Squalo Superbi | KHR | Reserved

[sharkfoodbound]

Character Information
Name: Superbi Squalo
Canon: Katekyou Hitman Reborn
Age: 15
Canon Point:After handing the Varia over to Xanxus. Before the Cradle Affair.
History: Canon does not give us much. I can elaborate and fill in with headcanon if you'd like, though?
Personality:Squalo is, to most people, a loud obnoxious arrogant asshole of a brat. He's named for the cardinal sin of pride, and he sure acts the part - proud in the best and the worst of ways. He's got incredible amounts of confidence in his skill as a swordsman, and rightfully so, having defeated the world's best at the age of 14. So what if he lost a hand in the process - his left hand, and he was left-handed - he'll laugh and brag about it, and he'll even claim to have cut it off himself so as to better understand his oponent's fighting style who also had no left hand. ...Which is probably true too, he's easily crazy enough to do that kind of thing.

Ironically, he tends to appear sane enough at first glance. Even though he's got an ego the size of the sun he knows how to talk to people, he's very perceptive and usually calm and collected enough. His wit is sharp and he's especially fond of deadpanning and pointing out the obvious, and he likes getting reactions out of people. Squalo loves a challenge both verbally and physically, and since he already acts an arrogant asshole pretty often, he tends to get plenty enough of both. He's got the strength to back it up, after all. ...most of the time. And when he doesn't, he'll still assume he does until proven otherwise, because he's dreadfully stubborn in his pridefulness - more than likely he'll never learn. He spites his injuries too, when he recieves anything that'd be a hindrance to him in the first place, and doesn't take anyone's advice, especially not when it comes to taking it easy or anything to that effect. He's reckless and loud, cares little for his own safety and even less for that of others - well, with a few exceptions. At this point in canon, the only notable one is Xanxus. He has, after all, pledged his loyalty to him, and even though it seems like a spur of the moment thing to do, it's a pledge he will honor for decades to come. (And the rest of his life, probably.)

Being honorable is another distinguishing characteristic of his, and one that makes him a completely atypical assassin. He's got his own albeit slightly skewed set of morals ingrained in his bones, which includes the rules of the mafia world of course. But he doesn't, for instance, enjoy killing people who can't defend themselves, though the priorities are always clear: Xanxus' orders above everything else. He's responsible to the point of meticulousness, and a perfectionist to boot. That is part of what makes him so proud: he's got very high standards and expects himself to meet them, so if his skills aren't enough, he'll train until they are, and if his knowledge isn't enough, he'll study until it is. Of course the fact that he's very perceptive and quick to pick up new things helps with this. He is undeniably talented, very strong, and very intelligent, and he enjoys and flaunts this. Loudly. (No, I mean literally really very loudly.) Once he's decided on something, it's pretty impossible to dissuade him, because the only opinion he'd even seem to care about besides his own is Xanxus'. And as for his own opinions? He's pretty straightforward and open about them, and of course they're better than everyone else's. (If you don't think so, you're probably in denial. Or jealous. He gets that a lot, obviously.) His respect can be won, but only by strength: physical, mental, emotional. Preferrably a combination of all three, but even if there is some respect that doesn't mean he won't snark and deadpan, and neither does it mean he'll in any way go easy on the person.

Camp Information
Parent: Zeus! There are several reasons. One is that he similarly exhibits remarkable leadership skills. Not everyone can keep a bunch as crazy as the Varia in line, and Xanxus sure doesn't do that all on his own, it's usually Squalo who has to put up with them. Two is because he has a thing, a very big thing, for dramatic entrances. Because he's stubborn, horribly prideful, and knows well when and how to make tough choices, he's clever, short-tempered, honorable to every fault you can think of, and he braves impossible odds when he feels it's necessary.
Skills:manipulation of the weather, electrokinesis, unbreakable commands (infrequently)
Appearance: n/a

Samples
First Person/Journal Sample: Bracket spam threads from the test drive meme work, right?
Third Person/Log Sample:
Dealing with Cabin 11 was nothing like dealing with the Varia. At home, Squalo mused, regarding the new arrivals crowding into the place that was already packed, he dealt with plenty of different kinds of people, but at least they had a few things in common. They were all batshit insane, good at killing things, and answered to the same boss. Of course some of them were plain sick or just annoying little shits, but they had more in common than him and these... sheep. Because that's what the lot of them were. Not that his cabinmates were any less insufferable, stupid questions and stupid pranks and some days he wanted to beat their stupid fucking faces in. What irked him was that a lot of these people were so harmless. Some didn't want to fight, some flat out couldn't, and barely anyone would have the guts to take a life in a real fight. There was no reason to assume that the new guys would be different, either.
His scowl only deepened. Squalo got up off his bunk, teeth bared, grabbed his sword, and pushed past the people piling in to get some fresh air before he snapped and murdered somebody.

It felt good, for no reason he could name, to have the open sky above him. Breathing got a little easier right away, and in his own mind, he blamed it on the crowding.

His steps carried him over to the Arena, to see if there was anyone worthwhile to pick a fight with. It was unlikely, really. But hell, if nothing else, he could get some training in. This place was driving him stir crazy. He was supposed to be home. Or at least back in his own world, travelling perhaps, learning some new swordfighting styles, instead of damn near being under house arrest somewhere outside New York. As he practiced his forms, it crossed his mind to go outside the camp borders, and maybe see if some of those monsters were really all that dangerous. The thought made him smirk... but not for long, considering he'd gotten enough penalties in the last month to- well, forever, really. Boredom probably wasn't worth it. Yet. And hey, maybe some of these newbies would prove to be actually worthwhile, who knew. So, for now, he'd stay put. Not like he didn't have enough shit to put up with, anyway.

Xanxus |KHR | Reserved

[the_apex_predator]

Character Information
Name: Xanxus
Canon: Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Age: 16
Canon Point: Before the Cradle Affair, after he finds out he is adopted.
History: Xanxus
Personality: There are a few words that can be used to describe Xanxus, cruel, short tempered, foul mouthed, violent. He is a character who embodies Wrath. it is a part of the blood that flows through his veins. It fuels him, burns him from the inside. He has no qualms inflicting it upon any one for even the slightest infraction. A ruthless young man, any means necessary to reach his goal is the way he lives. He does not care who gets hurt or dies in the process as he sees most people as nothing more than trash or scum. Even his own subordinates are not free of his anger, in fact, they suffer it the most. Xanxus' temper will manifest from yelling,throwing things, to slamming a person's head into the table all the way to outright beating the (excuse my language)shit out of them. He has a foul mouth with a disrespectful attitude. Viewing himself in high regard, he knows he is powerful and sees few in his opinion that can compare.

That is not to say he is all rage, though, his strongest emotion is precisely that. Xanxus is also a cunning young man (brat), staging a coup at the age of sixteen against large numbers of seasoned mafia and all he had was his Varia subordinates. He cares little for anyone outside of himself and becoming Boss of the Vongola as he feels is his right. The betrayal of his parentage he feels that his adopted father perpetrated, taking him in out of pity has built a deep loathing for the man. He refuses to sit idly by and let them look down on him but instead plans to take over as Boss. Xanxus is determined to show them he is better. He honestly believes it is his destiny to be head of the Family.

Xanxus is a dangerous person, he embraces violence, oozes wrath, fights like a man possessed. A beast really with the way he will relentlessly come at an opponent. He is a young man who while full of rage has a mind sharp enough to make him a dangerous enemy. There is not a man who should not consider him as such, after all, he has a very short fuse. He enjoys good food, such as steak of the highest quality. Going from poverty to the life of a Mafia Boss' son gave him a taste of things he would never otherwise have had and he will be damned if he will have less now. No matter what he has to do to get it, it will be his.

Xanxus is not a man who trusts easily by any means. He will never admit to needing anyone, he does not think he does. In the end after his mother handing him over to a man who was not his father because of her illness. Then finding out that man was not his father, Xanxus does not have the belief that any one will stay or is capable of honestly caring. People will come and go so he does not form attachments, it is all a means to an end, to reaching his goal.

In short, do not take the coiled wrath waiting to spring from Xanxus lightly. But it is also wise to not think that he is just a foul mouthed, violent brat. For he is, but he is also a predator who will stalk, hunt and torture his prey if that is what the situation calls for. Though, learning to duck around him from flying objects and move quickly is advisable since he is bound to try and knock a few heads into tables and throw more than one glass.

Camp Information
Parent: Ares; I believe his volatile temper, bloodlust and over all personality peg Xanxus for a Son of Ares, he loves violence and fighting, is a natural at both and in general does not have a friendly disposition, he is a fighter.
Skills: Enhanced physical strength, proficiency with any weapon, intimidation.
Appearance: Not applicable

While we liked your application and characterization, we have to ask you for two things regarding his powers:

First, we'd prefer Ryoji not to have powers relating to death. They overlap too closely with children of Hades. You may choose another power if you'd like.
Second, we have to put a limitation on his use of shadows as weapons and as a means of invisibility. He will be able to do so, but only for a short period of time, and it would weaken him considerably. As time and training progress, his power may do so also.

If possible, please respond with a new Powers section reflecting these requests.

Re: Loki Laufeyson | Marvel 616 [JIM] | reserved

[not_a_troll]

Personality:
Loki is Asgard's least favorite denizen. Of course there have been enough reasons to not like Loki. After all, Loki's role has always been one tied to causing Ragnarok and an impressive amount of other foul schemes. That’s why there wasn't a welcome wagon waiting for a little Loki at his return to Asgard. Even though Loki's memory has been pretty much 'formatted' by the words of his brother Thor, he is more than aware of the role he has played in the past, even though he cannot recall specific acts. He refers to them as horrible visions appearing in his nightmare and there are a lot of moments he finds himself questioning if he really has been such a horrible person. Thor reassures him that that’s the past and he is his brother, and everything’s going to be dandy. Thor is also the one who protects his brother from the anger of everyone else in Asgard, sticking up for him and making sure he's safe. And especially making sure that Loki isn't tricking, cheating, lying or up to anything that might harm Asgard.

Unlike earlier stories, Loki is very attached to his brother, Thor. Whatever happens, Thor will forever be his brother. The trust his brother gives him is one of the main motivations to not become what he used to be. Even if that comes with great sacrifices (i.e. the life of said brother himself). It shows Loki is that brave-little-trooper kind of protagonist who carries on with his plans instead of falling into a pattern of self-pity and bitterness. Desperate situations call for desperate measures and in Loki's case that shows. Not only does he round up an interesting party consisting out of former villains to save Midgard and Asgard, he also is not afraid to abuse the reputation of his older self to get things done. Even though the entire plan to rescue both realms is tied together by making the most dubious deals with the most shady characters. He also sets Surtur free in the process, which is a really bad thing. Causing doom to prevent other certain dooms, so to speak. It is a perfect example that even with good intentions, Loki is not ashamed to do very dubious things.
The result of his entire grand scheme is that both realms remain, but that he has to lose his brother Thor in the process. If Volstagg hadn't stepped up to protect Loki instead (albeit very reluctantly) things probably would have looked more grim for him. Still, Loki doesn't seem very fazed by the constant bullying he suffers by other citizens of Asgard (since Loki is stripped of his magic and other abilities his fellow Asgardians feel way more confident to assault him and give him a beating or two). At least, that’s what it looks like, but he is a rather closed person when it comes to that. Of course, there are points it gets to him and he mutters about it (i.e. not getting gifts during yuletide, but getting a severe pummeling by some Asgardian kids instead), but he doesn’t do that in the open. There are some moments he cries but that’s mostly when he's alone and Ikol can sneer at him for being such a crybaby. For other sentiments, he shares these mostly with Leah (Hela's handmaiden), who he brands as his b.f.f. and who is his partner in crime during most of his adventures. The friendship with Leah is an important thing to Loki, after all, not many want to be his friend (and, to be honest, Leah isn't quite enthusiastic about Hela's idea to keep her with Loki at first either) and he values such things.
Loki is more the type that uses his brains instead of might. This shows when people bully him where he is acting surprisingly passive. He will crack a couple of insults but doesn’t really get into rowdy fights with the other kids. Of course Loki can get really pissed at things but those moments are rare, overall he's quite a mellow kid.
Still, Loki states multiple times that he wishes not to become like he used to be in the past. It is kind of a recurring thing. Even when faced with the spirit of his former self. who basically reveals that his rebirth is part of a greater scheme to ensure that Loki the Trickster and all his awful reputation would live on. The current Loki dismisses that and demands his older self to be reduced to a magpie, thus rejecting the role his older!self had set for him. This magpie, Ikol, joins Loki on all his adventures and Loki assigns it as his advisor. And maybe also a device to always remind himself of the person he never wants to become. He is very focused on this goal, and very focused on using his talents for a good cause. Loki fears that he’s to blame for Thor’s death, since he kind of staged it in order to save everything. Of course, he has consulted Thor about it after sneaking into the dungeon he got locked in after a major disagreement with Odin (whose plan was to only save Asgard and not Midgard). Actually, it were his brothers words that made him decide to go through with this. He hides this fear, but it becomes quite a danger in the arc concerning Nightmare, his hunt for fears inside people’s heads and Loki’s fear being the biggest (and most wanted) of all. Another fear is that he’ll grow up- Loki prefers to stay a kid. Just because if he would grow up, it would mean he might change into the man he used to be. This shows when he chooses not to throw a hell-pup into an abyss because he cannot abandon it, making a connection between the fact that no one wanted the puppy in the same ways a no one really likes him around in Asgard either. He names the dog Thori (after Thor).
Of course, as the god of lies, Loki is an expert liar. When confronted with something he did, and especially something he should never had done, he just flat out denies it and tries to convince you it really wasn't him. If there is no other conclusion than him doing it, he'll make up excuses to validate his acts and thus not making them look like the dubious decisions they actually are. He also lies about everything he thinks he needs to cover up with a lie. And trickery is also something he absolutely excels in, going from simple cardgames and gambling to tricking an enemy into spilling all the beans. He does lack the charming side his older-self used on others. For instance, Loki is horrible with women and the first meeting with Leah ended up with a knee right in his nuts. Next to that he can be very cheeky and is not afraid to have an opinion on something, or an idea, or a remark. Mostly a rather witty one.
Loki is extremely smart and catches on to things quite quickly. On the other hand he is also prone to making the strangest connections between the strangest subjects. A good example is that he refers a lot to internet memes and has a lot of interest in Midgardian popular culture. A good example of that is when a bully feels like kicking a Norse god's ass and Loki stands up and starts to refer to movies, torrents of bits and downloads to his pads of i, combined with the phrase 'I do not wish to have trouble here'. Of course he gets all the trouble he could get. The influence of internet on Loki is a recurring theme in the series, he takes pictures with his starkphone when he faces Surtur and wears V for Vendetta/Anonymous masks during another confrontation (next to that is also a referral to a British holiday).

While your application is otherwise fine, we have to ask you to revise the following aspect:

Your reasoning for the choice of parent deity can not be based on looks alone. Even though Aphrodite is also the goddess of beauty, and her children are very often beautiful, that is not all there is to them as people. We are looking for a basis in personality rather than appearance.

If possible, please respond with a revised Parent section. Should you choose a different parent deity for Mana upon further contemplation, please also include a revised Powers section.

Minako Arisato (Female Protag) | Persona 3 Portable | Reserved (2/3)

[hasthepotential]

Personality:
Minako Arisato is a lot of things to a lot of people, which can be both a boon and a burden to this orphan of ten years. In Japanese society, being an orphan often carries a stigma, as your heritage plays a key in your identity starting from birth and throughout your life. Perhaps this is why Minako was a blank slate, blessed with the power of the Wild Card - without family to fall back on, Minako is a blank slate, the perfect host for the embodiment of Death, who she carries within her for the next ten years. It is unknown how she spent the ten years of her life prior to her return to Iwatodai, and none of her friends seem to pry.

Having spent so much of her life ultimately alone, Minako developed a strong sense of independence and self-reliance. She is very introspective, looking to herself to maintain a cheerful disposition to see her through life without any real emotional ties to others around her. She moved around a great deal, transferring place to place until finally returning to her hometown of Iwatodai to begin her junior year at Gekkoukan High School.

She makes little fuss when she finds her arrangements there aren't exactly lined up. She's used to not really 'belonging' somewhere and seems to welcome the change. She approaches change with enthusiasm, her new acquaintances quickly taking notice of her bright and up-beat attitude to things that others often consider annoying.

As fate would seem to have it, Minako is thrust into the thick of a battle for humanity--and everything else, for that matter. During the fight, she also seemed to find her own. Minako is quickly appointed the leader of SEES, the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad headed up by Shuji Ikutsuki, the chairman of the board at Gekkoukan High School. She agreed without hesitation, always eager to try new things, charge ahead and take risks, and ultimately, to belong.

Minako is quick to fall into the role of leader, and takes her duties very seriously. She reaches out to each member of the team, pulling them back into the fold when they started to stray from the group, helping each teen with their issues and insecurities when they started to pose problems to the balance of the group. Minako becomes an unstoppable force in the lives of her new friends - almost literally. She's strong-willed, to the point of being pushy at times. However, she's a good listener and knows when to keep her opinions to herself, taking great care to read the social cues of those around her and only calling them to attention when they would be of benefit to the person's growth.

She's a multi-faceted individual who's unashamed by who she is, and doesn't think twice in her interactions, often acting on instinct. She's something of a tomboy, but frequently indulges her more girly side, especially when in Yukari's company. She also has a surprising appetite, something that several of her male friends comment on throughout the growth of her relationship with them.

Because of her attentive attitude towards her friends, she often neglects herself. She's physically resilient, able to physically keep up with her athletic senpai, spend hours leading SEES around Tartarus without being exhausted, and keeping up with her volleyball team's captain when her classmates give up around her. She isn't immune to getting sick, however, and there are several instances in which she does - one particularly telling time was when she ended up caught in a typhoon, bringing on such a fever that she went comatose for several days. As such, she is often a subject of both frustration and admiration by her peers...though probably more of the former.

While your application overall is just fine, we find that there isn't much to judge your character's voice with in your first person sample. As that's the purpose of the sample, we're going to have to ask for a little more speech from Phibrizzo. If you'd like, you may also link to outside threads.

So we ask you to please give us a new First Person/Journal Sample.
