PLAYER: Lone Sheep (aka Sheep) CONTACT: PM or lonesheep TELL US ABOUT YOUR FINE SELF: The exact opposite of Five, I promise. Photographer and artist-type who likes birds. I take cream and sugar in my coffee.
CHARACTER: Number Five Hargreeves CANON: The Umbrella Academy ELEVATOR PITCH FOR YOUR CHARACTER: He's fun! Guy with the power to manipulate space and time, who got trapped in a post-apocalyptic world for 45 years the first time he tried to time travel (he's 58 btw). Then he got picked up by the Commission (basically the time police) and worked as an assassin before he figured out how to go back to stop the apocalypse and broke his contract. But he screwed it up and reverted back to his 13 year old body. That old story.
Semi-crazy and sassy little SOB who teleports everywhere. Zero problems with murder or telling you how much better he is than you. You definitely want him on your team. ICE BREAKER ROUNDS: i. Here your character is, minding their own or someone else's business in a tavern of the Sa-Hareth merchants' arena, when in comes a particularly persistent middle-aged woman with an eerily trademark haircut, insisting your character should give her prompt, first-class and no-nonsense service now, or she'll speak to their manager. How does your character react?
You in danger, girl. If blinking away isn't an option: Five would stare and wonder if she's actually talking to him, or if she's got horrible eyesight. Pretty sure he's older than her, so that's always hilarious. Then smile that super friendly smile of his and make some remark that will probably make sure she remembers him. Hopefully the manager gets there quick enough.
ii. A weirdly hapless humanoid undead that thinks itself a dog keeps following your character (home). What does your character name it?
Five does love naming things, but nah, those things wig him the eff out. He'd probably address it affectionately with generic names like "disgusting wheezebag" or "slimy sack of worm food", they're just gross. Maybe "Klaus." (Fun fact: in the comics he had a puppy named Mr. Pennycrumb. Give the poor guy a puppy, his lost childhood...)
ANY EVENT PLANS SO FAR?Initial escape plotting! I'll hop on that log in a jiffy but feel free to plot out anything with me I'll be so grateful. ANYTHING YOUR CHARACTER URGENTLY NEEDS FIGURED OUT IN SA-HARETH? Oh my god where is his family?? Low-key constant freak out about not knowing where they landed after the portal they were supposed to go through, so plan on him being very motivated to learn and travel around the market and they're probably dead again aren't they... Laser focused here. What is eating and sleeping? Fully ready to rob a bank for coin if it gets him somewhere quicker. Probably a lot of thievery in his future until he figures something else out.
