[Character Name] Carl Clover
[Canon] BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger
[Point Taken from Canon] On his way during the story path where he chooses to go after Noel Vermillion's Nox Nyctores. After meeting and entertaining Rachel, she teleports him away.
[Age] I'm going with 10.
[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)

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, referred to as Ars Magus or Armagus. He's also a bit of a bookworm and is quite chess-savvy. He has an appreciation for 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.

[Other Permissions]
Fourth Wall: No, please. But you can however reference other series (like Full Metal Alchemist) that sounds eerily similar. Besides, he wouldn't believe you anyway Konata.
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
bloomtrigger 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 and lamp posts. ... I'm not even kidding. Honest to god, he can talk to mailboxes and lamp posts with his glasses.
He doesn't like getting treated for wounds either. He IS a kid, after all.
