Personality: Existing is a burden to Lovecraft and he makes sure everyone is painfully aware of that. Very slothful by nature, he spends the majority of his time sleeping, and when he's not asleep it's usually because he has some kind of contract to fulfill by someone who gave him an offering. He's very anxious when around people and hates social interaction, but people who "get" his idiosyncrasies have an easier time getting him to come out of his shell. Or if they just give him food. He's very food motivated.
CRAU: N/A
Powers: Unlike Sylvando, I have a whoooole spiel for Lovecraft. I'm totally fine with a lot of this getting nerfed and later regained!
The Great Old Ones: The name given to Lovecraft's "Ability". In the Bungo Stray Dogs canon, there exists such a thing as Abilities: supernatural gifts possessed by a select few. They're often named after works from a character's author namesake. In Lovecraft's case, however, all powers that he possesses are not an Ability, proven when Dazai's Ability-cancelling No Longer Human cannot actually cancel whatever Lovecraft does. It would be better to say that BSD Lovecraft is a Great Old One in the vein of Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos, and this is just his natural state of being. Here are all of the things Lovecraft is shown to be capable of:
✦ The ability to partially or completely transform his body to that of a giant eldritch monster. Partial transformation generally involves him unraveling his arms into tentacles. ✦ The ability to regenerate his body, from the smallest of injuries to his entire body being torn apart by an explosion. Regeneration is not instantaneous, and bigger damage takes longer to regenerate. Because of this, he is basically immortal. ✦ Superhuman strength and senses. It's very, very easy for him to just casually rip people apart with his tentacles if need be. In terms of senses, he's able to pick up on small details that most people wouldn't, like noticing he's being trailed from far away. ✦ Extremely high pain tolerance. He's able to shrug off being shot and hit by a truck, but he does complain about being sore when overworked. ✦ The ability to breathe and live underwater. His home is the ocean! ✦ Resistance to supernatural manipulation. His own existence causes madness in those who see his monster form. As such, abilities that induce madness do not work on him.
Inventory: Just the clothes on his back!
Likes: Someone who understands him for who he is, someone who gives him food, someone who knows when to leave him alone.
Dislikes: He doesn't like being manipulated or bossed around, even if it's part of his job. People who want to fight him for no reason are annoying. He also just...doesn't like people in general unless they meet the above criteria.
Ideal dates/venues: Somewhere quiet with food and no one else around, preferably near the ocean.
