How am I doing with Henry? Am I going too far with his horribleness, or not far enough? Is my character interpretation falling apart in places? Are you disappointed with the quality/quantity of puns? Please leave all questions, comments, and concerns here, or shoot me a PM if you want to talk in private. I can also be found through the following addresses:

CHARACTER INFO

Name: Henry
Canon: Fire Emblem: Awakening
Age: 17, though he acts more like he's twelve
Appearance: Look at this shitbird.
Dorm Room: Witch House 3B

STAND INFO

Name: Werewolves of London
Power: This is a very close-range Stand that makes a fearsome opponent. It has the power to create/solidify/manipulate blood — but more intriguingly, it's able to bestow this ability upon its user. Henry must taste someone's blood before he can use it.
Appearance: Height: 6'7" (Henry is 5'2"). Basically what you'd expect from a large, muscular werewolf. Its face is a mask similar to this one, though with a more wolf-like structure. Its fur is a shade of brown that almost looks purple in the proper lighting. Its paws and claws are disproportionately large for optimal shredding/tearing/internal-organ-ripping applications.

Destructive Power: A

Speed: B

Range: F [4 meters from Henry]

Durability: B

Precision: C

Development Potential: B

PLAYER INFO

Name: [YOUR NAME]

Availability: [when you are generally around to play]
Permissions: [Any OOC permissions info you want to include! Things you definitely don't want to play, things you definitely want to be contacted for, etc.]

[When the video turns on, viewers are presented with a Henry surrounded by leaves, with the summer sun peeking in through the branches -- seems he's decided to climb a tree for this broadcast, or maybe he was just chilling here anyway. In either case, the expression on his face is uncharacteristically somber.]

Heya. So... this is going to be, like, Serious Business Time. [He glances off somewhere into the foliage. Honestly, it seems like he's not totally comfortable with the idea of Serious Business Time himself.] I've been kinda mulling stuff over, and I wanna hear all your responses! [The smile flickers back for a couple of seconds, but it's gone just as fast.]

What do you think makes someone a bad person? I mean, just for you, like I said. ...Traits or whatever are fine.

…

Yep.

[And that’s how the video ends.]

...Hey-o, World of Pokémon. Guess who it is!

[It's been a while since anyone's seen this sorry mug on their Pokégear. A young looking boy (no older then seventeen) is beaming widely at the screen, wearing what appears to be a light hoodie; there's a Ninetales leaning her head on his shoulder, staring lazily at the camera. Perhaps it's odd to wear such a thing in summer -- but hey, compared to Plegia, evenings here are freezing cold.]

If you've got no idea who I am, or you just have no talon-t for remembering faces, my name's Henry. You should probably run while you still can. Nya ha ha! [There's a short pause as the Ninetales stirs and blinks grumpily; Henry immediately falls silent, looking down at her. A moment later he's back to his buoyant self.] Anyway, some weird stuff has happened, and I was wondering if any of you veteran dimension-hoppers could help me out here.

Or, well, even if you're not a veteran dimension-hopper, you can help me out here. If anyone's seen a Murkrow, Inkay, or Phantump -- they answer to [he counts off his fingers] Cawdia, Glowgan, and Eleanor -- then please let me know where they are! I mean, they're probably fine back out in the wild where they belong, but still. [His expression takes on a faint shadow of concern.] Especially Cawdia. I don't know how long I've been away, but she's still really young and probably doesn't have anyone looking after her, so...

...Anyway! [Just like that the shadow is gone, and Henry visibly perks up again.] Last time I checked, it was February. Like, middle of winter. And now I wake up and all of a sudden it's June! I only have 3000 Poké! And all my items are gone, my Brightpowder and the cape I stole from Lance and everything! So, like, is that a documented Thing? Did I accidentally re-weave causality and compromise the structural integrity of the temporospatial continuum?

'Cause if I did, hate to break it to you, but I think we're all gonna die. See ya!

[And just like that, the weird message is over.]

A Tale of Six Trillion Years and a Night (kemu, IA)

In an unknown village in an unknown era
in an unknown town lived an unknown young boy;
known to none, this is his faerie tale

Since the time that I was born
I was treated like a demon child;
as if forsaken, I received punishment

I've never had anything to be sad about,
but into the sunset, I was led away...

Swallowed Whole (Pearl Jam)

I can feel the sun, I can see the sound, I can set myself right here and drown
I can feel the rush, I could clear the clouds, I could set the needles spinning loud
I can hear the crash, I can feel the pound, I can feel the current pulling down

Whispered songs inside the wind, breathing in forgiveness
Like vibrations with no end, feel the planet humming
What is clear far from the noise, gets swallowed whole...

When You're Evil (Voltaire)

I pledge my allegiance to all things dark, and I promise on my damned soul to do as I am told
Lord Beelzebub has never seen a soldier quite like me
Not only does his job, but does it happily

And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil, and I do it all for free;
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need.

...It gets so lonely being evil
What I'd do to see a smile, even for a little while
And no one loves you when you're evil...
--I'm lying though my teeth! Your tears are all the company I need!

Imagination Forest (Jin, IA)

The summer breeze knocks,
And when I open up the window,
I hear the chirps of birds wandering from afar

I put a half-read book aside,
And say with a smile, "Where did you come from?"
With my blindfold still on, three in the afternoon...

The world is surprisingly simple,
But it's me who's bizarre,
With complication which no one ever understands...

Outside the town, in the forest, in this house beyond people's notice...
Yes, that's why none ever come to visit.

[In the wake of the temporospatial shenanigans that Route has been experiencing over the past couple of days, a lot of people have been acting... peculiar. True to form, Henry consults much smarter people for the explanation.]

hey
why is everyone asking these weird questions all of a sudden?

[That's it. That's the post.]

public gear video - location unclear

Oh, hey! It did a thing!

[Two faces pop up on the screen, against a beautiful blue sky; the framing makes it clear that the Gear is on the ground, and neither of the two figures are making any attempt to frame their shot whatsoever. One is a young man who is smiling at his incredible achievement of turning on a Pokegear; the other is a rather exasperated-looking Vulpix. The latter reaches a paw out, puts it on the screen, and begins chittering to the human… who actually seems to understand.]

When the red light is on, it’s recording… okay, got it.

[The Vulpix squeaks again.]

“Say something”? Alright… [The young man rearranges his position in front of the Gear a little bit. One can see that he appears to be wearing purple-and-tan robes with really creepy eye designs on the collar.] Well, people in there, my name’s Henry and I’m from the country of Plegia! My interests include dark magic, nature walks, explosions, murders, explosions with murders— what?

[Henry looks down. The Vulpix can be heard screeching angrily, probably telling him to stop before he gets himself turned in to the police on day one. There is a short scuffle for control of the PokéGear; flashes of amber fur and claws can be seen, the audio becomes nothing but extremely staticky wooshes, and eventually the feed cuts out.]

action - goldenrod rocket hq

[Good morning, Goldenrod Rocket Base. How’s your day been so far? Woke up, stretched a bit, eaten breakfast? Picked up the cup of dirty water that passes for coffee in this joint? That’s good. Everything you’ve just done is normal, and in here, normalcy is a valuable commodity.]

[A commodity that won’t last for much longer, because Henry the dark mage has just woken up in the building.]

[This morning, yet another Grunt seems to have joined the ranks. It’s a young man who can’t be much older than twenty, with snow-white hair and a standard issue uniform. ...Well, “standard issue” except for the part where he has some kind of cape thrown over it. (Uniform regulations? What uniform regulations?) By his side, a Vulpix is walking and grumbling bitterly, and if one looks closely they might see a Murkrow making herself comfortable in the Grunt’s collar.]

[He’s also going around touching things. The walls, the furniture, his Pokemon, your face…]

Ooh, your skin feels nice! It’s super soft!

[Look, just bear with him. He hasn’t had a working sense of touch for quite a few years.]

(art cred)

"Hi, you've reached Henry, I guess! I have literally no idea how to use this thing, so if I never actually respond, it's probably because I don't know how! ...Or I set it on fire. Hmm. Maybe I really should set it on fire--"

NAME: Henry
SERIES: Fire Emblem: Awakening
Status: Stand user, conscripted

[OOC]
Alright, here's the deal: Henry loves war. He loves violence. He loves ripping out arms, lopping off heads, exploding fingers, and turning blood to acid. His "happy place" is eradicating entire swathes of soldiers with a few well-timed, massively dangerous spells. Long story short-- he's messed up.

If a subject is strange, gruesome, taboo, or otherwise unacceptable in polite conversation, there's a chance Henry will bring it up. Context can vary; he may be just talking about the dark, warm, loving embrace of death in an abstract sense, or he may casually contemplate what would happen if he made his own hand explode. I will try to avoid commonly triggering topics, but if there are any particular aspects of body horror that you aren't much fond of, tell me and I'll make Henry steer clear.

Basically, I know Henry is a really troublesome character sometimes, and upsetting other players is literally the last thing that I want to do. So if you're uncomfortable with anything I outlined above (or, well, anything torture or horror related in general), please tell me!

--

Backtagging: I will happily backtag into forever.
Threadhopping: Please ask, but I'll probably say yes.
Fourthwalling: Go for it. Henry doesn't care, and I don't either.
Offensive subjects (elaborate): I'm more likely to be causing the offense than the other way around, but avoidance of eye or finger/toenail grossness would be appreciated.

[IC]

Hugging this character: Henry loves hugs.
Kissing this character: He's very unskilled, but he will shrug and roll with it.
Flirting with this character: His idea of flirtation is loud promises to slaughter anyone who stands in his beloved's path, so if you're feeling up to that, go for it.
Fighting with this character: Yay, blood!
Injuring this character: Again-- yay, blood! Just gimme a shout so we can plot the severity appropriately.
Killing this character: It hurts... so nice... Again, contact me in advance.
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Go for it. Henry is a creature of simple pleasures, and he always speaks his mind; contact me if you want to mind-read.
