● abilities: Marksmanship, educated palate (can tell teas by their smell, not really an ability but he's just a human kid)
● strengths: Determined: Ciel's family was murdered on his tenth birthday and he was sold to a cult attempting to summon a demon. Rather than fall into catatonia like the other children, Ciel survived and formed a contract with a demon for the sake of vengeance. And making those who attempted to wipe out his family the same shame and humiliation that they made him feel.
Mature: Ciel's family was murdered, so he was forced to grow up very quickly to be a nobleman worthy of the Phantomhive name and Earldom. To solidify his position, he became well-educated and opened a company of his own.
Nobleman: As a Victorian era noble, Ciel dresses well, speaks well, and has had access to teh best education available in the time period.
Genuis: Ciel is incredibly intelligent, border genius if not crossing that line. He was given a nobles education and, even then, exceeds most expectations for a noble his age by starting and running a successful business (candy, food toys, entertainment).
Loyal: Ciel is loyal to his queen, and therefore his country. But also to his fiancee, Elizabeth, who he has, on several ocassions, risked his own safety to protect.
● weaknesses: Generally weak health: Ciel's health is very delicate, a trait he inherited from his mother as well as suffering from asthma. He gets sick very easily when exposed to the elements or is under extreme stress.
One eye: Because of the contract he made with Sebastian, Ciel only has one good eye since he wanted to be stronger than anyone else. (The more obviousl a contract is placed, the stronger the bond and the demon.) It's often covered.
Cynic: Ciel genuinely believes that other people act solely on matters that benefit them or that they can’t be trusted. The only people he’s shown to fully trust, or almost fully, are Tanaka, Sebastian and, briefly, Madam Red.
Stubborn: He detests being seen as weak or needing help. More often than not, he'll risk his health rather than admit he needs help or is sick.
PTSD: Ciel was starved and branded by a cult who sacrificed children to summon a demon. Though he escaped, he lives with constant reminders, has become generally distrusting, grim, prone to nightmares, or gets lost in memories of it. After the memories or nightmares, he panics and falls into fight or mode. He even sleeps with a gun under his pillow.
● skills (optional): genius-level intellect, businessman, faustian contract, violinist, speaks Latin, French, and a smidge of German. ● housing (optional): no preference
Without fail, Ciel continued to have nightmares ever since his escape from the cult that had tormented him and countless other children. Even after nearly four years had passed, they still came but so did the awareness that, now, he was outside the cage. They plagued him but the power it had over him and his rest had lessened until it wasn't terror that woke him but anger. Hatred.
Everything that kept his butler loyally at his side.
They didn't strike every night but Sebastian had gotten to know when they were. The young earl was always more determined after a nightmare, a little more viscious in handling the affairs the queen assigned him. Or when it came to situations that struck a little closer to home. He wanted plans made to deal with Sphere Music Hall in a way that they wouldn't be able to even attempt to continue their blood theft. Of course, it was clear just why this situation bothered him so much.
Before Edward had come to him, he would have handled it like Noah's Ark Circus and Baron Kelvin. Or Jack the Ripper. Now though, Elizabeth was invovled.
"There's a theatre across from Sphere Music Hall, put a bid on it in Funtom's name, would you Sebastian?" It was not a request, however politely he put it. "I have an idea."
This was why his butler stayed. A sly mind, unafraid of playing dirty or getting blood on his hands. Just as the head of the Villainous Nobles should be but never so much so that he would turn his back on his lady and the dangers she had gotten involved in.
