Name: Rorschach (Walter Kovacs) Age: 17 Creature: Human Description: [img=http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs50/f/2009/302/0/8/Rorschach_by_night__wind.jpg] Quote: 'Hmm...' Characteristics: Rorschach is a very mysterious man and does not speak often. He prefers the name 'Rorschach' to his real name 'Walter'. He is usually a very calm person, even in the face of danger. His mask scares people, simply by them looking at it. Walter is quite unstable and crazy but hides this particularly well. Backstory: Walter Joseph Kovacs was born on March 21, the son of Sylvia Kovacs, a prostitute, and an unknown father only known to Walter as "Charlie". His mother was frequently abusive towards him. At the age of 11, Walter became involved in a violent fight with two older bullies, and subsequently his living conditions were finally looked into. He was removed from his mother's care and put in a children's home, where he rapidly seemed to improve, excelling at art as well as gymnastics and amateur boxing. After leaving the home when he was 16, Walter took a job as a garment worker in a dress shop, which he found "bearable but unpleasant" partly because he had to handle women's clothing. It was here that he acquired a certain dress fabric that he would later fashion into the mask he wears. There is only one particular reason Rorschach doesn't like Acantha: because he feels like it. Therefore there is not really a solid reason why he does, he just does. His favourite weapon is his knife, he likes to get up close and personal.
