character information
name: Isaac "Felix" Gates
canon: Red vs. Blue
canon point: immediately after stepping through the "gateway" in season 13, episode 7: "Locus of Control"
age: unknown; estimated at mid- to late-twenties. (headcanon: 26)

(canon) background: wiki link
(original) world: n/a

abilities: wiki link again

strengths:
◦ charm: Felix is a "people person." He's able to quickly and easily read a room, immerse himself in social situations, and win the trust of perfect strangers. He does this without relying on lies or flattery; his exact words are extremely honest. He uses humor and an easygoing attitude to disarm people's suspicions, then uses their expectations against them.
◦ manipulative: For years, Felix orchestrated half of a civil war without ever drawing suspicion to himself. He plays an excellent friend, giving reassurance where it's needed and crushing any doubt that doesn't serve his purposes. Although he doesn't relate to people, he understands them, and he can easily push buttons to make people act or pull strings to keep them in line. His manipulative nature is displayed most prominently in his relationship with his partner, Locus. Whenever Locus shows an inkling of doubt, Felix is there with a hand on his shoulder and a few keywords to bolster his partner's wavering resolve.
◦ cunning: Both in and out of combat, Felix is quick-thinking and a master of deception. He's a showman, capable of effortlessly distracting a crowd with his right hand while his left poisons the well. If accusations are slung his way, he's able to deflect with ease, and he can usually turn it back on the accuser. He rarely finds himself in a situation he can't worm his way out of ... unless someone uses his weaknesses against him.

weaknesses:
◦ sociopath: Felix genuinely does not care about anyone or anything but himself. He is willing to commit genocide for money. He's willing to sacrifice his allies to get what he wants. Even his partnership with Locus — which is, by far, the closest relationship Felix has — is built on a foundation of what Locus can do for him. Felix is a ruthless survivor to whom guilt is a mystery. His violent and impatient nature would have gotten him killed long ago, were it not for Locus always having his back.
◦ sadist: Whether it's physical, mental, or emotional, Felix enjoys inflicting pain. When faced with an inferior opponent, Felix doesn't go for a direct kill: he plays with them. He inflicts nonlethal wounds; he attacks their confidence and conviction; he laughs as people scramble to defend themselves. For Felix, it's fun. The kill is, in his own words, "better than anything money can buy."
◦ ego: Felix's ego is undoubtedly his greatest weakness. He loves himself. He thinks that he's incredible; that being him is "awesome"; that he is infallible. If there's a mistake, it's ultimately on someone else, because there's just no way it's his fault. Felix's ego leads him to underestimate people time and again. It also gives him a love of his own voice; as such, Felix talks way, way too much. It's gotten him in trouble more than once, and yet, he can't help himself. His inability to acknowledge his shortcomings and to admit defeat is what leads to Felix's inevitable downfall.


job skills (optional): mercenary; freelancer; gun for hire
housing (optional): in an apartment on a shared floor with his castmate, Locus ([personal profile] inreality), provided they're both accepted! Felix is extremely paranoid and would not do well sharing quarters with people he doesn't know.
