Character Name: Professor Hojo(Dr. Viasti A. Hojo)
Series: Final Fantasy VII
Age: 30

Physical Description: Hojo is not an immediately imposing figure. He's rather tall, at a surprising 6'5", but abysmally thin and with a lankiness that he never seemed to leave behind in adolescence. He has a long face and spidery hands, and his hair is an oily black and often hangs in his face. His features are angular and harsh, and a pair of round, wire-rimmed glasses perch in front of his calculating black eyes, though they give him a rather owlish look considering the stringiness of the rest of him. While he can dress well if the situation calls for it, he normally prefers more simplistic clothing that's easy to replace should it get suddenly splashed with dangerous chemicals.

Personality: A psychologist would probably have a field day with him. While Hojo could only very rarely be called friendly, he does tend to be easygoing and laid-back -- at least with people he either wants something from or doesn't consider beneath him. The rest of the time he's high-flown and egotistical, with a habit of routinely insulting or talking over whatever unlucky individual happens to be nearby(this habit has gotten him severely injured on more than one occasion). He's not afraid to get his hands dirty, either; everything is more or less an ethical grey area to him, and that's when he gives any thought to morality at all. For the most part, though, he doesn't really have an idea of what right and wrong mean and has a very hard time understanding why other people seem so caught up in it, and why his research is considered wrong and his results unworthy simply because of the means by which he came upon them.

Abilities/Strengths/Weaponry: While Hojo can't specifically break the laws of nature, he's very good at stretching them to their limits. He's quite intelligent, dispite what many would choose to believe, and what he lacks in talent he makes up in tenacity. If he considers a problem interesting and worth solving he can usually be counted on to figure it out(even if it does take a while). On an unrelated note, he is a decent shot with a pistol, and almost always carries one when he ventures into the northern islands.

Weaknesses: ...The trick, then, is that the sorts of problems he considers interesting aren't usually problems that cast him in the best light. He has almost no regard for human life outside himself and a very select few others, and that's not a quality that makes a person particularly popular. He's not prone to making friends easily, and should he ever get in trouble, well, he's on his own, and if said trouble is not somehow scientific in nature he has a very poor grasp on how to deal with it. To call him sadistic would suggest that inflicting suffering was the point of tormenting his unfortunate captives; he's more destructively curious and somewhat impervious to the feelings of anyone else.

History: Pending(and constantly under construction) due to character collaboration. See the timeline for details/changes.

INJURY INVENTORY: As of Friday Nov. 1st: Blackened eye, gashed left arm, wretched hangover.
