Basic Information[/center][/u][/color][/size]
Full Name: Johann Krauss
Age: Unspecified
Gender: Male of course
Birthday: again unspecified.
Codename: Dr. Krauss, Agent Krauss, etc.
Classification: Ectoplasmic human...?
Abilities: He has the ability to release his ectoplasm in order to enter any inanimate object, gaining access to its nueral system and taking control of it. It can be living, dead, or inorganic. He can escape most physical harm due to this form he has. He needs no food or sleep, and can establish contact with other dead spirits due to his former work as a medium.
Alignment/Occupation: B.P.R.D.
Special Skills: While building a house of cards would be rather amusing admittedly, his skills lie with his encyclopedic knowledge of the mystical. He is a strong researcher as well, able to work at all times.
Weapons: He appears to have some skill with the standard issue weapons any other B.P.R.D. agent would have.
The Look
Appearance: He is always seen in the containment suit that he has to wear. It is a pressurized suit made to keep his ectoplasmic form and prevent him from dissipating. It has an older, more steam punk look to it, and yet it appears to be state of the art for him. The most notable addition is the 'fishbowl' glass helmet and the glove from which he can release controlled amounts of his ectoplasm. Underneath that suit, or when released, he is a gaseous being, appearing to look like white vapor.
Celebrity:
Style: Like said above, he wears the containment suit so that he can avoid dissipating.
It's The Inside That Counts
Personality: Despite the faceless suit and almost inhuman entity within, Johann at least tries to remind himself that he is 'human', despite sometimes acting a bit too cold for his own good. He can be unsympathetic, in his mind, rarely does someone's emotions become an excuse for incompetence. Rules aren't something he abandons easily, (or so it appears to be that way) and he doesn't mind lecturing someone who does do so. He isn't a mean individual though, and easily strikes a chord with other intellectuals. He understands loss, and though it might not appear that way, he can relate much easier than others may assume to it. There is alot left unrevealed about him though...

Dislikes: At least 3 or more.
[Insubordination, regardless of the reasons its hard to stomach.]
[Inefficiency]
[Doesn't like doing nothing.]
Fears: At least 2 or more.
[That one day he would just dissapear.]
[Being overtaken and posessed by a malevolent spirit. ]
Weaknesses: At least two or more.
[He is extremely weak against psychic attacks.]
[If he isn't careful he can be posessed by stronger spirits.]
[If he stays out of his suit for too long he will dissolve into nothing.]
Strengths: Two or three.
[Besides the advantages of his ectoplasmic form, he can work non stop.]
[Is very knowledgable.]
[Resourceful, especially with the use of his form.]
History(at least two paragraphs): (I used the comic for alot of this, if thats okay. At least until more is revealed in later movies...)
In early 2003, an exceptionally gifted psychic medium named Johann Kraus was hosting a séance for a small group. While he was partially on the ethereal plane, the Chengdou disaster struck. No one knows the specifics, but it involved an ancient terra cotta statuette in the care of the Chinese government. The result was essentially a psychic Chernobyl. Everyone within a hundred miles of the disaster itself had their souls "consumed", reducing them to mindless husks. On the ethereal plane, however, the disaster was much greater; everyone not physically in their body within three thousand miles of the incident was instantly incinerated.
The only survivor was Kraus, and some would argue that he died as well. His ectoplasmic form survived when his body was incinerated, and knowing he would soon dissipate without a physical body, he sought out the best paranormal minds on the planet for help - the B.P.R.D.. At first he persisted in a bizarre transparent tank apparatus developed by the B.P.R.D for other purposes, and eventually the technology was sized down into the distinctive containment suit.
During that period he had become very well known in Washington for his skills, and made him self invaluable. Due to his reputation and for other reasons, he was transferred to the B.P.R.D. Headquarters in New Jersey.
The Person Behind It All
Name: Ivy
Age: 21
Gender: Female
RP Experience: I have been rping for a few years now, mostly on X-men and supernatural forums.
RP Sample:
The rain had been falling for hours now, but to him it didn't matter. He would continue to do what he had been, researching the many files that were left in the lower basement of this building. Some might wonder why he would spend his time doing that, but believe it or not it was more than him being what he was now. He actually enjoyed it, and why not? It wasn't as if he needed to take breaks. There was a wealth of knowledge that he'd hadn't seen before his time here!
But alas, he couldn't spend all of his days down here, normally in order to be on a team, he had to actually see them. He would see if they needed assistance on something, and honestly he hoped they would. It was no question that he wasn't as popular as some might think, and he had to let them know that he was 'on their team'. So with that, he closed what he was doing and turned to take the shaft back up.
