canihelpyouCharacter Name: He doesn't have one, but is referred to as 'The Climber'
Canon: Castle of Nations/Endzone
AU/OC/Previous Game: N/A
Age: 3-4
Appearance: He is a mannequin made from cloth. White with a face he painted on himself with mud, so his eyes are lopsided and don't work as real eyes, he doesn't need light to see, his mouth doesn't actually have a hole and he can't eat, etc. However, the face can be washed away leaving him unable to see or speak. Magic idk. Climber is covered in bullet holes, his arms keep getting torn off and he has several tears all over, ameteurly sewn back on. His torso was blown off one time and stapled back together. Basically like this: http://unknown-person.deviantart.com/art/F
Cause of Death: Burned to death in a fighting tournament
Impact of Death: Climber doesn't want to be dead. He wants to be alive and free and with Clarice, and the way he died was scary. Climber is terrified of fire and can't even be around cigarettes without freaking out, so his traumas concerning that are going to be amplified. Even so, he'd been fighting for so long to see Clarice. He was tired, and he knows Red managed to save her and trusts Dood to get all his friends out; he'd be content with that knowledge, a kind of bittersweet peace.

Character Info: Climber used to work in a theme park food court; he was an attraction that would climb up and down a wall. When his mechanics broke down, he was declared useless and thrown out. However, in the theme park is the Castle of Nations, a sentient building/power source that would bring all the attractions to life. Despite being broken, he was still able to walk around and talk, and yearned desperately for a way to be useful again. A purpose in life is all he wants, and one of the few ways to make him angry is calling his usefulness into question. He's quiet and unsure but not shy, even if he is a bit of a pushover. Climber tries hard but he's somewhat socially awkward and still learning how to interact with people. His wish to be useful was granted when a girl named Clarice got stuck in the park at night and discovered Climber lying on a wagon. Childish, naive and simple minded, he was happy simply to have someone to talk to, that he could protect and help and would thank him for his efforts. Climber took an instant liking to the girl despite everyone else in the theme park trying to kill her, and fought to protect her until they could find the way out.
This was not a happy occurence for Climber; if he ever left the park, and Castle of Nation's energy source, he would die within days. Clarice was his only friend, but she had a life outside the park to get back to and could not stay with him. It is at this point the Big Bad Wolf appeared to Climber, offering him a way out: a fighting tournament in the Everafter maximum security asylum and home for the fantastically traumatised. Unsure, but hopeful that it would be better than his current situation, Climber took the wolf up on his deal. Entering the asylum he was naive and quiet, but a very kind person who dearly wanted to help others. Climber battled his way through, facing ninjas, the devil, fanatical puppeters and 19th Century chimney sweeps. However, all Climber really wanted to do was leave the asylum and find a way to Clarice; the battles were taking their tole on him and he hated having to hurt people. Unlike many other competitors who made friends and stuck together, Climber somehow always managed to become separated from the people he met or made enemies with them. Adding in the fact that Climber draws energy from the power sources around him to keep himself moving, the dark, violent, psychopathic nature of the 'Grimm' in Everafter began to influence him, intensifying in the final round. Climber battled against Dood, the Chosen One. His power failing during the intense fight, Climber was relying completely on Grimm given off by Everafter... And the Big Bad Wolf. He managed to defeat Dood, but choked when it came time for the finishing blow; despite the Grimm affecting his mindset, he could not bring himself to kill.
Dood's friends showed up to save him and Climber told them to run while he held off the wolf, because Dood had precious friends that cared about him there while Climber did not. Already exhausted and his energy failing, Dood knew Climber couldn't last long and promised to return for him. Climber battled the wolf, and came across one of the asylum residents: Little Red Riding Hood. Seeing him possessed by the wolf, she immediately attacked, and in the course of battle Climber discovered the terrible truth. As insurance, every competitor had a loved one taken and kept in the wolf's stomach to ensure they would compete, each being returned home as the competitors lost; everyone except Clarice. With renewed determination, Climber fought hard to save her, but Red was too much for him. In the end, his kind words managed to reach Red through her madness as he forgave her for attacking him and asked her to save his friend. Red no longer wanted to kill him and spared him the final blow, but her attacks had already sparked a fire. Climber fell just in time to see Red slice through the wolf's stomach and Clarice fall out to safety.
Old Game Info: N/A
Abilities (before Powercap): Extremely fast and agile, but lacking in physical strength. His fighting style involves lots of twirling and leaping about, not because it looks cool, but because he needs to build up the momentum. Climber is very handy with his pickaxe.
The Big Bad Wolf's power lingers in Climber even after death, if he loses a body part he can call on dark shadow power to replace it, and turn his hands into massive claws, extend it from his body to use as a weapon or a shield, etc.
Abilities (after Powercap): Climber's power intake will be limited in Thusia. He will tire faster and take longer to recover the longer he is separated from Castle of Nations. He can fix this by relying on Thusia's own energy or falling back on the wolf's. Both will influence his personality in different ways, however the powercap will make the wolf's effect weaker and expending energy will be more tiring. Climber is already hesitant to use those powers, but doing so will be harder. His massive claws will be demoted to regular size claws.
Items Brought In: His pickaxe. Climber owns literally nothing else.
Samples:
-Write a character monologue (internal or external) on a subject of your choice.
I'm so sorry Clarice. I wanted to see you again, I really wanted to share your world. There's so much I don't know, about you and what your life is like... It would have been nice. To learn about everything with you. I...I guess there's no helping it now. I dragged you into something dangerous, and I can't even get you out. That was really selfish of me, wasn't it? I'm so sorry. Maybe... Maybe one day you could forgive me for that. I hope. That girl, she saved you, and she's really strong. Trust me, I know, haha. If I could feel pain I bet I would've lost that fight much earlier. B-But she's on your side, I really think she's a good person that will help you escape. And Dood promised to come back, look to the East! Whatever East is. He's strong too Clarice, he's a real hero and he'll definitely protect you. He protected all his friends. Please manage to get home, okay? You said you had a life to get back to, so I... I'd like to think you got back safely. That everyone got out safely. I'd like to think that.
-Fill out the survey below ICly.
Introduce yourself in a few sentences.
Hello. I'm the Climber, I'm a mannequin that used to work in a food court and now I... Well, I guess I don't really do much of anything anymore. But! I can still be useful, so if you ever need help just ask.
Describe yourself physically.
Um, I'm a mannequin, so I'm made of cloth. And my face is drawn on, I made it myself. Not bad for something done with mud, huh?
What was your childhood like?
I didn't have one. Unless you count when I was first built? Then I spent all day walking and entertaining kids. It was nice, I'd make people happy and I'd get to watch everybody smile, sometimes there'd be these sideshows in the park I could see too.
Who is most important to you, and why?
Ferris wheel, that's Clarice for sure! She's smart and resourceful and nice to me, m-most of the time at least. She gave me something to live for... She's my only friend. I may not have known her very long, but... I'd do anything for her.
What's your biggest pet peeve?
I'm not sure what a 'peeve' is, but uh, I like pets? Animals are so cute and fluffy when they're not lions. I really don't like lions! Or cats! They're like lions only smaller and just as scratchy.
Do you consider yourself an optimistic or a pessimist? Why?
I guess that depends on where you ask. Back at the theme park, I always tried to look on the bright side, but now... It was hard, but I think things worked out for the best in the end. So, the first one? Even if the bright side is hard to see, it's still there.
Where, or how, did you learn your most important skills?
I was just built that way.
Do you think world peace is possible?
Sure it is. Sometimes people fight for silly reasons I don't understand, but sometimes they can understand each other too. Everyone should just have to talk to each other for that to happen.
Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
I really don't like fighting... Like I said before, it's better if you can talk it out. But for something important, something worth dying for... You don't really have a choice there, do you?
What turns you on the most?
Oh I'm not that kind of mannequin, I don't have any switches.
Anything else you'd like to say?
Oh, uh, is it really okay? Um... Ferris wheel, I don't know what to say. I guess there's not, I'm sorry.
