ouji_dakara[Player name] Yuriko
[Age] 29
[Personal Journal]chiba_yuriko
[Other characters currently played] Kurogane / Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle /souhi_no_arashi
[Character name] Belphegor
[Age] 26
[Canon] Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
[Point in time 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)
[Background]
Bel's Background
Additionally! I would also like Belphegor to retain his memories of his last time in Somarium. Please let me know if this is allowed despite the fact that there was technically another player playing him in between (though they never posted or tagged). If I am allowed this, please let me know if you need background of his time while in Somarium (he was there about a year) and I'd be happy to provide it. (Spoiler: It is mostly trolling other people, gaining and losing some friends, and losing his shit once though he still thankfully managed to not kill anyone.)
[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 (how much earlier than that is unclear as he joined the Varia sometime between killing his brother and the Ring Battles). 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.
[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 I think I covered the gist of it all.
[Other important stuff] He likes SUSHI~ (Apparently that is indeed important enough to warrant being called "important stuff")
[Sample post]
[First Person - assuming he keeps his memories]
[Somehow...this didn't seem right. And it shows all over the assassin's face in the slightly downturned lips as opposed to his trademark smile.]
Did someone want to tell the Prince why it's a month backwards in time, but a year ahead? Because I don't think that's a very funny trick. And if someone tells me I took that long of a nap, I wouldn't want to be them, let's put it like that~ [And it's clear that he means business because he's idly twirling a sharpened knife between his long fingers.
He sighs dramatically and finally puts on a grin.] Unless of course I got sent away and Somarium decided it really couldn't do without me and dragged me back here. I can't say I blame it, but hasn't someone found a way home yet because I really was in the middle of something.
Maybe I'll even be so generous as to gift such genius with something. Dunno what yet, but how can you go wrong with a royal gift, huh?
So someone give me some good news. I'm waiiiting~
[He almost looks as if he's going to hang up but then pauses, tilting his head.] I will admit there has been ONE improvement at least. Yo, Boss~! Where you crashing at?
[And with that, he does end the broadcast.]
[Third Person]
It wasn't often that Belphegor felt something akin to regret or even longing but right now, staring up at what used to be the estate he called home here in this boring little dinky dream town? He felt just that. Not that he couldn't call just about any place home or find something suitable to his tastes otherwise, but...
There had been something about the overly large manor that he'd been rather attached to. He gave a soft huff before turning on heel and marching down the streets of Espoir to head into the city. Not only did he apparently miss quite a bit of excitement, but this place had to drag him back and STILL sans his companions? Sure having Xanxus there was an exponential improvement, but still. Hmph. Poor taste, Somarium. You could at least give him a bit more to work with.
It didn't take long for him to find an outlet though for his frustrations, on his way out, passing a field were a host of aggressive and very unfortunate scarecrows.
For any who happen to pass by, they'll find a outright slaughter of straw men. Some were in burned remains, some had been sliced in half, and there were a bunch of them currently in a circle around the blonde, trapped in place by a web of wires as he laughed unsettlingly, the ring on his finger flaming a bright and unnatural crimson color.
Care to join him? Stop him? May want to think twice, the scarecrows probably wished they had. But it was better them than the other residents he figured, right? At least for now~
[Why do you want to play this character in Somarium?] I miss playing this crazy and the KHR cast are horrible enablers.
[Which rule was your favorite and why?] Still "Be Nice To Other Players"
[Where did you hear about Somarium?] Been here a reaaaaaally long time now. (Originally from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

[Any questions?] Just want to make sure whether or not he can keep his memories of Som~
