☀ First Impressions ♜ VISUAL: Ronald is probably the furthest anyone would think a grim reaper would be. The first thing that would come to mind is brightness: from his seemingly boundless energy to his dual toned hair (blond over black) with its signature cowlick, he just exudes brightness. As is signature of reapers in his world, his eyes are green rimmed with gold and framed by large glasses that can only be described as goggle-like. He never needs to adjust them. They seem to be perfectly suited to his face. The second (less obvious) striking detail would be the fact that his right sleeve is empty. His missing arm is one thing that he usually hides, choosing dark jackets to make his handicap less obvious to those who don't know what to look for. ♜ FASHION: Even back home, Ronald was always a bit of a fashionista. His suit is Italian cut, his shoes patent white leather (which are his pride and joy). Perhaps it's a force of habit but he usually wears a vest and dress shirt with a tie. More often than not, he uses a coat not because he needs it but to help hide his missing arm. He doesn't stray too far from dark, neutral colors (blacks and greys) if only to make his hair and shoes stand out more. On occasion, he'll stray into deep purples and deep reds, perhaps a pinstripe or two but he never wears anything too bright. As the Baron Samedi, he's taken to wearing a top hat on more formal occasions: a black thing with a purple ribbon around it. Tucked into the ribbon are a peacock feather, a sprig of tobacco flowers, a dead daisy and a small silver pin shaped like a skull that holds it all together. On occasion, he wears black leather gloves and can be seen with a watch around his right wrist. ♜ DEMEANOUR: He's always been a reaper confident of his own charm. When he walks, it's with his head high and his back straight. There's always a smile on his face, always a cocky flirtatious grin thrown toward whoever seems to catch his fancy. Hardly anything seems to bring him down and when something actually does, he never lets it affect him. He's quick to shrug it off and return to his usual cheeriness. But he knows when to get serious. When it comes to business, he puts on a different sort of confident air. One that isn't afraid to throw out a clever line every now and then even in the middle of a scrap. He's also oddly efficient in his work which seems to contradict his effortless "I'm just coasting by" air. ♜ AURAL: The first thing that might cause you to do a double take is Ronald's accent. It's English, yes but distinctly North London. Not quite cockney, not quite posh. Being a lad of the streets in Victorian England, he still peppers his speech with the old thieves' slang which does end up making him near indecipherable to other people at times. Over time, he's learned to tone it down and use "regular" English but when he's gotten so drunk he's incoherent, good luck trying to understand him. ♚ OLFACTORY: What do they smell like? Specific perfumes, what they bathe in, anything else? ♚ MENTAL INFORMATION: Any information on psychic shields or other things that telepaths might want to know. ♜ MAGICAL INFORMATION: They would be quick to notice the lingering feeling of death, like that cold dread or a chill running down your spine. Deep in his core, Ronald is still a reaper and his position as the Baron only cemented this further. His soul is only half alive. It's fainly there. Present, but faintly there. His memories and emotions are mentally guarded but only faintly. It'll take little persuation to have him open up and spill if you were talking about something important.. ☄ OOC ♜ BACKTAGGING: NECESSARY | My timezone is GMT+8 so I'm usually offline/busy when people are tagging. I only boomerang when feeling it so counting on me to isn't reliable. I do try to most of the time when logged in though. ♜ FOURTHWALLING: yes | Go right ahead. He'll probably look at you with a look of mild confusion though. ♜ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: yes | Ron's actually quite affectionate. He's not averse to giving hugs or being in close contact with someone so bring on all the arm slinging and cuddling. ♜ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: maybe | Fights are fine. Even if he's lost his arm, he can still fight. While he doesn't hit hard, he hits fast. Contact me if you want to injure him or kill him so we can discuss details. ♜ RELATIONSHIPS: no | He's already in enough hot water between two people. He will flirt though and be happy to flirt back with you but no sex.
