[fancypost bgcolor=;border:0px;width:350px;text-align:justify;font-family:arial;font-size:8pt;][b][ NAME ] "I have the meaningless alias Johannes Angelicus."
[ NICKNAME ] "A nickname is something given to someone to describe a part of their unique persona. Next?"
[ AGE ] "I am twenty eight." _{get me out}

[ GENDER ] "I will make the assumption that you mean sex. My sex is male."
[ GENDER IDENTITY ] "My identity does not matter. It does not exist. It is not a concrete fact."
[ ID ] "Copycat."

It is clear these questions make Johannes uncomfortable, as they, more then others, when asking for the truth, seem to lend him to stammering, flitting, shifty eyes. Each time he regains his composure before continuing, attempting and succeeding to be as monotonous, simple, truthful as possible. Anything less would be a disgrace.
[hr]

[ HEIGHT] "Somewhere in the 5'8'', 6'0'' range?" 5'10''.
[ WEIGHT ] "Oh, I'm a right whale, I am." 160. Slightly pudgy, broad shouldered, fair muscle.
[ EYES ] "Blue as the sky!" oh. he isn't lying on this one. Ahem.
[ HAIR ] "...Hair is so fickle. By the time I finish answering it'll be different." Again, not really a lie. His hair is naturally, however, a thick, coarse, gingery brunette.
[ SCARS ] "Here, there....I don't have many friends. Friends care about consistency. Enemies love inconsistency." He's peppered with small ones from fights and brawls.

However...this is easier, for him. These are things that are solid fact, unchangeable--or disguiseable, but still, real and hard as the Earth or the Moon, and Johannes can answer these however he likes--as any man, any woman, who might also possess these traits. He has a sense of humor now, sarcasm and snark bleeding through his smirks.

[fancypost bgcolor=;border:0px;width:350px;text-align:justify;font-family:arial;font-size:8pt;]
[ EXTRA MODIFICATIONS ] "Whatever I need. Hair. Piercings. Tattoos."
all temporary.

[ OUTLOOK ON SELF ] "I. What do I think of. Of myself. I. I--" He can't. He won't answer this question. What does Johannes think of himself? It's not that he's hiding things--it's that he doesn't know. He doesn't have an identity of his own, or at least is convinced that he doesn't--which really amounts to the same thing. He cannot bear exposing himself, but he also is genuinely stumped. What does he think of himself, who is 'himself'--and he's not a philosopher. At least, his 'true' self isn't. His true self isn't much of anything, as far as he knows, and he's not that.
[/fancypost][hr]
[fancypost bgcolor=;border:0px;width:350px;text-align:justify;font-family:arial;font-size:8pt;][ TRAITS ] "Oh? Shall I list all five hundred seventy three?" The number is completely fabricated, but he has documented the traits he can utilize in his obsessiveness. To actually list those most common--dominant--would be irrelevant as it would be based entirely on luck of the draw--who he has had to impersonate the longest with no real cadence on who he is.
To look into that, there are a few things we can extrapolate from what we know.

OCD. Self-denial, of some form. Meticulous. Needy.
[ INDIVIDUAL PERSONALITY ] the copycat killer takes his name very seriously. the foundation of personality is having prominent experiences in life, and johannes was never able to incorporate any of his memories into communicable traits as most are—simply put, johannes does not have his own personality. he picks and chooses from others, almost like a sorting machine, and matches these traits together to adapt to different situations. many are frightened by the way he tends to mirror them in conversation and physical interactions, but he has no other choice... without his reflections, he would be an empty shell.

questionable history has also made johannes vulnerable to being blamed for things he is either very much responsible for or not at all; in any case, he would rather not be in the spotlight, whether it is taking credit for his own success and achievements or for committing a heinous crime. he has mastered the art of refocusing conversations and shifting himself from the eyes of others.

he is very meticulous, catching every flyaway hair and every misplaced frame, but his obsessions are not limited to physical flaws. he will pick apart your personality and even tug at his own locks when he has a thought uncalled for, unexpected, or intrusive. his brain has become quite uniform after years of self-punishment... if his speech goes out of order or if he stutters, he must start all over, he must repeat it again and again. if he takes a wrong step, he must walk back and do it over. johannes has trouble not losing focus.~thanks to foxy for this, sooo much.

[ TRADE MARK ] "I kill to mimic others who've killed before me. Why draw the line with a trade mark?" He mimics the trademark. Almost the most important of his 'style'--he doesn't want to get caught, obviously.
[/fancypost][hr]
[fancypost bgcolor=;border:0px;width:350px;text-align:justify;font-family:arial;font-size:8pt;][ STRENGTHS ] "I'm good. People get arrested for my kills. No one knows how to detect me."
[ WEAKNESSES ] "..." He doesn't see it as one, and perhaps it isn't, his seeming lack of persona--well, no one knows if he has a sense of self or not. Every scrap of emotion seems to come from someone else, and that is certainly often helpful. But some would argue that it makes his life meaningless, depressing.
A weakness on the roleplayer's part is that felix will be unable to resist giving him some sort of 'real' persona because it is drama and romance and fluff and sadness and that is something felix probably will need in this.
[ FEARS ] "Me? Nothing." Being exposed. Interuppted. Losing focus. Anyone forcing him to be 'himself'--something that happened a lot in his childhood.

[ SEXUALITY ] "If sex equals gains, I'll have intercourse with whosoever I need to."
[ TURN ONS ] "Ha. It's nothing but a job."
[ TURN OFFS ] "It's a job. Why would I care?"

[fancypost bgcolor=;border:0px;width:350px;text-align:justify;font-family:arial;font-size:8pt;][ PLOTS ] Well, any sort of forced attempt to draw him out as a real person would drive him into a frenzy.

[ OTHER ] Johannes is, as you may have ascertained, not fully 'functioning' in all mental faculties. He's intelligent enough, oh, he's certainly smart--but one would realize that there is something quite wrong, as well--why would someone be always imitating others? And quite literally 'always'? It's a rare disorder known in the medical world as EDS, or, Environmental Dependency Syndrome--dependent on the environment to give him clues for how to respond, as his mind cannot truly make it's own decisions on what to do or how to do it--he literally has no personality in that sense. Do not confuse this for having no emotion--though he does not know or have the capability to show emotion in his own, unique way, he can feel fear and love and pain and anger and joy, at their most fundamental levels, serotonin, adrenaline--but how he expresses them is dependent on who he can latch onto, who he can mimic. As a child, he was, understandably, mocked and disliked--who wants someone to copy them? All the time? Most children get it in their heads that repeating an adult is unpleasant, but mimicking every movement and emotional reaction is even more irritating, when there's no off switch.

Why does he kill? Well, as a reject of sorts from society, anyway, he is one to kill with a vendetta--those who've hurt him in the past. His EDS helps him here, certainly, or else he'd be too easily traced to the kills.
