Temper Vale
Apparent Age:
29
Appearance:
Temper is rather average, the sort of person one would easily pass by in a crowd without a second look. His dark brown hair is kept relatively short. His eyes are his one remarkable feature, a bright, piercing blue, especially set against his pale complexion. He's on the taller side of average height, just shy of 5'11" or so. At first glance, there is nothing at all intimidating about him. But that particular observation falls to pieces after a few minutes in his presence. Perhaps it's something about how he holds himself, a quiet sense of confidence that seems to be unshakable. His face is most often schooled into a calm mask, his expressions very subdued, often just shadows of themselves.
Temper is meticulous in his choice of clothing, well-dressed, but also tending to blend into the general trends of the setting he finds himself in. This said, he is very fastidious and neat in his outfits, and will choose more formal clothes rather than opting for more casual styles.
The main feature to watch out for with Temper is his voice. Though he tends to speak quietly, there is an undeniable power, a compelling tone to his voice. It is smooth and musical and very easy to listen to, a soothing tenor. Of course, this may all have something to do with one of his main abilities being focused through his voice.
Personality:
Temper appears at first glance to be extremely calm and terribly polite. It is very rare for him to visibly lose his temper or show anything more than brief annoyance. Even his more positive emotions tend to be subdued. He is very difficult to rattle; even interruptions to his carefully laid plans are typically dealt with without much more than a brief pause and a mental adjustment. Much of this is a carefully held facade; control is exceptionally important to him -- control of things, others, situations, but most crucially, control of himself.
Beneath this tranquil veneer, however, Temper does not hesitate in actions that others may consider cruel. He sees the world as little more than something to be studied, to be judged for how it can fit into his purposes. Although the concepts of affection and attachment are largely alien to him; he feels at least some connection and protectiveness to the other members of his "clan." Tim he trusts to fulfill his purposes with efficiency. Chari he views as troubled and in need of significant guidance. Chassie he regards as the child she is. And Gene, he meets his needling and sarcasm as though he's a reluctant participant in an ongoing battle of wits.
Outside of these ties, he views others only in how they are of interest to him and how they fit the purpose he was created to fulfill. He respects power and intelligence, but even this respect is capable of being pushed aside for the benefit of his curiosity or his greater plans. The fact that others may suffer because of his actions is not a primary concern; on the contrary, it's most likely to amuse him and is sometimes his motivation in general. However, if you manage to get his attention and keep it, he is not not above viewing individuals as pets of a sort and playing favourites. In fact, he can be genuinely pleasant and congenial when given reason.
This said, Temper is quite pleased to have conversations with people who are interesting and capable conversation partners. He enjoys talking, if there is something to speak of, but does not have any tolerance for poor manners. Yelling or insults are typically met with little more than a polite dismissal and an ending of the conversation. But if there is information to be gleaned or emotions to be explored, his attention will almost certainly be held. He is curious by nature, though this curiosity often manifests itself with a childlike disregard for ramifications for others.
Temper does have a sense of humour, though it is quite dark. Outright laughter is rare, but has been known to occur when he's thoroughly enjoying himself. As much as he enjoys inflicting his designs and games on people, he's also happy to sit back and watch people tear themselves apart in the aftermath. He's seen it too often, after all, not to appreciate it as a part of human and often inhuman nature. Just as he can be noticeably happy, he can also experience a dark and very vibrant rage. This is even rarer than the laughter, however, and results in a total loss of the control he so carefully cultivates. It is explosive and dangerous for nearly anyone in the vicinity, friend or foe.
