Character
Name: Shelly de Killer (#F778A1)
Series: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Timeline: Just after the end of JFA.
Canon Resource Links: Well, let's seeee... Here is his page on the AA Wiki, here is his profile on Court Records, TVTropes (where he should be listed under "Witnesses and Other Characters) and... well, there's this terrible post in my personal LJ that is mostly composed of headcanon, b-but I want to pretend it's worth something.
Affiliation: Trainer
Personality: Really, Shelly is a nice guy. It's just that he happens to kill people for a living. One thing that is clear is that he does not commit murder to satisfy any sadistic desires - he treats it as nothing more than a job, a job that he takes very, very seriously. He takes pride in his efficiency - the De Killer name has a great amount of professionalism associated with it, and he intends to keep it that way.
… That said, yes, he kills people for a living and he does it without remorse. Regardless, he does have a set of morals that he follows at all times, skewed as they may be: he kills only those he was assigned to kill (or, in some necessary cases, in self-defence) and most importantly, he only works with clients with whom he has a relationship of complete, mutual trust. Usually, things go just nice and dandy this way - the one poor bastard who decided to lie to him and had plans to blackmail him is currently in a jail cell crying himself to sleep every night in fear of not waking up the next morning.
In many ways, it seems as if Shelly’s personality was shaped by his job. He is, in all aspects of his life, serious and professional, with an attitude treading a strangely fine line between tender warmth and detached cold. This means that typically, when socializing in situations outside of his professional life (which rarely happens), he has some difficulty knowing how to act (presumably because of his trouble relating to most normal people out there). He had always been timid, and over years of loneliness and all that his profession entails, this took a turn into deeply-rooted social awkwardness.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Shelly is surprisingly fit for a guy who must be around his 50s - this, of course, is also due to his job. He’s skilled with weapons of all sorts: firearms, blades, the classic piano wire… Good thing he’ll get those taken away, eh? He still has his hands, though. Goodness, he’ll be so bamboozled when he finds out people don’t die in this world. He’s also strangely amiable, which is quite an advantage for a guy with a job like his.
Sadly, his age is starting to show and while he IS fit, he’s not quite what he used to be. His back is particularly vulnerable to acting up at the worst possible moments, though thankfully for his pride, it hasn’t happened yet. YET. Oh, and he’s a bad liar. God only knows how he gets by undetected with his unusual hair, monocle and STITCHES DOWN HIS FREAKING FACE, especially considering he thinks John Doe is a perfectly acceptable and likely alias, but hey, he’s got years of experience in his business. There’s probably some kind of trick to it.
Samples are here if you really want to read them.
PERMISSIONS
[OOC]
This is the permissions list for OOC (out of character), activity.
Answer the following questions with "yes" or "no", as well as additional information if desired.
Backtagging: Sure.
Threadhopping: As long as it's justified, I don't mind at all.
Fourthwalling: I'm cool with it, but don't expect Shelly to take it well.
Offensive subjects (elaborate): I'm fine with just about everything, really.
[IC]
This is the permissions list for IC (in-character), activity.
Answer the following questions with "yes" or "no", as well as additional information if desired. With IC permissions, it's a good idea to elaborate on what other players can expect from your character if they choose to do any of the following:
Hugging this character: Sure, but he'll probably react awkwardly
Kissing this character: See above, with an added chance of painful backlash
Flirting with this character: Yes, but Shelly won't take it well.
Fighting with this character: Go ahead, but Shelly's a good fighter. Attack at your own risk.
Injuring this character (include limits and severity): I'm fine with anything, but I'd prefer it if you just asked me first.
Killing this character: People can't even die in this game, can they? In any case, uh... discuss it with me.
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Not really allowed in this game, but if it were, I'd be fine with it. You'd probably find a few mental barriers on your way though.
Warnings: Well, uh... Despite what you might think, Shelly's not really bloodthirsty or anything. I really can't think of anything, so if you notice me doing something that warrants a warning, just tell me about it here and I'll add it.
