~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Physical appearance:

Pierr is a tall man, standing roughly six feet and five inches tall. He has a very slim, yet still very well muscled build, most of his body being quite thin though he has broad shoulders. He has a fiery, orange shade of hair which shoots back in a strange, almost cylindrical fashion, spiking at the end.

His eyes are a piercing, deep red, like blood mixed with wine, and his ears are pointed, almost like an elf's. His lips are most often adorned with merlot shaded lip stick, and the rest of his facial features are obscured by the mask he wears. His hands are also overly large and all of his body besides his neck, and parts of his head are covered in clothing entirely, obscuring all of his bodily features including his hands. Also, his face, or at least what's visible of it, is covered in makeup making his actual skin tone impossible to determine...or perhaps it has grown to be his natural skin tone, who knows?

Clothing/Accessories: He wears extremely elegant and overly eccentric clothing, most closely resembling the attire of a classical clown from the time of jesters and the like. The colorful and gay attire is strange for such a malicious creature and it fully covers his body, from his red shirt with enormous shoulder pads, to his green pants, accentuated by golden circles and his over-sized yellow boots and white gloves.

He also wears a mask on the top part of his face, covering it except for his eyes. The right side of this mask is black whereas the left side is white a large scar on the top and bottom of the eye hole and a large red heart above it. He carries a strange apparatus on his back that holds his four swords, which also has two roughly three foot long ribbons flowing off of the top of it.

~Personality~

As you're walking through the door, you see many sights that influence your mood. The different feelings that suddenly wash over you are many, leaving you with a strange mix of emotions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alignment: Evil

Behavior: Pierr is a unique fellow, in that his personality is unusually different from almost everyone else he's ever met. He is a sadistic, malicious being, his insanity and bloodthirsty ways making him a dangerous person to be around. His sanity is also questionable, the Heartless probably being at least partially insane. However, despite all this he has incredible cunning, knowledge and prowess.

He is extremely sly, often using this to his advantage in both commonplace conversation and in battle. In addition to this he has a sickening sense of humor, the clown finding horrible, morbid things appealing and loving the sounds of misery, torment, and destruction.

He especially enjoys the cries of despair and pleas for mercy offered him by his enemies, though they only drive him to kill them in an even more slow and agonizing way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Weapons~

Suddenly, a Heartless appears in front of you, brandishing its claws and threatening to attack. You reach for your weapon and equip it, ready to defend yourself.

[/i][/b]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heart, Spade, Diamond, Club- Pierr's four swords, each made of high quality steel, enriched with magic to make it even stronger. The hilts of each are tipped with the corresponding symbol one would find on a card, and the hilts and hand guards, as well as these symbols are all laden in gold.

He carries them on a large square object on his back, the sheathes all connected to it and pointing outwards from the corners. The blades themselves are roughly three feet in length, with double sided blades, and the swords are relatively lightweight despite their appearance, as he commonly wields two at once.

If he needs to remove the device to increase his speed or mobility, he seals it within a playing card, a blank white playing card with a four at all cardinal directions and four swords, one at each corner with the blades pointing towards a white sphere in the center. He can dispell or summon this card whenever needed. (Card referenced in his mugshot.)

~Abilities~

Just as you're about to fight the creature, you feel the power of your ancestors filling you. The strength of a thousand men courses through your veins as you prepare for battle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Trump Swords:
A unique supplementary ability Pierr uses as his secondary method of attack aside from regular sword combat. Using this ability he can draw his swords telepathically, as well as throw them. However, there are severe limitations to this telekenesis.

For one, it will only work on his swords, secondly, the limitations of the ability itself are slowing, speeding up, stopping, unsheathing, returning, or throwing the swords. Complex actions such as sword fighting are impossible. Primarily he only uses it to unsheathe his swords, return them, or to throw his swords as projectiles.

Thirdly, they can only be thrown as strong as he could physically throw them, and their direction can be very slightly changed while at full speed but must be slowed and turned manually to achieve any useful effect, as such he barely ever turns them in flight. It is also easier to control them as a group rather than separately.

Strength: Weak
Uses: Indefinite, not highly draining and it's his primary attack method. However, if you count the fact he must return the swords again before he can throw them again, the actual amount of times it can be used per post is indefinite for the ability itself, but the attack portion of it would only be commencable up to four times, once with each sword most likely, unless a more complex maneuver were used.

Clown Trick - Disguise and Surprise:
A very strange ability which primarily has it's uses outside of battle. It allows Pierr to alter his form to disguise himself, but, like with Trump Swords, there are limitations. The most he can do with this ability is alter his height and general body proportions, as well as his clothing and things like eye color.

He cannot however, form things like claws, guns, javelins, or anything of the like. It is a disguise ability, not an advanced shape shifting one. For example, he could turn himself into a purple haired boy roughly 6 feet tall with average clothes, but he could not turn himself into a fifty foot tall monster with swords for arms. When the ability ends, it's almost as if he never looked any different, the change so sudden the word fade wouldn't properly describe it.

Strength: Weak
Uses: Unlimited since it has no real battle purpose and takes no energy to maintain.

~History~

As you slay the last of the beasts, you put your weapon aside, and walk away, knowing your tale of bravery will be told for thousands of years to come.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Originally, Pierr was born in the world of Twilight Town, where sunset rules the night and day, and no matter what hour it is, the horizon is lit up with spectacular coloration. He was born to a pair of middle class people, business owners, or more specifically the owners of a theater of fine arts, an extravagant place where plays and other performances were given every single night for the entertainment of the citizens.

Of course such a successful and interesting business venture gave them a very high standing amongst the other townspeople, and not only that but it also gave them a good sized bank account. They weren't exactly rich but upper middle class would be an appropriate term, the bourgeoisie if you will.

This, as you may expect, allowed the couple to raise their son very comfortably, but he had an insatiable desire to challenge himself as well, he loathed being handed everything on a silver platter, where was the fun in that? He needed to apply himself somehow, he wanted something that couldn't be given to him. His parents accommodated this desire he had by teaching him the arts, something that you obviously had to work at to become good at, fitting his request perfectly.

And so his parents assisted his practice at acting, instructing him in acting and helping him to further his skills with being a performer as best they could. Of course, when your parents have run a theater for a good part of their lives, it's quite literally professional assistance. Despite his enjoyment of this new favorite pastime he had acquired however, he stilldisliked his overly pampered childhood.

In his own personal interests, he found that as he grew up, he grew to enjoy the art of the jester more than any other, ironic and fitting because of his name, his full name at least, literally meaning clown or jester. He actually became very skilled in all of the classical techniques of entertainment associated with the comedic clowns, and he thoroughly enjoyed furthering this ambition until he finally began performing at his parent's theater.

At the age of roughly eighteen, he was out practicing his latest routine in the local forest, making sure to have gone quite deep into the wood to avoid anyone from catching him in the act of his...well, act, because it was a new routine he wanted to try out that night which no one had ever seen to liven the show up.

Sadly, a very unfortunate occurrence happened whilst he was attempting his practice. He was, while on his circus ball, jumped by a powerful Heartless roaming the forest and...if not anything...brutally killed. It resulted in him getting his heart consumed by darkness, corrupting it and subsequently turning him into his current state of existence...a Heartless, just as the creature that slaughtered him so mercilessly.

His form became altered, grotesque and disproportionate. He took the appearance of exactly what it was he'd enjoyed as a human, it was as if the darkness had played his desires like a hand of cards, giving him the form of a clown, a jester, but that wasn't what he was anymore, was it? He looked like one sure...but appearances can be deceiving. His clothing had changed as well, it was different, more eccentric but more...shadowy...and a mask now covered the upper portion of his face.

Despite his relatively happy and colorful appearance, it was impossible not to see that he was darker than that...sadistic...evil. It was what he had become. He left Twilight Town after that, not even bothering to return to the city afterwards.

Of course his parents sent a search party out for him but...by then he was long gone...the only thing they found were a few of his props scattered about the ground where he had left them...and a bloody circus ball.

He then began wandering the worlds, roaming them as a nomad, seeking to continue his entertainment with a new...style I suppose you could call it. And of course, seeking to gain entertainment himself with destruction,and causing despair and death in his wake. Now every world was his stage! The potential was unlimited!

So still does he do this, traveling between worlds and spreading his twisted and perverse sense of humor with him, the greatest of the humorous Heartless, the entertaining evil... and of course, the Clown of Catastrophe.

This character is pretty unique, and well written-out, no doubt. However, there are some problems with your history that might stop you from taking away the prize in the contest...

Why would his heart had already been tainted? He had been raised in a rich household, doing really whatever he wanted. Being twisted before he was a heartless really doesn't make that much sense... Then again, what does with clowns, anyways?

My overall opinion... I'd have to say 7.5/10. Pretty good.

ANYWAYS, now what you asked for...

Accepted and Locked under contest rules.
