(To whom I occasionally refer as "Dimitri", but that's neither here nor there.)
* I don't know why I like him so much. (I basically adopted all the "assassin" Gold Saints, for some reason.) I think maybe it was the laugh, or the fact that his face is SOOPAR EXPRESSIVE. And the way he's kinda sulky at Asian Goldies when he wanted to kill the Bronze Saints is funny. Ruinin' his fun.
I do actually love the guy. Sure, he's clearly insane, and he's a mass-murderer, but he realised the error of his ways -- too late. He lived believing "might makes right", which, being as he's a superpowered warrior-priest rightfully expecting to fight in a potentially-humanity-destroying holy war before he was thirty, and was furthermore no doubt driven crazy by his extremely creepy powers, is an understandable position for him to have taken. And then he died, adn went to hell. After having a window to it his entire adult life. And he came back to save Athena and humanity. And died again, poor bastard.
* Er, none. In my headcanon, Deathmask really goes more for friends-with-occasional-benefits, and random hook-ups. Less of those now that he's gotten some therapy and started drinking a whole lot less. I bet you can guess his two main fuckbuddies! That's right, Aphrodite and Shura. Nearly always at Aphrodite's insitigation.
Also, he hooked up with Shiryuu at a party once, I think.
Also also, he's attracted to Aiacos, but he's not planning to do anything about it until Aiacos has a chance to get over some clear issues of his own.
* In my view, Deathmask's best friends are: Aphrodite, and then slightly differently Shura. He also has a weird sort of neighbourly friendship with Mu, post-death headcanon-wise, and also is a regular chess opponent of Kiki's. Plus, he gets along pretty well with those Spectres who elected to join Sanctuary once they found themselves kicked out of Erebus while Kore does some spring cleaning.
* *pause for laughter* Ahhh... Views on him vary widely depending on what country or continent the fans are from. I think his redemption/redeemability?
* I couldn't venture to say. Saint Seiya has a lot of shitty things happen to all the charaters, but their dealing with these adversities, whether they survive or end up trapped forever in stone or what, is why the story is powerful. So, yes, I have roleplayed for years thing that happen to Deathmask in a few incarnations for many years, but the series... I don't know that I should change anything before the end of the Hades arc, really?
