Hannibal TV series
Hannibal is a cultured gentleman, generally the smartest and best-dressed person in the room, and a polymath who will make a gourmet meal, play expert harpsichord afterward, draw a perfect picture of a place he's been to once, and tell you what you had for breakfast yesterday by smelling you.
He finished his medical degree at an age when most people are trying to figure out what their major should be, reads and speaks at least nine languages fluently, and excels at making intuitive leaps and predicting behavior.
He's manipulative as hell, and a cannibalistic serial killer.
He firmly believes that everybody should be true to themselves, even if that self involves killing others and/or making art so gruesome that no-one else appreciates it. He will cheerfully attempt to manipulate people into accepting their true selves as he sees them. He'll also cheerfully manipulate them into caring for him, which he would say is no more than anybody does in social interaction; he's just better at it.
He has so far manipulatedfurnaceface into caring for him that they're getting married. At some point. Eventually. If events will ever stop conspiring against them (they're currently on attempt three). Fortunately, he adores Jono as well.
Relationships being about compromise, Hannibal is currently not killing willy-nilly; he made an agreement soon after they got serious that he'd only kill people Jono would approve of until Jono trusted his judgement. They could probably revisit that at this point, but Hannibal has seen no reason to, since the multiverse is regrettably full of truly execrable people.
Which doesn't mean he might not ask how Jono would feel about him killing a rude person from time to time. He really hates unprovoked rudeness.
He came to Fandom after season 1 of Hannibal and broke from canon at the end of season 2, when he moved to Fandom instead of Italy. Canon has gone on without him, and will continue that way for the most part.
What others might see in him:
Hannibal is fully human and without powers (Jono's protestations that matching plaids and paisley is his mutant power aside). He's not a psychopath, he just has a unique morality. Anyone who can detect emotions may notice he's incredibly calm most of the time; he has emotions, and they run deep, but they tend not to flare up much in public.
His mind is a maze; he's not telepathic, but he's very good at keeping people guessing, and unless a telepath is actually digging into him, they won't get anything - he's spent years living with a telepath now, which has rather honed his natural inclination toward quietness. (And if someone does decide to dig, well they'd have to deal with Jono afterward.)
He very rarely outright lies, but he's very good at telling creative truths and implying things that may not be true.
The Radio Host
Cecil Gershwin Palmer
voiceoverdue
Welcome to Night Vale podcast
Cecil is a radio host. He loves radio. And his boyfriend ♥Carlos♥, who is a scientist. Cecil's "very into" science. Cecil's a pretty normal and dull person, really. I mean, he just gets up in the morning, prays to his bloodstone circle, makes sure the Faceless Old Woman That Secretly Lives In His Home hasn't left any nasty messages like turning a table upside down, eats his (free of wheat and wheat by-products) cereal and drinks his orange milk, and heads off to his job to tell the town all about the news or whatever is happening that day, and hopes Station Management won't decide to end his contract (and life) permanently.
Or, well, he did. Then he found an overdue library book that he should've returned when he was fourteen, and there was nothing for it but to be fourteen again - I mean, librarians, right? Nobody wants to cross them, especially for that kind of fee! He came to Fandom so he'd be someplace time moved faster and that wasn't too weird, while he grew up again.
Then he went home, grew up again even faster (what is time, really? it's not like it's real) and caught up with canon a little bit, except now ♥Carlos♥ is trapped in a desert otherworld, so Cecil's come back to teach, because portals are easier from Fandom, and he can visit on weekends.
What others might see in him:
Cecil is human, more or less. "Human" has a pretty wide definition in Night Vale. He sometimes seems to know things as or just before they happen, but it's not like it's anything conscious, and he probably couldn't do it on command. He tends to be a bit flighty and overly enthusiastic, he has a really odd fashion sense (furry trousers, orange galoshes, and capes), and his definition of "normal" is...idiosyncratic.
The Huntress
Jalian d'Arsennette y ken Selvren
kenselvren
Daniel Keys Moran, The Armageddon Blues
Jalian is 18ish, a senior, and from Earth. About eight hundred years in the future. A future in which, a few years ago Fandom time, nuclear war pretty much ended civilization. Her name translates as Jalian of the Fires of the clan of people with silver eyes. Her eyes are in fact metallic silver, a trait passed on from an ancestress who was exposed to nuclear radiation (whence she also gets the d'Arsennette - the Fires being the nuclear fires). She can see from infrared to the edges of gamma radiation, she has better reflexes than any modern human, and she's a trained warrior. She can also mindspeak to other telepaths.
She can build a machine to travel dimensions and timelines, she can take down a grown man in seconds, she can't eat refined sugar, and she has absolutely no concept of modesty. She's vegetarian.
She finds money hysterical, men in positions of authority laughable, and Armageddon unthinkable - she fully intends to head back to her own timeline and stop it after graduation.
What others might see in her:
Her sense of humor is really dry. Pair that with the things about modern life that still throw her and the fact she's grown up in a post-apocalyptic subsistence society, and sometimes her sarcasm and mischief get lost. She really isn't humorless, but can come across that way. Physically, her hair is pure white even when my Photoshop skills have given out, and her eyes are metallic silver and apparently incredibly seductive. She's muscular but skinny, with not a lot of curves. While she is telepathic, she doesn't really have blocks up - she's never had to, and again, has little concept of privacy.

The Vampire Mage
Peter Octavian
2_old_for_this
Christopher Golden, The Shadow Saga
Peter is a vampire, or has he prefers to call himself, a Shadow. Part divine, part demonic, part human, he was born two decades before the fall of Constantinople to the Turks, and changed during the siege. Since then, he's been any number of things, but primarily a warrior.
He gave up killing humans just before 1900, and left his vampiric family to live amongst them. In the process, he learned that most supposed weaknesses of his kind were bullshit - sun, garlic, holy ground, etc. are all perfectly fine for him.
He was just in the process of convincing others of this when there was a battle and he ended up in Hell. For about a thousand years. During which time he grew a lot older and more powerful, and also learned magic.
Of course, when he got out of Hell, he promptly blocked it all out in a fit of PTSD. He's been forcing himself to relive it recently so he can relearn enough magic to get himself back home.
He ended up in Fandom when a demon's last-ditch attempt to get home pulled him in, and he flailed about for anyplace but Hell. He's fine with Fandom as an alternative. He thinks.
What others might see in him:
Peter is not human. He is literally part divine, part demonic, and part human. Anyone who can see those, will. He's also around 1500 years old now. He's also a fairly powerful mage, and getting stronger every day, though his control isn't always the best.
His mood and social skills vary from day to day - if he's been pushing himself through Hell a lot, he'll be a bit jumpy and "off"; if he hasn't been, he'll be fairly normal and friendly. He's patient and easygoing by nature, but he's traumatized.

The mun
I'm a too-highly-educated manager at a tech support company, where I mostly write VBA, develop databases, and ask people if they really have tried turning it off and back on again. I live with my mom and my cats, in Cleveland, OH, US, which puts me in Eastern time.
I'm on just about every night and most of the weekends; during the day, my availability depends on how much work I have going on at any particular time. I might be back and forth like lightning, then get a phone call and drop off for three hours.
SP is awesome, e-mail or AIM or Google Hangouts is great (I'm usually on under Hannibal's e-mail). I will pretty much always play with anyone! If you want Hannibal to manipulate someone or psychoanalyze them, or Cecil to enthuse at them, or Jalian to roll her eyes at them, or Peter to talk to them or bite them or freak out at them, just let me know!
