papaillon

"So, you are hurting, you are in pain, you are angry. Yes. You want revenge, you want the power to fix things. I am Papillon, and I can help. You just have to do me one small favor, when the time comes...."

Alright, so you are considering letting Papillon turn your character into an Akuma. It will be fun, but... what exactly does it mean? What can he do?

the Kwami, Nooroo

"The butterfly's brooch allows you to give a super power to someone and make them your champion."

Nooroo explained, as above, to Papillon that he has the power to grant abilities to other people. This power was meant to be used to create champions, to create heroes. Papillon? Uses it to create villains. Because he is trying to attract two specific heroes.

And that's where your character comes in.

Papillon mentally seeks out characters who are in pain, or who are angry. This isn't a little upset, this is the feel like your world is ending kind of pain. (So, you know, teenagers get Akumatized often, especially with Chloè as a classmate making sure everyone who isn't herself or Adrien feels miserable as often as possible...)

Some examples: Alya got Akumatized when she was suspended for an unjust reason while trying to uncover the true identity of Ladybug. Kim was not just rejected when he tried to give Chloè a gift, he was utterly humiliated - she posted a picture of him covered in ick to everyone in their class to laugh at him. Lila was a new girl at a new school where everyone knew each other and she lied like a rug to be liked, and when her lies included Ladybug, Ladybug showed up to shut her down hard, and she became upset enough to be
Akumatized.

So, your character is THAT upset. What next?

Papillon sends an Akuma (A small black and purple butterfly) which lands on something important to the character that he, she, it, they (pick your pronoun, he'll Akumatize anyone!) are holding or wearing. This allows Papillon the ability to communicate mentally with his chosen target. This is visually represented with red around they eyes of the Akuma-to-be and what looks like a floating neon butterfly mask. Papillon gains a matching mask whenever they communicate.

He then offers your character a deal. Papillon addresses the character by what will be their Akuma name and offers them the power to fix whatever it is that they want to fix. Examples:
Alya became Lady Wifi with a metric ton of epic abilities all related to her phone, since she was using her phone to update her blog about Ladybug, and the event she was suspended over was a photo on her phone of Chloè's locker...
Kim became Dark Cupid/Heartbreaker and gained the power to fire arrows that turned positive emotions of friendship and romantic love negative.
Lila became Volpina because she claimed to have the Fox Miraculous, and he gave her the ability to "make her lies true" but basically he let her create illusions.

Of course, this power is not free. He wants a small favor in return. Sending a villain out into the world invariably attracts heroes. Two, specifically. All that power, and all you have to do is get something from each Chat Noir and Ladybug. Their Miraculous'. (Spoiler alert? So not going to happen!)

So, your character agrees, now what? So glad you asked! The Akuma turns into a dark purple and black fog that grows from the item and spreads all over the character. When it passes, the character is now in an awesome costume and has the powers that go with it. Examples? SURE!
Lady Wifi:

Heartbreaker:

The specific powers, and the Akuma name will be discussed OOC, unless you want to leave it up to me! And then... Go. Have fun.

Papillon can follow mentally, and watch any Akuma he has sent into the world, so expect him to thread crash any and every thread, though he can only be heard by your character and not whoever your character is interacting with. Your character's responses, however can be heard by anyone who happens to be there, and the mask that shows the character is communicating with Papillon will be visible.

Then you get to have fun and wonderful threads until someone comes along and breaks the item that the butterfly was in. When that happens, your character is untransformed and has no memories of being an Akuma. There is still some pain, but it is duller, less. If the Akuma is caught and purified, that is the end of that. If not... there is the option to reakumatize! Ask me in that case to find out more!

FAQ

Q. Can my Akumatized character affect other characters?
A. OOOOOH YEAH. This is not the Deathnote. If your character has an ability to affect someone else, they can. Just make sure you work it out OOC first! For example, Heartbreaker made others full of hate and anger, and he was able to convince a darkened Chat Noir to go after Ladybug, whom he hated under the influence of the spell. Princesse Fragrance was able to mind control people with her perfume, Le Pharaon turned people into mummies. So, again, get OOC permission, but if the other player is cool with it and it fits the power, run with it!

Q. Can Papillon control my character?
A. NOPE! He can instruct, he can rant at, yell at, scream at your character. He can even cause your character pain if they disobey, but he cannot force or control them to do anything. And by the way, even if your character is TRYING to honor the deal, expect him to rant and rage a lot. He does that.

I will constantly add to the FAQ as needed. Please feel free to post below with questions, and PLEASE feel free to post below if you want to have a character Akumatized.

Papillon is currently in Wake, and is always available for PSLs.

Warning, here there e spoilers and angst. Ye have been warned.

Character Information
Character Name: Gabriel Agreste/Papillon
Fandom:Miraculous tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir

Character History:
(head canon/implied bits will be in purple, to keep things easy to read. One comment that should be made, this all hinges on the premise Gabriel IS Papillon, which is beyond heavily implied, but never stated outright.)
At some point before the series began, Gabriel Agreste "lost" his wife. Implication is that she was the holder of a Miraculous, probably the Butterfly, since we are told that the man who guards the Miraculous' thought that it had been lost. Also it is implied that she isn't dead... so it is possible that it had something to do with the Miraculous' and their powers.

Her Miraculous wound up with Gabriel, and he invoked the Kwami within it, learning from little Nooroo that there is a power that is found, in bringing together the Ladybug Miraculous (With the power of creation) and the Black Cat Miraculous (with the power of destruction) that can be used to achieve anything.

Gabriel wants that power, needs that power, to bring her back. So he decides that since Ladybug and Chat Noir are, like all Miraculous' users should be, forces for good... the best way to draw them out is to use his power to become a villain.

That decided, Gabriel transforms into Papillon, and starts turning people with pain and anger in their hearts into Akumas. And he was right. Ladybug and Chat Noir show up to try and save Paris. So begins the series long struggle between Papillon and the heroes of Paris. He creates Akumas of people, promising them the power to do what they want, to get revenge, what have you, in exchange for them getting the Miraculous' held by Chat Noir and Ladybug.

Meanwhile, as Gabriel, he is working hard on his fashion design, and seems cold, aloof, and unapproachable. We know from Adrien that he wasn't like that before they lost his mom (Gabriel's wife.) So my thinking is that he knows that what he is doing is dangerous, so he is working hard to make sure his son is safe... by keeping him at arms length. If no one knows he loves his boy, no one will think to hold him hostage to make him stop.

As of his current canon point, Gabriel as Gabriel has been attacked by an Akuma and almost died. Worth the risk, and makes him look less like Papillon. Two Akumas have hurt his son making him FURIOUS, and he nearly killed one of them. He also noticed that his boy is wearing a ring that looks suspiciously like the Chat Noir Miraculous....

Character Personality:
(doing this all in purple, becuase so much is interpertaiton)
In order to bring back his wife, and protect his son, Gabriel knew that he could never let anyone figure out that he was Papillon. To that end, he seperated aspects of himself into each role, and by this point... He has almost created full personalties for each. So each will get a section more or less to themselves. But he is not a multiple personality. He is making an active effort to keep himself to predictable behavioral patterns that will make it seem ridiculous that these two people could possibly be connected.

Gabriel: Gabriel Agreste is cool and aloof. He keeps himself distant from people, and while he can put on a amicable enough mask in business, he seems to be very much someone who would be just as happy to be on his own. He works on his fashion designs, and keeping his company going. He has a personal assistant that is mostly responsible for ensuring that his boy keeps to his schedule, and is getting a good education and staying out of trouble. Basically, he has given her all the responsibilities of a parent with none of the power to make choices for the boy, nor the freedom to love him.

It is because he does love Adrien. Adrien is all that he has left, and he is doing everything he can to give his son back a mother. He wants them to be a family again. One time, after nearly dying, he broke his iron control and hugged his son. He realized it had been a mistake, immediately after, and was glad that when he commented on his son's ring, his son pulled back emotionally, which made it easier for him to do that same.

Other than that we see very little real emotion from Mr. Agreste. He gives a slight smile to one girl when she wins the design competition he set, but it looks like a business smile. He comes across otherwise as stern and disapproving. He kicks Nino out of his house as a bad influence and chides Nathalie for not buying his son a proper gift... from him.

It is my personal feeling, having RPed him so long, and watching for the sake of RP, that he knows a lot more about his son than he lets anyone realize. And that he THINKS he knows everything. That this awareness is why so many of his son's classmates get Akumatized, because he is paying more attention to that school, and senses that pain more. But also... to my mind, he figures his son has two rebellions - Nino and school. School was the first time since they lost her that Adrien defied him, and stood up for what he wanted. Gabriel was proud of his boy, and pleased to see the spine, but he made sure to agree in such a way that his son would realize it was a privilege that could be revoked. His son got the thrill of a victory, and got to feel awesome at having stood up for himself, but he would behave to maintain the privilege. He figured his son would still sneak around to spend time with the Nino boy, and that would be his one "secret" rebellion. He was sure that these were the only two ways his son was rebelling, and that these two would be enough to curb any other rebellions, or so he thought. He wouldn't have even imagined for a second that his son was secretly sneaking out on Nathalie and his bodyguard to go be a superhero....

Gabriel plans. He is methodical and smart. He keeps a cool head and knows when he can let Papillon run wild, and when he must be contained. He is generally good at thinking on his feet, and like a cat can often figure out how to make whatever just happened fit neatly into his plans. He meant to do that, this was the plan all along....

Papillon: Where Gabriel is restrained and serious, Papillon gets to experience every emotion to the fullest. Just as Adrien finds freedom and release being Chat Noir, Gabriel gets that same feeling from putting on his own mask. Where Gabriel has to be stoic, Papillon rants, and rages, he screams and yells and throws hissy fits like a child. When he is angry, he gets angry. When he is happy he smiles. More, he - le gasp - laughs!

Papillon isn't actually evil, he's just driven towards his goal, and emotional. While he usually demands upfront in a bargain that the new Akuma owes him a favor and/or must get him the Miraculous', when one man is trying to use the power to bring back a dead loved one (Um... sort of) he is more than interested in making that work, and he actually forgets to tell him the power is a trade for that favor. He really really wanted that to work... which is the only real hint that maybe she is dead rather than just "missing". Well, that and a painting of him and his son in funerary looking black suits.

He screams at the Akuma, and when one - Digital/Pixilator - actually hurt his son... he discovered that he could hurt the Akuma through their psychic connection, and did so... but he realized that the power to bring back one could bring back two... so he HAD to win... but when the Akuma was defeated, his son came back with the others. (Well, his son got free sooner, and came in to help as Chat Noir, but he had no way to know this...)

In either form, with either mask, everything he does is ultimately to bring back his wife and for love of his son. They are the focuses of his life, and even his business has become simply a means to that end. His plans for the hazy someday when he wins is all headcanon, but my thinking is that he plans to give his wife back her miraculous, keep Chat Noir for himself, and give his son Ladybug, and work together as a family of heroes, to atone for all he had done as Papillon....

Powers and Abilities:

He can transform himself into Papillon - hero power turned to villainous ends. In canon he does this by putting on his Miraculous and telling Nooroo to transform him. Learning to do it by bending will be one of his first challenges, once he allows Papillon to arrive, that is. Obviously if Papillon shows up at the same time as Gabriel Agreste, there could be people to realize they are one and the same, so he will have to wait before he begins to use his canon powers. Which will give him time to learn to do things with Bending, which will be fun!

Once he is Papillon:
Papillon in canon has the ability to akumatize people - to give them powers. Traditionally, this is used in that world to turn people into heroes and champions. He is using it to turn them into monsters. Akumas. (Please note, the word Akuma can mean either the person he has given powers to, or the butterfly that serves as the conduit.)

He can discover people who are in pain/angry - it's not clear how. Sometimes before he sends in the Akuma, sometimes he tells the Akuma to find him someone. The butterfly lands on something that the target is holding and he speaks mentally to the person - visually represented by a dark redness around their eyes and a ghostly butterfly mask. He offers them power in exchange for helping get the Miraculos' that he wants. We have never seen someone refuse, so not sure how it will go when someone refuses in game. Of course everything will be worked out OOC first.

They then gain powers related to the pain/anger that called to him - for example the boy with a broken heart became an anti-cupid with arrows of hate, and a girl who got suspended for trying to find the truth for her blog using her phone got the ability to move through phones and use phone apps and project from her phone to people all across Paris.

Each Akuma shares one weakness, and most of them also have a second. The shared weakness is the item that the butterfly landed on. For an artist Akuma, it was his pen, for Volpina it was her necklace, for Lady Wifi (The blogger girl) it was her cellphone. When the item is broken, the Akuma flies free and the person is returned to normal, with no memories of having been Akumatized. If the Akuma that flies away is not purified, it can multiply, and create more of the same Akuma on its own. Confused yet? So are the fans!

the individual weaknesses can vary depending on power and personality. Volpina's power was to make her lies true, which actually meant illusions. The weakness in that was that once you knew it was an illusion, you could get to her. Ladybug also used light to make the illusions waver, and the illusions were visual and auditory only, and once touched - or once Chat's staff was thrown through one - they vanished. Lady Wifi was insanely strong... until they got her into a basement where she had no signal, or cut down the wifi towers.

Samples
TDM posts, links, and examples for posts from other communities are not accepted.

Network:
(For this I will do two samples, one as Gabriel on the network, and one as Papillon talking to a new Akuma-to-be, because he would not use the network as Papillon, but the way the communications are handled are very very similar. And since you only asked for one, hopefully that the second sample is not EXACTLY what was requested will be okay...)

Gabriel:

[The man sits at his desk, with perfect posture, hands folded neatly in front of him as he addresses the camera.]

"Hello, as some of you may know, I am Gabriel Agreste of Agreste fashions. I have spent some time here and have been working on designs based upon the mixes of cultures I have found in this unique place."

[His voice is even, with very little intonation, and less passion.]

"Now that I have found my own voice in fashion here, I am ready to take on an intern who would work with me on creating my designs, and who will learn how to strengthen their own designs. Anyone who is interested in such an opportunity should contact me at their earliest convenance. I am looking for no more than two interns."

[He adjusted his glasses and glanced at his notes before looking to the camera again.]

"I am also looking to hire a personal assistant. Please see me if you would want such a position. Thank you."

[He would cut the feed.]

Papillon:

"It is hard when people are cruel, when they tell you you are not pretty enough, isn't it? People who look beautiful on the outside but are filled with ugly poison within. They seek to make everyone as ugly inside as they are. But you, my Mannequin, with your mirror, you can make their outsides reflect their insides."

"But... you must do something for me. I will grant you the power to expose people's true ugliness, but in return, you must fetch me Ladybug and Chat Noir's Miraculous. Let all the world see where the true beauty lies! Do we have a deal, Le Mannequin?"

Third Person:

Gabriel:
Gabriel stood in the office he had set up in his new home, in this odd place. He was still learning this bending thing, so his office was not... perfect. Well, somethings he could hire someone to fix. He didn't know quite how hiring someone worked in a place without currency. He made a mental note to figure that out. He would have made a physical note, but he couldn't pull his eyes away from the one thing he had created perfectly. The only thing he had put his heart into, the only one that worked.

Over his somewhat lopsided desk, was a painting. He had long since memorized every aspect of the painting. Creating it here had required far less effort than the chair had. The chair was unusable. The painting? Perfect. He had closed his eyes, seeing every last brush stoke, and then when he opened his eyes... it was on the wall, at the height it always was...

His family was here. Watching him. The softness in his wife's eyes, the curve of his son's lips. Even himself, a man he could no longer be. When they posed for the painting, he had been touching both his wife and his son. They never seemed so far from him as they did now.

No one was in the house, he was alone, and so he let himself take a moment to do something that didn't match Gabriel as he was now, nor Papillon. He reached his hands out, and touched the painting, gently. Tenderly. Touched their faces.

People would be here soon, and he would have to be firm, aloof, distant. He would have to be Gabriel Agreste, fashion designer. But for this one moment, and only one moment... he could just be himself.

He gave himself that moment, then he turned his back on the painting. The world thought he had turned his back on his family. For their sakes, the world had to think that. No one could ever know that he carried them even closer than he carried the locket. That he carried them in the heart no one would believe he had.

He left the room and closed the door. The lock he bent into being was crude. Hopefully it would hold. Then he went to the foyer to greet the applicants. No one would see the imperfect study. No one would see the perfect painting of the family that had also, for too brief a time, been his own personal perfection....

Papillon:

He had remade this room perfectly, hidden it perfectly. And now everything was timed perfectly. The portal opened, letting light into the room from the round window as it was uncovered. Wrought iron made a design over glass, a single pain missing.

Papillon stood at the center of the room, where the light hit him like a spot light.

Perfect.

Everything was exactly how it should be. He didn't bother to fight the smile that wanted to bloom. Even more, he let it grow as wide as it could, his eyes dancing with joy, with freedom. He was Papillon, and it was time to get to work.

He raised his hands and the hundreds of white Butterflies around him took to the air, fluttered around. Some flew around him, some danced in the newly exposed sunbeams, and some settled back down.

"Ah...." he said, sensing the pain of a young man, not terribly far distant. He lifted a darkly gloved hand and watched as a single butterfly landed on his palm. His smile was less than kind as his other hand closed carefully over it, infusing it with his dark power. When he felt it was enough he lifted both hands, releasing the newly made Akuma.

"Fly my precious Akuma, and darken his heart!" he cheered to the now black and purple butterfly, watching it fly out through the small opening in the window, where the single pane was missing. He twirled his cane then let it hit the floor with a satisfying thunk, and leaned against it, laughing.

His Akuma would fly, his new Akuma would be born, and then the heroes would come. But he knew so much now. This time victory would be his. This time He would win the battle. His head went back as he laughed. This time... This time Papillon would have the Miraculous' at long last. This time he would win....

Appearance:
A tall trim man, he keeps himself neat and tidy at all times. As Gabriel, he wears glasses and a suit with a tie in light colors. As Papillion, he wears a silver mask, uses a cane, and wears darker colors.

History:
Gabriel Wiki
Papillion Wiki

As worked out between what is known on the show, what was on wikia, and what was discussed between myself and the Chat Noir player to fill in the blanks left by the show and the Wikia:

Gabriel was once a loving father who while working hard at his job was still devoted to his family. His wife and his son were the bright points in his life, and he would have done anything for them. She had one of the Miraculous', and a kwami - Nooroo, and he knew her secret, and kept it for her.

And then... she died.

Everything changed when she died. He changed when she died. He wore her miraculous, in her honor, and learned from Nooroo more than he ever knew when she lived about how the Papillion power worked. And about the other miraculous'. He has been studying them ever since.

Having been told, by Nooroo (and this part is in the origins two parter) what when combined, the Ladybug miraculous and the Chat Noir Miraculous held incredible power. Power enough to do nearly anything.

He wanted them. He intended (headcanon, as discussed with the other player) to use the power of the miraculous' to bring back his dead wife. His plan is to get the Ladybug and Chat Noir miraculous', use their power to restore her to life, then return her miraculous to her, keeping Chat Noir for himself and giving Ladybug to his son; so that this will be a family secret.

But Ladybug and Chat Noir were not active, (back to canon) so he hatched a plan. What better way to draw out heroes, than by making villains? He became a villain in hopes of catching the heroes. He has been acting the double life ever since, seeming distant from his son as he "focuses on work" more and more.

Personality:

At his core, Gabriel is about his family. No matter what else does or does not happen to, for, or around him, his family comes first. Not, however, that he makes this obvious. Since the death of his wife, he has been playing a dangerous game, and as such has been holding his son - Adrien - at arm's length or further. He would rather the boy hate him, then get tangled in the mess he is creating and die.

He has no idea that his son is Chat Noir, though he did start to get a clue in one episode, spotting a familiar looking ring on his boy's finger. It is inconclusive, as many stores in Paris sell Ladybug and Chat Noir replica items ever since the heroic pair made their debut.

To keep himself from slipping up - something that could put his boy in untold danger - he has pushed upon himself two very different personas. He keeps to them, rigidly. Neither face shows who he really is, the papa that Adrien remembers, but there are hints of him in each.

Gabriel is the stern and responsible businessman. He hires staff to keep his boy safe, to see to Adrien's education, and to see to his career. He schedules his son as tightly as possible so that he will always know where he will be, so he will always know that he is safe. Given Ladybug's ability to repair ALL damage at the end of a battle, however, he is ironically not as concerned about his son getting hurt in an Akuma attack, and knows that if the Akumas never attacked anywhere that Adrian was that it would be a bright flashing sign that someone in that school was being protected. So he takes any injury as an excuse to tighten his hold on his son, while worrying more about schoolyard bullies and car accidents than he does about an Akuma dropping the eiffel tower on the boy.

He does want the best for his son, and will not hesitate to forbid him to spend time around those he feels are bad influences on him, like Nino. HOWEVER, he is well aware of what his son does, and the fact that his son is still friends with the other boy. That is fine. So long as Adrien is sticking to small controllable rebellions - his friendship with Nino and going to school, for example - Gabriel does not have to worry about the larger rebellions. He can let his boy feel like he has won a battle, and that he has gotten away with the friendship, because that keeps him safe, and otherwise behaved.

And because he does want his boy to be happy, he just knows that since he can't be there personally to keep him safe, he has to act like safety trumps happiness. Which, to be fair, it does. It should noted that there is NOTHING material that Adrien wants for. His room is huge and packed to the brim with all the things a young boy could want that could be legally purchased and would not harm him.

He makes sure his son takes fencing because it will give him some fundamental skills in self defense without the risk of a broken bone at practice. He makes him study everything he can so that he will know all he needs to know. He makes sure he keeps up the modeling so that he will have a career and money.

Because he knows that he is playing a dangerous game as Papillion. He knows he could be killed or disgraced. He wants to be sure that his son will not grieve overly much if that happens, and that he will be able to take care of himself. No matter what happens to Gabriel, Adrien must be able to not only survive, but thrive. If his son hates him for that, it is the price he will pay.

His own heart is the price he will pay if that is what is needed, for his family.

Gabriel is one of those people for whom everything always goes according to plan. Not because he is so good at predicting how things will lay out and manipulating them, but because he has a sharp mind and can turn most disadvantages to his advantage. Gabriel has been held hostage by akumatized villains before. He made it work, because who would suspect him of pulling the strings when he himself was in danger and being watched? Nino pitching that fit over a birthday party? Turned him into the forbidden fruit needed to give his boy that one small rebellion, that small secret. The one he was sure that would keep Adrien from hiding any larger secrets from him. How wrong he is. But, the fact that Papillion could akumatize Nino after Gabriel showed him the door? Well, that served both to prove that Adrien wasn't under any specific protection, and gave him another shot at the miraculous'.

All according to plan.

Where Gabriel is cool and calm under pressure, however, Papillion is emotional. Where Gabriel is distant, Papillion feels.

This was all done from his desire to bring back his wife, to restore his family. He is aware of his own pain and uses that pain to find the pain in others. He will offer them, in their pain, the power to do what he wished himself to do - fix the problem. His problem is big, bigger than he can fix himself, which is why he needs the miraculous'. This is why we never see him akumatize someone whose pain comes from the loss of a loved one to death or illness. He can't give them the power to fix it.

While his goal in giving them the power is to obtain the miraculous', he is fine with them having their joy for a time, curing their pain.

He plays the monster. But he isn't one.

As Papillion, he can let himself feel everything he has to lock away as Gabriel. He can scramble, double back, get angry. He can allow his villains to fail because they are nearly infinite. Gabriel never fails, but there is only one shot with him, if he is exposed, it is all over. But Papillion? He can go after Ladybug and Chat Noir again and again and again. As often as he needs to. And sometimes there are chances where he could have forced the people to do as he willed, to get what he wanted, and sometimes he almost crosses that line, but... sometimes he doesn't. Because as much as he is using the pain of others to fuel his own goals, he still has empathy. He will never admit it, but he has it.

It is as Papillion that he sees himself as a villain, but in some ways, it is where he can most allow himself to be himself. He can allow himself to be sad, to be angry, to be hopeful, to be proud in a way that isn't stiff and aristocratic. It is his freedom. It is his connection to his wife. She watches over Gabriel in the house, but she is in a locket in the lair. It's a lot more personal there.

Powers/Abilities/Talents:
Let me say first off, since I recently learned the term, he seems to have hammerspace. Seriously, pretty much everything fits in the inner pocket of that jacket without so much as a lump or a crease. That just needs to be said. Nearly everyone else in the series has a bag of some sort, he never does.

Non-magical talent - he is a gifted clothing designer, and has been since before he was papillion.
Non-magical talent - as Gabriel the man is pretty close to unflappable, and has amazing composure.

With him - Nooroo. http://miraculousladybug.wikia.com/wiki/Nooroo Nooroo is the Kwami that goes with the butterfly miraculous and grants him his power. We know that the Kwamis need to eat something specific between transformations to restore their power, but we do not know what it is for Nooroo. Also, unlike Ladybug and Chat Noir, when he uses his primary power he does not seem to be under a time limit to transform back, and he can go in and out of Papillion form without disrupting the Akumas he has made. Nooroo is small and can fly and seems pretty hard to kill going by the other Kwamis in the show. Nooroo, however is not pleased with how he is using his powers, and does not go out of his way to help him. Also, unlike the other Kwamis, Nooroo seems to be able to hover and communicate with him, even when transformed; so there is a lot that we may learn later that changes the fundamental understanding of how Nooroo operates. But since no one sees Nooroo but him, it probably won't be an issue.

As Papillion - He can summon an army of butterflies - white harmless butterflies/moths. He can turn one (and on some rare occasions more than one) into a dark blue/black butterfly which then goes to the person he indicates and infests something they are holding, granting them phenomenal power. Whoever he akumatizes this way is someone he can speak with mentally, and they can hear and respond. He also seems to be able to sense pain anywhere in Paris from his lair, and to be able to read the minds of those who suffer. It is unclear if he has to be transformed to do this, the implication is yes. He can sense them and read their minds before sending the akuma. This is how he chooses his prey.

Akumas can be destroyed by Ladybug (something else will have to be figured out if the Ladybug player drops or is on hiatus, my guess is that Sailor Moon, Pretear, or any similar magical girl with purification abilities could probably learn how to purify akumas back into butterflies.) She or Chat Noir, or someone else has to figure out what item is hiding the Akuma, break it, and then purify the Akuma. If they only break it, but do not purify the butterfly before it can fly away, it can return to him, giving him a chance to reinfect the same person, with much more power.

He can also manipulate the butterflies/akuma butterflies, as shown in the origins episode when he used them to make a face to taunt the new heroes of Paris.

AU/CR AU Addendum: N/A

What 4 items would you like your character too have with them on the island during their stay?
His tablet
His miraculous (which Nooroo is bound to)/Nooroo
A book with information about the miraculous'
and if possible, can he have both the portrait of his family, and the locket with his wife's picture? If they can't count as one item, then the portrait is more important than the book.
(His cane is part of his transformation, I think, since we only see it with him when he is Papillion, so I don't think it counts, but I am putting it here, just in case)

[He looked squarely into the camera on his tablet. His expression of disapproval was one with which his son would be quite familiar as of late.]

"In the absence of your proper driver and aid, I have taken the liberty to hire someone to assist you while you are here in this place, Adrien. I expect you to mind him as you would Nathalie. You are not to try to avoid him, evade him, or dupe him. I expect we are clear, and I will hear no more from you on this matter. He will be keeping me apprised of how you are doing, and I will be sending him your new schedule. Thankfully there are sufficient tutors here."

[Without giving the boy a chance to reply, he closed the connection, then sat back ever so slightly. The smallest of motions. It was done. Any trust that might have built between them was shattered, with this. Any freedoms his son had eked out here were gone. But his boy would be safe. Everything else could be repaired. Some day. But so long as his boy was safe, he would hold fast. Even if some day never came.]
