[Point in time taken from canon] After first series Kapitel
[Background]
Canon background information is rather little to nonexistent prior to the beginning of the series. It is known that at one point Schuldig went to a version of Xavier’s School for the Gifted named Rosenkreuz. Unlike the ideals that Xavier’s school was founded on, Rosenkreuz trained its talented little students to become the loyal little followers of a group known as Eszett.
As the telepathic member of a four-man team known as Schwarz, Schuldig works as a bodyguard for one Reiji Takatori a political wannabe who views himself as the savior of Japan. It is to this end that Takatori believes he is using both Schwarz and the powerful backing of Eszett; however, the opposite is true. Schwarz acts on behalf of Takatori, causing panic and general disorder in the background that allows him to appear to be the greater good and become elected as Prime Minister of Japan. All of this brings Schwarz into the sights of another group called Weiss, a vigilante group that works to defeat the evil in the world.
Now, once Takatori was elected he, in the mistaken belief that Schwarz is no longer needed or is trustworthy, puts them under surveillance. It is only once Weiss comes to avenge the wrongs that Takatori has unleashed upon the world that he comes begging Schwarz to save him, it is then discovered they never really worked for him but were using him for their own purposes.
The real purpose behind Schwarz’s work in Japan was the creation of a general zone of chaos in order to bring about the plans of Eszett. The goal of the leaders of Eszett, a group of three referred to as The Elders was to raise a demon to help them rule the world and live forever. Schwarz were in Japan to make sure everything went smoothly for the demon-summoning ritual. The key to this whole plan was one Aya Fujimiya, a young girl who had not aged a day in the years since the accident that put her in a coma. There was one big problem standing in their way however, her older brother and his teammates-also known as Weiss.
Now along the way to this ceremony there were a few issues, the first being that a third group, Schrient, had the Fujimiya girl. This was not too much of a problem however as Weiss affectively took out three of the four members leaving the last to be killed by Schwarz. The next issue was Weiss themselves; however, while it is certain Weiss was against the plans of Eszett, it is also uncertain how much Weiss counted into the plans of Schwarz. Because, while it might have appeared that Schwarz were the loyal lackeys The Elders expected them to be, there were other plans going on in the background.
Substituting another girl for the comatose Aya, Schwarz effectively destroys the original plans for the new world order of Eszett. Weiss then came along and finished the job by killing two of the three Elders-Schwarz killed the third after admitting they preferred the idea of chaos and anarchy to the leadership of anyone else, after all they are powerful enough to survive to rule themselves. Eventually there was a great fight between Weiss and Schwarz with neither team coming out in the lead until the building they were in came crashing down around their heads leading everyone to believe both teams dead. .
[Personality]
While some might say Schuldig is a sadist, he more typically personifies the psychopathic personality. He is a predator who feels little to no remorse or regret over his actions. Other people are only useful for meeting his desires, or they are of no interest at all.
Out of the twenty most highly researched and recognized characteristics of psychopathic personality and behavior, Schuldig shows signs of at least thirteen. It is possible he actually presents all twenty except for the lack of early childhood information. Schuldig demonstrates most of these traits when dealing with Sakura Tomoe. Through careful manipulation of both the truth and Miss Tomoe’s emotions, Schuldig nearly gets the girl to eliminate Aya. The question can be brought up whether or not it was her love of Aya that kept her from shooting him or Schuldig’s impatience and not taking enough time to completely hook her that caused the failure.
One of the biggest factors to this psychopathic personality is the ability to hide or blend in with those who are normal. Under the right circumstances, with the right motivation he can appear to be just like everyone else, it is only when he wants to reveal it does the truth come out and then it’s usually because it is cruelest to do so.
It can be oddly noted that out of the eight assassin characters in the series, Schuldig is one of the only ones who never personally kills anyone on screen; although, he is responsible for the circumstances that lead to more than one death. This seems to prove the point that he enjoys the manipulation of others more than getting his own hands dirty.
[Abilities]
Schuldig is a high-level telepath capable of reading anyone who isn’t trained to shield their thoughts. A general permissions post will go up to cover this along with any questions.
[Other important stuff] Can't think of anything.
[Sample post]
[First Person]
If I offered to save your soul for a price, would you go with it and why?
Sorry, but my soul was sold to the highest bidder a long time ago. Never had much use for it then, don’t see any use for it now.
Do you stand up against authority, go against all odds, and if you could, pierce the heavens with your fighting spirit? If not, would you if you could?
Ha, I think you’ve got it wrong; Farf’s the one who wants to tear down Heaven. I couldn’t care less. However, the general idea of tearing down authority? Yeah, I’ve done it. Would do it again, even without knowing if I’d survive or not. I prefer holding the leash to being choked by the collar.
Would you consider yourself a hero or a villain? Why? Neither is an option as well, but still tell why.
I’m the Villain, with a capital v. Why? Stupid question, but…the villains have more fun. Heroes run around having to save people, doing good deeds, and generally being stupid; I’d rather be free to do what I want than worry over the greater good or whatever crap they’re trying to pass off.
Murder. What is your opinion?
Who do you want dead and what do I get out of it?
You're asked to take someone out for a date. Do you agree? If so, describe what you would do. If not, tell why.
Asked, by who? Are they paying me? If not, why the hell would I do something so stupid? Unless of course, it was for “the greater good.” Oh wait, I don’t believe in that shit. So, no.
You're dirt poor and your family is starving. You have a chance to steal bread. Do you: a) ignore it and get a job, b) steal it anyway because you know you won't get caught, c) get caught but break out of prison anyway, d) steal it and then hide from the creepy cop that keeps stalking you, e) don't steal because stealing is wrong :(. Explain why you chose that option.
Number one, I’m not stealing bread. If I’m going to do it, and yes I would because I could get away with it, I’m going for the good shit. I could walk out with half the damn store if I wanted to, but it would be more fun to get it all. Have the storeowner and all the little people working there carrying it home for me.
[Third Person]
Sleeping Beauty--she is not, not really in his opinion. The girl is sleeping but for all intensive purposes, for his purposes, she might as well be dead. He would share the story, the original one, with Nagi but he already knows how well that would go over. Farfarello would enjoy the story, especially the ending, but he was out doing other things.
Crawford had thought he meant to attempt the same to wake the Fujimiya girl, but Schuldig had set him straight on that idea. There is a definite preference for people to be awake, fully capable of kicking and screaming their pleasure or displeasure as the case may be, both mentally and physically-does not mean he’ll listen, just that he prefers to hear it. Although, there is a certain perverse pleasure in the idea of letting her dear big brother think what he will, telling the vigilant white knight of the many ways the attempt was made to wake the sleeping princess. How many nightmares would that produce until Fujimiya could prove otherwise?
That could be a lot of fun since Weiss torment has become one of his new favorite sports. Even if it is too easy most of the time or occasionally backfires like with Takatori’s little bastard.
As it is, he does not even believe it would be worth the attempt if someone wanted to. She is locked down so far within her own head until there is very little left to notice. Of course, if they were interested in trying to awake the girl it would be exciting to try to find the hidden spark under all of that mental dust. However, that is not part of the plan nor does it appear that waking the girl one way or another shall ever be part of the plan. Instead, he sits and watches her protecting their claim to the future this sleeping girl holds, and enjoys the silence of sleeping death while it lasts.
[Why do you want to play this character in Somarium?] there's a great cast here both for Weiss and many other series that I'd love to get a chance to play with
[Which rule was your favorite and why?] stay in character; too many times rl gets thrown into the mix & I prefer my rp to destress me from rl
[Where did you hear about Somarium?] current Weiss cast; well most of them
[Any questions?] I don't think so, but I'll let you know if that changes.
