Player: Amanda | Mossflowered Character: Baron Humbert von Gikkingen aka Baron Canon: The Cat Returns ; post movie Age: Unknown, earliest known origin is Germany circa WW2? (I’ll need to watch Whispers of the Heart again lol) Bio Blurb:If you ever find yourself troubled by something mysterious or a problem that is hard to solve, there’s a place you can go where you’ll always find help. You just need to look for it.
The Baron is a dashing and dapper cat figurine, created by someone who put all their heart into it and thus granting him a soul. The artisan was also the one who gave him his title of Baron. He runs the Cat Bureau, a place that resides in a refuge for creations. He’s known as being quite noisy, always butting into other people’s business generally because he was asked to help them. As is the case of one such teenage girl named Haru who saved a cat prince and now the kingdom wants her to marry him! She’s told to visit the Bureau as they can help her. A fun little adventure ensues that ends with Haru back home and possibly crushing on the Baron as well lol Watch the movie here if you’re interested, it’s barely an hour and 15 minutes and very wholesome. Made by Studio Ghibli and the Baron himself is voiced by Cary Elwes aka The Dread Pirate Roberts.
Personality Blurb: Baron is polite, dapper, makes good tea for his guests, and simply wants to help others. He can sometimes be a little manipulative (getting Muta to babysit Haru after the cat refused) and doesn’t always want to admit when he made a mistake (“this is no time for finger pointing”). He can be a bit of a soft flirt, calling Haru fetching shortly after meeting her. He is always on the side of good and enjoys sticking his nose in other people’s business if it means helping others and going on an adventure to boot. He also offers great advice. Always believe in yourself. Do this and no matter where you are you will have nothing to fear.
Preferred Essence(s): Sherlock Holmes or something similar! Looking For: He’s an investigative type but also wanting to help, I’d like something if that nature if Sherlock doesn’t work out.
Appearance: Well, he’s normally a small figuring who barely reaches a Japanese girls knees so either making him normal height to everyone else? Otherwise nothing would change as he dresses similar to the time period of Sherlock anyway
Abilities: Hmmm... this is the tricky part! Better deductive skills, knowing forensic science (of that era?), observation skills, etc I suppose? I mean, Baron was already a smart cookie but I’m also down for other options/essences to flesh this out better.
Quirks: Nah, he’s quirky enough on his own but I’ll add something if I think of anything else.
Goal: I needed something quirky like this and my goal is to have fun with it. Extra: Questions: Nah
