Fandom: Skulduggery Pleasant
General Information
First name: Erin
Middle name(s): Hades
Surname: Motionless (His given name is unknown)
Age: 209
Date of birth: He's not totally sure any more. Mr Twist buys him a keyring every August, so it's probably around that point. He stopped celebrating after he was bitten. (Okay, it's January 2nd according to an old journal I made years ago, but nobody around him knows that.)
Race: White Irish
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Even after all these years, he's still not quite sure. Sexuality isn't easy to pin down. It's a big ball of wibbly wobbly sexy unsexy stuff. He tries not to get involved with anyone at the moment.
Current residence: A dungeon in a large building he likens to a castle somewhere in Ireland, near Athlone. Mr Twist's house.
Relationship status: Single.
Social status: Unknown
Traits of Voice
Accent (if any): Irish, exact region unspecified.
Language spoken: English
Other languages known: Irish Gaelic, French, German, Hungarian, Polish, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and Latin. The more languages he knows, the more people he can annoy.
Style of speaking: Mr Motionless tends to speak quickly, leaving little pause for breath and often never letting others get a word in edgewise. Friends are happy to let him natter away for hours about nothing, and he will pause to listen to a good friend. He will flit from one thought to another without any perceptible link or pattern. Erin almost always speaks in a cheerful tone, sounding like he is incapable of taking things seriously. If things are especially bad, he will adopt a solemn tone to match the atmosphere. These times, he will speak in a similar manner to others, and only when he has something relevant to say.
Volume of voice: Medium-high.
Physical Appearance
Height: 6'4 (Mr Motionless is by far the tallest of his friends.)
Weight: 143 lbs (Tbh these weights are a gestimate from use of a weight-height chart. Probably not to be taken seriously.)
Eye colour: Hazel
Skin colour: Pale white
Shape of face: Face-shaped
Distinguishing features: With being rather underweight and excessively pale, Mr Motionless tends to look very ill to most outsiders.
Build of body: Scrawny
Hair colour: Platinum blond
Hair style: Neck-length and straight, some flyaway strands here and there.
Posture: Normal. He likes to lie on his back with his legs against the wall in a V shape more than he likes to stand.
Tattoos: None
Piercings: None
Typical clothing: Mr Motionless dresses smartly in the style of the time, which of course varied as times went on. In modern day, in his dungeon home, he either wears a tattered old white shirt, black pinstripe waistcoat and black trousers, or a simple white top and jeans with belt.
Is seen by others as: Annoying, hyperactive and childish. However, to his friends, Motionless is a dependable person and stupidly loyal.
Personality
Likes: Chewing popcorn, making new friends (he'll ask anyone he meets if they'll be his 'friend'), being upside down, talking, games, being praised
Dislikes: Silence, mean people, being a vampire, rats, sitting still for too long, signs with words on them, salt water
Education: Unknown. Likely poor. Never learned to read.
Fears: Mangoes, salt water (fatal to vampires from this series)
Personal goals: To make many friends to try and counteract the anger and hatred caused by his vampirism (that is, his own anger and hatred, primarily).
General attitude: He's friendly to the point of annoyance, especially to those he is meant to be keeping secrets for as he cannot keep any kind of secret, as he possesses no filter between brain and mouth. He's optimistic and innocent, seeming to never understand that he has done anything wrong.
Religious values: He is or was a member of the Church of the Faceless Ones.
General intelligence: Moderate, though some tell him it is low due to his inability to read.
General sociability: Very high.
Health
Illnesses (if any): None
Allergies (if any): Salt water, I suppose.
Sleeping habits: Erin does not sleep. Erin does not have any need for sleep. At night he is a vampire.
Energy level: Very high. He cannot sit still for more than a couple of seconds.
Eating habits: I'm pretty sure the only thing he can consume is blood. He takes what he is given, essentially, as in a way you could say he is a prisoner, what with living in a dungeon safe thing and being brought necessities by his friend, Advantageous Twist.
Memory: Excellent
Any unhealthy habits: He tends to pick his nose and put things in his mouth that he shouldn't.
History
Birth country: Ireland
Hometown: Unspecified. Erin wishes to forget as much about his origins as possible.
Childhood: Erin was born to a sorcerer couple, meaning he was exposed to the world of magic at a young age and quickly found an aptitude with it. His parents trained him in sigil-based magic, but he quickly decided he didn't enjoy the precision required to use this type of magic and that he wanted something more fun. He began to experiment with other types of magic and slowly ruled them out one by one. He didn't like Necromancy because it came with all sorts of other add-ons and his boisterous personality wasn't much appreciated there. Elemental magic, he didn't do well with.
Teen years: Erin still struggled to find his niche and became involved with a couple of other mages, specifically Darren Shadow and Myasthenia Quirk. He quickly became close friends with Shadow. Mr Shadow was the one who suggested Mr Motionless try 'leech' magic, and even found someone willing to train the little blabbermouth.
Adult years: Erin hits the surge at age 23, officially locking himself in as a Magiphage. He continues to be friends with Mr Shadow, and meets Jerry Vehemence, who takes an instant dislike to him. Erin seems unaware that Mr Vehemence dislikes him. The three begin working together and going on little mage adventures, though sometimes said mage adventures do not include all members. The team then meet Alba Hazardous and Midnight True, who start to join them on their little adventures now and then. A rift forms between Mr Shadow and Mr Motionless when they both confess they are in love with Myasthenia. Mr Motionless leaves the group upon realising Hazardous and Vehemence both want him dead, and moves away to another part of the country with Myasthenia. They become a couple, and eventually, at age 132, Motionless proposes to Quirk. Around these days, the war against Mevolent is in full swing. Motionless and Quirk fight on Mevolent's side, but Shadow and Vehemence are on the opposing side. True and Hazardous are also on Mevolent's side, meaning they are forced to work with Motionless again. Motionless is reluctant to actually fight others, but is happy to merely leech magic to make others less able to fight. At age 135, Vehemence manages to trap Motionless down a deep, wet pit, where he develops his dislike of rats. When he finally escaped, he was malnourished and weak, and was attacked by a vampire, Zeus McMooney. Aware he is now dangerous, he disappears from the lives of those close to him and goes into hiding, causing them to believe him to be dead. One evening, he attacks a sorcerer while in vampire mode, but the sorcerer defeats him and, instead of killing him, locks Erin in a large dungeon that has evidently housed vampires before. When Erin comes to the next day, the man comes and introduces himself as Advantageous Twist, a selective mute and essentially the exact opposite of Erin. They somehow manage to become close friends, as Twist finds Motionless' constant babbling to be amusing. Mr Twist introduces Mr Motionless to a friend of his, Esra Sunshine, who is a science-magic user who enjoys a little experimenting. The two offer their blood to sustain Motionless in return for Erin submitting himself to tests. Esra in turn reintroduces Motionless to his old gang (Shadow, Hazardous, True, Vehemence) and they become a group of mercenaries for hire, often doing odd jobs for those most commonly associated with the bad guys.
Past places of residence: Ireland, various
History of family: It is known he comes from a family of sorcerers who worshiped the Faceless Ones.
Relationships
Parents: His parents were sorcerers and members of the Church of the Faceless. They appear to have been users of sigil-based magic.
Siblings: None known.
Any enemies (and why): Erin has made many enemies over the years, as one might, though for the most part he refuses to acknowledge anyone as an enemy. He has acknowledged Darren Shadow as a rival and Zeus McMooney as the one person he hates, for turning him into a vampire. There is a very deep grudge there and Erin would be very, very happy to kill Zeus, despite the vampire code.
Children: When Erin disappeared, his fiancee was in fact pregnant, causing her to try and speed up their marriage to a sooner date. Erin is unaware that he is a parent.
Friends: Erin has many people he considers friends, but most of them don't like him.
Best friend(s): Advantageous Twist and Darren Shadow.
Important friends/relatives (explain): Mr Twist, who brought him back into a stable environment and lifestyle, and Mr Shadow, who led him onto the Magiphage path and introduced him to his fiancee.
Love interest (if there is one): Myasthenia Quirk (formerly), Rachel O'Connell (Twist's daughter), who fancies him, but who he tends to pointedly avoid.
Combat
Peaceful or violent: Peaceful
Weapon (if applicable): Vampirism
Style of fighting: Generally, Erin will either dodge attacks until he sees a good opening to use his excessive strength, or he is put in charge of guarding the prisoners during the daytime. According to the Skulduggery Pleasant wiki, vampires still retain magic they had before becoming infected, however, Erin no longer commonly includes his magiphage abilities in combat for unknown reasons.
Others
Occupation: Mercenary for hire
Favourite types of food: Popcorn and blood
Favourite types of drink: Blood
Hobbies/past times: Anything that keeps him active and on his feet.
Guilty pleasures: I still suck at these. If I can I will come back to these eventually.
Pet peeves: People who try and paint vampires in a romantic light.
Pets: While staying with Mr Twist, he has full access to Twist's two dogs (Andy the old english sheepdog and Bubbles the Pembroke welsh corgi) and guinea pig.
Talents: Erin is a magiphage, allowing him to temporarily drain magical power from other mages and imbue items with magical power. Vampirism grants him excessive strength and grace when moving. He can understand sigils to some extent, and is great at annoying people. He will even do so on purpose if the person is trying to propose he become part of something he doesn't want to be part of (or is Zeus). The mercs use this to drive away unwanted potential clients. When in doubt, send Hades out.
Favourite colours: Bright, pale colours.
Favourite type of music: He doesn't really have one. His tastes have varied with the times and he doesn't often have much of an opportunity to listen to anything anyway. He is strangely fond of March of the Women (a Suffragette theme).
