IC:
Name: Heracles Karpusi
Age: 28
Personality:
Loud – Not in the sense that Heracles screams everything he says, or is intentionally being obnoxious. Heracles is actually usually a very quiet person. He’s very social, but he moderates. In this regard he’s more of a listener than a speaker. But boy, when he gets going HE GETS LOUD. Heracles needs to be loud to be heard across his classrooms, but that’s okay because the passion and enthusiasm he puts into his lectures more than provide for that. Heracles can’t help but be excited when he talks about his homeland or anything that involves it, especially when it comes to sculpture. Expect him to wonder incredulously why his students aren’t as into the subject as he is.
Passionate – He’s very passionate about a lot of things. His greatest loves have been, for a long time, his work and his classes. He absolutely loves what he does and it goes hand-in-hand with his loudness in the classroom. He never gets tired of explaining things to people that may not get the material he teaches, and this makes him very approachable for some people.
Animated – The downfall of many students. His excitable nature wouldn’t work if he were not very animated, but he pulls it off well. Heracles is prone to running back and forth across the front of the room, explaining the subject through an exaggerated wave of hands, with comments of, “This is absolutely incredible!” with a massive smile on his face. In fact, he’s probably received more suggestions from his students to sit still more so they can concentrate, but he doesn’t expect that to happen anytime soon.
Focused – This man can talk about the same subject, nonstop, for hours. He always has something to say and he can stay on course without deviating (unless promptly and roughly). This also makes him able to concentrate on certain actions until the job is done, under the pretense of “If I get it done now, I can laze about later.” Unfortunately this is a double-edged sword. Heracles becomes so enthralled by a subject that he loses sight of the bigger picture. Flagging him down is one of the most difficult things a student will ever have to deal with, which is funny because he makes a joke out of distracting his students AWAY from him to “test their ability to pay attention.”
Distracted –In stark contrast to his situational focus, is the incredible ease with which he may be distracted. When cornered by a particularly uninteresting thing, Heracles loses his ability to focus on the task at hand and may find himself staring off into space while contemplating various philosophical questions. Or porn.
Snarky – Although Heracles will make it clear if he doesn’t like someone, he gets a lot of joy out of being subtle about his dislike of people. He makes a hobby out of dropping sarcastic, back-handed comments in the middle of conversing with people.
Meticulous – As an archaeologist, Heracles is very detail-oriented. He’s delicate and gentle, and very patient. He has a keen eye for small objects and will thoroughly investigate every bit of dirt to make sure he doesn’t miss even the tiniest of artifacts. This is also beneficial for his studying of art, because it takes a good eye to note down symbolism.
Organized – Chaotically organized. Heracles orders his house, classroom, and office in such a way only he knows where everything is. Many people would say he’s still messy, but he knows his surroundings so well he scarcely loses any of his possession.
Sexual – Most people don’t like to imagine their college professor being the kind of sex bomb Heracles is, but he really is. He’s attractive and intelligent and can be quite the romantic, but as an employed teacher, he has to keep his reputation, so he doesn’t go out solely for sex as often as people might expect.
Humorous – He thinks so, anyway. He makes awful jokes a lot, but if you’re into anthropology/archaeology you’ll probably laugh too.
Eccentric – It can be said of most people involved with anthropology that the lot of them tend to be quirky, and Heracles is no exception. He bends the rules every now and then (mostly by bringing a kitten to class or smarting off at his student if they make some dumb comment) but a large part of his eccentricity comes from the sheer amount of effort he puts into his job.
Social – He’ll go out and drink with buddies and the like, but don’t expect to see him at anything huge. He’s sociable, but he doesn’t make friends with everyone he meets and tends to pick one or two people that he’ll trust and hang out with above everyone else.
Three Choices For Positions:
(A) Former Ace of Diamonds
(B) Seven of Clubs
(C) Jack of Spades
EXPLAIN Your Three Choices:
(A) Former Ace of Diamonds
This position is subject to change depending on how potential plotting goes, but because Heracles doesn't have a canon position in the Cardverse I don't actually have a real strong preference for any of my choices (thought I do have a black account already, I can easily change it if you feel Herc belongs elsewhere.) The backstory is a work in progress and I don't really have a reason for him being an ace, except that Greece has (in the past) had a reputation of powerful warriors, strategists, and underdog victories. Out of jealousy of the king Francis (Heracles had grown to love the former queen Estelle and felt somehow taking out Francis would open the position and allow him to have her for himself) but his plans were eventually found out by curious servants in the castle who "accidentally" stumbled upon his well-hidden plans. Rather than be killed he was thrown into the Underground, and his role in the story begins when his descent into the unknown starts.
(B) Seven of Clubs
Again, Greece has a history of military prowess, but his current position economically leaves a lot to be desired. As a soldier he is dedicated and protective of his people and his companions, and intense pride in his kingdom despite all of its low points means he will be a soldier of possibly high rank. Unfortunately he can be quite lazy and he's a bit of an insomniac, getting through the days with many naps from morning to night, so it would be a good idea to assign him some kind of assistant or squire to make sure he wakes up on time. I imagine Heracles comes from a military family, so this would be sort of the "Family business." He was pushed to be a soldier or knight because of his parents, and he has a lot resting on his shoulders now with all the things people expect of him now.
(C) Jack of Spades
There's an intelligent, thoughtful, and collected side to Heracles as well. He's the kind of man who will think on a decision long before he makes it, and he's always imagining the multiple consequences for any one action. His incredible patience makes him a fitting helpful to the royals, but with specific buttons that can easily be pressed to set him off there's always the risk of his more spiteful, stubborn, and angry side getting in the way of his duty. Overall he's willing to help those that desperately need him, but he has no patience for Kings and Queens that don't take what he says seriously.
