CHARACTER NAME: Nicolae Carpathia
CHARACTER [REAL] AGE: 26
SERIES; Left Behindbecause I hate myself
TIMELINE; The end of the first book, before things get really wild.
PERSONALITY:
In all seriousness, though: At first blush, Nicolae Carpathia is a saint. He's only the President of Romania, but he has all sorts of big ideas for world peace and ending world hunger with the Eden Project's miraculous agricultural formula. He's a humble man who is uncomfortable with being thrust into the spotlight, and reluctantly accepts the mantle of United Nations Secretary-General (which in this world, is essentially a hop, skip, and a jump away from being World Sovereign. This canon has weird ideas about global politics. I digress).
But it's all a carefully-crafted front. When you really get down to it, Nicolae Carpathia is evil. (He's the Antichrist. It sort of comes with the territory.) He's a genetically-engineered baby with two dads, a mom, and a Satan. He killed off his birth dads when he rose to power because they annoyed him. He is extremely manipulative; other people are essentially action figures to him if he can't use them as chess pieces.
Even before he rose to political power, he was ruthless. People who got in his way, either when he was a businessman or a member of the Romanian House of Deputies, seemed to...disappear. In a display of his ruthlessness, he shot both of his mentors when he became Secretary-General because they had outlived their usefulness, and then used his mind-control powers to make everyone else in the room think that they'd just witnessed a terrible murder-suicide.
Nicolae is also charismatic. Like, supernaturally charismatic. Like, give-a-speech-at-the-United-Nations-consisting-only-of-inane-UN-trivia-and-naming-each-member-nation-in-turn-and-have-everyone-love-you-for-it-and-want-you-to-be-Secretary-General, charismatic. Which is a little insane, but hey, crazy Antichrist powers, we can roll with it. Basically, he's one hell of a charmer, and with very few exceptions (i.e. the protagonists), pretty much everyone in canon is falling all over themselves to do whatever he wants. People Magazine named him Sexiest Man Alive after his ridiculous speech (I am not kidding. Like? Guys??? THE RAPTURE JUST HAPPENED. THERE ARE MAYBE SOME MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO FOCUS ON). So he is extremely used to getting his own way with little to no effort. He is going to be so grumpy when he tries to turn his swag on as a normie and can't.
While Nicolae is supposed to be this smooth talker who speaks English perfectly, he has what seems to be a terminal case of Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness. And he never, ever, ever uses contractions. He's not a robot, he's just Smort, okay?
CANON SUMMARY:
Canon Wikipedia; character Wikipedia
RADIANT AGE/APPEARANCE;
Nicolae's been bumped back down to 16 years old. Sure, he was precocious at that age and even was profiled in Time Magazine (seriously), but that doesn't mean he's going to like this.
His PB is Aaron Tveit.
RADIANT ABILITIES;
While powered up, he'll have one angel wing and one demon wing, and he'll be wearing something similar to a homestuck prince outfit covered in iridescent scales. He won't have any weapons, but he will have the ability to create illusions to distract the Shadows and briefly ensnare them with his (highly nerfed) canonical brainwashing ability if he can make eye contact. Of course, that will be less and less effective the more powerful the Shadow is...'cause where would the fun in that be otherwise?
(He won't be able to use this on his fellow Senshi unless plotted out beforehand. Nicky not being able to use his mind control on people when he actually can is going to make him absolutely crazy.)
RADIANT PARTNER:
NAME: Nightfire
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Nightfire is an iridescent, bioluminescent, pale-rainbow-colored snake, with three pairs of little feathery wings and a pair of tiny demon horns. She is sarcastic, but usually only to Nicolae; she acts like an innocent bean to everyone else. (Hm. Knowing her Senshi, that seems legit.) She also likes to drape around his shoulders and curl up on his head. Messing up his hair will annoy him, so, bonus.
SAMPLES:
LOG SAMPLE; Nicolae Carpathia has never been late to anything in his life, which is why this is just so annoying. He'd rather skip these classes entirely, but he has also never played hooky in his life, which is also annoying.
Hence, why he's jogging down the hall in his school uniform (I HATE THIS SO MUCH.), Nightfire draped over his shoulders. "Go, Nicky!" she cheers as he runs. "You can do it!"
"I do not need your encouragement," he says through gritted teeth, taking a corner at all speed.
"Okay, but--"
Wham. Nicolae slams right into another person, and Nightfire leaps off of his shoulders just before the collision. "I tried to warn you," she says sweetly, hovering nearby. "I could smell someone here."
"And you thought that your vapid cheering was more relevant information?" he grouses, clambering to his feet. "I apologize - that was rude of me, to not look where I was going."
ET SAMPLE; [A slight feeling of exasperation comes through the ET, and it's plain in the Senshi's voice besides.]
All right. I clearly misunderstood what was going to happen when I agreed to this. Becoming a teenager once more was not exactly on my, ah, what is the term...bucket list.
Even if my secondary school experience was wildly different from what this seems to be. For example, I did not have a...pet flying snake.
[A petulant female voice comes over the ET:] (Nicky! I'm not your pet!)
Fine. Companion. Flying snake companion.
[Peep that Romanian accent, kids. Someone please ask him if he's a vampire.]
Important Note: Due to the potentially sensitive nature of the entire series, I will have an opt-out permissions post for interacting with Nicolae.

CHARACTER NAME: Nicolae Carpathia
CHARACTER [REAL] AGE: 26
SERIES; Left Behind
TIMELINE; The end of the first book, before things get really wild.
PERSONALITY:
Nicolae Carpathia...how do I even begin to explain Nicolae Carpathia?
Nicolae Carpathia is flawless.
He has two Armani bags, and a silver Lexus.
I hear his hair's insured for $10,000.
I heard he does car commercials. In Romania.
His favorite movie is The Omen.
One time, he met Robert Redford on a plane, and he told him he was pretty.
One time, he punched me in the face. ...It was awesome.
In all seriousness, though: At first blush, Nicolae Carpathia is a saint. He's only the President of Romania, but he has all sorts of big ideas for world peace and ending world hunger with the Eden Project's miraculous agricultural formula.
