Character Information
Name: Sid Barrett
Canon Origin/Series: Soul Eater
Gender: Male
Age: 35
Personality: A MOTHERFUCKING NINJA. No, really. Sometimes he just pops out of nowhere. He wouldn't be doing reconnaissance if he wasn't. :V A teacher that is enthusiastic about imparting knowledge onto his little students, seeming to favor the hands-on method of learning through trial and error, albeit these trial and error methods tend to be controlled most of the time or Sid can guess how they'll end up accurately with his zombie braaains. Even through fairly unorthodox methods. He doesn't coddle his students by any means and keeps his cards close to his chest. The latter is spurred by his sense of duty towards DWMA Shibusen. BUT there is a downside to Sid's personality, namely him being blue.
And I don't mean depressed, he is literally blue. Sid came down with a case of death and zombie resurrection after the series started and since then it's been a sore spot for him in some respects. He knows he's terrifying/looks odd and doesn't like being around people he doesn't know or be in public places and takes it very hard when people react with fear to him. "I wish I was never brought back to life!" This might be part of the reason why he has the verbal tic "that's the kind of man I once was" or some variation thereof whenever he does something noble or...anything in general. He probably does it after he takes out the trash, too. He mentions that adults cling to the past while children charge on towards the future after saying he used to be a good-looking guy. SO YEAH HE REGRETS IT A LITTLE. JUST A LITTLE.
In short, Sid Barrett is in fact a zombie ninja that's insecure about his appearance and doesn't like frightening others, but he'll still teach your ass what's what and doesn't care if it looks like you're going to be in serious trouble because he knows you won't.
Why should they be a camp counselor? Because he loves working with children and teaching them things so much he came back from the dead to do it. No, not really. But he really does like working with children and imparting his knowledge onto them and even if he does tend to step back and let them go on with their business so they can learn things, he's not about to let them get their heads ripped off by bears. That wouldn't be very professional.
One roleplay sample: It was only natural for a counselor to go and greet the campers on the first day of camp, and Sid was never one to procrastinate on duties. The kind of man he used to be was always prompt and straightforward.
However, there was the problem of him noticing there were some rather young-looking campers among the teens. Sid hesitated upon realizing that his appearance might frighten them and debated actually leaving the hallway. He opted to slowly peek his head out of the doorway and eventually edge his way out, close to the wall.
"Hey, where'd that totem pole come from?" a girl asked, pointing at Sid.
A totem pole. Sid sighed and shook his head. "If this is what you think a totem pole looks like, you lot need more teaching than I expected." He felt a little bad when the girl squeaked and jumped back, but he could save the apologies for later. "The kind of man I was wouldn't have quibbled over small details, though, so let's just get to the point: I'm Sid Barrett and I'm one of your counselors." Not waiting for a reaction from the children, Sid hefted up the clipboard he had been holding and glanced over the content. "And this is the list of campers who are supposed to be here. Let's get started with the roll call. If I find anyone's off fooling around instead of being here...well, I'll just hope you haven't been eaten by bears yet."
