Character Name: Jamil Viper Canon: Twisted Wonderland Character Blurb: anime boy gijinka of Jafar from Disney's Aladdin (1992). This is who I am now. In Twisted Wonderland's version of things Jamil has grown up as Kalim's servant and Designated Best Friend (By Kalim) due to their families' histories, which he resents a WHOLE lot. He's also secretly very talented but has had to hide this his whole life due to not being allowed to outshine Kalim in any way. However, he's also developed such an unpleasant level of ego about this, as well as a manipulative and cruel streak, that it's honestly hard to sympathize with him very much. You'd also want to murder Kalim if you were in his shoes though trust
Code Name: Nova Crescent Domain: Moon 🌙 (Prism Power Makeup) Combat Type: Attack probably; right now I'm considering a magic rogue archetype based on Idia's canon characterization of him as a fiddly off-DPS. Probably gonna let him go full edgelord assassin's creed about it since a hood is OBVIOUSLY required for his magical girl look. For powerset, I'm considering: crescent moon daggers, shadow phasing, maybe invisibility or teleport cloak?? He's going to be doing some full melodramatic Tuxedo Mask nonsense I can tell you that, I CANNOT stress enough how embarrassing this guy is
Awakening: I haven't decided the exact circumstances, but the key detail is that Kalim was not there and does not know about it because Jamil is going to be trying to keep his double life a secret from his as long as possible, despite there being no purpose whatsoever to this. It's the principle of the thing. Honestly he's SO buttmad Kalim is a Nova Knight at all ❤️ Present Life: In Calra City, Jamil is Kalim's bodyguard-slash-enforcer-in-training with their families in a similar Traditional Generational Arrangement as in canon. Also as in canon Jamil is SO resentful of this, but here it's a bit more focused around Jamil having to do Kalim's dirty work while he's determined to stick his head in the sand about being a mafia heir. They also have not even BEGUN to address any of their issues at this point in time so that's a whole bomb waiting to go off!!! The question isn't If Jamil is going to eclipse but When Past Life: Details are still vague, but we've at least decided on a role reversal situation with Jamil as the noble and/or wealthy merchant heir and Kalim as his servant and like it SEEMS a better arrangement at first but it turns out that it was just as fucked up in different ways. Haven't quite worked that out yet, but 🤔 one thing I would like to explore is how much of Jamil's shitty attitude comes from his Lifelong Resentment vs his natural personality. I mean obviously he'll still be a scheming little dickhead but what would he actually be like without a humongous chip on his shoulder about having to hold himself back... much to think about... oh we also decided that Jamil probably died saving Kalim in Otherwise Vague Circumstances so that present day Jamil can have a total incredulous conniption about it when he regains that memory :)
In-Game Plans: As referenced above I plan on Jamil trying to keep his real identity secret even from his teammates for as long as he can, but I do NOT care how successful he actually is with it with anyone other than Kalim, who is extremely easy to fool anyway. I think it would be really funny if other people had his number actually so feel free to have your characters figure it out even if they're not that smart. Pre-Established CR Hooks: Jamil makes it his business to stay beneath notice as much as possible, so it is very unlikely that anyone would know who he is unless they have directly encountered Kalim and thought to pay attention to That Guy Always Hanging Out Behind Him. It's very likely he's at least heard of other characters of prominence though since it's his job to be Kalim's walking reference material, lucky him! Desired CR/Hooks: Again, Jamil will be living a double life for as long as I can get mileage out of it, and I would love to play with him having potentially two different dynamics with all the other characters. He's a demure, quiet wallflower by day and the haughtiest asshole you've ever had the misfortune to meet by night. He's also REALLY mean to Nova Sunbeam for no reason in particular, what's up with that?? I imagine most of his civilian CR will be (blandly, boringly) positive and all his Nova Knight CR will be EXTREMELY negative and I really want to play with that dichotomy 🙏
