Character Information:
Full Name: Reborn
Series: Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn!
Canon point: An unidentified time post/mid-canon (approximately 5 years later)
Age: 2. Or over 50. Depending on when you catch him, he looks like a baby or like a man in his late 20s, early 30s.
Species: Human/Arcobaleno
Appearance/PB: Adult Baby
Appearance upon arrival: Reborn will be in his baby-form upon arrival.
History:
Previous RP memories: None
Bringing someone along?: Leon, a shapeshifting green chameleon.
Character History: Here.
Personality:
Overall, Reborn is quite a mysterious person. His exact age is unknown, but is definitely much older than his current appearance would suggest. Even before he took on the curse of the Arcobaleno, Reborn was known as the world's strongest hit man, and the title is given entirely in earnest. The years since seem only to have served to increase his reputation. He knows more and can do more than anyone who looks like him should be able to. As an adult he is formidable and looks it; as a child, he is often underestimated, though not by anyone who actually matters.
Reborn seems to have a finely tuned sense of the appropriate dignity. While he was an adult, he was very serious, and didn't smile very often. Very few people were able to get really close to him. However, (once he'd accepted the cursed form that he took on) this is not the case presently. He is ridiculous and somewhat outrageous at times, dressing up in elaborate costumes, falling asleep in the middle of important conversations and abusing children of all ages and competencies. He might not be perfectly happy or content with his current situation, but he has certainly taken the idea of "making the best of things" to en entirely new level.
As a hit man, however, Reborn is absolutely professional. He holds very few things to be of great value and does not seem to value possessions in general except in a very perfunctory way. He is someone who plans ahead, who gathers what information he can to the utmost possible degree rather than risk making a mistake. If he can afford to seem nonchalant in dire situations (and it takes a great deal to make him upset or truly angry), it is only because he has already gone over every known permutation in his mind before taking the first step in or sending the first (and usually only) necessary bullet flying. It is an integrity of sorts that he always follows through on what he promises to deliver to his employers.
With all that being said, Reborn is controlled by certain things. A respect for the most of the rules of conduct as laid down by the mafia, including his current employer, the Ninth head of the Vongola family, his duty and responsibilities (perceived and actual) and a fondness for women (and fast cars). He has few strong emotional ties to others and greatly values those that he does have, though he is definitely not above some amount of judicious abuse or manipulation of these people. He respects competence and capability and absolutely hates wasted or misused potential above just about anything else.
While Reborn is very dedicated to helping Tsuna become a successful mafia boss, he is still quite sadistic about it, doing entirely unnecessary things with the justification that it's for Tsuna's own good. He is very close-mouthed about certain things and doesn't let Tsuna or any of his family members know more than is absolutely necessary. This is partly because they don't need to know the information at that particular time. But it is also partly because Reborn's a sadistic jerk sometimes.
Leon is his best friend and partner, and he is quite possessive of him, just as all the other Arcobaleno seem to be of their own respective partners. He uses him (at least in the anime) in all sorts of fights and situations, with the chameleon adapting to his particular needs, but that doesn't mean Reborn isn't quite adept with other forms of weaponry.
In general, he almost invariably treats females of all ages with courtesy and respect (by his standards, not necessarily society's), but males will have a more mixed reception. If you are competent in your chosen field(s), he will treat you with the respect you deserve. He sometimes antagonizes those he considers to be capable of handling it (or those he's known for a very long time), while treating those he considers to be incompetent or weak with disdain. He has therefore gathered quite a group of enemies over the years (how many of them actually remain is another story). If he considers you or your skill set to be of use to him (both short or long-term), the best way to describe his treatment of you would be "networking." Polite conversation, small favors, and possibly some physical "tokens of his appreciation." You can choose to take what he does/gives at face-value or not, at your own discretion.
Extra:
Character Abilities: Despite being just over a foot tall, Reborn is an accomplished fighter, being arguably more (in)famous after his transformation than before. He has the gift of disguising himself in various costumes (that only his former students can see through, apparently). He's a sharpshooter and his pet, Leon can transform into various tools (his signature gun, a mirror, a hammer), for him to use. He most commonly uses his various special bullets on Tsuna for training. His ultimate attack is "Chaos Shot," where he fires multiple Sun-flames to numb his opponents' bodies, which works against single and multiple opponents.
Possessions: He's wearing a suit as he usually is as well as his signature fedora. Leon, his pet chameleon, is also with him. He probably also has some little surprises hidden in hammer-space, but he's the type who will see the advantages to Splendor's system and adapt to it quickly.
Anything else: His favorite drink is espresso, he's a member of the Italian bird-watching society, he can speak to insects and apparently read minds. In short, he claims a lot of completely ridiculous and random skills, so be careful what you ask him to do, or he (or one of his disguises) will probably turn out to be the gold-medal winner of the aquatic gymnastics competition for five years running or something.
Samples:
Action/Communication thread/post sample: Hopefully, this will serve as a thread-sample. If you need more, I'll only be able to point you tochameleongun for all my (very) old RP threads...
Log/Prose sample: Not quite sure if this fits the requirements exactly... It's an AU adult!Reborn.
Intro post:
[Action/Voice]
[Reborn is not really the sort of person to be taken aback easily, but he is as close to it as he ever comes. With the clarity of uncommon shock, he remembers jumping up in order to examine the strange music box that had suddenly appeared in the Vongola compound on his desk. And then he'd had one of the strangest dreams he'd ever had, which made him suspect some form or other of mind control, which was quite worrying, considering he was leaving Tsuna and the other Vongola behind without being able to warn them about it-
And he wakes up in an admittedly impressive hall, all huge stairs and marble steps. He would never admit it out loud, but the familiar weight of Leon on his hat is comforting, even as his long-time partner makes a soft sound of confusion. He reaches up to his hat and Leon obligingly transforms into his gun. He didn't know what kind of place this was, or what kind of enemies might be around him, considering the strange teleportation that had landed him here, and it would be better to be prepared.
The familiar weight of the cursed pacifier around his neck is strange somehow. When Reborn looks down he finds a strange key shining next to it. He takes it off immediately, suspicious of its origins, but it seems to be quite innocuous, at least as far as he can tell. It wouldn't make sense to throw away a possible source of information before he'd even determined what it would be used for, so he slips it into his pocket, where it hits against something... something else he doesn't remember putting in there. What was this place?
He takes out something that looks just a bit like a gold dinner plate, sized for his hands, with the etching of a gun in the center. He turns it over, wondering what it was for, wondering exactly what had happened to him, and his first thought is that if some unknown enemy had managed to trap him like this...]
Tsuna. Where are you?
