Character: Heat
Series: Digital Devil Saga
Character Age: Physically around 17-21 somewhere.
Canon: Digital Devil Saga is the story of people in a world called the Junkyard, where tribes battle with each other to gain access to Nirvana. But in a sudden twist, everyone gets turned into cannibalistic demons! Awkwa~ard.
Heat is an officer of the Embryon tribe and the group's requisite anti-hero; he is capable of shape-shifting into a two-headed fire demon. Aggressive and with a mean sense of humor, Heat growls instead of talking normally and claims to be perfectly willing to take over if their leader gets snuffed. He is also pretty much the only one who doesn't have issues with the whole 'people are an always food' thing. Actually, he sort of thinks eating people is the best thing ever. Hell, the vast majority of his optional dialogue revolves around it. (And the rest is about this girl he's passionate to protect.) Although this may make Heat seem like a bit of a one-trick cannibal, it's due to a special issue in his canon -- the characters suffer from a double form of amnesia. They start out blank slates, then awaken to emotion and a rough identity, THEN later to memory. At the time he's apped from (between games 1 and 2, to match with Cielo), Heat's only awoken to the first, so he's a bit rough about the edges and focused on the things he knows -- strength, killing, devouring. Even later, he's the sort of guy who finds his reason for life in combat -- but if you're going to take him on, you'd better have guts.
After all, he likes that in a meal.
Sample Post:
All right, listen up, because I'm only gonna say this once. Either you're gonna show me the way to my comrades or you're gonna show me the exit. Oh, don't think you can keep this information from me. There's a lot of you here and I'm pretty sure I'm going to get answers before I get full.
See, I'm not sure I buy this whole "once you're in, you can't get out" thing. There has to be some trick to it. Fight these counselor-types for dominance of camp? That could be arranged. Climb the tallest building in camp? Okay, fine. Take down the person making the dumbshit rules camp has to live by? Can do that too. Sure, I know they say she's not really easily accessible, but--
Director, how about a dinner date?
... Nah, I didn't actually expect that to work. Getting a snack's never that easy. Sure, there's a certain appeal to having to fight for a meal, but the food here's been pretty disgusting so far. I mean, I'm used to food disagreeing with me -- it's always "Heat, don't eat me!" this and "Please, don't hurt me! Stay back!" that -- but that's usually before they die, not after. Raw flesh yes; rotting flesh, hell no.
Even if it's true that I can't leave, you'd better produce my comrades if you wanna live. I'm looking for a black-haired girl. If she's here and I don't see her within the next half hour, you're all toast. C'mon, think. You seen her? Go on and discuss it with each other; I don't care. Two heads are better than one ... which means I can eat you in half the time, so I'd better get an answer fast. The rest of the Embryon tribe should have ended up here like I did too. Take me to my leader.
Nothing? Don't think I'm just going to give up. I'm not that type of guy.
See... where there's life, there's lunch.
