[OOC] Characters Post
If you are interested in playing your original character(s) in ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
superdemic, then we need to know who that character is! This is the post where you need to provide some basic information about yourself and your character. Kind of like an app without being an app, since...well, you don't have to apply to play in this musebox.
Be aware that you are perfectly welcome to add locations, organizations, details, etc., to this world as long as it does not contradict information that already exists for it. But if you add anything, you also need to make sure to include the details for those additions so that other players know what they are and how or if they can be of use to them as well.

yetCharacter Information
Character Name: Alvaro "Varo" Sala
Character Journal:
Appearance/Played By: Eduardo Espinilla
Personality:
Varo is a good kid and he means well. That’s the first impression you will probably get from him- he has just a sweet demeanor to him. The way he carries around and he speaks, the way he looks at you straight to your eyes when he’s talking to you… everything in him speaks of “I trust you and I hope you trust me back”, and you can’t help but do just so.
But the truth is that he will not trust you or even like you, at all. He’s growing up seeing how the teacher he trusted was filled with greed so yellow it blinded him. How the nice woman at the bakery who offered him a candy every time he brought some bread had the soft blue light of sloth surrounding her. How the couple that eat each other with kisses under his window where they thought no one could see them kept getting a darker and darker blue as time goes by.
It’s hard to trust humanity when you can see the worst in them. So he doesn’t, and he doesn’t really care about what they think of him either. Why should he? They are all a bunch of sinners.
It’s not really that he’s incredibly religious, even though his Aunt tries to raise him that way. He’s loosely catholic, at best and he doesn’t really have any issues with people that follow other religions, if any. But he’s had the wrong side of people drilled into his head literally since he was born so it’s not a surprise that he would react that way to people.
He has a lot of fun playing with people, even though it doesn’t necessarily have to be with his powers. He’s smart and good with words so he loves teasing people. He has a hard time making friends because he likes discretely laughing at them a little bit too much, but he doesn’t really see then need for friends.
He’s one of the good guys, or so he likes to think. He’s aware that his powers could easily make him a very powerful villain but he refuses to let them dictate what he does with his life. He’s determined to try to use his powers for good, to focus on the weak spots the bad guys might have and use it against them. That’s why he choose his own codename “Carnal” and went to the first organization he found that would let him do just that.
Character History:
Alvaro’s birth wasn’t expected, but it certainly wasn’t unwanted. His parent (hard-working first generation immigrants with admittedly little education beyond high school) had long given up on having kids the natural way, and since his mother Soraya didn’t really want a kid that wasn’t hers adoption wasn’t really a viable option. And then out of the blue, she was pregnant.
They loved their kid; there was no doubt of that. They tried to give him everything they could, and made sure he knew everything he could about his roots and their culture. He was a smart kid, and never got into trouble (even though trouble seemed to follow him everywhere he went). His parents though…
Well, something changed. His mother had always been worried about her appearance, but it went to extremes a couple of years after Alvaro was born. Clothes needed to be more and more fashionable and expensive, make up didn’t just seem to cover it anymore.
His father had always had a high libido, but he had never even dreamed of cheating on his wife. A couple of days after Alvaro’s 7th birthday, he paid a woman for sex for the first time. His woman just wasn’t enough.
She died in a plastic surgery operation gone wrong.
He died a year later from a STD, a kind of hepatitis.
Alvaro has never felt guilty about their deaths. It wasn’t him that put her on the operation table or didn’t care to use a condom.
Luckily for him his father’s sister Clara, an elderly woman who had a little fortune thanks to her then deceased husband agreed to take care of him. She was a very religious woman and she happened to have metahuman-detection powers she wasn’t aware of. That meant she soon realized Alvaro was special even if she never truly grasped how much, and she tried to do her best to show him a way to control his powers, to not cause mayhem wherever he went.
He’s spent a couple of years living with her now, and he’s gotten much better at controlling his powers. He also read everything he could about the supers- what they could do, what the government was using them for, how they took care of each other… he never told his aunt Clara his thoughts on his powers because he knew a religious woman like her would never understand that the powers he had were a gift, not a curse. He did learn some from her morals though and even if he has a lot of fun playing around with his powers he has decided he wants to try to do good with them, to help people.
Which is why one day he just went up to DELTA’s doorstep and told them he wanted to join them.
Character Affiliations: The D.E.L.T.A people don't really know what to do with him. He just went up to them one day and practically forced them to take him in, knowing fully well he could change things with his powers. So they agreed to train him with other teenagers, but they still don't let him in missions.
Additional Information: His powers come from Vice Inducement. He has the ability to see which of the 7 capital sins a person leans towards and when they are around him, said people would suddenly feel a... nudge, a sudden urge to indulge even more in those sins. A person with anger would suddenly feel that emotion overcoming them, one with lust will not be able to focus on anything other than that pleasure.
I will write up about it more soon and add it in here, but for now those are the basics.
