GENERAL

Name: Tengen Toppa
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Birthday: April 14th
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Lineage: Musashi's Descent

PERSONALITY

Toppa is clever, but not always wise nor rational. The mage is quick of wit and sharp of tongue, with a subtle charisma and a genial smile. With a penchant for shows of excess and promiscuity.

At face value, Toppa presents himself as a shameless alcoholic and hedonist, with simple desires and base lusts. Playful and aggressive, with little to no regard for sense of personal space or appropriate contact, he is quick to polarize anyone that meets him at first glance. In truth however, he is solemn and guarded. Bitter and angry from loss, and coping by way of self-destructive behavior.

When not drinking himself to sleep as a means to escape reality, Toppa possesses a very clear set of goals that he aims to achieve while adjusting to his new life; cure his curse, regain his heritage, destroy those who have wronged him. He makes very little concern for how he personally is actually perceived so long as he is able to achieve those goals. And most likely will make very little consideration for those who stand in the way of them as well.

As a former son of a noble who has experienced disgrace, experience has gifted him great belief in himself and cursed him with a severe arrogance. He prides himself on generally being more observant than others, but at the same time quickly feels terrible shame and significant self-criticism for failing to live up to his own expectations.

Once a dedicated, astute and able politician, having lost everything that he once possessed, and a glimpse of his own mortality, has given Toppa some pause as to the future of his life.

Toppa is ultimately in the process of rebuilding his psychological identity from the ground up. While he is developing his own sense of his new position in the world, Toppa is slowly beginning to understand the great scope of what it means to have good will and to be of good character.


Likes:

• Materialism: Toppa is a great purveyor of consumption and excess as a means of therapy. This extends also to his partners, whom he enjoys dressing in fine furs, skimpy clothes and accessories in rare metals and precious stones. It is no wonder then that many of his previous partners have been arm candy gold diggers as a result.
  
  
• Risk-taking: As fuel for self-destructive behaviour, Toppa enjoys testing the limits of what he can and cannot do. In most cases, his innocuous looks and sharp wits are able to get him out of sticky situations, sometimes at the misfortune of others.
  
  
• Hedonism: Coloquially known as 'turning up', Toppa enjoys sedating himself with his two lovers, sex and alcohol. While this is in part a defense mechanism for his insecurities, it has also turned into a first instinct for the young mage.
  

Dislikes:

• Sloppiness: Perhaps the irony of portraying oneself is a party going lecher is that no one expects Toppa to be impossibly meticulous and thorough. He dislikes any kind of mistake made that was made without any kind of forethought.
  
  
• Small talk: While fully capable of speaking to someone on casual terms as a first conversation, small talk quickly turns dry and boring for Toppa. When speaking, Toppa speaks with direct intention, as are his actions, and as such, he quickly grows tired of vapid conversation that goes around in circles.
  
  
• Prudence: While Toppa often is quite cautious in nature, he spits on the idea of prudence when it comes to relationships. Things move quick as lightning and burn like a wildfire until both parties are singed to crisps, whereupon the cycle starts once again by both parties.
  
  

Motivations:

• Absolution: Above all else, Toppa desires to reclaim the fortunes, prestige and privileges he has lost from the destruction of his former life.
  
  
• Egotistical Acknowledgment: Toppa believes that the acquisition of social status and self-gratification from the largest amount of people possible will allow him to feel catharsis from his own insecurities. It has not worked, so far.
  
  
• Self-identity: Toppa is young and inexperienced with his own emotions and identity. His early formative years were marred by constant politics, thus he is still attempting to scramble through his life trying to find his place in society.
  

Fears:

• Failure: Toppa, above all, depsises the idea of being seen as helpless or unable to live up to a task. He views himself as highly successful and thoroughly capable, irresistable and competent, as a means to hide his inability to view or accept who he is.
  
  
• Reliance: Similar to how he dislikes the idea of being seen as weak or helpless, he also dislikes the idea of being unable to perform something by himself, and instead rely on those who may or may not be willing to help.
  
  
• Catastrophe: Having experienced the chaos of having everything he had once known to be thrown into question, Toppa dreads the feeling of not knowing what the future holds. As a result, he is incredibly meticulous and thorough when it comes to his life and progression. Everything needs to be in their place, and a slight deviation often makes Toppa uncomfortable.
  

APPEARANCE

Height: 5'10"
Weight: 152 lbs
Hair: Raven Black
Eyes: Red.
Skin Tone: Alabaster

Appearance: Toppa possesses an innocuous demeanour with boyish features, unkempt black hair and sharp features. With his glasses, he is able to blend into the crowd with little to no effort, but possesses an intense gaze and a change in persona when he removes them.

Guild: Fairy Tail
Tattoo: Right Forearm, Deep Red

GENERAL

Name: Flint Vandergrift
Gender: Male
Age: 44
Birthday: October 9th
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Lineage: Musashi's Descent

PERSONALITY

Focused and generally earnest, Flint possesses a deep sense of humanity and principle based primarily on a need to maintain stability, survival, and inner peace. As an ex-convict and a former mercenary for hire, Flint's life has been shaped around the idea of war and battle, and he struggles often with the difficulty of adjusting back into normal life. Despite this, Flint has a genuine desire to settle back into a 'simple life', despite having no clue what exactly that means.

Flint is careful, methodical, and leaves nothing to chance, and is quick to anger or defend whenever one of these subjects are broached. His large physical appearance and his past greatly mar first impressions of him, as many find him both intimidating and thoroughly unapproachable. Though his exterior is often hard and seemingly implacable, Flint is genuinely a decent man who possesses a great deal of insecurity in regards to both being able to hold regular conversations and maintain a connection with others, not for lack of trying. This in turn, causes the world to generally misunderstand Flint as a hard, uncompromising man as he closes his heart to the outer world.

More often than not, Flint does not understand his own personal emotions, nor how to handle them in a constructive manner. A lifetime of horrible experienced, both lived in and second hand, has jaded the man to become a survivalist cynic. His inability to handle his own emotions forces him to run away from his problems, to attempt to escape his past by ignoring it.

Likes:

• Work: Flint is a natural workhorse, it is how he handles himself and composes his identity. Without work Flint is uncomfortable. He often sets his own targets, finds his own hobbies, anything to keep him on the busy unless he's on rest. This urgency is developed also primarily for a need to recoup the time he lost in prison.
  
  
• Depended On: Flint's natural sense of self-worth is also tied primarily on his ability to help others. He likes being the person that others fall to when things don't go their way, he is stable and hard, and in most situations he is able to handle himself. As a result, being depended on grants him a degree of comfort and humanity he is otherwise unable to obtain.
  
  
• Connecting: While a true connection is hard, and rare for the giant. Flint nevertheless seeks one. He has a great deal that is placed on his shoulders, and having the ability to share a space of safety and trust with another person is something he values. He is deeply loyal to those who he manages to broach the distance with.
  

Dislikes:

• Sloppiness: Flint is impossibly meticulous and thorough. He dislikes any kind of mistake made that was made without any kind of forethought.
  
  
• Small talk: When speaking, Flint speaks with direct intention, as are his actions, and as such, he quickly grows tired of vapid conversation that goes around in circles.
  
  
• The Past: Flint is definitively, and ultimately defined by his fear of repeated mistakes. Any mention of his past is a quick way to immediately get Flint to raise his barriers.
  
  

Motivations:

• Absolution: Above all else, Flint desires redemption and a second chance in life, and to be able to forget or forgive his prior actions.
  
  
• Stability: Flint wants peace, and a place to secure his own shelter. Having spent an entire life in turmoil, and having internalized that conflict, he wants to break apart the destructive behaviours that set him and be able to re-integrate into society in a practical way.
  
  
• Respect: Flint does not want to die as a criminal, forgotten and despised. A part of his motivation stems from the fear of being remembered for his worst sins, and he desires to change the narrative for people to remember him as a good, well-respected individual.
  

Fears:

• Failure: Flint above all, despises the idea of being seen as helpless or unable to live up to a task. He views himself as highly successful and thoroughly capable, irresistible and competent, as a means to hide his inability to view or accept who he is.
  
  
• Reliance: Similar to how he dislikes the idea of being seen as weak or helpless, he also dislikes the idea of being unable to perform something by himself, and instead rely on those who may or may not be willing to help.
  
  
• Catastrophe: Having experienced the chaos of having everything he had once known to be thrown into question, Flint dreads the feeling of not knowing what the future holds. As a result, he is incredibly meticulous and thorough when it comes to his life and progression. Everything needs to be in their place, and a slight deviation often makes Flint uncomfortable.
  

APPEARANCE

Height: 6'5"
Weight: 230 lbs
Hair: Raven Black
Eyes: Dark Brown.
Skin Tone: Tanned

Appearance: Flint is a large, muscular man with has dense, black hair and steel blue eyes. He has a handsome face of masculine features, often decked with a dense, coarse beard that is barely shaved. Though he is getting on in his years, age has not dulled his physical body nor flecked his hair with grey. Flint's body is scattered with scars and injuries, indicating a lifetime that knew little of comfort as bit and pieces were slowly taken from him over time. Of not, a single gouge in the hip area which has made a dent in the bone, indicting a deep and most likely fatal cut had he not received immediate medical attention.
