Overview: Gunther is a drunkard. He’s pretty much drunk 24/7 when not in combat. He has terrible judgment, and often hits on the nearest woman. He also laughs at almost everything, even if it’s not a joke. However, he can sober up in an instant. When sober, he’s much, much more serious, and can focus on anything he wants to. However, he’s also kind of sarcastic, and enjoys schadenfreude.

History

Gunther was born to a lower-class family. He had an abusive father, who beat him regularly, so at a young age, he ran away. He was found by an older gentleman named Shuuji, who took him in. Sensing his potential with chi, Shuuji trained him, for some reason choosing to teach his Zui Quan. Gunther learned the style quickly, becoming a veritable master by the time he was 16. As a reward for learning, Shuuji gave him the power of the Black Mask, training him to use his chi powers before sending him off to college.
At school, he was that guy who was always partying, and got terrible grades, barely managing to graduate with a degree in electrical engineering. College introduced him to the same vice that had made him hate his father, and he had fallen to its siren song. However, he didn’t care. For the next 3 years, he never kept a job for longer than three months. He managed to keep getting money, to the surprise of those who knew him, and he used it to keep buying alcohol. He did, however, take one thing seriously: his duty as a Maskman. He developed his sobering-up ability specifically so he would be able to fight better. He’s currently embarked on somewhat of a quest to find the other Maskmen.

Sample RP: “Bartender, another.” Gunther asked, setting the mug on the counter.
“Gunther, I love you man, but you’ve been here all day. You’ve had 20 beers. It’s 2 am. It’s time to go.” The bartender said, with a somewhat pained look on his face.
“Joey, you know I don’t have anywhere to stay.” Gunther said.
“Then you shouldn’t be spending all of your money on alcohol.” Joey said, sliding a card across the counter.
“This is the third AA card you’ve given me this month.” Gunther said, without even looking at it.
“You really need help man.” Joey said.
“If I needed help, I’d ask.” Gunther said, standing up and swaying a bit before stumbling out the door of the bar.
