Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
5'9". Fairly tall, lean-built but muscular.
2. How old is he?
Due to the nature of his profession, he is virtually immortal and his exact age can't be determined. However, he appears to be in his late twenties.
3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?
It depends on his mood, really.
4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
Physically fit and no illnesses or conditions to speak of. However, his actual physical strength/fitness isn't always that impressive...
5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
When in full Dark Regenerist mode, his movements are usually fluid, calculated, and often grandiose. Outside of that persona, however, he can sometimes be a bit of a klutz.
6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?
Pretty attractive, and he knows it. He lacks for no confidence in his good looks.
7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Lightly tanned, with no scars or other notable marks or features.
8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style.
Just short of shoulder-length, pretty thick and wavy. Its color was originally black, but changed to dark blonde when he gained the power of the Dark Regenerist.
9. What color are his eyes?
Dark gold.
10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
Physically, none.
11. What are his chief tension centers?
His back and shoulders.
12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?
Considering the rigidity of his Dark Regenerist garb, he prefers to dress down whenever he can; his wardrobe is mostly varied, and he doesn't have much preference when it comes to style or color.
13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?
Very well, even his DR outfit. He won't wear something if he's not comfortable in it.
14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?
Lord no. As mentioned above, he prefers to dress much more casually when he's not adopting his DR persona.
15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
Commando.
Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
Pitch-wise, about mid-range.
2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate?
Loud, clear, and confidently. He only hesitates when something catches him off-guard, or when he's legitimately unsure of or uncomfortable about something.
3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
None in particular.
4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency?
With his power, he actually has the capability of fluent communication with any sapient being that summons him. Ask him spontaneously how to say something in another language, though, and he'll falter.
5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
No.
6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words?
Usually the former. As mentioned above, it takes him being caught off-guard, unsure or uncomfortable about something to change this.
7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
See above.
Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart?
Even excluding his DR powers, he is very intelligent, though more of the former sort than the latter.
2. Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate?
It depends entirely on the situation at hand, though he does prefer careful planning to impulsive action (even if he does sometimes tend to be a pretty impulsive person).
3. Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
Oddly, both. His Dark Regenerist persona follows logical, practical lines of thought, but his own personality (and latent ability) tends more to rely on intuition, hope and personal trust.
4. What kind of education has the character had?
Aside from his training under Quinn and Azazel, he is entirely self-taught. He reads a lot, and has since his early youth.
5. What are his areas of expertise? What, if anything, is he interested in learning more about?
He is exceedingly skilled and knowledgeable when it comes to many forms of magic, more so than any of his brothers. Due to his latent ability, he is also skilled at reading the bonds between people (or lack thereof), though he's not always accurate when it comes to reading those people themselves.
6. Is he an introvert or an extrovert?
These days he acts like an extrovert, and his Dark Regenerist persona helps with that, but he's always been more of an introvert.
7. Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
It really varies. He's usually upbeat most of the time, but can also be pretty moody and prone to bouts of depression, irritation, or just plain apathy for days at a time.
8. How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
Always with suspicion-- as the Dark Regenerist, he can't afford not to-- but he rarely shows it.
9. Is he more likely to act, or to react?
Act.
10. Which is his default: fight or flight?
Flight.
11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does he appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?
All of the above, though he rarely appreciates any directed at himself.
12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders?
No.
13. What moments in this character's life have defined him as a person?
There are many, but the most notable ones would be Bifrons's loss of his candidacy, his own test of candidacy, meeting Konrad Sharpless, and his capture by the Orion Guild.
14. What does he fear?
Being trapped or powerless, in any sense of either word.
15. What are his hopes or aspirations?
None in particular; he really just wants to live life as happily (though maybe not peacefully) as he can.
16. What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him?
How truly pathetic he was before passing his test of candidacy and gaining the power of the Dark Regenerist-- hence his grandiose, outgoing DR persona.
Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with his parents.
The only ones who could be considered his "parents" would be Azazel the Destroyer and Valerius Quinn-- and while they were both responsible for the creation of him and his brothers, the only one who has acted as a true parent in any capacity is Quinn.
2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
He has four: Paimon, Amon, Bifrons, and Amy (the only one technically younger than him). The only one with whom he is close at all is Bifrons, despite a brief cutting of ties when Buer discovered he had gotten into the same business as Balore Bliss. On the other hand, he absolutely cannot stand Paimon, who constantly bullied him in their youth and continues to believe that he alone rightfully deserves the power of the Dark Regenerist. (He's fairly ambivalent towards Amon, however, and doesn't know Amy well enough to have any sort of relationship with him.)
3. Are there other blood relatives to whom he is close? Are there ones he can't stand?
No other blood relatives to speak of.
4. Are there other, unrelated people whom he considers part of his family? What are his relationships with them?
The other two people who work in CioCio-- Masaki Kasahara and Ridley Thomas-- whom he met (and subsequently "adopted") through different contracts. There's also his "daughter," Mariposa Kasahara, a salamander he raised from an egg (which he won by yet another contract) that has since taken on human form.
5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?
Ari Niiran, who... okay honestly I don't remember how they first met. :'| But even though he hasn't seen or heard from her in quite some time, he still considers her a dear friend.
6. Does he have other close friends?
Very few.
7. Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people?
He doesn't have any trouble getting along with most people, but he's hesitant to forge any bond closer than casual friendship with others.
8. Which does he consider more important: family or friends?
Considering the state of his family and friends both, I'm not sure he could really see one as being more important than the other.
9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed?
In a relationship, but not married.
10. Is he currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?
Uh... Yes.
11. Who was his first crush? Who is his latest?
First was on Konrad Sharpless (with whom he is currently romantically involved), and latest... well. He's found lots and lots of people attractive, let's just leave it at that.
12. What does he look for in a romantic partner?
He wouldn't really know, since he's never pursued a romantic relationship with anyone other than Konrad, but aside from good looks and a good personality, he'd really just want to be with someone who could come to terms with his power and see him for more than just that.
13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does he relate to them? If no, does he want any?
Other than Mariposa, he has fathered one child-- but this was strictly in accordance with a contract, and he knows nothing of the child itself.
14. Does he have any rivals or enemies?
Paimon, for his repeated attempts to steal his power for himself; the Orion Guild, for their attempt to capture him under Rigel LI's command; and Lysander, for tricking him into a contract that bound him for literally ages.
15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does he fall on the Kinsey scale?
He is utterly pansexual. His only real criteria when it comes to prospective partners are "consenting" and "attractive."
16. How does he feel about sex? How important is it to him?
Despite his introverted aspects, sex is vitally important to him, and he can't imagine living without it.
17. What are his turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?
Too many to count.
Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does he fit type?
His Anchor ID carries the (false) birthdate of July 29, but the Leo sign fits him rather well anyway.
2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in his life?
It's hard for him not to be, considering his dealings with deities, super-deities, and his own powers.
3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?
Yes, but considering the nature of his duty, he can't exactly allow his own morals to interfere with his work. The only exception he will make to this is if his close friends or loved ones become involved.
4. How does he regard beliefs that differ from his? Is he tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent?
Tolerant, and usually curious.
5. What prejudices does he hold? Are they irrational or does he have a good reason for them?
He really tries not to have any sort of prejudice, but he can't help but be wary of anyone he meets for the first time outside of a summons (particularly if he knows nothing of them), mostly due to his experiences with being taken advantage of by his brothers, Orion, and various others. This also makes him a bit slow to trust, despite all his outgoing appearances.
Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is he rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?
Not particularly rich, but thanks to Azazel's graces, he wants for nothing financially.
2. What is his social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected him?
None in particular, since he (not quite inaccurately) considers himself apart from society.
3. Where does he live? House, apartment, trailer? Is his home his castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does he share it with others?
He lives in a tiny "cozy" flat above his coffee shop, CioCio, which houses his own room, Mariposa's old bedroom, and a bathroom. Despite its size, he finds it rather comfortable and would consider no other place his "home base."
4. Besides the basic necessities, what does he spend his money on?
Food. He doesn't have many personal indulgences (apart from sex, at least), but food is one of them.
5. What does he do for a living? Is he good at it? Does he enjoy it, or would he rather be doing something else?
His trade is that of the Dark Regenerist, and as the only one of his brothers who successfully passed the test of candidacy, he is literally the only one suited for the job.
6. What are his interests or hobbies? How does he spend his free time?
He considers running CioCio more of a hobby than a job, so he doesn't particularly care how many customers they get or how much product they sell.
7. What are his eating habits? Does he skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?
He eats whenever he can, though he doesn't have any regular habits when it comes to food. He's also not in the habit of drinking often, but he always keeps it well-stocked in case the need for alcohol arises.
