Character Name: Adolf Hitler
Character Series: Afterschool Charisma
Character Age: 16
Background:
There are few fan sites for Afterschool Charisma, so here's my take on the canon. A group of scientists sponsored by several government agencies all around the world have started a project to clone famous historical figures. Ever wonder what Mozart could have done with a few more years to compose? Well, let's find out. Could Einstein or Freud have advanced their respective fields of study even farther? Now they have the chance. The clones are housed at St. Kleio's, a private school set up to train the clones in anything their 'originals' (the people they were cloned from.) would have known. And of course, to take that knowledge farther, if possible.

Each year, the sponsors are invited to the school to witness the progress of the students. This is also the only real contact the clones have with the outside world, as they are extremely sheltered until they graduate. The school does treat them fairly well, though, as long as they follow rules. If you don't....well, then you're a failed experiment. It's unknown what happens to failed experiments, but they do tend to disappear.

Of course, none of that explains why they created some of the clones. Everyone can agree that more Mozart symphonies or Einstein theories are beneficial. But what could anyone want with a clone of Adolf Hitler? Well, Adolf would really like the answer to that question himself. He keeps to himself at school, and his only real friend is Shiro. (The only non-clone student who attends the school because his dad is the chairman.) The other clones tend to avoid him, because even though he's one of the nicest students in the school, he's Hitler. Who wants to be friends with Hitler?!? This is probably what led him to join the Dolly cult.

That's right, there's a secret cult at the school, formed by the clone of Rasputin. (Why they cloned him is anyone's guess.) They worship the first successful clone. Dolly the sheep. I'm not kidding. Thus far, it's mostly been a group of students praying to escape the fates of their originals. Not surprisingly, it attracts kids like Hitler and Joan of Arc. Mostly the ones who are facing pretty grim fates. It is also widely believed that small stuffed versions of Dolly the sheep will bring the students good luck. These are even carried by students outside of Rasputin's cult. This fear of facing the same fate as one's original is spreading among the students due to the recent assassination of the schools first successful graduate, JFK. Unknown to most of the student body, the teachers have been receiving threatening letters from an unknown organization that intends to wipe out the clones. But Freud has been hacking the schools computers, so the information is beginning to leak out...
Personality:
The historical Hitler is infamous for orchestrating some of the greatest atrocities the world has ever seen. Who knows what St. Kleio's school was expecting from the clone of Adolf Hitler. What they got was a sweet, even tempered, all around nice guy. Hitler is a good student, polite to his classmates, and respectful to his elders. He never questions the teachers and always does as he's told. A pacifist, he says himself that he 'wouldn't hurt a fly.' He doesn't like conflict, and always tries to mediate disputes between his classmates. He criticizes Joan of Arc for excluding Shiro from what she sees as ‘clone only’ activities, saying that they can never understand one another if they don’t try.

Given that the school places special emphasis on knowing one’s original, Hitler knows well the crimes committed by his. The other students know this as well, and tend to avoid Hitler, unsure of how to relate to him. But he doesn’t blame them for it. He’s resigned to living a lonely life. In fact, he believes that the reason for his existence is to atone for the crimes of his original. So anything that happens to him? It’s his punishment. And it’s completely justified. According to Hitler, anyway. In his own words, he is 'the most hated and detested clone there is.' Shiro has tried to talk him out of this attitude, but with little success. Hitler is afraid that if he allows himself to cast off the burden of guilt, he will wind up becoming more like his original. There is nothing that scares him more than this.

This combination of fear and self-loathing led him to join the Dolly cult that has formed in the school. The students in the cult pray to Dolly the sheep, asking to escape the troubles that plagued their originals. Some of them, Hitler included, participate in a form of self-hypnosis designed to separate one's own identity from that of their original. For Hitler, his fellow cult members also provide a support network of sorts, even if they aren't really his friends. He doesn't take the cult quite as seriously as students like Joan of Arc do, (for example, Hitler wanted to let Shiro join and he isn't even a clone.) but it is still an important part of his life. Actually, it's his only social life apart from Shiro.

Perhaps as a side effect from associating with the Dolly cult, or maybe just a quirk of personality, Hitler is actually very superstitious. He really believes that the stuffed Dolly charms will bring luck to their owners, whether they are clones or not. This is why he gave one to Shiro. In addition, he believes that it's bad luck to mistreat the dolls or to disrespect Dolly herself. He immediately connects Mozart's attempt at suicide with the boy's earlier mistreatment of Shiro's Dolly. Interestingly, when Mozart survives, Hitler is quick to tell Shiro that it was 'Dolly's divine mercy' that saved him. He even gives Mozart a Dolly of his own, heedless of Mozart's opinion of the sheep.

Despite claiming to be completely resigned to loneliness, in reality, Hitler wants friends more than he wants anything else in the world. This is apparent in the way he treats Shiro. When Shiro has a problem, Hitler provides his friend with a sympathetic ear and often good advice. He gives very uplifting pep-talks, actually, (complete with free plushies) and is quite understanding. And he is always willing to drop whatever he's doing to help Shiro out if he needs it. Actually, even though Hitler hates to be in conflict with other students, he has no problem arguing on behalf of a friend.
Abilities:
He's a clone of Adolf Hitler, and as such, he has no supernatural abilities whatsoever. He's been well trained in political science and military history at school. Like all of the clones, he has been drilled thoroughly in everything his original would have known. He turns out to be a fairly persuasive speaker when you get him going on a topic he cares about. He is also quite craftsy and is well known to be good at sewing and making stuffed animals. His stuffed 'Dollys' are considered to be the best in school.

Sample Entry:
Anything out of his old journal [livejournal.com profile] springtime4me should suffice.
Also he will naturally be keeping his memories and regains. I feel like he deserves to see Mayfield's finale.
