Timelord.odt - Belrock

Description:

Belrock Haswealth Bolline (Or Belrock H. Bolline), simply called Belrock, is the de facto leader of Ameniah. He completely controls the country and whatever he says goes, but proving that he’s currently in power is like proving there is an illuminati. Belrock is an Astatos, which means that he is neither living nor dead, but he’s not a Hybolian either.

Appearance:

Belrock has a pruney and wrinkled face characteristic of someone with advanced age (early 70’s), and while his hairline has neither greyed nor receded per say, the hairs on his head have become thin and fragile (Something still characteristic of old Age.) He has dark brown hair, completely short in the front and well-trimmed, but the hair on the backmost part of his head is long and, in a ponytail (His hairstyle basically looks too youthful for someone his age. Zorin Blitz’s hairstyle from Hellsing is about what it looks like, but with the addition of the small ponytail.) He has mutton chops and a connected mustache (Similar to Yhwach from Bleach). He also has a stripe of facial hair on his chin (similar to Joakim Brodim, the lead singer of Sabaton). (Should he wear spectacles?) He wears a doubled-breasted captain’s long coat (or Trench Coat) with an armband and official army metals, army Jack Boots and tan Galife Pants (Giving him a uniform that generally looks Soviet or Nazi-like.) His trench coat is usually open to freely expose his torso. Belrock doesn’t appear to be wearing a suit underneath his trench coat. He wears a belted chainmail hauberk instead. However, Belrock wears a tie and suspenders (which clip to his belt) on top of his chainmail, and the shirt he’s wearing underneath is a collared shirt.

Belrock likely carries a rapier, amongst other tools such as a walkie-talkie on his belt.

Belrock is usually seen wearing gloves and a silver tiara with a headband made of bandages underneath. His forehead, when unexposed, has three extra eyes. The eye to the left is black, the eye in the middle is silver, and the eye on the right is gold. Belrock additionally has one eye on each of his palms, for a total of five extra eyes in addition to the two eyes any normal person has. The eyes on his palm are never open when all of the extra three eyes(on his forehead) are open. When only one of the three eyes are open, the eyes on his palm become the color of that eye. If Belrock has two eyes open, one palm-eye will assume one color, and the second will assume the color not already chosen.

Background:

I have no idea what the bulk of Belrock’s background and history should be like, but I think it’s very important. Please help me come up with something solid.

I also want to improve his motive somewhat, particularly in why he wants to kill all Dualics (though this might not be necessary)

Belrock’s last name is Bolline, which is a type of ritual knife. Any character (with a last name) named after a ritual knife means that they come from a linage of Ancient Amenian Nobles. I think Belrock should be the ancestor of Athame’s arranged husbanded. The one she killed her father to get away from. Also the one that physically assaulted and abused her when she was locked up in a prison cell.

Personality:

Belrock eats and sleeps and dreams only so he can see Ameniah become a utopia. He considers himself a necessary evil. Belrock must do everything he can to save this country. He must save it from ourselves.

Every society must have a figure of power. In a democracy, that power is given to the people. There are many, many problems with that. We don’t care about Democracy, we just think we do. In fact we only care about who has the power in a society when that someone happens to be running our society into the ground; as long as that doesn’t happen, we don’t care if whether or not we live in a democracy. The funny thing about free will is that you don’t feel any different without it. In fact, just to allow our society to function on a day to day basis, we have to willingly surrender all of our rights to “representatives” in the first place. And we don’t sufficiently care about who gets those responsibilities enough to prevent bad people from getting into that kind of power.

Democracy does not prevent oppression. Someone will be vulnerable to oppression no matter what kind of society you have. In a democracy, if 51% of people vote for one thing, the remaining 49% have no choice but to play along. Because the power, even with representatives, is inevitably split between the people, nothing gets done. Everyone fights with each other. That’s what makes a dictatorship appealing. If a dictator says something happens, it happens, end of story. Things get done, and if Ameniah has learned anything during its last crisis, it’s that there are times where things need to happen as quickly as possible and you can’t have that when you have to fight amongst yourselves. At least not if they expect to survive the ordeal.

Democracy does not prevent our lives from falling into ruin. People don’t know how to run a country, they are too selfish and greedy. When people vote for things, they put what they want personally ahead of all others; A society with characteristics that cater to their preferences and them alone. People have no idea what would be best for the society as a whole. They don’t even know what would be best for themselves.

We may think that having representatives is a good solution to our own ignorance, but when you have a bad people, you are inevitably left with bad representatives: Bad, greedy politicians are products of a bad, greedy population. Garbage in, garbage out. Every time you replace the bad politicians, you’re just going to be left with even more bad politicians to replace them with. He makes it worse by giving people things. Gives the greedy people more of what they don’t deserve. More, more, more. Then when we are sedated, when we decide to turn a blind eye. Our representative is free to turn towards his own greed.

Even if politicians weren’t all bad and greedy, politicians are representatives, not leaders. He is bound by the ignorant opinions of the people that prop him up, lest he be kicked out of office or never get in on the first place. If the people believed that fires could be put out by pouring gasoline onto them instead of water, then the representative is in no position to refute that claim. He must put gasoline onto the fire. A leader, however, has the freedom to use his better judgement.

That’s why we need a leader. A leader with absolute power.

For all of the above reasons, this is why Belrock usurped the Amenian democracy and refuses to relinquish it. He believes he must save his country. Teach the population to like what it needs even if he has to spoon-feed it to them like a baby with vegetables.

Even if you thought dictators are bad, Belrock points out that people are so simple minded and caring of only about themselves that they would completely overlook the rise of another dictator that came to steal all of their liberties.

Belrock is good at giving speeches. He is very good at appearing emotional to make whatever he’s talking about look very sincere, similar to Hitler.

“The main difference between a monarchy and a democracy is that in a democracy, I take all of your stuff with your consent as opposed to without it.” OR “The main difference between a monarchy and a democracy is that in a democracy, you surrender your freedom to me with your consent as opposed to without it.”

“In either case, both forms of Government remain stable because the people are passive enough to do anything about it. That’s because it’s something you don’t feel like you really need, and you don’t.”
