[Character Name] Carl Clover
[Canon] BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger
[Point Taken from Canon] Taken from the ending of the route where the player loses against Taokaka at first, and thus is helped/patched up by Litchi. So assuming he fell asleep in her office before he could run away again... otherwise meaning he hasn't met Rachel yet.
[Age] I'm going with 11 for obvious reasons--he cannot possibly be older than 12, but no canonical age is given.
[Gender] Male
[Sexual Orientation] Sister-sexual Heterosexual. But he doesn't REALLY care/understand about that kind of thing, so don't expect anything more than admiration.
[Eye Color] Blue
[Hair Color] Blond
[Height] 4'9''. In detail, see below.
[Other] Uh, for detailed stuff? Here is his official bio:
Name: Carl Clover
Height: 144cm (or 4 feet and 8.69 inches.)
Weight: 35kg (or 77lbs)
Birthday: May 5th (5/5; note: Children's Day in Japan, Cinco de Mayo in Mexico.)
Nationality: Austrian
Bloodtype: AB (note: positive or negative is never stated. Also AB is a musical form in two sections, which I believe is a pun towards the fact he fights with Nirvana.).
Let's see... anything else? OH. He DOES get Mind Control Eyes when Nirvana is controlling him or when she is taken away.
[Clothing] She isn't a maid and he's not a magician!
Overview (with and without cloak/hat)
Him and Nirvana (again cloak and hatless)
Overview (full outfit)
Some sketches of Nirvana, if you need a better understanding of how she is/works.
[Background] BlazBlue's canon is complex and large with every timeloop canonically occurring, arcade mode/story mode branches all occurring, and MORE.
The shorter version is here. My headcanon/overview (which is REALLY EXTENSIVE) for Carl can be found here.
[Personality] To quote his official bio, "He seems to think like an adult and always carries out his duties effectively and efficiently. Ever courteous, Carl always has a smile on his face, even when he’s staring down a target."
Carl is your above-average-intelligence sort of boy. Really, all you need to do is beware of his psycho buttons. Otherwise, you're golden, and he GENERALLY won't kill you or hurt you... usually. Really, he's just a misguided kid with a sister complex and a heart in the wrong place. He treats most with respect and courtesy, and is always a gentleman, especially to the opposite gender, whom he's less likely to attack unless he has to.
If you want a TRULY extensive look, I have a large in-depth analysis here.
[Specialties/Abilities] Carl can control automatons or puppets (and Nirvana/his 'sister') using a form of magic that consumes a substance known as Seithr, dangerous to humans in large amounts. He is presumably proficient at using his Arses/spells (an Ars Magus is a spell or magic; Armagus is a fusion of technology and magic), so it's presumed where most people would use twenty units of seithr, he can use only ten, and so on. He can handle more for longer. He's also a bit of a bookworm and is quite chess-savvy, thus, is a boy genius. He has an appreciation for classical-type music, as well as a good understanding of its terms. His instrument of choice is the violin, and he plays it quite well despite his age.
See the wiki and his character overview for more info.
[Affection] Just about any. Please do not do anything sexual with him or expect me to RP it. First of all underage stuff is a squick of mine, and secondly, he's too young to get that sort of thing. Though, being the Cute Shotaro Boy he is, big sister types seem to adopt him without him even noticing... and that's fine. Really, just ask me first.
[Fighting] As he's from a game ABOUT fighting? YES TO EVERYTHING EVER. The only thing I ask is that you please ask me before you kill him. This is gonna get long, so I've broken it up for you if you honestly really care.

Please note Volante, a shadow ball large projectile Nirvana can fire from across the stage (think of it as a mass of dark energy) has since been added to Nirvana's repertoire, but I am still taking Carl from Calamity Trigger's storyline, and nothing else applies. I just decided to add it.
[Other Permissions]
Fourth Wall: UH SURE I... GUESS just don't SPOIL HIS STORYLINES TOO MUCH. Just mention it to me really~ Also feel free to reference Full Metal Alchemist. xD
Mind Reading: Sure. Just not too far. Also, tell me if your character can learn names and such--you'll learn the marionette's name is Nirvana (but don't call her that in front of Carl). Also only he can hear her, but mind-readers, I expect, will hear Nirvana's dialogue. Anything italicized for the entire sentence or [ in brackets is totally free game ] for you. Anything more you need to ask, though, please.
[Other Facts] He and Noel Vermillion, Jin Kisaragi, Tsubaki Yayaoi, and Makoto Nanaya were both students in the same Military Academy, which he dropped out of. His ostentatious eyeglasses glasses allow him to talk to inanimate objects, and are what let him hear Nirvana speak. What kinds of objects? Postboxes (or telephone booths?) and lamp posts. ... I'm not even kidding. Honest to god, he can talk to mailboxes and lamp posts with his glasses.
scarletonlooker, whiterequiem, lackinglady, and hungryvigilante are both from his world.
He doesn't like getting treated for wounds either. He IS a kid, after all. Oh, and he loves cookies, the chewy chocolate chip kind, but prefers the crunchy kinda hard ones because his sister has to clean them up. ... Sneaky and adorable all at once, somehow.
[Tropes] First of all, BlazBlue has it's own SPOILERIFIC TROPE PAGE, see that for the fuller list. Now, then.
Ax Crazy, Berserk Button (Nirvana), Break The Cutie, Creepy Child, Cute Shotaro Boy, Dissonant Serenity, Marionette Master (duh), and Cassandra Truth.
