YOUR CHARACTER'S ITEMS: All of your character's belongings are on his person because Ortech basically had no idea he was sentient before now! Whoops. A smartphone may be acquired at the hospital, the Sheriff's office, or basically anywhere KO can find a normal-sized sucker to run an indoors errand. SPECIAL NOTES: Rather than in the hospital, Knock Out will regain consciousness in a streetside parking spot of your choosing. He will experience the same initial haziness of memory as everyone else, but when that haziness clears up, he will not 'remember' false memories alongside his real ones. He's more than welcome to be included in others' false memories, however! They will remember him as a regular everyday vehicle, regardless of any unusual features he may or may not have in vehicle form. Upon revealing that he is sentient, he will be offered special housing accommodation! When replying to the Housing post, just let us know what kind of housing he'd express preference for rather than picking an actual house, and we'll add it to the list + provide you with relevant details. (Assuming he wants his own residence at all.) If you have any questions or concerns about the above, don't hesitate to contact the mods!

Hannibal's greatest strength is his mind, shaped by a perfect mix of intelligence, curiosity, and discipline. His innate intelligence allows him to perceive and understand situations and their potential consequences with unusual clarity and accuracy. Under normal circumstances he is able to remember everything he experiences, in exact detail. He is a quick study, able to learn new information and master new skills with ease.

It is through his curiosity that these trait finds practical expression. He has had many occupations over the years, from artist to professor to surgeon to psychiatrist, and has excelled at each one. He is fascinated by art, music, and literature from many periods, and studies cultures from around the globe, learning their languages, philosophies, traditions, and culinary techniques. But his greatest curiosity is in humanity itself. He takes great pleasure in observing certain individuals, learning how they operate in the world. Most people he finds boring, of little consequence. When he finds someone interesting, however, he studies them, then experiments on them, creating scenarios designed to test them or shape them. He gets into their heads, altering the way they think, to nudge them in interesting directions. His skillful manipulations have his subjects dancing like puppets, utterly unaware of their strings, or who holds them.

Ultimately, however, it is discipline that allows him to accomplish all this. That is not to say that he has not made mistakes. He is, despite what many may think or wish to believe, human. But in the vast majority of situations he is extremely meticulous, every action planned down to the millisecond, every possible outcome studied and accounted for. It serves his deep drive toward survival, of course, but it also serves a higher purpose: beauty. Instead of an externally imposed morality, Hannibal is guided by an internally composed aesthetic. That is why he kills the rude to transform their bodies into works of art and their organs into gourmet dishes. Such people can be made more beautiful by their deaths.

WHAT ARE YOUR CHARACTER'S WEAKNESSES?:

One of Hannibal's central weaknesses is his pride. He is almost always excruciatingly careful in his machinations, but the times in which he has acted impulsively have often been due to his need to respond to some affront to his pride, such as others taking credit for his work (such as his murders). At times his arrogance leads him to underestimate others, which can lead to miscalculations in his plans. And then there is love. To Hannibal, love is weakness, and the only way to defeat that weakness is by killing and consuming the object of affection. Such situations have been extremely rare in Hannibal's life. He would say that he has only ever loved three people: his sister Mischa, who he did not kill but did consume; Abigail Hobbs, a fledgling cannibal who he saw as a surrogate daughter and then killed in an attempt to prove he could not be changed; and Will Graham.

It may be said that Will Graham himself is Hannibal's biggest weakness. Hannibal's pride, arrogance, and affection for the man allowed Will to deceive him, to plot against him in an attempt to capture him. When it all went wrong, the intelligent thing to do would have been to forget Will, killing him if necessary. But Hannibal loved him, and surrendered his freedom rather than lose him forever. And it was his inconvenient affection for the man, this culmination of pride and arrogance and love, that allowed Will to drag them both off a cliff and to their presumed deaths in the surging sea below.

WHAT EVENTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES IN YOUR CHARACTER'S PAST HAVE IMPACTED THEM THE MOST?:

Hannibal was orphaned at a young age, leaving him to be like a father to his beloved young sister Mischa. When Hannibal was a young man, a peasant who worked on his estate murdered Mischa. In his grief he consumed her remains, an attempt to wrestle into understanding his deep and uncontrollable love for her. This incident was the genesis of both Hannibal's practice of cannibalism and his beliefs on the destructive nature of love.

Hannibal spent an extended period of time in Florence as a young man. It was there that he fell in love with the art, architecture, and culture of the Renaissance. It is also where he came into his own as a killer, becoming known (in anonymity) as The Monster of Florence, or Il Mostro. It is there that the murders that first followed what would be come his signature style were committed: a man and a woman, arranged in homage to a scene in Botticelli's Primavera, with organs removed for consumption. In this act, Hannibal solidified his association between death and beauty.

Hannibal's relationship with Will Graham has been transformational in a number of ways. It began as an experiment to see if he could slowly mold the empath into the monsters he hunted, turning him into a murderer. Much to Hannibal's surprise, Will began to become something more than an experiment, than a piece to be moved on a chessboard and surrendered at the opportune time. Will saw Hannibal in a way that most others could not, saw the reality behind the same actions that others would willfully misinterpret. It has awakened in Hannibal a desire to be known by another. and led him to trust Will in a way he did not trust others. When Will betrayed that trust, it led Hannibal to an act of barely controlled rage, a night of carnage so foreign to Hannibal's careful, methodical homicide. His love for the man led him to allow himself to be captured just to prevent Will from being able to forget him. At the last, he came to the realization that he had an inconvenient compassion for the man, that he could not treat Will like he treated everyone else, as puppets in a play, as livestock to be slaughtered at the appropriate time. Will was an equal. Unfortunately, this compassion blinded him, and allowed Will to drag him off a cliff to a presumably mutual death in the sea below.

WHAT MOTIVATES YOUR CHARACTER?:

Hannibal's two main sources of motivation are curiosity and a devotion to beauty. Almost all of his actions stem from his desire to discover how certain situations will resolve, or certain people react, when he reaches in and manipulates circumstances. And everything, from his culinary skill to his attention to his wardrobe to his dealings with those he considers rude, are oriented toward making the world more beautiful...according to his own conceptions of beauty.

WHAT IMPRESSION DO OTHERS TEND TO HAVE OF YOUR CHARACTER?:

To others, Hannibal is extremely kind, gracious, and generous. He is unerringly polite, in every situation and to friend and foe alike. He is the sort of person that you go to in a crisis, because he will always be willing and able to help. Those whose minds are troubled are drawn to him because he has a talent for helping people sort their thoughts and find clarity. He also throws marvelous dinner parties, generously sharing his culinary skills with his guests.

IN WHAT WAYS DOES THAT IMPRESSION DIFFER FROM WHO YOUR CHARACTER REALLY IS?:

Hannibal has been said to be wearing a finely tailored "person suit". That the world sees a man, while beneath Hannibal is a much darker creature, something tantamount to Lucifer himself, a fallen angel who revels in the beauty of the darkness. His politeness is borne out of his devotion to beauty, and God save those who are rude, because Hannibal will not. He cultivates the trust of others because it makes it easier for him to manipulate them. When troubled people come to him, he takes advantage of their fragile state to control them, even mold them ways that strikes his fancy. And his dinner parties feed his desire for praise and the satisfaction of seeing people being unwillingly made cannibals.

HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER HANDLE CRISIS OR ADVERSITY?:

Hannibal deals with crisis with utter calm and equanimity. In most cases the crisis is something he has foreseen as one of the possible eventualities of a situation, and thus he already has well-considered plans for how to respond. However, even in entirely unforeseen circumstances, he calmly analyzes the situation, gathering as much information possible, and then acts as necessary to ensure his survival, further his plans, or increase beauty.

WHICH 5 THINGS WILL YOUR CHARACTER REMEMBER UPON ARRIVAL, AND WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THEM?:

The Palermo Chapel - Hannibal remembers everything in perfect detail, and keeps all memories within his mind palace, the heart of which is his memory of the Palermo Chapel, known in particular for the large memento mori mosaic inlaid on the floor. He will remember the chapel, but it will feel somehow empty to him.

Mischa - Hannibal has never forgotten his sister. She has haunted him for decades, and will continue to do so. He will remember her name, what she looks like, and that she is his sister.

Primavera by Botticelli - Hannibal has been obsessed with the Primavera and the rebirth within violence it portrays. He has sketched it over and over, and even recreated part of it with corpses. It is deeply carved into his memory.

Abigail Hobbs - Hannibal grew very close to Abigail, a young woman who had been a fledgling murderer and cannibal herself, taught by her father. He felt paternal toward her, and planned to build a family with her and Will Graham. When Will betrayed him, making those plans impossible, he slit her throat. He will remember her face, name, and his fondness for her.

Will Graham - Will Graham is the most important person in the world to Hannibal, and has fundamentally transformed him in many ways. What Hannibal remembers is a moment in Florence, sitting with Will before the Botticelli, his heart full of love for the man sitting beside him. He remembers telling Will, "if I saw you every day, forever, I would remember this time."

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU FEEL WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER?:

While Hannibal is by nature a killer, he is also extremely adept at fitting in wherever he finds himself. He does not kill compulsively, and can go long periods of time without committing a homicide when the circumstances require it. Therefore, I do not anticipate any problems with him fitting in to life at Wayward Pines.

SKILLS, ABILITIES, & PHYSICAL WEAKNESSES:

While not technically supernatural, Hannibal has some notable abilities. First, he has an almost preternaturally sharp sense of smell. If you have been in a room in the past few hours with someone he knows, he can tell merely by detecting the lingering scent of their perfume or aftershave. He is also capable of diagnosing illness by scent, including certain types of cancer. Second, he has incredible strength. He is capable of carrying a full grown man and killing a person by snapping their neck with his bare hands. He is also able to endure great physical violence when a fight does not go his way.

He has no notable physical weaknesses.

INVENTORY:

Hannibal has the clothes on his back...a white button down shirt and grey sweater (both blood-soaked and with matching bullet holes in the front and the back), plain but elegant slacks, Italian leather shoes. Tucked in his pocket is a corkscrew. For the items not with him at his canon point, he will have a three-piece suit and a silk tie.
