Description

When I ask for a critique, I'd like it to be over LC as a character, and my approach to ARTZ~

-Basics-
A depressed fuck with a god complex who lives for the hell of it.


Name (Nickname):
_____ Cantrell / Lost Cause

Age:

17

Gender:
Male

Race:
Caucasian

List three to five most important things about your character.
He doesn’t care about most things except himself, and he’s a bit of a prick, when he wants to be. Also, he MIGHT be gay. More on that later.


-Physical Details-


Build/Body Type/Physical Frame:
His build is apparently fair, leaning on the underweight side.

Height:
5'7"

Weight:
106.7 lbs

Skin:
Pale, fitzpatrick skin type II.

Hair:
Medium/long-ish dark-brown hair, with white tips (for some reason).

Eyes:
Dark blue eyes, most likely a genetic mutation from a few generations of his family ago.

Other defining features/extra anatomy:
A tattoo of a = ) on his right wrist

Habits:
Often overanalyzes things, and doesn't care about most other things, so isn't a great conversationalist.

Gestures/Mannerisms:
"ok" or "okay" are compliments to him, so he says "okay" " as a compliment as well.as a compliment


Demeanor/Carriage/Gait:
Who cares? owo

Voice:
Monotone, with a hint of bitcherey.

Style:
Shabby yet colorful~!

Clothing:
His outfit is COLORFUL~ a great contrast to his gray personality, don’tcha think? XD He accidentally bleached all of his clothes so he had to color them himself, and he has little-to-no artistic experience. Usually wears a COLORFUL long-sleeves shirt and some COLORFUL jeans, and sometimes even wears his COLORFUL hoodie~!


-Personality-
Part One: Basic Info
Loves/Favorites:
Being diagnosed with legit depression, the brains disability to generate dopamine and other neurostimulants, not many things make him actually happy. Other than that, there are a few things that actually SORTA do. That being his little music box, and, on occasion, Alex. And BOYS OF COURSEE~

Hates:
Not being able to be happy doesn’t mean you can’t be unhappy! He hates loud noises, when people won’t LEAVE him the FUCK alone, and potatoes.

Hobbies:

He enjoys long walks on the beach, and bouquets of roses. Not really, duh, his hobbies include: doodling, sleeping, and taking notes of people and things.

Talents/Skills:
He’s really fukin good at making tiny little octodogs, it’s not even funny. Since he takes notes of things every single day, he’s become talented at chicken scratch handwriting and more detailed analysises.


Hopes/Dreams:
He wants to outlive everyone and everything. He will succeed, no matter the cost.


Fears/Nightmares:
Death.


Best Quality:
“Best Quality” implies he has any good qualities. I guess octodogs and his connections to demonic entities are okay qualities.

Greatest Flaw:
Everything?…

Character Strengths:
His lack of caring. If he cared about succeeding more, he probably would’ve sold his soul to the devil, to gain immortality or some shit. Also, since he takes his pretty lil’ notes, he usually anticipated his opponents moves/actions.


And the coinciding weaknesses:
His lack of caring. Since he cares so little, he often doesn’t do things that require a lot of work, or things that would make him tired. He also enjoys doing nothing, so he’s pretty fuking unproductive.


Quirks:
OCTODOGS~~!! And he unconsciously hums the ‘Fur Elise’ when he’s tired.

One thing he/she is and one thing he/she is not.
Smart, but not wise. Good, but not good.


What he/she wants (ex: move towards) and doesn’t want (ex: move away from, avoid)
He will become a level one entity. It’s not a want, it’s a need that WILL be fulfilled.

Part Two: In-depth Analysis (If you really want, this part can be omitted.)

How does the character picture himself/herself?
Better than everyone else. He has a bit of a God Complex, but his depression overrides it. When he’s not depressed, it’s pretty fukn obvious, tho.

How do others see him/her?
He’s a weirdo, since he never talks to anyone and is by himself all the time.

Five adjectives that he/she would use to describe his/herself.
Better. Meh. God. A Lost Cause. Bored.


Five adjectives others would use to describe him/her.
Weird. Secluded. FABULOUS~! Depressed. Emo. Hippie.


Most valued possession:
The knowledge of Omega. Since he knows Omega exists, he knows that “God” has absolutely no power, and is vulnerable.


Darkest secret and/or treasured memory:
He’s gay.


Most proud accomplishment and or greatest failure:
Glass soldier. HUGE failure.


Is he/she motivated by possibility or necessity?
A bit of both. He wants to become the equivalent of a god, but he (mentally) needs to.

Current motivation:
Survival.

How does he/she view the future and/or the past?
Those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it.

What is his/her philosophy on life and death?
“meh” -Lost Cause


What kind of energy level do they usually have?
Depressed, but energetic when not depressed (however often that is).

How does he/she show and/or handle: love, affection, grief, pain, anger, sadness, conflict, change, loss?
Simple. He doesn’t.


Does he/she have a temper?

Depends on what your definition of a temper is. He’s a bit of a bitch when you get him mad, so passive-aggressive temper.

How does he/she respond to the surrounding world, the ‘unfamiliar,’ and other people in general?
Unempathetic and analytical. Data and values, laws and statistics.

Polite or rude?
Rude.


Stingy or generous?
Generous.

What kind of ‘public’ face does he/she display?
None. He. Doesn’t. Fucking. Care.

Leader or a follower?
Nope. Well… Lucy that one time, but other than that, nope!


More happy by themselves or in a group?
By himself, ofc. And, ofc, he never gets to be by himself thanks to Alex.


Does he/she have any addictions/dependencies/fixations/fetishes/ or other strange behavior?
He has depression but also a god complex. He cares about taking notes but he doesn’t care about much of anything else.

What is his/her sexual preference/experience/values?
heh… Didn’t I mention this earlier?


-History/Background-
Born in New York, New York, to his parents Michael Cantrell and Emily Cantrell, along with his two brothers Rein and Sno Cantrell. Not long after his birth, his mother went missing, and presumed dead by the police. LC has always been called “the odd one out.” He’s been treated with many anti-depressants, but only one of which have worked. That one also happened to cause seizures, and many other side effects. While he was young, he realized that the world is NOT fair. His two brothers both experienced oddities as they grew older. Doctors also predicted something would happen to LC by the time he was 16.. and they were right. The tips of his hair began to turn white, like his brother, Sno. That’s all so far.


Setting:
Early 2000s in rural New York.

Occupation:
If a student counts as an occupation, then he's a student.

Educational background/other learning experiences:
School.

Intelligence Level:
His IQ is 109.5.


Short Term Goals:
Don’t die.


Long Term Goals:
Become God.


Family:
His father is Michael Cantrell, his mother is Emily Cantrell. He was never very close to his father, and he never knew his mother. He moved away when he was young with his aunt, who soon disappeared after becoming his legal guardian.

Friends:
Does Alex count? I don’t think Alex counts.

Backstory:
Born. Lived. Is still living.


-Combat-
This is more of an ‘if applicable’ section. It’s really only important if you plan to use your character in a tournament or competition. But then again, sometimes it’s just good to  know these things about your character for personal interest.


Physical Strength:
He’s strong enough to break your nose, but he has pretty much no tactical experience.


Coordination/Reflexes:
Pretty good reflexes, but his reflexes allow him to be aware of things, he really doesn’t know how to use his reflexes effectively.


Fighting Style:
Consecutive normal punches. Maybe a kick here and there.

Unusual Abilities/Powers:
None. He’s a human being, not a Marysuvian.

Weapons/Other Gear:
Is Alex a weapon? I don’t think Alex is a weapon.

Wow ok, so my eyes are bleeding from that shirt. And the colors in the shirt aren;t mixing together which annoys me.And do YOU even know his real name? Cause half the time when people do that they don't know the real name either. The white types look a little weird since you can't tell if there from age or they dyed them, Which if he dyed them it would have a pink tint since he has reddish hair (or maybe my eyes are being crapy and hr has brown) So he must have gotten a fuck ton of white hair dye and dyed it. And line art looks like you sketched it.
