[Background]Unfortunately, while some of Hugo's characters have backgrounds, a majority of the secondary characters seem to pop into existence when Hugo introduces them. The only thing we know concretely about Enjolras' history is that he is from the south of France, and is the only son of a wealthy family. When the story finds him he is a student living in Paris and the leader of a small group of revolutionaries., Les Amis d'ABC. They meet in secret in the back room of the Cafe Mousain.
Enjolras' world seems to begin and end with this group of friends, and with his single minded goal of bringing about freedom from poverty and oppression that existed in France in the 1830s. Little else occupies his time and thoughts. In June of 1832 General Lamarque, one of the few champions of the people, dies. During his funeral procession, Enjolras and his group barricade the Rue St Denis in an effort to inspire the people of Paris to rise against Louis-Philippe. These efforts were unsuccessful and the rebels were dispatched and killed by the French National Guard.
When Enjolras is left the last man standing, Grantaire, who had no interest in the revolution outside of his fascination with Enjolras, took his place by his hero's side and the two died together, hand in hand.
[Personality] Enjorlas is a fiery and passionate soul, and his passion is human justice. It might then be a little ironic that he puts his involvement in this cause before personal relationships. He is fiercely loyal to his friends, but they are lieutenants and comrades in arms to him. Love and romance are nothing to him but something trivial that distracts people from things that are more important. And, when the people around him are involved in more frivolous activities, when something can be done to help the poor and the needy, and change the conditions people in France live in Enjolras can be impatient.
He does have great compassion for people who are suffering, and great hate for people who cause it. Injustice won’t be tolerated, and he will go to battle to protect someone. Just don’t try to cozy up to him afterwards. He’s about as cozy as a marble statue. And, if he thinks you’re an agent of oppression, he’s about as yielding as one.
Enjolras has a strong moral compass and a powerful sense of justice. He will always be just and fair. Killing is something that he will do in order to protect someone, or as part of revolution. Justice has even lead him to execute his own volunteers when an innocent bystander who had no part in the insurrection was killed. And, he will kill in order to protect his barricade and his men, and to continue the revolution. However, this is not something he ever does lightly. He is shown to mourn the people he killed, even when they died as part of a battle. He sees it as a necessary evil, but an evil nonetheless.
He will drink wine but never to excess or get drunk, and likes to talk politics. Should you have a differing opinion he will reprimand you and tell you that you’re wrong without any qualms. Politics is a subject he’s studied extensively and can speak about with a lot of knowledge. By nature he tends to be frank and candid in conversation. He can be aloof, disdainful, or just plain rude at times even if he doesn't really intend to be. In day to day actions he is serious, and tends to show little interest in frivolous pleasures or personal indulgences.
His morals are absolute and without compromise. Freedom and Liberty are good, and oppression is bad. If law makers are corrupt and make laws that keep people in poverty while keeping themselves rich, then laws can be overlooked. The rights of man are much more important. The ends often justify the means, even if the means are violent. His cause means more to him than his own life, and being a martyr doesn't bother him.
Enjolras is also a man of unyielding faith. He has an absolute absence of cynicism. Doubt that he and his friends will be successful in changing history never even occurred to him, and when the people did not rise and the barricade was taken, even then he knew that their fight would not be in vain, and that others would be successful in the future building off the groundwork that he and his friends laid. One might call him naive, or at least innocent. Enjorlas is intelligent, but not worldly. There is something about him that speaks of pure hope for and faith in a better future. And his innocence is one of the most beautiful things about him.
[Specialties/Abilities] Enjolras has no superhuman powers that would be affected in Somarium. His strength, agility, durability etc. are what would be considered normal for a 22 year old healthy male who is physically fit. He is tall and described by Hugo as very beautiful. He is also a powerful public speaker, intelligent, educated, articulate and charismatic. Between being physically impressive and very well spoken, Enjolras is someone who can gather people to him and inspire them to follow him. However, this is all within natural human limitations.
[Affection] Hug/kiss/hit on/try and seduce/grope/touch (because he is good looking) Molest away just do so at your own risk and don't expect him to appreciate it.
[Fighting] Enjolras is physically imposing and is willing and able to defend himself and others. As long as it will not cause lasting damage fight away. Permission required to injure/scar/kill him.
[Other Permissions] I will take mind control, 4th walling, and so on, on a case-by-case basis. It is unlikely that I will say no, but I do want to be notified first.
