In Character Information
Name: Earl Ciel Phantomhive. He is also known as the Watch-Dog/Guard-Dog of the Queen of England (i.e. Queen Victoria).
Series: Kuroshitsuji or Black Butler.
Canon Standing: The school arc (i.e. most current arc in the manga).
Age: 13
Birthday & Astrology Sign: December 14th, 1875. He is a Sagittarius.
Arcana: The Justice

Personality:
The beginning of Ciel's life was idyllic - if one can ignore his occasional Asthma-related illness. He was a happy, loved child who looked forward to every holiday and every birthday with enthusiasm. However, when his tenth birthday arrived, everything changed. That night, his home was burned to the ground and his parents were killed within the blaze. Additionally, whilst searching for his parents in the flames, Ciel was kidnapped by a cult. They tortured and tormented him for a month - they even put him in a cage.

As time passed, Ciel saw other children killed in horrendous ways and he knew that it was only a matter of time before his captors killed him too. Something within the little boy broke. Gone was the laughing, cheerful child; gone was the child who hoped. He summoned something with his cries and it judged his ire and burning ambition for revenge with amusement. Yet Ciel was chosen worthy and the pentagram was placed on his eye. Ciel's first order was to kill those who had oppressed him. The demon did so with apparent relish and Ciel stood on top of the victims' bodies.

From that day forth, the black spirit/demon became Ciel's black-clad butler, Sebastian Michaelis. Ciel began to rely on him heavily - especially when it came to rebuilding the mansion and returning the Phantomhive name its former glory. As Ciel worked with Sebastian (or vice versa), his personality shifted again. While he retained the dark depression that he had experienced in captivity, he also learned to be confident in his abilities. To others - particularly those of nobility - Ciel became a smooth, lethal opponent. Because the young Earl looked at everything as a game, he became determined to never lose.

However, when he lost Madam Red, Ciel realized the price of playing particularly bloody games. While he never lost his resolve per se, it was clear that he regretted letting her die. Therefore, while Ciel pretends to be a cold, calculating guard-dog/watch-dog of Queen Victoria, his feelings aren't completely dead. His family in particular are the ones that stir his emotions the best, though he doesn't like to admit that he feels deeply for them. He sees emotions of that nature as weaknesses. (Sebastian is probably to blame on that front. Behind the scenes, he has slowly conditioned the Earl to be strong and reach for his goals ambitiously. Ciel's soul will, no doubt, taste better when the boy's revenge is satiated.)

In game, towards others, Ciel will hide his emotions as best as he can. The transfer from Victorian England to Hinoto-Ri will be quite shocking. However, after his initial surprise, he will quickly integrate himself into the society and use others like chess pieces. Then again, he might, subconsciously, grow close to certain individuals. He is only human - even if he is thought to be the reincarnation of the devil (by some in the manga).

He will also have to adapt to being without Sebastian, but he is already showing remarkable independence (in his current arc), so I think he can take care of himself (even if he doesn't like to (it's so much work!)). After reevaluating his goals, he will set his sights on things he can achieve alone or through the power of others.

Backstory:

Summaries of all of the current chapters. I will be taking him from Chapter 67 in particular. After seeing the position Sebastian has acquired at Weston College, he will be transported to Hinoto-Ri.

Canon Powers:

The only "magic" Ciel possesses on his own is his sharp mind/wit - which tends to be more cruel than kind; his aim with his pistol and his fencing ability (which is nothing compared to his fiancee's fencing ability). Beyond that, Ciel's true power comes from his bond with a demon named Sebastian Michaelis. There is very little Sebastian can't do, which is why he is Ciel's favorite piece to use. (Sebastian = Black Knight in Ciel's Chess game.)

* Ciel's sharp mind/wit = mind.
* Aim with pistol/fencing ability = strike.

Canon Weapons|Items:

I would like for him to keep his pistol with him. I can't imagine him going anywhere without having it stowed somewhere on his body. (I would classify said weapon under the "strike" category once again.)

Canon Allies:

N/A

Canon Baggage:

A trunk filled with clean clothing - including Victorian suits, capes, hats, shoes, underthings, socks, accessories (jewelry/ornamentations/his eye-patches/a cane) as well as his school uniform(s). Inside of said trunk, there will also be books, candlesticks, matches, pens, paper, extra bullets for his pistol and, of course, his favorite pillow. Shut up.
