Other Characters Played: Also currently apping for Vincent Phantomhive, but no characters currently in play.
Preferred Housing: If at all possible, I'd like him to be stuck with the Grell that's also currently apping, assuming we're both accepted. It's been talked over with the other player already.

Character Name: William T. Spears.
Character Series: Kuroshitsuji.
Character Age: Unknown; apparent age mid-twenties?
Background: Wiki!

Personality: Will presents as a stone-cold bastard. He seems to have little consideration for others, generally thinking only of himself, and adhering strictly to rules, regardless of the consequences. To some extent, this is true. His main concern is for his job, which he does with a chilly sort of efficiency. He hates to stray from the rules and holds a sharp distaste for others who do, as well as for those who slack off. He's always working hard, not because he enjoys it, as some might think, but because he hates working overtime. He prefers to keep his work and his free time distinctly separated, and that's very difficult to do when his work time keeps bleeding into the rest of his (rigid) schedule.

As a senior in the workplace, he expects his underlings to work just as hard as he does. He takes on as many responsibilities as he can manage, never more and never, ever less, and he takes them very seriously (as he takes most things — he's not the joking type). When the people around him fail to do the same, it frustrates him. He tends to feel that he's the only one pulling his weight. He has no qualms with insulting them and punishing them for their actions, sometimes violently. He has many more qualms with having to clean up their messes and apologize in their wake. Forcing him to pay for his coworkers' incompetence is a quick way to piss him off.

He's not the angry type, though — while easily irritated, it takes a monumentally concerted effort to actually anger him, and even then, he's the type to bottle it up, not voice his feelings. In emotional situations in general, he has a tendency to be shy and uncomfortable. Feelings aren't something he's well acquainted with (not, as rumour has it, because he has none, but) because he doesn't often express them openly. Practicality takes priority over emotion in his life; he keeps himself busy and he keeps his head above the emotional tides. He's a hard man to get close to because of this, but if you can manage it, you've won his loyalty for life.

Overall, he prefers to keep to himself and for others to do the same. Unfortunately, it's rare for that to actually work out for him. If he had his way, he would be surrounded by competent, polite and like-minded individuals who did their jobs as efficiently as he does his, and left him to his business while he left them to theirs. What he doesn't realize, however, is that if he had his way, he would be incredibly bored. The people around him put a spin on his life that he would probably sincerely miss if they went away.

Abilities: As a Death God, William has a number of abilities typical to the profession — above-average strength, speed and reflexes are only the beginning. His job is to supervise the deaths of humans, to investigate untimely deaths and those who escape their intended deaths, and to collect the souls of the dead to be judged. As such, he possesses a deathscythe, the standard tool of the Death Gods, used to release a human's Cinematic Record, a record of their life on Earth. His deathscythe (is not an ability, but will be taken upon his arrival, so I thought it relevant) is a standard model: a polearm-like weapon with clipper blades on either end, and the ability to extend its length over great distances.

Sample Entry: [ There is a slight clearing-of-throat before he speaks. You can almost envision him adjusting his tie. ]

I've had many suggestions to become a teacher, however, I would rather avoid working with children if at all possible. Schools full of these... hiveminded creatures in miniature might be bearable, but I suspect that the arrivals from elsewhere also attend school, where appropriate. I'm sure they're less bearable.

In lieu of that, I'm considering becoming a librarian. It's not as if it would be much different from being a Death God. I spent more time shelving records than reaping souls, most days. If not, perhaps a banker — the pay is better; something to consider.

Is there anyone with any experience in these positions here at Mayfield? I've a feeling that they're not precisely the same here as anywhere else.

Character Name: Vincent Phantomhive.
Character Series: Kuroshitsuji.
Character Age: 38.
Background: Wiki. Disregard the 'Anime Synopsis' section; I'm pulling him from the manga.

Personality: Vincent Phantomhive is known to most to be a generous, good-humoured and amiable man. He's noted for his abundant kindness, his consideration for others, and, at the same time, the darker aspects of his life. Vincent Phantomhive, like his father before him, is known as the 'guard dog' to Queen Victoria of England. On her orders, he will carry out 'morally grey' operations without question and without fail, and he has taken and ruined many lives in the course of his work for Her Majesty. It's something that, with his bleeding heart, he mourns every day, but not something that he has ever regretted. He takes immense pride in what he does, and in carrying on the illustrious Phantomhive name as his father desired him to.

He puts much of his time and effort into serving Her Majesty as well as running his company — the Funtom Company, which makes toys and games for children of all ages. However, neither of these things takes priority over the most important factor in his life: his family. His beloved wife, Rachel, and his darling son, Ciel, are the absolute world to him, and he puts their safety and happiness before everything else, including orders from Her Majesty. Were he forced to make a choice, he would sooner be a traitor to his country than a failure to his family. (Seriously, I cannot stress enough how much of a family man this guy is. You have no idea.)

With his family, friends and strangers alike, Vincent is a witty conversationalist and a social butterfly. He comes off as being naturally friendly and approachable, and makes friends very easily. The sort of generosity people might normally bestow upon their most loved ones is the sort of generosity that Vincent sees fit to bestow upon complete strangers: he invites children from the local orphanage into his home on the holidays, and donates liberally to charities as well as to individuals in need. In some respects, these things are done to ease his conscience, because he feels as though he needs to create some form of balance for all the evil he's done in his life.

The strong points of his personality are numerous, but not innumerable. He's a naturally magnetic person; others are drawn to him, and it makes him an excellent leader. His loyalties are deep and unshakable, and he doesn't shy away from hard work. While generally a 'good' person, he is also quite capable of manipulation, extortion, and other unsavory things in the name of Her Majesty or his family.

In his own opinion, Vincent's weaknesses outnumber his strengths, but he tends to be hard on himself. He's been accused of being too generous — he'll give you a second chance, and a third, and a fourth, and he will empty his pockets for you and give you the shirt off his back, even if he knows he's being duped. His softheartedness makes it nearly impossible for him to say no, and that includes the discipline of his son, which he typically leaves in his wife's hands, as he's no good at it. Children in general are a distinct weakness for him, and on the rare occasion that his work for the Queen puts him in such a position that he's had to kill a child, it's eaten him alive ever since.

His role as Her Majesty's guard dog has changed him in remarkable ways since he took the responsibility from his late father. His once-optimistic views have been dimmed, and while he'd never let you know it, his opinion of humans as a race and his hopes and dreams for the future have all been horribly warped. He has trouble really trusting people, not that it stops him from letting them take advantage. The things he's done haunt him daily, and the side of himself that he keeps in reserve for Her Majesty can sometimes slip out, causing him to go a bit overboard, especially if his family's safety is in question.

Abilities: No supernatural abilities to speak of! He's a talented man, but nothing that would be taken from him upon entering Mayfield.

Sample Entry: Sample post! I know the post itself doesn't do much for giving you a feel of the character, but I think (hope) you'll find that the particular thread I linked to does a much better job.
