CONTACT/TEAM PREFERENCES

A comment separate from your app with your name, email, and team preferences. Making it a separate comment lets us keep it screened, thus keeping your team preferences private.

For the time zone field, feel free to make a note if working bizarre hours makes you effectively on a different time zone than stated.

"Team preferences" is a catch-all field for any thoughts you might have regarding your character's placement. For example, you might want a team that will put up with your character's sociopathy, or has a certain "feel" to it, or is friendly to your time zone, or maybe you don't think your character looks good in orange, and so on! This is also the spot to let us know if there are teams you DON'T want to be on. While you're not required to put anything here, don't say you have no preference unless you really, honestly have NOTHING to say on the subject! If you've already apped and realized you'd forgotten something? Make another comment!

Character Name: Kotomine Kirei
Canon: Fate/Stay Night
Reference Link: http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/Kirei_Kotomine

Character History: Kirei was basically a very nice pious boy who threw himself into religious studies. And then threw himself into working for the Church. And then threw himself into working as an executor for the Church. And then because his dad asked him to threw himself into being the pawn of Tohsaka Tokiomi in an epic Heroic Pokemon battle for the Holy Grail. Along the way he got seduced by an ancient King. This seduction began the path to self-discovery! It was just that Kirei's path of self-discovery was paved with fucking everyone else over. He and his ancient king romantic partner tried to get the Holy Grail (ultimate grant wishing device!) and instead just killed a lot of people.

But it wasn't a complete failure! They shacked up for ten years and then tried again to win their magical world destroying glory cup. Sadly it wasn't meant to be thanks to some meddling kids. Basically the next time the war for the Holy Grail comes around Kirei pulls a lot of strings and fucks around a lot and tries to unleash the All Evils in the world so he can ask it a question. Pretty much doesn't quite go as planned and he dies.

Personality: Kirei has been "deficient at birth". He gets joy from people's supreme unhappiness and basically finds no joy or satisfaction from people's happiness. Basically he has a giant boner for being a terrible person. For a good portion of his life (like 20 years) he tried really hard to be a good person. He repressed his sadistboner hard and lived by the principles of the Church. He denied himself any kind of pleasure and basically twisted his world view into PLEASURE=BAD. Then he got seduced by an ancient king. This started Kirei down his path of self acceptance.

In short, Kirei is a self-actualized awful person. Being awful isn't because he had some traumatic backstory or anything, he is just naturally awful! He can't really be made to be un-awful because being awful is his 'true heart' more or less.

After coming more into himself Kirei has mellowed out. He isn't as rigid as he used to be and even makes things such as facial expressions. He is generally 'polite' in a Captain Passive Aggressive way. He doesn't try to be nice so much as he acts within certain parameters that he considers acceptable for a given situation. He's not really a serial killer so much as someone who gives off the impression of being the guy who is pulling the strings. And, well, he has absolutely no qualms in feeding orphans to ~~his boyfriend~~ other people.

Luckily Kirei is also defined by being fairly passive. He's not really someone who runs around seeking misfortune so much as stacking it up when it comes around and continually moving forward to realize his 'answer'. His primary drive is trying to figure out if it is all right to live as he is ~~a completely terrible person~~ since the idea of his whole existence runs contradictory to his faith and upbringing.

But mostly he's just a passive aggressive dick that finds your suffering delicious.

Writing Sample:
01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?
Kotomine Kirei. That is my name after all. On the occasion you are looking for something more formal you could call me 'Father', but that might be awkward for some of you. And I would hate for us to start off with any awkward feelings between us.

02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?
I do. Not only do socks protect your feet from chafing but they help minimize unpleasant odors as well.

03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?
That's difficult to say, being a man of faith I've often found it more productive to hold my tongue. So, perhaps, a few days.

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?
No, I wouldn't say that. Generally people are somewhat unsuspecting and naive.

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?
I have to say I've never thought much about domestication, but I'm sure a caged lion would be charming.

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?
What an odd question. The answer would probably depend on what you consider 'functionally incapacitated.' Regardless, I'll be a good sport and say yes.

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?
I'm not a big fan of sweets, but if the company is right I'll say a knife and a fork.

08. Do you trust yourself?
What a question. Naturally. I'd be a poor priest if I didn't.

09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.
Ah, but once I share it then it immediate negates its value in response to this question, doesn't it?

10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?
Hardly.
