While the overall application was good, we would like to request an extended personality— what are Grell's goals, hopes, and dreams? What are some of her beliefs? What does she think about herself? Why is Grell's favorite color red? Elaborate on the two different sides of Grell's personality, and her human form. These are just a few examples.
If you respond to this comment with your revisions, we'll look them over ASAP! You'll have until 03/29.

[ Personality ] :
Grell, while a man, considers herself very much female. This causes her to be considered a “trans woman,” wishing to not only be female in mind and spirit but in body as well. Grell considers herself to be a very beautiful woman (even though many people disagree) and tries her best to behave as such. Because of this she tends to be vain about her outward appearance. She doesn't like any harm to come to her face because it will disfigure her beautiful looks. She hates it when people insult her looks and tell her she is anything but beautiful or female. She also tends to hit on every good looking guy she sees and tends “deflate” as such with they turn her down or insult her. Another wish of hers is to carry the child of a handsome man. Because of this, she tends to mourn the fact that she cannot have children – of course to which it is often pointed out by both co-workers and those she fights against that she is in fact a he. It was due to this that Grell joined Angelina Durless in becoming Jack the Ripper, taking on a human form of a clumsy butler.
Because Grell thinks of herself as a female, this causes her to behave very flamboyantly. The shinigami believes herself to be a sort of actress. As such she tends to be over dramatic and behaves as if she is performing on a stage. Often she refers to events or actions in theater terms and constantly speaks in double entendre. She is very exaggerated in most everything she does, especially when it comes to how she feels toward someone or something. She has even gone so far in her first fight against Sebastian to somewhat bastardize lines from Shakespeare, likening them to Romeo and Juliet. She believes them to be star-crossed lovers, though Sebastian is disgusted by the very thought.
However with all the theatrics and word play, Grell is actually a very blunt person. It doesn't matter if the person is kind or not to her, she will tell it like it is. Most often noted is when it pertains to a person's appearance and/or personality towards her. She makes it clear if she approves or disapproves of the person, and if she really doesn't like them she will let her disdain be known.
Grell is very masochistic and sadistic. She is thought of as a glutton for punishment as when she always tries to go near certain people and gets hurt because she does. More often than not it's because she ends up fighting the person and getting harmed. An ally of hers also tends to treat her badly and yet she still flirts with him as well. It's even been said that when Sebastian talks about aesthetics, it turns on her sadistic side. She also loves the color red. It is unknown as to the reason why she loves the color. Grell has loved the it since well before she met Angelina Durless. However, it is because of this love of the color that she is believed to be blood thirsty. This could also be because of the fact that she has said in the presence of others that she loves the color of fresh blood.
But there is another side to Grell all together. Brought out mostly when she takes her human form, she has shown that she is has many insecurities. She tries to hide these with her theatrics, but it is believed that she ultimately fears rejection. Bringing attention to herself, it helps her to feel that she important and allows her to be seen. As seen many times, she also messes things up in both human and shinigami forms. While trying to hide and flirt her way out of the trouble she's caused, it's been seen that she knows she messed up and tries to correct it. And while she may not be suicidal as she indicates while in her human butler form, she is effected by the results of what wrongs she's done.
While her human appearance is more of a facade than anything, Grell plays the part well (when someone hasn't caught her already). She plays the role of an introverted, clumsy butler. She is quiet and reserved, staying off to the side mostly and really only flailing when she has done something wrong. She shows that she is very self-conscious, saying that every time she makes a mistake that she's unworthy to live and proceeds to try and kill herself (which of course is difficult with her being a Death God). This also factors into the fact that as a the human butler there tended to be a lack of enthusiasm for the life she had, which appeared as an extreme form of depression. She also showed an obsession with death, even going so far as to design the Phantomhive bushes into the shape of skulls. She highly praises Sebastian as the human butler of Angelina Durless, wanting to be the butler that he is but ultimately failing. Whenever she tried to help around the Phantomhive household, she would make mistakes which would have to be corrected by Sebastian.

[ Player Name ] : Silk
[ Personal DW ] :![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
silkweaver
[ Age ] : 18
[ Timezone ] : EST
[ Other Characters ] : none
[ Character's Name ] : Gale
[ Character's Age ] : Technically around 5, but physically and mentally, in his twenties.
[ Series ] : Digital Devil Saga
[ Canon Point ] : The end of the first game, just before appearing in the real world.
[ History ] :
(history on Gale's wiki page)
(More complete history on Serph's wiki page)
[ Personality ] : Gale is the strategist of the Embryon, and his personality reflects that. He is quick to assess facts, and acknowledge them. He easily accepts the hindrance of the Embryon's small size, for example, and concentrates on finding plans that hide that weakness, and allow them to compete with the other tribes in the Junkyard. He is also quick to understand what is happening in a battle, and to act on that knowledge- in the fight against Varin (Colonel Beck), he is the first to properly notice the invisibility he is using, and to attempt to fight back. Even when situations seem improbable or nonsensical, he accepts the evidence presented to him, and considers it in his plans. Even when he does not understand the emotions the others are gaining, he notices the changes in them. He also recognizes the significance of these changes- although he still is without feelings, he is the one to explain to the other members of the Embryon that emotions are the reason that the tribes are beginning to disobey the law of the Karma Temple. He does not understand the changes that are happening around him, but he does everything he can to understand them, in order to be the best strategist to the Embryon that he can.
As strategist, logic is the thing that is foremost in Gale's mind. He has no qualms in betraying other tribes if it will bring the Embryon closer to Nirvana, and in fact most of his plans utilize this, since it is clear that the Embryon will not be able to reach Nirvana through brute force. Neither does he see see anything wrong with personal betrayal, at first- even after witnessing Bat betray his tribe and almost steal Sera from the Embryon, he comments that Bat would make a better ally than Cielo, who was the one who let Sera get captured in the first place, despite his best efforts. And, when Sera's singing helps him to regain control of his Atma and prevents him from eating Cielo, he is not thankful, but is rather curious about her abilities and somewhat suspicious of them. This cold attitude only changes once he gains his emotions.
Because it takes him so long to awaken to his emotions, Gale is in some ways alienated from the other members of the Embryon for much of his canon, simply because he is not operating on the same wavelength as the others (though the fact that he is not one of the Sera-created AIs may have something to do with this, as well). His adherence to logic rather than switching to operating on feelings puts him at odds with the increasingly compulsive members of the tribe- particularly Argilla and Cielo, who disagree with his objective attitude. He, in turn, is rather harsh on the inconsistencies and weaknesses he sees their new emotions bringing. Perhaps because of Serph's quietness, and perhaps because Serph is leader, there is not much tension between him and the protagonist. Although Gale is dubious of the changes Sera and the Atma have brought to the Junkyard, he trusts in his leader's judgement, and later hers, when she informs him that Serph and the others are in danger. Gale is the spokesman of the Embryon, and although at times he may seem to run the show, he will always be willing to defer to Serph's judgement, (though he will always advise what he believes is the best course of action). In the meantime, he serves in a position that Serph has delegated to him. At first, this is largely because questioning a leader is unthinkable in the Junkyard, but as time goes on and he gains his emotions, he feels respect for Serph, in the same way that he comes to view the other members of the Embryon as his comrades, and cares for them.
Gale's "awakening" to his emotions is rather different from what the others in the Embryon go through. Rather than happening once, abruptly, it almost happens several times, only for him to switch almost immediately back to apathy. It is only after the death of another tribe leader, Lupa of the Wolves, that he begins to change. In fact, Lupa is almost entirely responsible for the kind of person he becomes. It is Lupa who tells him of honor, and impresses him with it. Coming across Lupa's kills in the waterways shows him that his honor is not a weakness- he defeats everyone in his path- nor does it dull his ability to think, for he is the one who points out to the Embryon that there are no children in the Junkyard, though they know what a child is. This realization has such an impact on him that he begins to adopt Lupa's ideas of honor for his own, and when Lupa dies, he tells him that Lupa's honor will not die with him- that it will live on in Gale, and the child that Lupa told him of. In short, he completely abandons the underhanded tactics he was willing to use before to destroy the other tribes. Furthermore, his interactions with Lupa completely destroy his faith in the Law of the Karma Temple. Even before Lupa's death, he questions the law that states that the heads of all other tribes must be defeated in order for them to ascend for Nirvana, and says that if the Karma Temple will not make an exception for Lupa, he will destroy it without hesitation. Upon Lupa's death, he swears to get revenge upon the Karma Temple, for (however indirectly) leading to the death of the man he admired. Where before Gale simply did what was expected of him, now, he had a purpose- to carry on Lupa's honor and message, and to give meaning to his death.
Even through his anger at Lupa's death, however, he is not completely bloodthirsty and out for revenge. When confronted with Angel, the one who introduced the Atma and who commanded them to slaughter, he does not attack her or hate her. In fact, when the Karma Temple is crumbling, he helps her, rather than to leave her to die in the Junkyard as it is destroyed. Some of this may be remnants of the personality of the real man David that are inside of him. However, Gale the AI is not a copy of David the human in the way that Serph and the others were copies of actual people.
[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :
Serph, like the other members of the Junkyard, has an Atma, a demon contained within him. His Atma is known as Vayu, and Is indicated by the Twister mark on his left calf. When he is transformed into Vayu, he gains increased strength stamina, and resistance to wind (called Force) magics, as well as the ability to use magic. However, in this form, he is weak to electricity-based attacks. Vayu also has blades on its feet that it uses to attack.
The spells Vayu can use are as follows:
Zandyne: A strong wind (Force) spell that targets one enemy.
Mazandyne: A strong wind (Force) spell that targets multiple enemies.
Force Drain: Defends against Force (wind) magic for a short amount of time.
Media: moderately increases the health of all allies.
Tarukaja: Increases physical strength of all allies.
Makanda: Decreases an enemy's magical strength.
Tarunda: Decreases an enemy's physical strength.
Analyze: reveals enemy's health, magical ability, and any elemental affiliation.
As a human, Gale is not as strong as his Atma form, and does not have the ability to use magic. However, he is skilled in the use of firearms, particularly an assault rifle. In addition, he is able to fight with a knife hidden in his right boot- a particular movement of his foot brings out the blade, allowing him to enhance his kicks in a rather deadly way.
Gale has the potential to go into a form known as Berserk form, during which his eyes turn gold, and his right leg transforms into Vayu's. The transformation happens during times with strong 'Solar Noise', and during it, he literally goes berserk, with little control, and no magic. However, this kind of transformation happens only during the Solar Noise!
[ Other Important Facts ] :
Serph, like the other members of the Embryon, needs to eat other people in order to stay alive. If he does not, he will lose control of Vayu, and the demon will rampage. This rampage can be stalled, up to a certain point, by the singing of a girl known as Sera, but without her in Vatheon, he will regularly need to eat the bodies of other humans in order to remain in control.
[ Sample ] :
[The SFC turns on, and it only takes Gale a moment to realize it. He did most of his fiddling with it before turning the video on, so it only takes him a moment to get to his message. He's sharp and to the point about it all, just as he's been since he arrived. This is a completely new situation, and there's a lot he needs to learn about it before he's satisfied that what he knows is enough to advise the Embryon.]
My name is Gale, of the Embryon tribe. [He tilts his head slightly, so that the stripes of orange on the side of his hood are visible. Then it's back to business.] I am searching for the son of Lupa. I was told that he would be carrying an olive leaf. I carry a message for him, from his father.
I also request information on the arrivals to this place. Specifically, any seeming patterns in arrival from particular worlds, or patterns in connections between those who arrive. What is the average number of arrivals?

[ Personality ] : Gale is the strategist of the Embryon, and his personality reflects that. He is quick to assess facts, and acknowledge them. He easily accepts the hindrance of the Embryon's small size, for example, and concentrates on finding plans that hide that weakness, and allow them to compete with the other tribes in the Junkyard. He is also quick to understand what is happening in a battle, and to act on that knowledge- in the fight against Varin (Colonel Beck), he is the first to properly notice the invisibility he is using, and to attempt to fight back. Even when situations seem improbable or nonsensical, he accepts the evidence presented to him, and considers it in his plans. Even when he does not understand the emotions the others are gaining, he notices the changes in them. He also recognizes the significance of these changes- although he still is without feelings, he is the one to explain to the other members of the Embryon that emotions are the reason that the tribes are beginning to disobey the law of the Karma Temple. He does not understand the changes that are happening around him, but he does everything he can to understand them, in order to be the best strategist to the Embryon that he can.
As strategist, logic is the thing that is foremost in Gale's mind. He has no qualms in betraying other tribes if it will bring the Embryon closer to Nirvana, and in fact most of his plans utilize this, since it is clear that the Embryon will not be able to reach Nirvana through brute force. Neither does he see see anything wrong with personal betrayal, at first- even after witnessing Bat betray his tribe and almost steal Sera from the Embryon, he comments that Bat would make a better ally than Cielo, who was the one who let Sera get captured in the first place, despite his best efforts. And, when Sera's singing helps him to regain control of his Atma and prevents him from eating Cielo, he is not thankful, but is rather curious about her abilities and somewhat suspicious of them. This cold attitude only changes once he gains his emotions.
Because it takes him so long to awaken to his emotions, Gale is in some ways alienated from the other members of the Embryon for much of his canon, simply because he is not operating on the same wavelength as the others (though the fact that he is not one of the Sera-created AIs may have something to do with this, as well). His adherence to logic rather than switching to operating on feelings puts him at odds with the increasingly compulsive members of the tribe- particularly Argilla and Cielo, who disagree with his objective attitude. He, in turn, is rather harsh on the inconsistencies and weaknesses he sees their new emotions bringing. Perhaps because of Serph's quietness, and perhaps because Serph is leader, there is not much tension between him and the protagonist. Although Gale is dubious of the changes Sera and the Atma have brought to the Junkyard, he trusts in his leader's judgement, and later hers, when she informs him that Serph and the others are in danger. Gale is the spokesman of the Embryon, and although at times he may seem to run the show, he will always be willing to defer to Serph's judgement, (though he will always advise what he believes is the best course of action). In the meantime, he serves in a position that Serph has delegated to him. At first, this is largely because questioning a leader is unthinkable in the Junkyard, but as time goes on and he gains his emotions, he feels respect for Serph, in the same way that he comes to view the other members of the Embryon as his comrades, and cares for them.
Gale's "awakening" to his emotions is rather different from what the others in the Embryon go through. Rather than happening once, abruptly, it almost happens several times, only for him to switch almost immediately back to apathy. It is only after the death of another tribe leader, Lupa of the Wolves, that he begins to change. In fact, Lupa is almost entirely responsible for the kind of person he becomes. It is Lupa who tells him of honor, and impresses him with it. Coming across Lupa's kills in the waterways shows him that his honor is not a weakness- he defeats everyone in his path- nor does it dull his ability to think, for he is the one who points out to the Embryon that there are no children in the Junkyard, though they know what a child is. This realization has such an impact on him that he begins to adopt Lupa's ideas of honor for his own, and when Lupa dies, he tells him that Lupa's honor will not die with him- that it will live on in Gale, and the child that Lupa told him of. In short, he completely abandons the underhanded tactics he was willing to use before to destroy the other tribes. Furthermore, his interactions with Lupa completely destroy his faith in the Law of the Karma Temple. Even before Lupa's death, he questions the law that states that the heads of all other tribes must be defeated in order for them to ascend for Nirvana, and says that if the Karma Temple will not make an exception for Lupa, he will destroy it without hesitation.

In fact, when the Karma Temple is crumbling, he helps her, rather than to leave her to die in the Junkyard as it is destroyed.
