OPT OUT: Additionally, Nacho's canon deals with disturbing themes of drugs, murder, senseless and at times brutal violence, etc etc you've seen Breaking Bad, right? Better Call Saul is like that, but a slower burn. If you don't want to engage with him for whatever reason please let me know and I'll avoid tagging you! ♥

Current Characters: n/a
IC Info
Name: Ignacio "Nacho" Varga
Canon: Better Call Saul
Age: 32

Canon Point:season 5 finale canon update: season 6 episode 3
Background: Wiki!
Personality:
- Quiet: Nacho isn't the type to speak up on his own or engage in small talk. He speaks when spoken to, but has fairly brief and to the point responses in most situations. When he does take charge of a situation he doesn't say more than he feels needs to be said and sometimes won't speak at all, just gesture and/or strike.
- Shrewd: As he's both observant and intelligent, Nacho is quick to assess situations and people. Most of the time, this manifests as knowing who might be useful, is truthful or lying, and when there's a danger or liability. As he doesn't partake of the product he peddles he's much sharper than your average drug dealer. He also, notably, isn't particularly proud. If someone's idea happens to be better than his, he defers and goes along with that instead. This in itself is a sign of intelligence.
- Greedy: Despite this intelligence, Nacho has been driven by greed. Even if he wasn't necessarily looking to become rich for his own sake, he'd take every opportunity he saw to get ahead and make more money. This is, however, much less true at his current canon point, at which he wants out more than anything.
- Private: Nacho doesn't share personal details or talk about himself if he can help it. He deflects as much as possible.
- Precise: It's been said that "[Nacho is] not the type of person who would kill a fly with a sledgehammer." He plans his moves thoroughly, and though he doesn't always make the right decision he weighs the pros and cons/advantages and disadvantages of everything he does. He takes risks and sometimes makes mistakes, but nothing he does is ever accidental.
- Deceptive: Nacho is a phenomenal actor. He manages to fool pretty much the entire Salamanca family, each one sharper than the last, into believing he is loyal to them when he's really working against their interests one way or another.
- Reserved: In general, Nacho doesn't rise to other people's anger or show much fear when he's in danger. He suffers pain in silence and delivers violence efficiently and without rage. He's generally calm and thoughtful, unflinching until he's threatened directly and even then tries to reason his way out of situations or acquiesces without lashing out.
- Gentle: Although he has to be violent at times for appearances, these instances clearly show Nacho's discomfort with the necessity. In quieter moments, we see him being quite kind and passive even in situations that would irritate or cause anger in others. He has an especially gentle touch for the girls he keeps around as cover at his house.
- Loving: Nacho loves his family above all else, citing them as a reason to keep doing what he's doing at times. He's especially devoted to his father, even after the older man kicks him out for his activities. When he's hurt and scared, he retreats to his father's house anyway. After they've stopped speaking, he still tries to buy out his father's business through someone else so he can retire and move away from the danger that Nacho has put him in. Nacho also struggles terribly with the fact that his father is in danger in the first place, uncharacteristically begging both Hector and Gus to leave him alone.
Weaknesses/Temptations: Any promise that his father would be safe would have Nacho doing terrible, terrible things. At this canon point that's really the only thing driving him, and he would suffer any pains for it.
Sins: greed, theft, breaking and entering, drug trafficking, murder, attempted murder, lots of lying like so much lying, betrayal.
Powers/Abilities: n/a, Nacho is a regular human.
Items: Just the clothes on his back, his wallet (with family photos inside), and his handgun.

So tell me -- is damnation everything you thought it would be?
The torture is different than I would've imagined. More interactive and less constant. And more physical, so maybe they think we'll get used to pain if it happens too much? Build up a tolerance until they're just ripping us apart over and over and we don't care anymore? That's what happens in the Inferno, right?
Not that I believed that.
Personally I used to think Hell would be your worst nightmares and fears, that kind of thing. More mental torture.
But I guess I never really thought Hell actually existed, anyway. That divine retribution was just stories to scare kids into behaving. If this is what happens when you don't buy into it, I'm surprised it's not a lot more crowded around here.
