just an average human. very normal. ( source: trust me bro )

also a doctor! don't ask for credentials. can patch you up in a pinch. not a quack!!!

specializes in treating cursed vampires! forget that he was trained to hunt and kill them once upon a time ok that's irrelevant work experience.

takes his job very seriously.

annoying on purpose. will also cause problems on purpose.

his morals are a mess. awful bastard. ( affectionate )

probably cuts his own hair.

good at cooking and cleaning. likely to only whip these skills out if someone is so unbearably pathetic at doing them that he feels obligated to help.

*slaps roof of car* this bad boy can fit so much trauma in it.

survivor's guilt is one hell of a thing.

loathes self-sacrificing types, yet actively does it himself anyway.

has both the most ruthless sense of survival and most abysmal sense of self preservation at the same time. we love a walking contradiction.

" He might also have a cat with him; a feisty little thing. " A gloved finger then glides over the page to point at an angry white blob in the corner, as if that's supposed to be any help at all.

Ugh. Enough.

" Look— I hate being whisked away here as much as the next guy, but surely there's a more productive way to cope than wallowing in self pity and ruining my lunch. "

( ooc ) It is time. Like this post for a non-event related starter, capping at four! Expect them to range anywhere between a one-liner to a paragraph in length as I ease into things.

" I have no money, but I can offer you a free physical if you fill in as my meat-shield for a day! Whadaya say, big guy? "

✧ -- " You're quite a plain looking fellow aren't you? "

Unwelcome as this reunion is though, there's one other person Vanitas would loathe running into even more, and Olivier's presence has just amplified the fear of that happening tenfold.
