Time to add a nice dark touch to the side of the Digidestined. I just hope my character works in this RPG...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Name: Edwin Tasselbury
Nickname: Lupin
Age: 23
Personality: Lupin appears serious and even a bit intimidating, as his aura portrays. This is aided by the fact that he tends not to show much emotion. Instead he'll mantain a smirk or cold gaze when around people, depending on how familiar they are. But reclusive though he tends to be, he can carry on a conversation just fine, and despite what you might think, he's pretty honest in what he says. But beware--he dodges questions just as frequently as he dodges the police. (He is a thief after all; his strongest skill is with picking locks and pockets.) He speaks in quite an articulate way as well, and he is a good liar when he does choose to lie. On the surface, not many things scare him, but he does really hate bright lights--including sunlight. He's nocturnal as a result.
But there are some idiosyncrasies. You might think someone leading a criminal life as violent and/or trampish. Actually, first of all Lupin is quite fussy about his appearance, and secondly, he does harm to someone only if he has to or if the victim did something evil, and keeps his thieving acts secret and in moderation. Plus he can't be considered rash, and has a good temper. And although he's not real big on it, he will accept help from people.
And we go on to the miscellaneous characteristic section. Though Lupin may seem to not have much respect for people and their property, he does have respect for nature, and seeks harmony with it. I dunno, maybe he sees himself as a predator among society, like a... wolf?... might be in the wild. He does have that spiritual side to him--in fact, because of a slight worry about karma, he occasionally feels compelled to have compassion for or even help people. (For example, he gives some of the money he steals to charity--a modern-day Robin Hood perhaps?) Also, it's nigh impossible to get him to fall in love with someone--I doubt even a siren or a love potion would work very well. You'll have to add some personality and friendship to establish a sense of love...
Appearance: Lupin is about 5'9" tall. His hair is fairly curly and long--as in almost touching his shoulders--and a light brown in colour. (More specifically, various shades of blond.) His eyes are a deeper, darker brown, an interesting contrast to his skin, a very pale shade thanks to lack of sunlight. Gaunt best describes his figure, yet he manages to avoid looking weak or dead. Besides, at least his face and hands don't look that bony. You won't find a whole lot of muscle on him (except maybe on his legs, since he's a very fast runner)--just enough to be able to move around quite well. And with absence of strength there is flexibility anyways. Form really does follow function...
Lupin wears a fairly long black jacket that fits him perfectly, so it doesn't look big on him or anything. There is the occasional golden button on the end of a sleeve or near the collar, and the dark purple embroidery on the neck, and purple satin lining what little you can see of the inside. He wears a shirt underneath the jacket, but it can't be seen at all anyways because he always buttons the jacket all the way up to his neck. Also he wears black trousers, which are also not too tight or baggy. He's not a firm believer in sneakers, and thus instead wears another kind of shoe made from black leather. He also wears a pair of glasses that have rectangular lenses and barely visible frames. Without them, his vision is still pretty good, but not as good as with them. Also, he doesn't carry around any sort of bag or backpack or anything--he just keeps everything his jacket pockets for the most part.
History: Ever since Lupin was twelve years old, there existed a little group called the Black Cat Bandits. They acted sort of like a gang, except they were less violent and more secretive, and focused more on stealing than fighting. This group was actually founded by Lupin and three of his childhood friends, and although Lupin wasn't the actual "leader" of the group, the idea revolved around his own thieving skills he had been developing years earlier, and inspired by the times he wandered about the city at night.
...But wait a minute, let's backtrack a little first, to the relatively poor Tasselbury family. Dad was the grouchy and abusive sort, whereas Mum was a bit more caring, yet still initially wanted a daughter instead of a son. Little Edwin was often either left in his room while his parents argued over him, or subject to Dad's torture, so he frequently left their little flat to wander about the seaside town, especially at night while they slept. Although Mum tried her best to care for him, Edwin ended up running away from them when he was ten. After a bit of traveling and being cared for in an orphanage, he met a girl named Kelsey, who had come from a similar past and thus became a friend for a while...
Okay, okay, so the Black Cat Bandits continued on (and grew up) without suspicion from parents or police, and there came a time when they went their separate ways career-wise... During this split-up (Lupin was about 20 at the time), he was in something similar to a faction of the mafia for a while--that is, until they picked on Kelsey as a victim, upon which he dropped out. The group punished him for this leave by blaming one of their murders on him, causing him to end up with A) a short time in prison (short because he escaped), and B) a criminal record, something he never wanted to have because he wanted to be viewed as an innocent most of the time. (To make things worse, his accusation has shown up in the news a few times, even though it was actually false.)
Shortly after this, the Black Cat Bandits made efforts to spend more time together, just like good old friends. A couple of new friends even joined the group, one of them being a computer geek (well, we have to factor computers in at some point in a Digimon tamer signup...) named Gon. Gon was special because one day while surfing the Internet, he found out about Digimon, and about an incident where one Digimon named Piedmon terrorised the Digi World and the Tamers. Then he heard that the Digi World usually recruited tamers by sending emails to them. Gon, having wanted a Digimon for himself for a long time, tried to hack his way into one of the portals to the Digi World, but never succeeded. Lupin, however, would find his way into the Digi World later on...
Digivice Colour: Dark Purple
How did they get to the Digi World: One night, Lupin broke into someone's house. Okay, that was nothing new... But, while walking past the computer, he noticed a glowing white screen with nothing but a mail icon on it. This was something Gon (see History) had identified as one of the emails sent to the Digidestined! Remembering that Gon had always wanted a Digimon, Lupin planned to forward the email to him. But, as soon as he opened the email, he was sucked right into the computer... and came out in the Digi-World. Oops. Computers do the darnedest things sometimes.
Starter Digimon: Yaamon
Digimon Nickname: Akuma
Other: Akuma's face is white instead of yellow. So he looks kind of like an Impmon without a body.
