Name: Mordecai Heller
From: The webcomic Lackadaisy Cats
Appearance:
Age: Twenty eight
Gender: Male
Personality: Mordecai Heller outwardly appears to be a prim and proper, if emotionally distant and distinctly creepy fellow from New York. … He is prim at least, but being a cold blooded murderer, rumrunner, thief and lock picker is somewhat outside the realm of ‘proper’. He’s HIGHLY OCPD, with some distinct sociopathic traits and utter ineptitude at anything resembling a social life. Everything has to be just so, the napkins folded right, the table cloth straight, clothes pressed and ironed, cufflinks in place, so on and so forth, or else he gets quite distressed. He doesn’t have a sense of humor and flirting is beyond him. Essentially he is an asexual misanthrope with no desire to change anytime soon, dead-pan and annoyed on a good day. Coldly intelligent and lacking in any sort of mercy or sense of justice, Mordecai kills not for fun or for a thrill, but for money, and no, there is no angst about it. He’s really not a blood thirsty maniac, but it is suggested that one attempt not to insult or disgust the triggerman as it tends not to end very well.
Backstory: Mordecai was born to a pair of German-Jewish immigrants in a New York slum in 1899, the oldest of three sisters, one of whom died as an infant. His father passed on while he was young, though his mother is still alive today. He was a bookish nerd as a child, and felt responsible for and took care of his younger siblings. He had a pretty normal life growing up, though it is hinted that ~*something*~ happened, or a great deal of somethings happened, to make him the man he is today, but chances are no one knows just what they are but him, and he’s not sharing.

He took a job as a bookie at thirteen for various legitimate and… otherwise operations, having always had a head for numbers. At the age of seventeen, he killed his first man, and at 21, he joined the Lackadaisy speakeasy and started his career as a hitman, bodyguard and rumrunner.

Due to certain extenuating circumstances however after the death of Lackadaisy’s owner, Mordecai left to join another group called Marigold, and came to work under A man by the name of Asa Sweet. Which is where he is to this day, until a more profitable opportunity shows up.

Moral Standing: Neutral, though more likely leaning a bit towards evil considering his astounding lack of empathy.
Dreams: At the time, to just be comfortable, it seems. Neat, orderly, with a nice constant flow of income. You know, everyones dream! Only with a lot more murder.
Fears: Disorder, disarray, dirtiness. Anything that slips out of the neat little box he has set up. He can deal with change nicely, but he absolutely abhors chaos.
Extra: He’s a crack shot, but he’s also pretty good with just about any other pointy/weighty/on fire/everything together item he can get his paws on.
