PLAYER: Lone Sheep (aka Sheep)
OPEN TO PLURK/DISCORD FRIENDING FOR RP? Yes of course! lonesheep
WHERE DO ZOMBIES FIND YOU DURING THE APOCALYPSE? Probably already dead... there is zero chance I'm surviving that.

CHARACTER(S) & CANON(S): Number Five / The Umbrella Academy
WHO THEY ARE, THE ONE-LINE ELEVATOR PITCH: 58-year-old time traveling ex-assassin stuck in his 13-year-old body, lived way too long in the apocalypse and loves to teleport everywhere.
THEIR TARAVAST #TEAM: Macaluso
WHAT ARE THEY GETTING UP TO IN THIS FINE OCTOBER? Five is (still) dealing with a curse he's stubbornly holding onto, and more unhinged than usual. He's going to be trying to keep on top of what's going on, keeping an eye on his family as much as he can while they're split up, and ??? Honestly, he's a ticking time-bomb and bad decisions will happen later this month. That said, very open to everything and I'm very into starting something new with him, so come at me and I'll probably be into it.

THROW A GIF IN, YOU DESERVE IT:


ICE BREAKER ROUNDS:

i. An unfortunate crime has taken been committed. By your character. How do they get away with murder?

Super easily. He's a professional time assassin who can teleport, he's going to get away and feel zero guilt about it for any murders that happen.

ii. What reasonable accessible thing or service can your character be bribed with?

He loves coffee. If you make it well enough, you've proven your worth and can expect him to show up for more. He also rarely turns down alcohol. And you know... if you have information on anyone who might be a threat to his family, he's not going to turn you away. (Also kind of wants to know how the fuck magic works?? He knows everything so it super bugs him that he doesn't get it.)

iii. In a world where justice actually exists, how often would your character get slapped by noon?

A lot?? He doesn't understand that laws are a thing and murder is usually involved in all of his plans. Can we pretend for a minute? I dare you to slap him, you can maybe get one in...

THREE TYPES OF CR YOUR WANT FOR YOUR CHARACTER (BE SPECIFIC), GO: Conspiracy-buddies, people who think they're smarter than him/will give him a hard time about his shit, f.....riends??? I'm fascinated by the concept that he can get a friend if you have a very high tolerance for assholes with seriously stunted social skills.
WHAT CAN YOUR CHARACTER UNIQUELY AND PG-13-INGLY OFFER? If he sees a benefit to himself, he has very handy teleportation powers that makes it easy for him to get into places/steal things/etc. Someday he'll use his time travel for a good reason without destroying everything it could happen.

people who think they're smarter than him/will give him a hard time about his shit

I'm sorry, you rang.

[somebadnews]

There is only a 100% chance of that going some kind of way with Hermione. Just because he doesn't know magic doesn't mean he isn't the smartest person in every room, please test him.

[reparo]

Oh yeah, I have no fucking idea if they'll a. get along really well and become a menacing duo or b. have hissing cat stand-offs every time. But I'm willing to find out, because the quest for knowledge is important too, Five, you don't just get born with it.

[somebadnews]

It's a mystery! Five is a wildcard with his CR. He has accepted that he doesn't know a lot about magic, it's not at all frustrating. Just give him time (lol).

He has some feelings about wands though.

[reparo]

Everyone has feelings about wands.

But listen - listen. Hermione actually travelled through time to go to more classes when she was 14 so I feel like they can bond over this, if she opens up. She's a bit closed off right now.

[somebadnews]

Somehow that should come up! He has several more feelings about time travel. He spends half his time working out equations to go back to some point in time, and eventually he'll figure out how to go across dimensions and back home with math it will definitely happen. (After he finds Luther...) Doesn't know you can do this with magic, seems fake.

He also still has the broken time travel briefcase too if she ever wants to tinker with that. Question mark how that would occur, but just wait for him to leave it out and have an overreaction at whoever dares to look at it.

[reparo]

Oh my gosh that's a goal now. Tinker with the time travel suitcase.

[somebadnews]

It would make his life easier if it worked. Just immediately give it back and forget that you ever saw it... thanks.

[reparo]

Look we're all past the point of hiding our magic and/or time travel devices. What if she makes you a coffee for five minutes with the suitcase.

[somebadnews]

It's a wonder he hasn't chucked that thing into the sea in frustration at this point, might as well try! Coffee is an excellent bribe. The guy he knew who made it the best went home, he hasn't noticed but it's very sad for him.

He's still going to sip his coffee and watch her that entire five minutes.

[inferus]

Me about them:

When/if Wrath finds out about the mirror breaking, he will just.......... start to think he should have just offered to help himself even if he's never removed a cursed mirror from someone before. He can summon demons so why not a cursed mirror too?

But also that was such a bad decision, Five!!

[somebadnews]

It will absolutely be a decision and not at all in any way a tantrum. Not-tantrum aside it's a very logical plan that absolutely could have worked. MAYBE THEN he'll finally get help. Or someone could just knock him out and make him do it, that's probably the quicker way. Could'a/should'a... summoning demons seems like the exact same thing, so that tracks.

I enjoy the two of them so much! This extremely useful and not at all hypocritical relationship he has with Wrath. Why can't everyone just operate in deals, it's so much simpler. He'll keep sharing information as long as he keeps delivering this way.

Do feel free to throw him into any of the Hargreeves' business, Five is fine with it.

[beitangmoran]

Moran loves to give shit to smart people lol.

And Xie Lian considers everyone friends unless they're like White No-Face and Qi Rong, until they prove they are not.

[somebadnews]

100% have my permission for this, Five always deserves it. So far Moran has seemed perfectly sensible, so I'm waiting for the time they disagree. A missed opportunity with ghosts, but let's just pull his brother over here and we'll have another talk.

Five kind of accidentally got to know Xie Lian so that's as close to friendship as he gets! As far as he knows he's the first person he's met in their group that's older than him, so thanks for that buddy. (He's also only like the third person to ask how old he is, it comes up less often than you'd think!)

[scrapgege]

yay friends

teach him about coffee five. he'll probably drink it because he drinks and eats everything.

[somebadnews]

He could, just for the novelty of someone who has lived to be 800(??) and has never had a cup of coffee. Imagine! And he can get it more easily here so he'd be more willing to share.

Five likes so few things, but a decent cup of coffee is like right under insanity math. Now if he could just get peanut butter marshmallow sandwiches... :(

[chosenfordarkness]

very high tolerance for assholes, hi hello.
will give him a hard time about his shit, salutations.
confusing magic, bingo bango.

So obviously these two need to meet and just snark at each other at least.

[somebadnews]

Yes, perfect.

Obviously. I would apologize for Five, but you know how it is. (I always apologize for Five.) I'm very curious how that will go after Slick tipped everyone off. Let's see what that's about!

[chosenfordarkness]

never apologize for fives because then I'll have to apologize for Anakin. Wherever it goes, I'm into it!

[somebadnews]

Excellent. It's a deal.
