DESCRIPTION:
→ A very lanky man with piercings in his nose and his left ear, Pancake's appearance certainly draws the eye if his voice doesn't first. He's fit and well toned with a scarred face. His hair is rarely not covered by his blue cap, though without the headgear it's revealed that it's a dirty, short and very messy brown. His eyes are a shade of dark green that hold a certain hint of danger within them. His skin is a lot less pale than one would expect considering his two large run-ins with death, but in fact it's a shade very full of vitality. However, one rarely notices him before noticing two other features of himself; his voice and his automail.

He speaks loudly and quickly even when he isn't shouting, but he usually is simply because he loves noise. He wants you to know that he's in the room and that he's ready to shout and scream if he has to to be noticed. Not that he needs to; the four long grey carbonfibre tendrils that stem out of his back are eye-catching by themselves. They often coil, unusual considering the nature of the material, but that doesn't make them flexible. In fact, they can be quite clunky and unweildy at times, and he's had to have them repaired on several occasions. He often uses them to walk, including up the side of buildings and on ceilings. He likes to clamber, but this is a slow process and he'll often resort to running by foot if the situation calls for it.

...........................................................................

PERSONALITY:
→ Pancake is a name one would reasonably find quite laughable. His attitude towards others is anything but.

Pancake is a narcissist in just about every respect. It's not just that he's the centre of his own world, but that his world has barely anything BUT him. His one and only motivation in the world is to have fun and live long. A somewhat problematic goal considering that Pancake takes such a great pleasure from proving just how amazingly powerful he is, mostly through brute strength. Fighting is very much his life; no exception of victim or the severity of how much damage he causes. he believes that survival of the fittest is paramount and absolute; he'd be a social Darwinist if he had any kind of agenda. However, he has no real aim, political or otherwise. He's too wrapped up in his hedonistic wash of a life to really invest in any other than making his own circumstances better, and prefers to simply toy with his opponents and smack them around; he doesn't really even care who the victims of his assaults are, so long as they're somebody, the more punishment they can take the better. It's not quite clear where his violent tendancies come from, though most of the clues point to a superioty complex that itself stems from an inferiorty complex; as a child he had a very close shave with a nasty illness, and may subconciously have needed to compensate for this moment of weakness by becoming ultra-violent and strong.

There is no dispute that Pancake is a firecracker of a man; he's loud, hot-headed and easy to be enraged but remarkably forgiving, if only due to his attention span being so low that he can't hold a grudge unless he's constantly reminded of one. He's rude and loves to shout about himself at great length. A brutally tactless individual without any concept of manners or good will to others, Pancake is so sympathy-less to almost not even know what other people's emotions even are. After all, he's the one who matters most. He's also insanely rough; even people he considers friends aren't safe from a hard punch in the jaw whenever he's in their company. It's his only reaction to anything. He also almost constantly has a swear word and a long angry ramble on the tip of his tongue, ready to leap out onto anyone he can berate for something.

His crass nature and love of causing friction may make him sound extremely independant, and this isn't wrong; he despises taking orders, and has been kicked out of every single army he's applied for until he got to Creta due to discipline problems. However, don't let this fool you; he's extremely easy to manipulate. He's got a love for destruction but has no idea where to point it. Any kind of justification will do so long as he's smashing something, and it's not hard to make a reason up. However, until then he'll literally do nothing. For all the energy he has, Pancake is remarkably lazy. No goals means no point to fighting, and it means that Pancake will simply lie around not really doing anything. Someone has to tell him to do something, and he'll do it no matter how awful simply because it's a reason to get out of bed.

Pancake's general manner reflects this too; he'll only act if told to, whether it be attack someone or go to the shops. Even in fighting he seems to be less an opponent to fight and more a force to be pointed in a direction. While not stupid, he believes that any opponent, no matter how smart or fast, can be beaten with enough brute force to overwhelme them. All in all, for all his talk of being the strongest and most important man in the world, Pancake will only go as far as he's told to, or at least
suggested... until you walk on him reading a Jane Austen romance novel. Yes, his single biggest pleasure, possibly even more than violence, is reading the works of the English novelist, and if ANYONE catches wind of it, he snaps into a frenzy; he'll follow you to the ends of the earth trying to kill you until you die, and unlike any other issue he has with anyone else, it becomes an obbession. All other priorities are on hold until they are dead. As lazy and admitly rather meat-headed as he usually is, when pushed hard enough he is a relentless killing machine.

Pancake's name, the ease in which he lets others manipulate him, and his interest in Jane Austen's work may all make him seem quite laughable. His ultra-violent tendancies, his anger and the almost complete lack of empathy he has, when coupled together, make Pancake no laughing matter.

...........................................................................

HISTORY:
→ It probably started with an illness.

At the age of seven, Kurono Katsuro was dying, pretty much. He was like any kid in that he was a sweet but mischevious lad who was occasionally bullied and had a loving family. Like any other child, but Kurono Katsuro was dying. Bedridden, the Aerugese youth had nothing to do besides simply count away the days until he went back to the nothingness he came from. By a small chance of fate, he found himself in possession of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" and found himself reading it and re-reading it through out this period. He soon fell in love with the book and its author. Then, astounding news. The doctor came back after some extensive blood tests. His condition was improving, and Kurono Katsuro was not dying at all. A joyous day... for some.

When he found himself back at school, Katsuro was no longer called Kurono Katsuro. He was being called 'Babycake' because of just how weak he was. The teasing was little more than that; teasing. But something in Katsuro's mind started turning. Something very twisted, setting him onto a path of murder and destruction. Katsuro decided that if he was weak because of that illness, then he had to become strong to get back on track. So, he began to train himself to be the strongest, most powerful and most dangerous kid in the school, in Edo, in all of Aurego. He got into fight after fight and pushed his weakened body to the very edges of its potential, and it began to pay off; by the time he was nine, his infamous nickname was altered to 'Pancake' because of how hard he'd flatten anyone who stood in his way. He took a shine to the new name and it's stuck ever since. He even abandoned the name Kurono Katsuro. That was the dying kid lying in bed. He really did die of that disease, and Pancake replaced him; a meaner, tougher, harder kid. His lifetime goal became a singular one; become the strongest man on the face of the planet, and utterly wipe out whoever stood in his way. If they weren't as strong as him, if they couldn't keep up with his sheer power, if they were hospitalised and even died from their injuries, so what? Pancake was number one. He was the strongest.

However, when he reached the age of fourteen, he realised that even this wasn't enough. He was only as strong as a man and that's all he'd ever be. Eventually, he could be overwhelmed and beaten. But his eye was drawn to automail; that could enhance someone's strength. It would make them harder than skin and bone. Making a very rash and hasty decision, he found the first biomechanic he could find and forced him into taking a risk unlike any other; automail arms on his back. It was almost suicidal; it wasn't replacing anything so if he wanted to control them he'd have to have whole new nerve endings, and the operation itself was incredibly driven. Only the strongest beings would survive. But Pancake didn't listen to reason, and simply forced the biomechanic to make the arms on pain of death.

And it worked.

Most automail operations take anywhere between six months to three years. Pancake had disappeared off the face of the earth for almost eight years to recover in a hidden location with this biomechanic. The sheer magnitude of the surgery involved meant that the automail was made out of carbonfibre rather than a metal, both so he'd survive and that he'd manage to maintain control over them without sapping his own strength, he had lost a lot of weight, and most of his friends and family assumed he was dead, but it paid off. He found himself stronger than ever thanks to the automail, and he now felt more ready than ever to prove how strong he was.

He immediately signed up for the Aerugese army, and proved himself to be both a major advantage and flaw; he could break an enemy unit singlehandedly, and often did... whether he was told to or not. He frequently disobeyed orders and broke more war crimes in a single year of service than the entire Aerugese army had in ten. However, he wasn't dishonourably discharged; at least, not until he had escaped to Xing. He was running from his own superiors after a sergeant discovered him reading Sense and Sensibility, and was immediately and brutally murdered, torn limb from limb over a period of hours only for Pancake to disappear. He applied for the Xingese military, and had similar discipline issues. They kicked him out this time, and he lasted
slightly longer, until he got bored of his army duties and brought his fighting to the streets. Once again, he was forced out of Xing and into Amestris. This time, his reputation from Aerugo followed him and he didn't even get through the front door of the recruitment office. Now he has found himself in Creta, the native homeland of Austen herself, ready to serve. At least, so long as he wants to...

REVISE

1. Title: What kind of militant?
2. Name: Ereshkigal is not a Aerugese name XD Annndd if Pancake signifies weakness, wouldn't he hate that?
3. Department: Die...? Dietrich?? PM him you kind of need to know that XD
4. *Aerugo *Aerugese -- Fix it...everywhere. You spelled it wrong and differently all over the place.
5. History: If he was kicked out of the Xing military, since Ace and Spade are brothers, they transfer information so he wouldn't be accepted into the Amestrian military to begin with. So remove that. That's a little much...... =/

What is Serpens? O.o And did you have points taken for Lili?

[Guest]

Sorry about all the mistakes in it. When I finished and submitted it it was about 2 in the morning so I was not really in a state of proof-reading it before submission. Probably should've Everything's been edited apart from the department and what kind of militant he is; I've contacted Dietrich about that, so I'll edit it the moment I get a reply.

Serpens is an organisation thingy that Ross's setting up, or HAS set up. I think he set it up during your hiatus so that might be why you didn't hear of it. And before you ask, I didn't make Pancake just so Ross has another member. I had two ideas for new characters and Pancake apparently fit the bill for Ross's society. Link to it here -> https://mdalchemist.rpg-board.net/t2253-the-serpens-organisation

As for Lili, I'm pretty sure my points got deducted though you'll have to prove me wrong on that one.

APPROVED

Once you find out from Dietrich, edit your app. I'll leave it in pending, but do everything else. Also, make sure you post in Classifieds to make it official.

Yeah, I'm hearing about this. Please just remove it. This group was made without permission... It's good then that you didn't make this character expressly for the group. XD

About the points, I was just asked to double check my mods. ;D

Oh and Kurono, lol. Chrono. XD It's not Japanese, but at least sounds like it now. And fyi Katsuro isn't a last name...but I'll pretend not to notice. Names are names.
