Current Characters: Kol Mikaelsonitchtokill
IC Info
Name: Klaus Hargreeves
Canon: The Umbrella Academy [Netflix]
Age: 30
Appearance: Goth diasaster. Klaus is 6' with messy dark hair, and haunted eyes that are generally enhanced by all the eyeliner he wears; he's lanky and practically skin-and-bones skinny from too many missed meals and too much drug use, and basically his style is "disaster chic".
Canon Point: Post-s1
Background: Character Wiki | Show Wiki
CRAU: N/A
Personality: Klaus is a complex case when it comes to describing how he acts and who he is as a person. First and foremost, because a large part of who he is, is actually a lie and little more than a well-worn mask that he prefers to the reality of the broken mess that he keeps hidden behind it.
On the surface, Klaus is a carefree, worry-free party boy with not a single care at all. This, along with his wild antics and gender-bending/androgynous wardrobe, is a persona that he gives out to the world, free of charge. It's the most magnetic part of him that makes people like--or at least want to like him.
However, hidden underneath the layers of booze, drugs, and that carefully-placed mask are the broken pieces of a man ravaged by his father's abuse.
Sensitive and compassionate, Klaus is not one to hide from his feelings or those of others. He will openly express fear or panic, or cry in front of other people without seeming to think or feel like it's not something he should do or share with people. He is also incredibly tactile and seeks to both give and receive comfort through touch-- a hand on an arm or shoulder or a simple hug.
Klaus is a bit of a fatalistic pessimist, always assuming the worst of people and situations-- because cynicism lessens his chances of being disappointed and if it turns out he's wrong, it's almost like a pleasant surprise. As much as he wants to believe people, particularly ones that press any kind of interest or care in his direction, he tends to disbelieve it or assume it's somehow manipulative in nature by default.
He holds a very low threshold for criticisms due to having so many--pathetic; weak; disappointment; junkie, the list goes on and on--thrown at him through the years and may react disproportionately to negative commentary. He also has a low tolerance for stressful situations, running from them as quickly and effectively as possible, usually in the form of pills or alcohol and preferably before a paralyzing bout of panic sets in.
Though it is hard to get through the number of walls Klaus has effectively built around himself through the last roughly two decades, once someone sticks around long enough to manage it, they will find a caring and loyal, if not ambitious or always dependable, person who will flay himself open for those he cares about when it matters most.
Weaknesses/Temptations: Is "all of them" a sufficient answer? Okay, so specifics: Booze, drugs, sex, attention, affection, indulgence in general. He also has things like depression, anxiety, and claustrophobia to have fun with. "Fear" is a broad thing, but honestly, it's in there too-- fear is a big deal for Klaus, and something he's never really looked at or learned to face/deal with/conquer; the avoidance of it is a big motivator for a lot of his behavior.

Powers/Abilities:
- Mediumship/summoning: Klaus has a connection to the dead/the afterlife and as such has the ability to see/speak to ghosts. When the conditions are right (i.e. he's actually sober), he can even call them from the afterlife almost like a really difficult long-distance video conference call (that he never wants to make).
- Channeling/manifesting: Klaus has an additional subset of his mediumship abilities that includes manifesting a temporarily solid form to allow ghosts to interact with the physical world.
- Note: As this is a still-live canon, these powers may grow/evolve through time, I'll clear any new/additional pieces of his powers with mods before adding them to his list of "things he can do" (and likely canon-update accordingly, since he doesn't use anything outside of this up to his canon point, despite the insistence from his father he has never unlocked the full potential of his powers!)
Items: A copy of Vanya's book; these pants this shirt a pair of shoes, this jacket & this skirt
