Character name: Santa Claus
Fandom: Holidays
Timeline: Present
Age: Really old
~*Magical*~ abilities and strengths: He's fat and jolly and can fit down a zillion chimneys in one night and has the power of joy and happiness. He also has a magic flying sleigh, is immortal, is an excellent toymaker, and can talk to reindeer. Also owns a bag of holding, sorta. He also knows if you are sleeping, if you are awake, or if you have been bad or good.
How would they use their abilities?: To give all the good boys and girls gifts on Christmas morning.
Appearance: He has rosy cheeks and a tummy like a bowl full of jello. He has a white beard and wears a silly red hat and a red suit, both lined with white fur. He also wears a pair of black boots.
Background/Personality:
Here comes Santa Claus, Here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus Lane,
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Pullin' on the reins.
Bells are ringin', children singin',
All is merry and bright.
So hang your stockings and say your prayers,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.
He's a really jolly guy, and he's really nice. He doesn't like unhappiness so he is also forgiving to children who have been a little naughty. He is cheeky and friendly and laughs a lot. If one were to imagine someone's happy grandpa, that would be Santa Claus. He is always optimistic, caring, and just a very positive individual. He has no regard for diet, choosing to eat mostly milk and cookies and holiday-like feasts. He also likes fruit cake and hot chocolate with marshmallows. Very efficient, he can visit every single household with a child in it around any given planet within one night. In fact, if he can't come in through the chimney, he can leave a gift anyway, because he's magical.
Though he's had a long life, most if it is spent working to ensure that Christmas runs smoothly. He spent his childhood (in the late 1700s) with immortals and was very happy. Upon Ak* (the world's master woodsman) showing him unhappy children, he began to make toys for them and so the immortals he was living with decided to also make him immortal so he could continue making toys forever!! And not a lot else is known about him besides the fact that now that he looks like a jolly old fellow, it doesn't seem that he will ever age. Sometime in his life, he also got married to a Mrs. Claus and he gained eight of his nine reindeer.
This went on for a few Christmases until one year, when it was particularly foggy. A young reindeer named Rudolph, who had a shiny red nose, had previously been ostracized by the other reindeer because not everyone was as kind as Santa. But he chose Rudolph to not only be in his elite squad of reindeer, but also to lead them all. Rudolph, having done a fine job being headlights before headlights were invented (and one has to wonder how they did this every Christmas night without lights while everyone was sleeping...) was made to lead Santa's sleigh every year from then on.
In the 1820s, he moved to The North Pole, and in the 1930s, he began writing lists because it was too hard to remember all the children and who was getting what. Every Christmas, he gets on his sleigh and has his reindeer deliver him to the roofs of houses where he climbs through chimneys and leaves gifts. He also eats cookies and milk that people leave him. He believes in the miracle of giving and of spreading the joy and love all around, which is why Christmas is his patron holiday. Although there are other versions of "him" in other countries, the form known as "Santa Claus" with this image is mostly tied to the American view of Santa Claus, although he has no nationality and is a rather worldly figure. He is, in fact, so well beloved that he has versions in worlds that are not even Earth (such as Christmastown!)
He has a lot of love in his heart, and is usually synonymously mentioned with Christmas (in case you couldn't already tell.) There are quite a few songs about or mentioning him, and also seems to really like Coca Cola, as he has been pictured in quite a few of their advertisements over the years. Recently, he has been too busy to continue making these ads with the new influx of children around the globe, and has been replaced by his good friends, the polar bears.
*This is apparently from some book where someone thought it would be a good idea to novelize Santa's origins....?
Why should that character be in this game: For OCs only.
Why do you want to continue their history here: For characters from other games only.
For applicants considering an alternate version of a character already in game, please use this as your chance to explain the key differences between your character and the one already in play:
Have you read up on how the game works?: FlamingFerret. He will take a mission, take independent work, and not mooch off his friends or steal even though he can, in order to make enough money to get presents to everyone.
1st person sample: Now now, Mr. Vogon, I'm sure we can settle this without fighting. See? I've already filled out the red, blue, gold, spotted, ultraviolet and infradead forms, I--
--Oh, no, I don't need storage for the sack. It never gets any bigger than this you see, even when I put more things in it. Do I need to fill out paperwork if I'll keep it parked on my rooftop? I see, that is troublesome... I'll be right back with that form then.
[ He pulls something out of his pocket ]
This? This is just some paperwork of my own, you see. Right, there you are. Andrew Bartholomew Vogon IV. Ah, you've been a naughty boy this year, Andrew. It's not too late for you to do some good, you know...
3rd person sample: It is really difficult for him to work in these conditions, confined to this room in the deckswabbers and with no fireplace, no gingerbread and worst of all: no snow. He misses having all his elves walk around and go on their merry little way. The people on this ship - some of them have been very naughty indeed. But still, it is almost Christmas, and he has a duty to fulfill. He leans in closer and chips away at a wooden rocking horse.
He is interrupted by his guide ringing, and he wonders how in heavens it always comes to be that people will have accidental posts about the strangest things. But he turns it to silent - this is much better than his Blackberry at the North Pole and he is thinking of getting one of these when his planet is rebuilt - and looks back at his horse.
"I must be getting old," he ponders, because he can't seem to remember who this horse is even for. So he pulls out his list and then gives a knowing "ahh...." and sifts through his list, circling someone else who had wanted a rocking horse.
Going back, he dips his quill in ink again and crosses out the original recipient's name-- "Vegeta."
Questions?: CAN I KEEP THE SLEIGH, BAG O PRESENTS, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and Rudolf?
