Movie(s) your character is in: Aladdin
Character's Personality: Jafar is similar in appearance and actions to Maleficent. He is tall and thin, wears a long, twisted goatee, and is almost always depicted in flowing robes of black, dark red and other moody colors, giving him an overtly villainous appearance.
Jafar is portrayed as an amoral psychopath who will not hesitate to destroy anyone he perceives as a threat to his own sinister designs. Like numerous clinically-diagnosed psychopaths, Jafar wears a metaphorical mask of normalcy throughout the film, establishing himself as a cool-headed schemer and gaining the trust of those around him, despite his rather untrustworthy physical appearance.
This establishes Jafar as an emotional sadist, getting a laugh out of seeing "another fellow's dreams turn into nightmares one by one" and treating the Genie in an especially harsh manner. Jafar also displays narcissistic tendencies, his most obvious ones being his obsessive desire for power and sense of entitlement, as well as manipulating the Sultan to achieve his goals.
It is not until Jafar gains control of the Genie's lamp that he shows his true colors, becoming arrogant and short-tempered with his subjects after usurping power from the Sultan. It is this impulsive behavior that leads to his downfall, as he uses his third wish to become an omnipotent genie, unaware of the life inside the lamp that he now has to endure.
Character's History: In Aladdin , Jafar is introduced as the sinister Vizier to Agrabah's Sultan who desires power over Agrabah and lusts after Princess Jasmine, the Sultan's beautiful daughter. He is always accompanied by his sarcastic, devious pet parrot, Iago. Whilst presenting a charming and respectable exterior to the Sultan and the people of Agrabah he secretly holds everyone around him in contempt and manipulates the Sultan by means of hypnotizing him with a magical snake-headed staff which he always carries on his person.
He tries to use Genie's powers to take over Agrabah, first wishing to depose the Sultan and then the most powerful sorcerer in the world. Jafar had transformed himself into a giant cobra to kill Aladdin, but just as he was squeezing the peasant boy to death, Aladdin tricked Jafar into using his third and final wish to become an all-powerful genie himself. In this form Jafar was red in hue, possibly to represent his more "evil" nature contrasting with Genie's blue tone.
In Western culture, genies are almost always portrayed as being confined to small oil lamps until they are released to do a human's bidding; Jafar was therefore trapped by his own selfish wish for power. Screaming in rage he was sucked into a black oil lamp, dragging the protesting Iago with him. The Genie then flung the lamp into the desert.
Characters Likes: Power, elegance, and women.
Character's Dislikes: Jasmine, Aladdin, and trickery.
Roleplay
Task: Jafar hadn’t changed much physically. He was still tall and lithe, although he seemed to appear much older than when he had last seen Aladdin. His tan skin seemed scorched under the blazing sun, despite the fact that he spent most of his days confined in a lamp in some ivory tower to practice his maniacal laughter. His dark eyes expressed condescension, lips forming a nasty little scowl.
As soon as hesaw the narrow path, he knew that this definitely wasn’t Agrabah, for the sands were no more, and the unique structure of the towering palace – nonexistent. He knew now, without a doubt, that he was somewhere else. It was indescribably happy, dreadfully colorful. As much as he tried to shield his eyes from the undeniably vivid hues that reeked through the very heart of this strange park, he knew nothing could save him from this horrid place. Well, he’d give it a makeover by the time he was through with this happy hell.
“Spare me the platitude, boy,” he sighed, rubbing his sore temples as a little child tugged at his sleeve, begging him for an autograph. “I have better things to do than to deal with you.” He turned the boy into a contract. Ah, the puns – he’s still got it!
