• Missing his entire lower jaw; It's been replaced with what looks like bone or metal... definitely not human though.

COLOR AESTHETICS: Black, Red, Dark Grey
ELEMENT: Blood, Shadows

PERSONALITY:
ALIGNMENT: Social Evil
PERSONALITY:

• Introvert
• Medium Maintenance
• Seems a touch emotionally closed off, doesn't talk much, but when he does, he's very charismatic to a worrying degree; Easily angered, but tends to rarely show it. Subtly manipulative, vengeful, violent if secretly. At the end of the day though, he's rather suave if a bit intimidating to the average person he speaks with.
  
  Truth be told, despite how difficult it is to get into Algernon's heart, once a person is there, Algernon is one of the most loving, dedicated people on the planet. He's got a big heart for specific people...

TEMPER: Quiet storm; He rarely shows his anger externally - he's more likely to manipulate or scare a person indirectly or as privately as is possible. Unless someone's doing something horrendous against him, his business, or the rare person he cares about, he's not going to show his temper immediately.
MANNERISMS: Rubbing at his jaw bolts / connection; Usually has a cigarette, cigar, or a hay straw sticking out from his mouth.
HABITS: Usually moving one or several of those rosary beads around in his fingers or rubbing at the cross when thinking heavily.

Conversational Notes:
SPEAKING: Doesn't really do small talk, tends not to waste words, and just gets straight to the point. Blunt, doesn't care to dumb himself down or use larger words to make himself look more intelligent. He just... partakes in conversation and that's it.

SWEARS: At random. Doesn't really reserve swears for specific moods - he could be neutral and swear like a sailor or swear with specific enunciation to prove a point when angry... he just uses swears like any other word.

QUIRKS: Actually ridiculously poetic when he decides he likes someone...

MOTIVATIONS: ... Spite?
GOALS:
DREAMS: To resurrect his late wife, cut the mob boss shit out, and just... live the rest of his life happily with the girl he loves.

SIN: Wrath
VIRTUE: Patience

SECRETS:

• Algernon does not discuss his history prior to becoming undead. He keeps his history a secret from... everyone.
• His wife's body - Algernon found her grave, dug her up, and has been magically preserving her body while hiring... pretty much any and every healer he can find to try and resurrect her... It hasn't happened yet, but he won't stop looking. Only about 3 people know where this body is, as they're hired to make sure no one else takes it.

VICES: Vengeance
ADDICTIONS: Shadowbound Spirit - what once helped take his physical pains away has now turned into constant whispers that only serve to make his bad days even worse.

FEARS / PHOBIAS: Exorcisms, Light magic, Priests and Paladins / Similar, Void whispers
MENTAL ILLNESSES: PTSD, Some sociopathic tendencies

LIKES: Grey days / Storms, Power, Religious paraphernalia / imagery, Teeth..., Blood / Gore / Viscera, Undead animals (especially cats)
DISLIKES: Heat / Bright sunny days, Religious teachings / cults / etc, Priests and Paladins as a general rule, Cultists, People who think they're just and in the right even when they kill people - At least Ash doesn't dance around his moral wrong doings*.

*Ash dislikes people who think they're doing no wrong whatsoever; Ash understands the "net positive" way of thinking (something he personally believes with some of his own sins) but finding oneself absolutely free of blame or wrong doings is stupid to him.

HOBBIES: Cooking, Light farming (herbs, flowers)
DOWNTIME: Rarely has a free day; If he takes one, it's for his bad pain days and tends to spend as much of his day sleeping as possible.

SKILLS: Light Magic: Algernon can use light magic, but rarely does he unless for defense from other light magic users; He was trained in light magic in life, and due to memories with it, uses it as little as possible. Shadowbound Magics: This is very explosive and tends to hurt Algernon as well, so tries to use it in battle as little as possible and only in extreme situations; These tend to manifest as inky purple-black shadows / shadow tendrils for Algernon. Nice Shot: Because of Algernon's disliking, for whatever reason, of using the magics he's trained in on a regular basis, he's gotten very skilled at using just a nice, regular old gun. He's actually a pretty good shot.

TALENTS: Prehensile Tongue: This is a talent that came with Algernon's undeath, for whatever reason, as his tongue... grew? He honestly doesn't know why his tongue is so long since becoming undead, but hey, it's a fun party trick for freaking people out when he feels like it. Unhinged: Due to lacking a natural lower jaw, Algernon can actually open his jaw up much further than he should be able to... that being said, he can eat things much larger than he should be able to... Again, tends to use this to scare people for shits and giggles when he's in the mood.

Rosary Beads: This specific set actually belonged to Algernon's late wife - he never goes without them on or near his person. There's nothing magically special about them, nor were they made by anyone of note... but regardless, they mean the absolute world to Algernon.
