[Background]
http://reborn.wikia.com/wiki/Viper
[Personality] Mammon's name is synonymous to greed, and there is no greedier character in the series than the illusionist himself. Earning money is practically a vice for him. There is very little Mammon won't do for money, and very little he would do if money is not involved. Ask him for a favor and he'll ask you how much you'll be paying him for it. "This is too difficult" translates to "I wasn't paid enough for this" in Mammon-speak. He hates leaving debts unpaid and is constantly keeping track of how much money he has in his account.
Very, very rare exceptions only happen when the Varia or the Arcobalenos are involved. The Varia is the assassination group Mammon belongs to, and while it's unlikely that he'll work for them without getting paid, it's equally unlikely that he can be paid to betray them. Of course, the latter might also be because he's deathly afraid of Xanxus. Mammon views his boss as being extremely powerful, and believes him to be undefeatable. Even against the Tenth Vongola's strongest and yet to be defeated guardian, Mammon holds true to his belief and unhesitatingly imposes a dangerous penalty on himself should it waver.
While Mammon holds immense respect and loyalty towards Xanxus, he doesn't hold the rest of the Varia in as high regard. Squalo he follows only because he's vice-captain, while he barely views and treats Lussuria and Levi as mere colleagues. He generally avoids the other members. Mammon gets along splendidly well with Belphegor though. He tolerates the younger boy's antics and teasing, as well his skinship. He lets the Italian touch him as he pleases--but, again, will charge him for any favor asked. His relationship with Belphegor might be the closest Mammon has ever gotten to experiencing 'friendship' however. Mammon doesn't make friends; just business partners and clients.
The only group Mammon has ever worked for without pay are the Arcobalenos. He is civil towards the others, not friendly, but will always come when summoned. Like everyone else, he gathers around whoever the current Sky Arcobaleno is. If needed, he will also do tasks for them without asking for payment. This is not without a lot of grumbling on his part however, and the others will normally need to remind him of his 'duty' as one of them. Although he will put up a token protest, it is usually easy to reason with Mammon and get him to listen. Except for Skull, who he has absolutely no qualms of ignoring and belittling just like the others do.
The duty of the Arcobaleno is something he hopes to escape from, alongside the form of a baby being an Arcobaleno has granted him. It's not easy to move in this form, and his powers are extremely stunted. Mammon loathes the curse as much as any of the others, and perhaps even more. He claims that unlike the rest of them, he has never stopped in his efforts to lift it. During the The Curse of the Rainbow Arc, Mammon has once again shown just how passionate he is about his goal. He is willing to risk everything for his freedom--his relationship with the other Arcobalenos, his life, and even all of his savings.
As an illusionist, Mammon detests physical fighting. He sees illusionists who dabble in hand combat, like Mukuro, to be heretics. He also especially dislikes Fon, the Arcobaleno who specializes in martial arts. While he normally doesn't mind working alongside physical combatants (Mammon is the only illusionist among the Varia officers before the introduction of Mukuro's protege Fran), he finds Fon talking about his martial arts training irritating. He sees it as boasting, and looking down on his own skills of illusion. In addition, he really hates how Fon picks on his spending habits, and sees it as preaching even though the other doesn't. He's likely to react the same, or worse, towards anyone else who'll try.
Among the Arcobaleno, Mammon is the second most reclusive next to the genius scientist Verde. He's able to erase his trace so well that Reborn and Colonello even thought he's dead. For this purpose, he changed his name from 'Viper' to 'Esper Mammon'. Mammon dislikes being called by his old name, with the apparent exception of Reborn.
[Abilities]
http://reborn.wikia.com/wiki/Viper#Weapons_and_Abilities
Mammon is the master illusionist of the Arcobaleno, the world's Strongest Seven. His illusions are of extremely high levels. At his strongest, he can impose conditions on the mind that once broken will deal heavy damage on the body. He can also transport people to a different illusionary plane, and summon large and dangerous eel-like creatures with gaping mouths and sharp teeth called Uroboros. For Somarium however, he'll only be able to perform the simple illusions of his infant-self. His most common ones are clones of himself and tentacles.
He also has a technique called Thoughtography, which allows him to locate any person or item by sneezing into toilet paper. The mucus turns into a map that shows the person's location.
[Other important stuff] Mammon will be arriving in his original form (adult).
[Sample post]
[First Person]
- Murder. What is your opinion?
Hit jobs pay well.
- You're asked to take someone out for a date. Do you agree? If so, describe what you would do. If not, tell why.
Mu. It's a waste of money.
- There is a cake in the rain. What do you do?
Ignore it.
- You see a bloody knife on the floor. What do you do or think?
Leave it. Someone else will clean it up.
- Oh no! Someone tripped and injured themselves right in front of you! What do you do?
Ask them if they're willing to pay [insert number here]. I can heal them for that price.
- You just got a challenge to fight from one of the strongest gang leaders around. Do you accept or reject? Why?
Hmph. That depends...How much money will they pay me if I win?
- Someone is trying to rob you! What do you do?
Mu. They're going to regret that.
[Third Person]
Mammon frowned as Belphegor started laughing beside him. It wasn't very often that he got mistaken for a girl, but he could hardly say that this was the first time. Or the second or even the third. He still didn't see how other people could make that mistake though, or what was so funny about it. The illusionist glared at the prince to shut him up, and made sure that the other Varia felt his irritation even through his cloak. Of course, it didn't really do much. Mammon's frown turned deeper.
"What's--what's so funny? Hey, stop joking around! Hand over your money already!"
The man was about as threatening as Levi without his umbrellas, and obviously just as useless. Would this be his first time to mug someone? Mammon would pity him, if he could actually feel that emotion. The man was pathetic--and terribly down on his luck. Of all the people to try and rob, it just had to be two of them. The only reason he wasn't dead already was that his little mistake amused Bel too much. As for Mammon however...
"--! AUGH-GUH-!
Tentacles shot out of his cloak as the man impatiently reached for the suitcase they carried. They wrapped around the thief's neck, and Mammon stared impassively while he strangled him with his weapon. The man flailed and jerked, but that was hardly anything he'd not seen before. Mammon didn't let up until the man stopped moving--lifeless. He let the corpse drop to the ground and turned back to Bel. The boy was still sniggering.
"Mu. Shut up, Bel. Let's go already."
Mammon handed him the suitcase and they started walking down the road again. A hundred thousand euros between the two of them and they were walking. Useless Levi. He'd definitely hear it from Mammon when they get back.
