Abilities
Character's Canon Abilities: None
Conditional: If your character has no superhuman canon abilities, what dormant ability will you give them? Within his canon, Enjolras is a powerful public speaker. Charismatic and physically impressive, he is someone capable of making an impassioned speech that will rally the crowd behind him. His speech is described in the novel as “soaring” and “having the tremor of a hymn.” He also has complete faith in his cause, and his words.
In the port, this belief will be contagious and transferable. By making a passionate speech or a fervent plea or call to action, he can influence people to believe in him, follow him, and rally to his call to action.
It takes quite a bit of passion and fire for this ability to kick in, and will not effect people in everyday conversation. It won't be until he gets on a soap box and speaking with real fire that people will start to feel it.
The power of the influence will be directly proportionate to his own belief and his own passion on what he’s saying. For example, for him to walk up to someone and tell them “Oh no! Godzilla is behind you! Run away!” would be impossible, unless he himself believed Godzilla was present. He can’t make someone believe something he himself does not passionately believe. And, the more powerful his belief, the more powerful the effect.
The effect will make the speech more moving, more powerful, and more inspiring. It will not force people to do what he says. People will merely feel moved and inspired to rally to his cause, and help him achieve his goals. Enjolras has the ability to inspire even without any kind of supernatural power. So the effects will be subtle. The line between where his natural charisma ends and his ability begins will often be blurry, as the effect is not particularly strong, and is usually weak enough to be mistaken for his own personal magnetism.
The power is so subtle that Enjolras himself will not be aware of it. He is accustom to his speech effecting people, and likely won’t notice. But, anyone with any kind of ability to detect these kinds of powers will be able to realize that something is happening, and anyone with even the most minor ability to resist such things will be able to break the influence. If someone attempted to explain to Enjolras what he is doing, he likely wouldn’t believe them.
His ability holds the potential to make him a very useful individual, if developed. However, it would require a lot of discipline and practice to make it that strong on his part. And, he would have to first believe and accept that it was there. I do not think that he is likely to do that, and I have absolutely no plans to do something like that in game. In the unlikely event that plans change, all plotting and permission will be taken care of ahead of time so as not to influence anyone who does not want to be.
Even though his influence is fairly subtle, I will have a permission post up and respect it at all times.
Weapons: None
History/Personality/Plans/etc.
Character History: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enjolras#Enjolras_in_the_novel Victor Hugo’s backstory on Enjolras is almost non-existent. The only thing we really know is that he is from a wealthy family. The events in the story are well outlined in the wiki, even though it is short.
Point in Canon: The point of canon is after Enjolras stood in front of the firing squad to be shot and took Grantaire’s hand, but before he is actually shot. He will arrive about to be executed, but not yet shot.
Conditional: Brief summary of previous RP history: N/A
Character 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 matter. And, when the people around him are involved in more frivolous activities, when something can be done to help the poor and the needy, Enjolras can be haughty and disdainful, even to the point of being rude.
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.
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. He’s generally respectful and polite when politics aren’t involved, and closely observes manners and etiquette.
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.
Conditional: Personality development in previous game: N/A
Character Plans: First, he will connect with his canon mates in the game. Adjusting to the port will be difficult for him, as will the destruction of his barricade and the death of his friends. Once he has emotionally stabilized, he will likely try to make himself an enemy of both Sero or AGI. However, if one of them got to him first he could be taken advantage of and used against the other.
Appearance/PB: Enjolras is described in his canon as angelically beautiful. He has a pale skin and curling blonde hair, and aristocratic-looking, well made features. His eyes are blue, and he’s tall and long-limbed. His clothes are practical and to his period. His played by is Aaron Tveit, from the upcoming motion picture of the musical. http://upandcomers.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/lesmis002.jpg on the left.

First Person Sample
Madams et Messieurs,
[Alabaster skin, waving blonde hair, eyes very blue. The face on the monitor is finely drawn, but looks ill at ease.]
I am used to addressing people, but not using this new invention. Please excuse me. I realize that I am a newcomer here, and that I am to make myself known using this… thing. I was baffled when I found it. I’ve never smoked in my life.
At any rate, the time has come for me to discover what I can about myself and my new surroundings. If I may glean some knowledge that I may take back to my own home, I shall not consider myself ill-used in any way. Consider me a pupil, kind people.
I have logging, and have been offered work. What employment I shall accept still remains to be seen. However, the food that has been left to me is far too much for one person. Wasting it would be obscene. I would like to find a way that it can be distributed among those who need it more than I, but I’m not sure how to do so.
If anyone can offer assistance, please contact me. I’m positive I will learn how to receive your message on this device by the time you have finished.
[The NV jostles, but does not turn off. Enjorlas is seen for a moment muttering to himself.]
Now, how to send this… What was it I was told… the button on the…
[And the feed clicks off.]
Third Person Sample To find heaven would be to find the place where all men are free, and live as equals.
[The phrase ran through his mind as he was about to die. Enjolras felt the world swim before his eyes, and he thought he understood. He truly did believe that he understood.
He collapsed onto all fours, feeling as though he were choking. He felt the bile rise from his empty stomach. As he finished coughing he realized, this wasn’t the floor of the wine shop. He felt earth and grass under his hands. It was dark, and the smell of rot and decay assaulted him.
He had thought he understood. Yet now, now nothing seemed to make sense.
Enjolras raised his left hand and pressed his palm to his chest. He found nothing, No wound, no red stain. No sign of any injury. Slowly he drew the breath into his lungs, and slowly, with control, he released it again. With a forced calm, he pulled his feet under him, and rose to his full height. It was with cool detachment that he let his gaze run over the field.]
If my men’s death are on my hands, I have no place in heaven, but my cause was just, so I have no place in hell either.
[He could not recognize a baseball diamond. Sport was of no interest to him. When he got to the edge of the diamond though, he was convinced he’d fallen into hell.]
