GRIGORI

Bartleby is a Grigori, also known as a Watcher, a certain denomination of Archangel able to read the soul like a book - specifically and especially, their sins. Bartleby can see the good and the bad, the stains and indiscretions in which people have partaken in the past. These could really range from mass fucking murder to... stealing a candy bar from a grocery store*.

This is just a little post to ask:

• what's up hey do you even have a soul
• can he peep the goods
• what kind of shit have you been up to, punk

This stuff may be irrelevant - hell, chances are he's probably not even going to bring it up in the conversation. He's not really some vigilante here to lecture all the murderers and thieves of the ship; quite frankly, he couldn't care less. You see enough genocidists (and you live with one for long enough) and you stop sweating the small shit. This is mostly just to figure whether he's talking to Mother Theresa or, like, Hitler and Skeletor's assbaby who pisses pure liquid malevolence and etc.

[majestyofthethrone]

Character Name: Seraphim Dias
Fandom/Original: Original
Character Journal: majestyofthethrone
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? There is! She has a human soul but it's weirdly tangled up with the Throne of God, and seated on the Throne is God Himself.
Is it okay for him to see it? Yes!
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? So here is the deal - he can probably tell that she is the Throne (don't tell Castiel yet though ;;) and probably tell that God is actually in residence in her head, since that's what Bartelby does. As for her human soul, it's not exactly pure, although she's pretty boring in a lot of ways since she hasn't done a lot of horrible things. However what she did do is use Creation to tie the Throne to her soul so that her brother wouldn't forget her and she would continue to exist, and he's welcome to know that.

(he can also know that she had a boyfriend who she didn't like, but used until she lost her voice because she didn't want to deal with guys asking her out. She was also used a lot by her dad in creepy notsexual ways to get him what he wanted with her mother, and her mother ignored her after she lost her voice because she thought that her daughter was crazy and then her mother forgot she existed)

[hostage]

Character Name: Jesse Pinkman
Fandom/Original: Breaking Bad
Character Journal: hostage
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? Yes; human
Is it okay for him to see it? Yes
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? The details are all here but to put it simply he's a drug addict, he cooks meth, he steals superpowers, and he murdered an innocent man. To his credit, he feels really really bad about it.

[symptomatic]

Character Name: remy hadley
Fandom/Original: house md
Character Journal: symptomatic
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? yep!
Is it okay for him to see it? yeeep!
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? she killed a man -- ok technically she euthanized her own brother but she herself still feels the guilt of it and phrases it like that, so murder is def on the soul. she's also (in a roundabout fashion) been responsible for a sick man to die by not making sure he took his meds. rookie move. also, she herself is (was???) dying through a chronic illness re: her huntington's. ayyup.

Character Name: arthur morelli (keep the last name hush hush okok)

Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? yep
Is it okay for him to see it? yes!
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? arthur is a corporate criminal who has killed people before. in real life and in dreams. that's probably the big thing? killing people for economic and self-motivated profit. orz.

[sweetmotherofgod]

Character Name: Heather Mason
Fandom/Original: Silent Hill 3
Character Journal: sweetmotherofgod
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? Yep!
Is it okay for him to see it? Sure!
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? Probably the most interesting thing would be that it's older than she is by 14 years? She used to be this cult baby with crazy psychic powers but when Alessa died she did this instant reincarnation thing and made a baby Heather to hitch a ride in. Other than that, she went on a quest to murder the lady who killed her dad (and failed, s l o w c l a p) and was pregnant with a weird demongodbaby but she, um, puked it up and killed it idek it sounds better when you're playing the game okay.

[bereth]

Character Name: Arwen
Fandom/Original: Lord of the Rings
Character Journal: bereth
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? yes.
Is it okay for him to see it? yes.
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? it's an old soul - 2000+ and shit. it's so pure he's going to be blinded by it, too. there's a lot of love, and some regret and - just. pureness. she's mother teresa of middle-earth.

but in the movie-verse, she's been sort of - er, attacked by sauron (to spite aragorn) and his malice, and it weakened her to the point where her fate's become tied to the fate of the one Ring - if the rings have found its way to sauron, she'd have died. so he might be able to see traces of Evilness and stuff on her, but it's not hers.

[theredchampion]

Character Name: Niall O Corcoráin
Fandom/Original: Original!
Character Journal: theredchampion
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see?
... Yes, but it isn't a human soul. It's a fae soul. YMMV here I guess on if that changes anything for him, I don't mind!
Is it okay for him to see it?
Sure
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul?
Horrible, horrible things. There's over a thousand years of basically being a sociopathic moral nihilist but it isn't random? It has an air of pragmatism and purpose to it. I mean, he'll talk a person into throwing themselves off a bridge but only if they are some sort of irritating pathetic excuse for a human being to begin with who happens to be in his way. He'd only shove someone over the edge into insanity if he thinks they're going to fall anyway and he wants to be around to see it. Most of it will be indirect, too, he very rarely actually physically kills a person with his own hands and if he does it would be self defence. IUNNO. Generalised stuff is here and I can answer anything specific if it comes up.

[logicals]

Character Name: Sherlock Holmes (au)
Fandom/Original: um. He's fandom but with amat extras!
Character Journal: logicals
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? yes.
Is it okay for him to see it? yes.
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? SHERLOCK KILLED HIMSELF FOR HIS BFF. DEAL WITH IT. only he didn't so he's a liar of massive proportions, still looks fine in his coat and will one day turn up out of the blue and make john faint.
it is in the cards.
um, you know all of sherlock's history, so I don't have to say much here that's actually serious. I figure he can see things like the fact that Sherlock wasn't exactly HUMAN before John came into his life, and the moment he left him, he's been doused with the glorious purpose of KILLING BITCHES AND GETTING BACK TO HIS JAWN.
The only thing I'd like to keep in tact is the fact that Sherlock is actually alive in canon. SINCE THAT'S KIND OF A BIG DEAL. OK.

[culver]

Character Name: Nill.
Fandom/Original: DOGS: BULLETS & CARNAGE.
Character Journal: culver.
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? Yes.
Is it okay for him to see it? Yes.
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? BASICALLY MOTHER THERESA. But no in reality Nill was about to be forced into prostitution before she was rescued by a gunslinging albino. She was literally about ready to be raped for the first time, that is how close things got. But she was saved and has spent the past few months living in a church with a blind priest so there's that. P.S. Prostitution was not a thing of her choice; she was a genetic experiment, which left a pair of small angel wings grafted to her back and no vocal cords in her throat. In her world, people (especially children) with... animal parts... are kind of a huge fad, and people like to have sex with them for some reason. So Nill is pretty afraid of men who look over the age of like, sixteen. CAN I MAKE THIS ANY MORE DEPRESSING.

[sciencewhizard]

Character Name: Wally West | Kid Flash
Fandom/Original: Young Justice
Character Journal: sciencewhizard
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? I would imagine so, yes, even if he pretends to to believe there isn't.
Is it okay for him to see it? Sure.
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? Oh, there's his strong belief in science at the expense of anything "supernatural," though at this point, it's more a cover than an actual thing. He's not self-conscious over his eating habits anymore. He might be holding on to some broody-feelings from when Kent Nelson died and also from when Zatara put on the Helmet of Fate. As for things he's done that he might feel guilty over? There are various instances of him running his mouth and hurting people.

[doismelllikeroses]

Character Name: Peeta Mellark
Fandom/Original: THG
Character Journal: This one
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? Yup
Is it okay for him to see it? Yesh
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul?

Mostly everything he did during the hunger games (killing people, lying, manipulating etc). Idk he's a good guy that was forced to do bad things basically so I don't think he will see anything specifically interesting.

I WILL ADD SUPEY TO THIS WHEN WE DECIDE IF HE HAS A SOUL OR NOT

[jurisimpudent]

Character Name: Miles Edgeworth
Fandom/Original: Fandom: Ace Attorney
Character Journal: jurisimpudent
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? In spite of the fact that he's a lawyer, yes.
Is it okay for him to see it? Yes!
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? OKAY WELL he is a painfully decent guy whose worst crime is having cheated on a math test when he was six (and he promptly turned himself into his father and to the teacher and probably cried like the tiny wuss he is). But he's also a ball of anger who thinks he might have killed his dad and who thinks that he can bring himself to take the lives of criminals. So even if he's never actually done bad things, he's chock full of wrath and pride and a bit of envy.

[runshouse]

"in spite of the fact that he's a lawyer", i just laughed so damn hard

[walksonrooftops]

Character Name: Asato
Fandom/Original: Lamento ~Beyond the Void~
Character Journal: walksonrooftops
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? Yes
Is it okay for him to see it? Yes
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? Asato's soul is this kind of odd mishmash of "cat dude who just wants to smell flowers and be loved" and "horrific monster what the fuck is that". As far as actual misdeeds go, he's implied to have hurt or killed people before, but that's because he was told to, and because Asato follows orders like no one's business. He's been told he killed one of his own and that's weighed on his conscience since (he didn't actually do it though, people are just jerks).

[chromosomes]

Character Name: John "Reaper" Grimm
Fandom/Original: Doom movie
Character Journal: chromosomes
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? Yes!
Is it okay for him to see it? Yes!
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? Reaper's a Marine, and he's killed people before -- often political enemies of the U.A.C. He says in canon that he's done some bad things and he's kind of a big sack of guilt. However, he's also genetically (Doom is a weird movie) a Good Man, which is why he's superhuman instead of a monster.

Character Name: Carolyn Fry
Fandom/Original: The Chronicles of Riddick: Pitch Black
Character Journal: suddenlycaptain
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? Yes!
Is it okay for him to see it? Yes!
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? Fry nearly killed all the passengers on her ship to save herself and the navigator. Owens, the navigator, stopped her, and Fry began to feel deeply guilty about it. After denying being the captain three times (she was just the docking pilot), Carolyn accepts it when Riddick tries to get her to leave the last two survivors (other than them) on the planet and says she would die for them. She then ends up dying while trying to help Riddick back to the skiff. Oops.

Character Name: Elizabeth "Betty" Ross
Fandom/Original: MCU/The Incredible Hulk
Character Journal: soothing
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? Yes!
Is it okay for him to see it? Yes!
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? Betty is a sweetheart and kind of an idealist and a pacifist. However, she's willing to place Bruce over other people because of how much she loves him.

Character Name: Jaye Rinnark
Fandom/Original: Original
Character Journal: tumbleweeds
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? Yes!
Is it okay for him to see it? Yes!
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? Jaye's done bad things, from stealing to fights to probable murder in self-defense, but she's also so utterly loyal to the people she cares about. She cares much less about strangers and she has a temper.

[shoyu]

Character Name: Sawyer "Soysauce" Sciarrino.
Fandom/Original: Original.
Character Journal: shoyu
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? Yup, human!
Is it okay for him to see it? Yup!
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? He's mostly a good guy! But Soysauce has killed around two dozen people over the span of about twelve years. All of them were slavers and mercenaries, people who would enslave or kill civilians for profit -- Soysauce doesn't exactly pride himself on having killed those people, but he sees himself as having killed "evil people," so there's no excessive guilt there. He's otherwise got a pretty clean slate! Lots of freeing enslaved people, helping kids find their lost puppies, helping out orphanages, so on and so forth. Huge bleeding heart, loves helping people.

Character Name: Kazama Souji.
Fandom/Original: Battle Royale II.
Character Journal: ironsights
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? Yup, human!
Is it okay for him to see it? Yeppers.
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? LOTS OF MURDER. When he was fifteen, Kazama was forced into Battle Royale, where he and all of his classmates were made to kill each other until only one person survived -- Kazama killed eight other students and "won" that game. And then he became a terrorist sniper and killed a buttload of government and other terrorist people. And then participated in blowing up a bunch of government buildings, killing even more people. Murder murder murder. :( He doesn't particularly enjoy killing, and in the long run he just wants to watch his totalitarian government crash and burn so other people won't have to suffer like he did. But yeah, plenty of sinning, welp.

[constructum]

Character Name: Ariadne Sanderson
Fandom/Original: Inception
Character Journal: constructum
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? Yes! It's a lovely soul.
Is it okay for him to see it? YES! YES PLEASE! OMG YES!
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? All the things she is hiding from people...so pretty much, all the things in inception. She lies, but for good reasons, okay?!


Character Name: Kara "starbuck" Thrace
Fandom/Original: Battlestar Galactica
Character Journal: astrogate
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? Yes. Even if she doesn't think so at times.
Is it okay for him to see it? Yessum.
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? Well here is the thing, there is a lot to see, some of which are sort of spoilery. But besides being a walking spoiler for BSG, she's a kickass viper pilot, who honestly would lay down her life for others. She also comes from an abusive family, and tends to drown all her issues in alcohol. So I guess if you ever do want to poke at her, we can always work out more besides the obvious things. :)

[seethemoon]

Character Name: Superboy / Conner Kent
Fandom/Original: YJA
Character Journal: this one I'm a lazy bum
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? Yeah but he will probably be able to tell it's man-made
Is it okay for him to see it? yeah
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? His anger issues mostly, him going JEROOOY LENKINS at everything and his pride.

Oh and that one time he broke Robin's back I guess. He's a super hero though so he hasn't done anything truly evil, not when he's aware of what he's doing anyway.

[hisfinestact]

Character Name: Jaime Lannister
Fandom/Original: A Song of Ice and Fire
Character Journal: hisfinestact
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? Yup!
Is it okay for him to see it? Yup, with one exception (see below)!
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? One attempted murder (though depending on Loki's standards, killing King Aerys might count as one successful one too) and other forms of killing people in service of various kings/his father, incest, lying (though not as much as you'd think). As I said to the Loki player, I'm happy to let him bring up any of this how you'd like, except for the thing where Jaime pushed Bran out of a window, which needs to stay quiet atm.

Character Name: Tommy Conlon
Fandom/Original: Warrior
Character Journal: grndnpnd
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? Yup!
Is it okay for him to see it? Yup!
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? Tommy's a physically violent guy, but he mostly deals with it in legitamized ways (ie. being a soldier, fighting in the MMA ring). He's also got a history of substance abuse stuff. But that's about it! Most of the rest of Tommy's baggage comes from life/other people (and in his opinion, God) being terrible to him.

Fandom/Original: Original
Character Journal: puppydogeyes
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? Y
Is it okay for him to see it? Y
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? She's killed a lot of people while under orders as part of a private sort of army that she had no choice in being a part of. There's some stealing in there too, military or corporate secrets. Lots of casual sex, lots of drinking. She's really a good soul at the core of it though, puppy-dog loyal and kind of self-sacrificing in that regard.

Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? Y
Is it okay for him to see it? Y
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? Murderer, escaped convict, misotheist (Furyan? idk if that would show up). Not a psychopath or sociopath, though, he kills out of necessity to survive freely, and doesn't feel any guilt for it. He does feel guilt for the few people that have tried to help him and died along the way.

Character Name: Josias St. John
Fandom/Original: Original

Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? Y
Is it okay for him to see it? Y
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? Liar, manipulator, prostitute. Splits his life in two, has a fake personality he wears with all the people he interacts with in the real world - most especially his father - in order to act freely in the virtual world.

[fronds]

Character Name: feferi peixes
Fandom: homestuck
Character Journal: fronds
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? yes! troll, but it's there.
Is it okay for him to see it? yep.
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? trolls/alternians as a race are kind of... not good. as children, they're expected to kill each other. as adults, they're expected to kill each other with extreme bias. genocide is a-okay. they live by a hemospectrum, which is a colour wheel of blood; red is the lowest blood and therefore also the lowest class, purple is the highest and therefore royalty. feferi has the highest blood colour possible, so she should be a murderous tyrant. she's not.

while she doesn't kill those lower than her, and actually wants to take care of them instead, she does have a lot of blood to her name. she's orphaned a lot of trolls. every troll has a lusus, which is sort of a guardian animal. she feeds them to her own lusus. it's for a good cause, of course - if she doesn't feed her lusus, it could unleash a psychic blast that would kill every troll in existence - but it's still a lot of deaths. she's excused from it at home due to being the future empress and all.

also, she should be dead. she tried to kill eridan for hurting her boyfriend, and he got her first. but she's a nice girl. :(

[fuckinghysterical]

Character Name: Laughing Beauty
Fandom/Original: Metal Gear Solid 4
Character Journal: fuckinghysterical
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? Yessir
Is it okay for him to see it? Absolutely.
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? HA. Well, a cult invaded her village when she was a teenager, rounded up her friends and family and for some reason saved her for last. Calling her the "Devil's Child", they told her that she could live, but she had to aid in killing and torturing her family -- while laughing the entire time. Fearing for her life and knowing that they would die either way, she went through with it, imagining the blood that she shed to be the ink of an octopus to try to make the deed somewhat easier.

Because of that, she hasn't been able to stop laughing since.

After that, she was recruited into group with three other women with similarly tragic stories and was told that she could be cleansed of her pain and sorrow if she killed Solid Snake and was given a suit that resembled an Octopus to help her cope with the war (yes, this game has fucked up ways of dealing with things, I know). For at least four years, she was stationed in South America where leading an army called Pieuvre Armement, she was basically doing guerrilla warfare against rebel armies there. Anyway, she probably killed a bunch of people there (as there's at least six random soldiers she kills in the game), though she probably really doesn't care about their deaths at all (compared to the incident in her youth, which scarred her for life).

Ohhhh Konami and their weird shenanigans.

[statsraaden]

Character Name: Stats
Fandom/Original: Original
Character Journal: statsraaden
Is there even a soul for Bartleby to see? Likely, although he doesn't believe in souls.
Is it okay for him to see it? yup
What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? Stats is a good person and always put others before himself. He's set to improve the world he lives in... er, he used to live in. He's also a family man and is very close to his sons (they're not here and he misses them). He's usually patient and loving with everyone, except if said person reminds him of the horrible war he's been through (and is set to not letting happen again). He also is not the proudest of what he did during this war (he tried to escape capture, without any success, and he might have done a few bad things in the process and while trying to save people's lives).

What sort of things might there be to see on their soul? HE ATOMIZED A BEAGLE. But he feels bad about it so maybe it balances out. Also he might've started a few pub fights back in the day. And possibly has Strong Opinions about Certain Admirals. Basically he's pretty much the average human :|b

And then Alex goes crazy for a few years. And then he comes back home to find a town full of monsters and almost everyone gone. He kills a shit ton of monsters, mercy-kills his mother when she's on a torture device, kills a lady with a drill in self-defense... Lots of stuff.

Have at it. `_`
