Personality
Detailed Description of Character's Personality:
Walter: Quiet, a loaner, not in touch with the rest of the people around him. Never does small talk, if he has to talk to someone as Walter he is to the point, dry and quick.
Rorschach: Is a cool, collected and really smart detective that can notice the most slight change in someone´s personality, attitude etc. He also is always thinking ahead. Rorschach is also a brutal individual, he doesn't mind killing someone, if he thinks they deserve it. He has no trust in the police force, or in the legal system, and feels that he is the only one that can bring some calm to the streets.
Weaknesses: He is out of touch with society, he is awkward around women, and most people if not wearing his mask. His ways have made him a criminal in the law´s eyes, and he is now wanted by the police as much or more than the criminals.
Powers/ Abilities: Rorschach is a normal human being of average height and weight. Though he possessed no super abilities, Rorschach is a gifted athlete and investigator. He possesses high, potentially genius level intelligence. His only "weapon" is a grappling hook made by his ex-partner Night Owl.
Main Enemy:Crime
Other Tidbits:
Character's History: Walter grew up with his mother, a drug-addicted prostitute. He would constantly walk in on her jobs, believing she was being hurt. She would beat him whenever he did this. When he was ten, he was attacked by two bullies, who called him whoreson, shoved a half eaten fruit into his face, and told him that he would make them appointments with his mother. He lashed out at the boys, shoving one of the bully’s cigarettes into said bully’s eye. He proceeded to tackle the other boy tearing at his cheek with his teeth, and pulling his hair and mouth. He was pulled off of the boy by passing pedestrians. After this incident, he was sent to Lillian Charlton Home for Problem Children (homage to Charlton comics). At the school he excelled in religious education and literature, and was a natural athlete, excelling in boxing and gymnastics. During his time there, he wrote an essay commending Truman on his bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, believing that it was a necessary sacrifice that saved millions of lives.
It was while he was in high school that he learned of his mother's death, a force-feeding of Drano from her pimp. His one word reply to the event: "Good." He was sixteen.
The same year as his mother’s murder, he dropped out of school. He took a job as a garment worker. Here his phobia of working with women, or anything relating to women began to take affect. This was caused by his being beat by his mother whenever he saw her doing sexual activities. When working at the factory, a women ordered a dress, made of fabric, that consisted of two liquids, black and white, which were constantly shifting in response to heat and pressure making images like a Rorschach test. The women did not like the dress, but Walter grew to love the fabric. When he was 18, Kitty Genovese was brutally murdered while people looked on from their tenants.
No one responded to her screams. Kovac was certain that Kitty was the women who ordered the dress, and this spurred Kovacs to the belief that he needed to personally avenge her and many others like her, the victims of crime. He made her dress into a mask, while still keeping the moving patterns.
Later on, he would team up with Nite Owl, another superhero who used many technical gadgets. Together the two fought against organized crime, bringing down the Big Figure and the underboss. One year after teaming up with Nite Owl, the team was invited to a meeting by Captain Metropolis. He tried to create a new team called the Crimebusters. It was here that Kovac met The Comedian. Everything fell apart and Kovac left with Nite Owl. At some point, Nite Owl and Kovac went their separate ways.
In 1975, a young girl named Blaire Roche, believing that she was connected to the Roche chemical company, a family worth a fortune. The kidnappers were in erring, kidnapping the daughter of a bus driver instead. Rorschach heard of the Kidnapping, and after days of waiting without word from the kidnappers, he began imagining her abused, scared, and scarred for the rest of her life. He remembered his childhood, and decided to offer up his services to the parents, promising them he would return her unharmed.
Rorschach went to the underworld, visiting bars and roughing up the drinkers. He put fourteen of them in the Hospital, but the fifteenth one told him that a man named Gerald Grice had kidnapped the girl, and to check a disused dressmaker somewhere in Brooklyn.
Rorschach arrived at the shop around dusk, and the building had no lights on in it. In the back of the warehouse were two German Shepherds, both of them fighting over a bone. Rorschach avoided the rear entrance, avoiding the two attack dogs. Rorschach entered the building from the front door, commencing a search for the girl. When looking in a furnace for clues, he discovered a little girl’s underwear. Commencing the search, he discovered a meat cleaver and a recently used cutting board.
dogs, he discovered, to his horror, that the bone they were fighting over was a human femur. That was when Walter stopped, and the real Rorschach started,
At ten forty-five, the man returned to the store, calling to the two German Shepherds, Fred and Barney, trying to get them to bark. He brushed off their silence, and entered the store. As he passed by a window, the dead body of one of the dogs came busting through the window in front of him. He backed away in fright, shouting that he hadn’t done anything. Suddenly, the other dog was thrown through the door window, hitting the man in the back and knocking him down. Rorschach then walked silently through the door, lifting the man up, forcing him against a pipe, and handcuffing him to the pipe. He then put a saw in front of the man before picking up a gas canister and spreading its contents around the room, all the while in silence. He then took out a box of matches. He then lit the match, dropping it into the kerosene. The man did not make it out, and Walter Kovac ceased to exist, and Rorschach was born.
Role Playing Sample;
The night covered the hole city as the cars and people walked and went by on whatever they were doing. On top of an abandoned building was a man. He was sitting, looking downwards, wearing a trenchcoat and fedora. He took out a small yellow note book and started writing.
" Rorschach journal, July 24, 2009. Air smells like blood and sin. Criminals run amok in the streets, killing, destroying, attacking the innocent, they are evil, they must be punished.
Woke up early this morning, landlord was yelling, he wants rent. He threatens to trow me out if I don't pay the last 3 months, I just walk by, he wont trow me out. He is afraid of me, even without the mask, I can feel he is afraid. I don't know why, but I don't care, I am alone in this world. But that's the only way I can live in it.
This city has no hope. Its heroes are dead or missing, its inspiration is lost. I cant help them find it, but I can take care of the city, guard it, clean it, while they search.
Thirty new bodies discovered this morning, no one knows who to blame, what criminal to pursue. I do, I know who´s fault it is, us. We made this criminals, we made this society, and I will clean it.
Rorschach closed his journal, he had heard a lead on the jokers whereabouts, he would go investigate said lead and come back with answers, by any means necessary.
