Who am I? Just a conscience!
Introduce yourself
Hey, howdy, hey! The name's CHRIS, and I wished upon a star from BEEN A MEMBER HERE BEFORE. My other imaginary friends include N/A. DON KARNAGE and I are so very eager to join the Worlds of Disney circle of life!
Character basics
Character name: Don Karnage
Age: Unknown
Species: Wolf
Birthplace: Unknown
Movie: TaleSpin
Custom title: Speaking to you with my voice
Why'd you pick this character? Karnage has been one of my favorite Disney Afternoon villains for a long time. He's patently ridiculous yet can also be oddly threatening when he wants to be, and I think it'd be interesting to throw him in the mix here.
Character appearance (try to get at least 2 or 3 sentences for each section)
Hair description: Karnage has light red-brown fur running across his entire body. In terms of cutting it, he keeps it closely shaven.
Facial description/mood/expressions: Karnage's prominent snout and nose is his main distinguishing feature, with short pointed ears accentuating his sharp teeth. In general, he is a very energetic, often impatient individual, and his face can often reflect that, twisting and contorting in anger or excitement depending on the situation. He can also shift to looking rather menacing should he be in the mood.
Clothing style: Karnage's primary mode of dress is a blue coat with gold and red trim around his hands. Up and down the front are various gold buttons, and a red sash adds a drop of color across his right shoulder and top of his chest. His pants are plain and he wears sturdy black boots.
Body build: He is primarily lean and thin. That being said, there is definitely some upper muscle in his arms and torso. His legs have a good deal of strength in them despite their lean build.
Any unique traits (optional): N/A
Original character analysis (In your own words and please be thorough)
Personality:
Don Karnage is an incredibly extravagant, magnificently egotistical pirate who steals all that he surveys. For him, nothing is too tall a mountain to climb for his ego; no treasure is forbidden or rare enough for him not to at least try to steal it. He conducts himself with a strange, eccentric grace that bulldozes over any possible contradictions. His accent varies up and down depending even on syllables, his gangly nature accentuates his broad gestures, and he even manages to be threatening in his mangling of language. He has a generous side and a certain code of honor (he'll leave enemies alone and mostly unharmed if they ultimately don't have what he wants), but other than that he has little in the way of scruples. He is in every way a pirate.
History:
In another life, Don Karnage's title of "Don" was not merely for show. No, he used to be a rich noble, born into it and raised with the finest things and clothes that money and riches had to offer. But as he grew up, he found himself growing bored with an idle lifestyle, hemmed in by what was Expected of him. As soon as he grew old enough, he ran off, taking a big chunk of his family's money to help finance a lifestyle of adventure and romance. He soon collected a group of ne'er do wells and created a pirate crew, as well as planes and the fabulous Iron Vulture so that they could plunder as they saw fit.
Over the years, he developed a reputation as one of the most feared, if not always successful, pirates in the world, eventually settling around the Cape Suzette area. Though he could never quite get into Cape Suzette itself, as it had a layered defense system of artillery cannons that even the Iron Vulture couldn't stand up to. Still, he raided and pillaged fairly successfully in the areas around it even if he could never get what he saw as the big prize.
Until he caught wind of a special jewel, a power amplifier, that Shere Khan had developed, as well as some other components that would be on various Khan Industries planes within their area. Crafting a plan, he stole the jewel, seeing it as the first step in his master plan. Unfortunately, that got impeded when a young runaway who was part of his crew named Kit Cloudkicker took the jewel for himself. Through various chases involving Kit and a cargo pilot named Baloo, Karnage recovered the jewel, though not before revealing to his minions what his ultimate creation and plan was: creating a lightning gun that could destroy Cape Suzette's defenses and plunder the city, with the jewel as its power source.
As the lightning gun decimated Cape Suzette, Baloo, Kit, and their friends Rebecca, Molly, and Wildcat led Karnage's men on a chase through the city, eventually finding a way to disable the lightning gun by flying into it and driving Karnage away. He vowed to fight another day and now counted them among his enemies. They continued to clash many times, and a fierce new rivalry was born....
Ambitions:
Karnage's primary ambition is a simple one: power. He wants to accumulate enough power and riches to become the most dangerous and feared pirate in all the skies and over all the seas. There's not much he won't do to get it, either, even at the expense of his own allies/henchmen.
Strengths & abilities:
Despite his various eccentricities, Karnage is actually quite skilled in a number of ways. He is an ace pilot and custom built/designed things like his personal plane and the Iron Vulture, and he is a very good shot within those vehicles. He has enough of an understanding of science to get his head around things like combining different components to make something dangerous or know how to transport things that would ordinarily be difficult to do so. And he is a champion sword fighter, though of course he fights unfairly every chance he gets.
Flaws:
Karnage's main issues are ones of temper, impatience, and tunnel vision. He gets very angry very easily, and this can often be used against him by enemies to rile him up enough that he'll make tactical blunders. This goes hand in hand with his impatience if, say, his henchmen tell him something he doesn't want to hear. His tunnel vision in accomplishing something no matter the cost can also be a hindrance rather than a virtue when it ends up depleting his resources or harming him in some way.
Likes:
Treasure, flying, fighting, singing, good food and drink
Dislikes:
Baloo, Kit, Rebecca, Louie, what he sees as incompetence, people thinking he's stupid
Fears:
Death, the Cape Suzette authorities, Shere Khan, not being able to get what he wants in his lifetime
Anything to add?:
N/A
RP SAMPLE:
"Work, you lazy nothing-for-goods!" Don Karnage yelled in the bowels of the Iron Vulture at his scrambling crew. "I want everything to be tippy-toppy shape, yes-no?" A pause as the others seemed to be trying to register his words. His teeth flashed in a growl. "NOW! I WANT EVERYTHING NOW NOW NOW!"
*That*, in addition to the stamping feet, got their attention, and they quickly all went back to work, tightening screws and adjusting bolts. He gave a satisfied nod as he walked back up to the main deck, unfurling a recently acquired treasure map on a table.
They'd had a bad run of luck lately, failing to make ends meet beyond upkeep on the Vulture and their planes as well as food. That dratted Baloo, the turncoat Baloo, and that annoying woman Rebecca had been a thorn in his side even more often lately, and every time their interference cost him! Cost him dearly! And he was about fed up with the whole thing, yes he was!
But this map, one to a pyramid in the desert, was promising. It led to the treasure of an ancient noble and his family, and he was nothing if not for graverobbing should it serve his purposes.
His lips curled into a vicious sneer. "And then once again, the great DONNN KARNAAAGE will be the premier pirate of the skies!" His wicked, cackling laughter echoed throughout the ship.
Soon. Very soon indeed.
