Description

Botulf Botulfsson

[img](A%20picture%20of%20your%20character.)[/img]
BASICS
Name: Botulf Botulfsson
Nickname: Bo

Status: Dead.

Role: Phantom
Age: He appears about 36, though he was born in the mid 1200s. He's nearly 800 years old now.
Gender: Male
Sexuality: What is that?
Race:  What? When did we decide we were racing? Where to? And for what purpose?
Nationality: Swedish


APPEARANCE
Eyes:Large, half-lidded, and grey.
Hair: Fine blonde hair, almost white, always tossled since in fits of exasperation, he often times tugs lightly on it. Because of this, he almost always looks like a madman, clods of hair sticking every which way.
Height: 5'6" though he'll swear he was tall for back in the day.
Weight: A slight man, very thin and frail. No more than 130lbs after gorging himself on brownie mix and beer soaking wet.
Skin Tone: Exceedingly pale and almost translucent--and this has nothing to do with his dead qualities. He was this pale before he died. You'd think that being burned at the stake wouldn't have at least given him a slight tan.
Build: Very slight, thin, with stooping shoulders even though he could use all the height he'd get from standing up straight. Spindly.
Body Markings: Pale grey freckles dot his nose and his cheek bones, though there is no more than a dozen.
Voice: Smooth and soft-spoken. When he speaks, it often sounds like he's asking for permission or asking a question.
Description: A slight pale man with dark lips and dark circles under his eyes, sharp feminine features. Stooped and small, he appears frail and fragile, almost doll like. His face almost always gives off an expression of slight distress, albeit lazy, though the reason is not always apparent. He is very pale, almost albino, and appears washed out. His movements are slow, with a delay almost, though he is still animated when he speaks. His expressions go between half lidded crescents to round in the eyes and mouth, he will rise higher when interested too, like inflating a balloon.


MENTALITY
Quirks: His mind is very linear, and changing the subject (from what he has decided the subject is) can be very difficult.
Fears: Naturally fire, which is silly since hell was a comfortable home for him for a bit--much better than his original time on earth. But then again, he was originally for Sweden. He hates yelling and loud noises, and overstimulation will cause him to shut down.
Likes: Philosophy, Immanuel Kant, he theoretically likes humans and heavily subscribes to humanism type philosophy--however, he is very apathetic on an individual level. Dinosaurs and fossils.
Dislikes: Religion, Mikey, sarcasm and humor--he get's very defensive if he thinks people are making fun of him.
Personality: His attention to detail can be borderline neurotic, and his inability to filter his thoughts or read the subtleties of other peoples' emotions is borderline asperger's syndrome. Completely socially inept, probably should be locked in a closet somewhere, especially if there are important guests coming over. Sarcasm is beyond him, though lately he has been taking a stab at it. His attempts are comical in an epic fail kinda way. He uses overly flowery language. He loves dinosaurs. When drunk, he turns into a goofy incoherent mess. Annoying and loud and he makes weird sounds and tries to talk about things but makes no sense. Often times just falls asleep after what's been a stressful hour for those around him.


EQUIPMENT
Casual Clothing: Tailored brown slacks, suspenders, and a dress shirt that appears too big for him, though one that did fit would probably appear even more strange. A long skinny maroon tie hanging sloppily from his neck, and a tan vest. He has a coat that matches his slacks, though he hardly ever wears it. Who wears their coat inside of a bar?
Carried Items:  Cigs and a flask.
Weapon: His ability to make you feel awkward.

USEFULNESS
Skills: (at least two)
     
  • Eidetic Memory: Able to recall images, sounds, melodies, accents, entire monologues at a moment's notice. Useful for imitations of people for comedic value, but also useful to bring him to meetings for his ability to instantly recall exactly what was said by whom. He can reproduce paintings or paint images from memory with startling accuracy. Seemingly limitless mnemonic skills.
  • Virgin Daiquiri: Uninterested in sex, oblivious to sexual tension, unable to be seduced for information?

Weaknesses: (at least two)
     
  • What? I don't get it.: Though he understands the words, he sometimes has trouble applying the concepts. It's not that he forgets you told him to be quite, he just doesn't understand WHY so he's not going to listen. He has severe problems with authority and being told what to do.
  • Bull Headed.: If he's afraid of a situation, there is no way you'll convince him to do otherwise. Walk past this fire to save your soul? Nope. Begging him to get up and leave the piano while he's in the zone? Nope.

Abilities: espionage, humor, remembers everything ever about facts and constantly organizes them in his head, able to list off everything he may have heard about zombies in a near exact replica of everyone's voice in a moment's notice.


HISTORY
Martial Status: Kung-Fu Master?
Family: Orphaned as a child, burned by the only rough approximation of a family he ever knew, Luci is his family now. And has been for quite a while.
History: An orphan growing up in sweden, which was luckily one of the last places touched by the extreme totalitarian inquisition style catholicism, his scientific mind was encouraged. However, after their archbishop has gone on a vacation/training mission to gather some of the philosophy going on in rome, he came back with this great idea that the communion literally became the body and blood of christ through faith. Bo was having none of it, and refused to concede. They punished him by putting him in isolation for seven years. And when he came back, while kneeling before the same priest who had ousted him, taking his first communion in seven years, the priest told Bo that he surely MUST believe now that the communion was literally the body and blood of christ. UNable to contain himself, Bo essentially responded, "No. More yada yadda yadda stuff." He was accused by the Catholic Church of heresy after having denied that the wine and bread of the communion was literally the blood and body of Christ, and the only person in Sweden's history to have been executed for heresy.

Upon being thrust into Hell, he kind of wandered around. Luci immediately noticed that someone like Bo clearly did NOT belong in hell in a "What the...what the hell...what the fuck is this? WHY ARE YOU HERE. WHAT COULD YOU HAVE DO-oh...yea I can see that" sort of conversation, he became almost a pet to Luci, a strange mascot, and like a weird cousin that Luci doesn't like to talk about but still takes care of.

Opinions on the Situation:
Luci,
vampires,
zombies,
archangels,
chance of an apocalypse destroying everything,
weather,
how angry you are that your favorite toothbrush has gone missing...
just let it all out, buddy

Relations: (If you want any pre-existing relations between your character and someone else's. If you've been associating with Luci then you probably know most of the others simply by contact. Mingling in the the speakeasy is inevitable. If you've been a lackey for a while, then you'll REALLY know the others. If you're new, though, maybe you don't know anything at all. This only applies for relations at the START of the roleplay. )

So begins...
