1. The self-proclaimed jade-skinned God himself has decided (at freaking last) on a defining "look". (Like Ivy has her pigtails/plaits, etc...) *eyerolls* Sharp grey suit, white shirt, black tie, messy fluffy fuzzy hair, and a rahi just in case he has to prove his point at any time... (I think he's personifying my liking of Franz Ferdinand, y'know?) An ever-knowing, sleepy-eyed, sardonic half-smile, he's happy to manipulate, threaten, kill, coerce or bribe his way to getting what he wants. "Failure is not an option."
Edit: Oh, and he's decided that now he ought to smoke, too. Geh. :P

2. I also found "his song", especially a few lines out of it... :P Just seems to sum him up pretty well, ne?

'The Fallen', Franz Ferdinand

So they say you're trouble boy
Because you like to destroy
All the things that bring idiots joy
Well what's wrong with a little destruction?

And the Kunst won't talk to you
Because you kissed St Rollox Adieu
Because you robbed a supermarket or two
Well, who gives a damn about the prophets of Tesco?

Did I see you in a limousine
Flinging out the fish and the unleavened
Turn the rich into wine
Walk on the mean
For the fallen are the virtuous among us
Walk among us
Never judge us
Yeah we're all...

Up now and get 'em boy
Up now and get 'em boy
Drink to the devil and death to the doctors

Did I see you in a limousine
Flinging out the fish and the unleavened
5000 users fed today
as you feed us
won't you lead us
to be blessed

So we stole and drank champagne
On the seventh seal you said you never feel pain
"I never feel pain, won't you hit me again?"
"I need a bit of Black and Blue to be a Rotation"

In my blood I felt bubbles burst
There was a flash of fist an eyebrow burst
You've a lazy laugh and a red white shirt
I fall to the floor fainting at the sight of blood

Did I see you in a limousine
Flinging out the fish and the unleavened
Turn the rich into wine
Walk on the mean
Be they Magdelen or virgin you've already been
You've already been and we've already seen
That the fallen are the virtuous among us
Walk among us
Never judge us to be blessed

So I'm sorry if I ever resisted
I never had a doubt that you ever existed
I only have a problem when people insist on
Taking their hate and placing it on your name

So they say you're troubled boy
Just because you like to destroy
You are the word - the word is Destroy
I break this bottle and think of you fondly

Did I see you in a limousine
Flinging out the fish and the unleavened
To the whore in a hostel
Or the scum of a scheme
Turn the rich into wine
Walk on the mean
It's not a jag in the arm
It's a nail in the beam
On this Barren Earth
You scatter your seed
Be they Magdelen or Virgin
You've already been
Yeah you've already been
We've already seen
That the fallen are the virtuous among us
Walk among us
If you judge us
We're all damned

I bolded the bits I like best ;) (taken off The official Franz Ferdinand website). And as an aside, it's a whole lot less emo to listen to than the lyrics would suggest. :P

I love my bad-boy. :)

Edit: Whups, messed up a tag there... *fixes*

For some reason, this seems to be bordering the territory of your "Ral" quite a bit.

Interesting song. I imagine I'd have to hear it to get it's full effect.
And while I'm thinking about it, have the tags you add to your journals actually been of any use yet?

[keaalu.livejournal.com]

Well, depends what sort of tag you mean, html tags (which I always mess up somewhere along the line by missing a " or /, and which was what I was referring to) or the "LJ tags" with descriptive words in them and I have NO idea if anyone's bothered using THEM. :P

And Iios is a WHOLE kettle of fish different to Ral. ;) Ral does things because he can, Iios does because he thinks he's entitled to, because he's some sort of superior being. :P Describing the difference is a pain, but in my mind they're nothing alike - I mean, I LIKE Iios, to start with. ;)
