Character: Mewtwo
Series: Pokémon (anime/movies)
Character Age: ... a few years? Is a Pokémon clone.
Canon: Welcome to a world filled with monsters (aka Pokémon) of all shapes and sizes, and young children travel the land unsupervised to catch them in balls and pit them against each other in battle. Of course, it's not all fun and games to everyone, especially when some greedy scientists and a megalomaniac get a hold of the DNA of a rare and powerful Pokémon... and naturally decide to try to make an even more powerful clone.
Artificially created, used as a tool, and ultimately betrayed, Mewtwo is one big bundle of existential angst and questions about his purpose in life. Though he managed to learn an Important Lesson about the value of life thanks to a certain young Pokémon trainer, Mewtwo still seeks the answer to where a clone like him fits into the world. Intelligent and coolly analytical, he's often prone to lengthy, angst-ridden internal monologues that would do Hamlet proud. Though his distrust in humanity has yet to be completely abated, he has a certain compassion towards those he sees as being similar to himself.
Sample Post:
Where... am I?
This is not the same. I was somewhere... a city? A forest? Certainly not a fetid swamp. This stench is overwhelming; I must not let it interfere with my ability to think clearly. Now then. It seems I am within some kind of force field, one of a magnitude such as even I have never seen before. A defensive barrier? Or perhaps a prison? Ah, that's right. I was deceived and tricked into coming here, and when I attempted to leave... To think they could trap me like some specimen to be experimented on! I will not be kept like a bird in a cage for the observation and amusement of others.
But first, what of this place? There is something nearby, though it does not match anything I have ever seen. What could they be? They appear to amble about aimlessly, though their very flesh rots from them. Are these yet more "specimens" lured and trapped here by the proprietor of this place? No, it cannot be but the deliberate work of that same one who created this place.
These creatures... I do not know that I can call them either Human or Pokémon, but something else, something created from some horrifying transgression against nature itself. Neither living nor dead, they seem to exist solely to torment and be tormented. What manner of hideously twisted mind could conceive of such a thing, let alone bring it into existence? Is this the true depths of the depravity of human kind?
Such pitiful beings, shambling about with no sense of self or purpose. Perhaps it would be only merciful to merely end their existence. Ah, but who am I to decide their fate for them? Meaningless though it may seem, they still struggle to continue to exist, such as they are. Would it be a kindness to end their misery, or would such an act be no better than the one who made them as they are? For I will not lower myself to the level of those who commit such despicable deeds.
But wait, there is something else here. Something with a power like mine... another psychic Pokémon? No... not one, many. I can feel them now, playing at the edge of my mind as though trying to slip into my thoughts. Is this a game to them? These ideas they try to impose, suggesting if perhaps I would just wear this for a moment, it would go so well with... No! These are not my thoughts! I will not give in to their nonsense. No, I will not do it, not even if they claim it to be my namesake. My name... my name is Mewtwo, not Mewtutu!]
