[Character Name] Belphegor
[Canon] Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
[Point Taken from Canon] Future Arc. During the battle with real six Funeral Wreaths that are left, waiting for Mukuro and Fran to finish their illusions of their "deaths" (About Chapter 270/271 or episode 198)
[Age] 26
[Gender] Male
[Sexual Orientation] Bel probably would play for either team if he's interested enough
[Eye Color] Unknown (his hair always covers his eyes)
[Hair Color] Blonde
[Height] 180cm (about 5'11")
[Other] Bel's hair is always covering his eyes, he tends to grin a lot, and he's never without his crown. Also, he has a crescent moon shaped birthmark on the right side of his stomach.
[Clothing] Bel tends to wear striped long t-shirts under his Varia uniform, which consists of a white/tan and black leather jacket with a fur-edged hood and leather pants. The Varia badge is set onto the left arm. Bel also wears tall over-the-knee black boots. [The blonde in the picture.]
When not in uniform he tends to go for casual to stylish casual. But never never without his crown.
[Background] To be found here.
[Personality] Belphegor would describe himself with one word and call that good: a prince. I'll expand a bit though, no worries. He's a genius, self-absorbed, narcissistic, lazy and loves to cut and kill things. Really one can only expect as such from the self-proclaimed Prince the Ripper.
As royalty it's not surprising that Bel lords his title over others and speaks of it all the time, but in reality he could care less about the country or its people, he just enjoys being a prince. It affords him to be able to do whatever it is he wants. This is why he took on a job though he had no need for one and joined the Varia independent assassination squad, because they were the best (he would associate with nothing less after all) and he could do what he enjoyed most, which was using his knives to cut and kill. And boy does he ever enjoy it.
Bel thinks he's better than everyone else. As such he is right, others are just pawns and toys, and all is meant for his entertainment. He also considers himself above things like rules or laws and there aren't many things that Belphegor respects. Those few things he does, he still regards with a surface light and carefree attitude, as if he only goes along with them because it amuses him. Even if there is respect or comradery there, Bel does not show that in typical manners. Though one could argue by the Prince bowing to the whims of their Boss, that's showing far more respect than most get. Bel has a healthy respect for Xanxus, probably because by running with him he keeps getting to have fun and because otherwise he'd be dead by now (Xanxus has a rather short fuse and a violent manner to say the least). But if one can earn his respect, that doesn't make them completely safe either, as everything is subject to the Prince's whims in the end.
It also probably doesn't help his ego that Bel is considered a genius at what he does by many, being a skilled high-ranked assassin before 16 (he decided to join the Varia at 8...). His talents with knives and wires and clever strategies make him very formidable in combat.
Also to note about his superiority complex is that it was likely only worsened when he killed off his brother (who was said to be better than Bel in every way) at the age of 8. Thus an inferiority complex may have twisted to become a superiority one rather easily.
When it comes to a fight, Bel's preservation instincts seem to be circumstantial and subject to his moods. In his ring battle with Gokudera he is more than willing to die to win and nearly ends up doing so while maniacally enjoying his triumph over the other Guardian candidate who chose to give up and live another day at the pleas of his boss. For Bel, in a fight it excites him to be injured and to see his own blood, as this triggers his true talents. It's at that point that self-preservation seems to go out the window. Otherwise, Bel doesn't seem to have a problem with retreating or hiding if that's the best course of action or he has a bigger priority.
Put Bel outside of a fight that he's eager for or something he finds amusing, and you get a rather lazy and laid back prince. Each of the Varia are associated with one of the Seven Sins, and Belphegor's is appropriately enough Sloth. He won't usually go out of his way unless it's something he already wants to do or he thinks it'll benefit his amusement. (Also, apparently he's ranked 2nd in "messiest room" in the Mafia world, and that's saying something.)
Based on those traits shown, I can only assume that to the core, Belphegor is a lazy spoiled brat used to having the world handed to him on a silver platter and if not handed, he's ready to just take it by clever cruelty or force. He's not above fits of temper if riled enough. He'll resort to name-calling and throwing knives at teammates just because they say something to irritate him after all. And at the other end of the spectrum, if excited enough, he's shown maniacal bouts of glee even when it was quite possible he'd die from the situation.
In the end, Belphegor's rather simple and straight forward. He does what he wants simply because he wants to, and of course, because he's a prince.
[Specialties/Abilities]
Genius combat strategist: Bel's smart. Too smart really and as mentioned above, it makes him cocky and has earned him a reputation as a genius. He's sneaky and develops attacks and strategies that best suit his skills and strengths.
Knife and wire skills: Bel's weapons of choice are throwing knives that he can make appear as if they don't follow the laws of physics (though honestly, what in a shounen manga does?). He does this by having razor-sharp nearly invisible wires strung behind them that he can manipulate. Also, he can imbue the knives with his own Storm-class Dying Will flames, making them even more destructive.
Dying Will flames: Bel's flames are Storm-class, carrying the property of disintegration. They are highly offensive and destructive, even to other flames.
Box animal weapon: Visone Tempesta, aka Mink. This is Bel's box weapon. It's a mink whose fur carries storm flames that can disintegrate much of what they touch unless counter-acted with an equally as strong opposing flame to protect against them. It can also spin its tail to create a flame shield. Box animals in general feed off the flames of their owners to exist outside of their boxes, so it would be something Bel would have out when he felt like it, not constantly. (But then again, if he was bored, it'd be out an awful lot, wouldn't it?) Also, just a note, it's personality takes quite a bit after its owners, being haughty and prone to a small laugh that sounds an awful lot like Bel's, as well as sporting a similar mop of fur on the top of its head.
Further details can be found on the wikia link under abilities, but that's the gist of it.
[Affection] Bel stands close to others and pats shoulders and puts his arm around shoulders without concern or hesitating, so I'm going to say he doesn't mind touching. But beware invading his space if he's in a bad mood or lost it... As for emotionally? Bel's kind of an ass to anyone and everyone, it's just a matter of degrees.
[Fighting] Bel will most certainly provoke people into fighting if that's what he feels like doing. However he has no problem retreating from a fight he doesn't want or losing interest in. He's a rather strong fighter due his strategies and weapons and once he's wound up, pain does not seem to be a deterrent or obstacle at all. I'm all for fights, injuries and hell even death, as long as all of it is discussed and planned between all involved.

Can telepathic characters read your character's mind? Sure, but you may want to poke me to find out because Bel's a bit odd upstairs. Same goes for any empaths or emotional-readers.
How much can fourth wall breakers say? As much as you like, what does the Prince care?
Be as intrusive as you dare with this one, just know he may have a mixed reaction to it ♥
[Other Facts] Um! I never know what to put here! Bel can pull of a convincing girl (oh so canon), enjoys sushi, and misses his chibi.... Though he'd not easily admit that aloud. He actually will likely miss everyone (but Levi, poor idiot Levi) since he's been with the Varia since he was a kid.
