RETURNING: Y, Kanan Jarruskanyounot
〈 CHARACTER INFO 〉
CHARACTER NAME: Crowley (sometimes calls himself Anthony J. Crowley)
CHARACTER AGE: Technically ageless since he was created Before Time Existed but he looks like a guy in his 30s or 40s.
SERIES: Good Omens
CHRONOLOGY: Monday After the Apocalypse (that didn't happen) aka post-canon
CLASS: ...anti-hero? Sure. We'll go with that.
HOUSING: Probably with Aziraphale (assuming he's also accepted)
BACKGROUND: Thank Go - Sata - someone, there's a wiki for that.
PERSONALITY: Crowley is a demon who didn't so much fall as saunter vaguely downwards. What this means in practice is that he's not exactly your traditional, totally evil, sadistic, murderous, pea-soup spitting demon. He's more like that mediocre guy in your office who somehow scored a really cushy job, does the bare minimum to get by, and somehow takes credit for all the really good ideas. All his coworkers hate him.
He is, at best (or worst?) a troublemaker, a mischievous trickster type who enjoys inconveniencing people but isn't fundamentally cruel. He'll see a bunch of people at a corporate retreat forced into a paintball battle who secretly hate each other, and he'll give them what they want - turn all the paintball guns into real guns that shoot real bullets - but he'll make sure that no one actually gets injured or killed. As long as you remember that this doesn't, in any way, shape or form, make him nice. It's just more fun that way.
Crowley is also a questioner. He is, after all, the Serpent of Eden - you know the story, Eve, the snake, the apple. All he did was point out that it was silly, leaving one particular fruit tree off limits! And why shouldn't they have knowledge of Good and Evil? Crowley in fact claims that this is how he fell - asking questions. Indeed, he asks questions a lot - he questions the Almighty herself at one point, and is constantly encouraging others to question as well. Crowley always asks why, when others might be more inclined to simply accept things as they are.
It's also important to understand that, while Crowley is fundamentally not human, he's also in some ways gone native. He's lived among humans since the beginning, and he likes them. He finds them clever, imaginative, and generally entertaining. He enjoys their art, their drink, and their inventions. Humanity is far more interesting and unpredictable than either Heaven or Hell, as far as Crowley is concerned, and he does love a wild card. He's not a good person, by any means, but he clearly experiences a certain amount of empathy, from time to time, and has the capacity to care.
Crowley is a very selfish being, all things considered - he wants to preserve the world, and humanity, in large part because they provide him with entertainment - but he does have one massive soft spot, one thing that proves beyond a doubt that he is perhaps nicer than he would like to admit - his name is Aziraphale. Aziraphale is Crowley's best, oldest, and perhaps only friend. They met back in the Garden of Eden and they've been bumping into each other off and on, on accident or on purpose, for the last six thousand years. Despite ostensibly being on opposite sides, since Aziraphale is an angel and all, Crowley is almost absurdly devoted to him. And, since they teamed up with a bunch of humans in order to avert the apocalypse, they're now officially on "their own side" - whatever that means. They've got all the time in the world to figure it out, and for Crowley to figure out what it means to be a demon who apparently no longer works for Hell (?!).
POWER: Reality bending: This is super vague but in general, if Crowley believes or assumes something to be true, then it will be. A good example of this is his assumption that he can drive a 1926 Bentley through central London at 90 mph and not get in an accident. Or said Bentley can be literally on fire around him and he can still drive it from London to Oxfordshire in time for the apocalypse. It definitely has its limitations, however - he can't mess with the fundamentals of the universe in a permanent way, he can't raise the dead or travel through time or alter the laws of physics. He can just make sure that Hamlet is the most popular play of all time, or drop a bomb on a church full of Nazis but make sure his best friend's first editions stay in one piece. They're demonic miracles!
Vice sense: If someone in his general vicinity is having particularly sinful thoughts - thinking about robbing a bank, cheating on a spouse, murdering somebody, etc - he can potentially pick up on this. He'll have to focus in on it to get anything specific, otherwise it'll just be effectively background noise, especially in a city full of people doing more or less sinful things. I'll have a permission post for this and will only use it with the consent of all players involved.
Serpent of Eden: He can shapeshift into a big, black snake with a red belly.

COMMUNITY POST (VOICE) SAMPLE: [ The man on the video looks like he's trying to keep the goth vibe alive wayyyyy past the time when he should've just dropped it. Dressed in black, with red hair that clearly has a lot of product in it, and sunglasses on indoors which just make him look like even more of a tool, he's sprawled lazily on a sofa. ]
So, being kidnapped to another dimension is great and all, yippee, just what I wanted this week, good to see America is just as tedious in this dimension as in mine, but - there's really only one question worth asking, here.
Where can I get a decent drink?
