit it. Castiel was on the brink of transforming Heaven into the world it should be, just as Crowley had the power of Hell at his fingertips to wrought into something that could almost be misconstrued as respectable.

Like it or not, they were two halves of a coin that could change the fate of their world. And, like it or not, Crowley threw his lot in with an angel that he felt could be trusted to be manipulated into doing exactly as he needed to do.

Unfortunately, the Winchesters -- even thinking the damn name made nonexistent bile rise in the back of the demon's throat -- intervened, as they were wont to do, which left Crowley staring down the barrel of a large unstable two-barrelled smoking gun filled with Grace, millions of soul, and a particular detest for him.

So, it was with a smile and a quick turn of his heel that he fled. The Winchesters could deal with their pet angel -- no, as the whispers soon confirmed -- their pet God -- and Raphael could rot with his brothers, as far as the demon was concerned. No, he had something more important to think about -- his damn survival.

Everyone else had screwed the pooch. That didn't mean he had to pay for it.
