NAME: Henry Cooldown
CANON: No More Heroes
AGE: 30
APPERANCE: here he is
CANON POINT: Right after NMH2's final boss
BACKGROUND: wiki
PERSONALITY:
★ Unassuming — You wouldn't really know he was an assassin unless he told it to your face.
★ Level-headed — Even in the most dire of situations. Almost creepily so?
★ Sardonic — A little uppity with a pinch of dry humour, spelled in the British way, of course.
★ Opportunist — He is generally a "Jump first, asks questions later" kinda guy, but it's all about timing. Pushing the limits is a favored pastime only if it's produced similarily favorable results in the past.
★ Efficient — There's little to be gained from beating around the bush. Cleanliness and an immaculate presentation of himself falls into this category as well.
WEAKNESSES/TEMPTATIONS
★ Pride — Extremely careful about his appearances, whether it be physical or situational. In professional scenarios, this may include how his behaviour would be perceived and received in any given context. He not only takes pride in his work, but in his ability to blend into his surroundings to give away nothing about his line of work.
★ Emotional Unavailability — Being basically a Kill-For-Hire, he's learned to be more distant from people. You never know who you're gonna have to kill! That being said, it's probably fair to assume that he doesn't have much remorse for his actions to begin with if you get into this line of work and execute human beings without batting an eyelash. High chance of being psychopathic.
★ Hedonism — His greatest vice is drinking, but not to the point of alcoholism. He's not afraid to experiment with recreational drugs if in A Mood, engage in casual sex, and revel in lots of terrible things if left unchecked. If there is nothing worthwhile to occupy his time, he'll fall into a plethora of bad habits (see next bullet point).
★ Thrill-seeking — Being a self-aware fictional character, he's used to having a storyline and role to fill. If he's not doing something that makes him feel worthwhile in some way, he'll find excitement or purpose in any form he can. He realizes this isn't always the most conducive to keeping himself alive, but what's life without a little danger?
SINS:
★ Murder
★ Manipulation
★ Aiding in a dangerous con
★ Hypocrisy
★ Pride/Vanity
★ Lying
POWERS/ABILITIES:
★ Swordsmanship — He is very skilled with the sword. In his case, a light saber succinctly named the "Cross Sword", designed by Wolf Vann (Волк Ванн), a fictional Russian technician. It's also possible that an alternate name is "Vosmir", a portmanteau of Vostok (East, Orient) and Mir (peace, world), inspired by the spaceflight mission and space station respectively. He implements a blend of fighting styles best suited for a katana-like weapon.
★ Superhuman Agility/Stamina/Strength — While it's not as super as you'd imagine from an actual superhero, it's still considered impossible for "normal" human beings. He can jump ridiculously high, land safely from hundreds of feet up in the air without any equipment, crash through windows on a 30-story building from ambiguous trajectory, perform meteor moves that you'd only see in fantasy games, etc. Even being subject to Travis's brutal suplex wasn't enough to make him break a sweat.
★ Fourth-Wall Breakage — He is explicitly aware of being a fictional character in a video game. Most characters within his canon are also aware of this fact and can perform the same feat. He doesn't bring attention to it as rampantly as the protagonist does, but it's still there. If allowed, a permissions post will be available for this feature.
ITEMS:
★ Cross Sword: his trusty light-saber, compact and able to hang off a chain on his belt when not in use
★ Money clip: Only carries cash
★ Pack of cigarettes: half full, probably a month old.
