Sweeney Todd

Character's Full Name: Sweeney Todd [Was: Benjamin Barker]
Nicknames: Sweeney, Mr. Todd.
Age && Birthday: 38. 12th July.
Occupation: Barber
Class: Middle
Appearance;
Benjamin Barker
Benjamin Barker was a clean man. Always neat and tidy, Freshly Shaven, neat haircut, clean clothes – normally a suit – and always smelling of some new exotic fragrance, as he always tried out his fragrances before offering them to customers. His eyes shone a brilliant blue, showing how bright his future was set to be. He was indeed a handsome man.
Sweeney Todd
His eyes now sunk into his head, a deep grey colour. Masking all emotion and hiding whatever ghosts of his past now haunt him – and will forever haunt him – dark rings make them sink back into his head. His hair, once neatly cut, now grows mad and wild a deep jet black with a grey almost white streak running through it – like some mad scientist. His face has is shadowed by stubble, nothing bad just a slight hint that he might not have shaved since last week.
His clothing, once neat and presentable now consists of Black pin stripe trousers. White shirt and brown waist coat. He has a denim effect barbers coat and a black leather jacket for going out. Rags hang from his belt on his trousers as do his “holsters” where he keeps his shaving knives. A black tie hangs loosely around his neck.
Personality;
Benjamin Barker
Benjamin Barker was ever the gentleman. He was polite and kind. He would hold the doors for ladies attend parties and join in conversations when he was invited into them. He would go to town every Saturday and do some shopping accompanied by his gorgeous wife, Lucy and eventually their Daughter, Johanna, Who he just loved to show off to people. It was one Saturday when the events happened that would change his life forever.
Sweeney Todd
Sweeney Todd is exactly the opposite to Benjamin Barker. He hides away in his barber shop - only polite to get more customers, only polite because he has to be – he certainly won’t hold the door open for any ladies and the only way Mrs. Lovett can get him into town is to drag him there. He won’t attend parties unless forced, not that he gets invited to many parties anymore. He feels nothing anymore – pain, sadness, happiness... nothing. Well that is how he acts. Emotionless – a bit like a Zombie – except he can feel emotions but the only one he never feels is happiness anymore. He hides his emotions beneath a mask though, so no-one knows the real secret about Sweeney Todd.

History;
Benjamin Barker
Born Benjamin Barker on the 12th July. He was born into a middle class family. His father was a barber and from a young age Benjamin took an interest in his father’s work. Whether he liked the work or not he was going to have to follow in his father’s footsteps, as was the tradition in the barker household.
His child hood was not a very interesting one so i won’t bore you with the details. However, when he turned 18 he took over his father’s business and soon after his father died of an illness. His mother died soon after his father and that’s when he met Lucy. Love at first site is one word used to describe the couple and shortly after they met they got married. After a couple of years of marriage, Johanna was born. They were thrilled and took every opportunity to show the little baby girl off. However all stories can’t have the happy endings we wish them to have. Judge Turpin grew jealous of Benjamin Barker and ordered for Beadle to plant some coins the suit jacket. He then accused Benjamin Barker of stealing and exiled him for life. Nothing was seen or heard of Benjamin Barker since.
Sweeney Todd
After being exiled and remaining away from Fleet Street for many years he returned. Nothing like the old Benjamin Barker, in a hope no-one would recognize him. But he did hope he came home to find Lucy and Johanna. The story was quite different though. He came home to find no-one but Mrs. Lovett. Lucy had poisoned herself after Judge Turpin had failed to win her over and raped her. Johanna was taken into Judge Turpins care. HoweverBenjamin Barker, I mean Sweeney Todd, will not give up until he gets his daughter back. He remains good friends with Mrs. Lovett - the only person who knows his true identity and together they are hatching a plan.
Family Relationships;
Robert Barker – Father – Deceased

Your RP;
[Re-used. Was my old Sample post on NPLL v1. So my rping will be much better, promise]
"Fancy a shave, Sir?", his voice held no emotion, it was plain a dull as he asked the question and removed his jacket to reveal his off white shirt and brown sleeveless jacket. 'yes' came a reply from a short, brown haired man. A small smile broke across his pale features, it was twisted and most would say 'evil looking'.
"Very Good, sir, it'll be the closest you've ever had". He picked up a pot with shaving cream in it and coved the man’s face and neck, making sure he had covered the area he would shave well. Putting it down he picked up his razor, sharpening it before he started to shave the man’s beard. Moving around he moved the razor and carefully cut deep into the man’s throat.
A warm crimson liquid oozed from the cut and there was a gargling, the man reached for his throat but was soon pale and lifeless. Splatters of red were on his off white shirt sleeves. He pressed a pedal making the chair tip back and a trap door open, the man slid off the brown leather chair and landed with a thud. Todd picked up his coat and hat and threw it down after him.
His smile had broadened and he wiped the blood from his knife and readied for the next customer. Putting on a jacket to hide the blood, which he would once again removed when he had his next "customer". This kept the blood on his shirt out of sight of the customer until they sat down. Then they couldn't see his blood splattered shirt. Of course a few customers he shaved and let go but only so as not to arouse suspicion.
The delicious smell of pie drifted up from Mrs. Lovett’s Meat Pie store, only you wouldn't want to eat them if you knew what was in them. He exited through the door and made his way down the stairs.
