player ● name: Ros ● contact: weeyotch#8200 at discord! You can add/ping me on plurk (weeyotch) for plotting things, but disc is my preferred contact. ● threading preferences: Right now, I'm mostly focusing on network and inbox tags. Trying to keep things short and spammy because I don't have much time/energy at the moment for in-depth prose. ● threading habits: EST/EDT time zone. My current speed is "when I have a chance to actually sit at a computer," which, uh, AS OF RIGHT NOW seems to be Friday evenings and weekends. Sometimes I manage a few quick tags here and there during the day, too. ● about you: I'm currently doing an intensive training program that has me booked from 5 AM - 5 PM, and then I'm going to bed at 9 PM, soooo... THIS IS MY AVAILABILITY UNTIL THE END OF OCTOBER. I'm on hiatus right now, but I don't want to fall totally out of the loop for when I'm back (especially since my one and only character is so sociable), so I figure we can work out some handwaved and spammy interactions in the meantime!
character ● name: Jeff Calhoun ● age: 44 ● occupation: Teacher at Gramarye! No, he doesn't teach magic to the kids; he teaches basic subjects to the kids who can't/won't go to the regular school. SO THEY'RE NOT TOTALLY BEHIND THEIR PEERS. ● residence: A two-bedroom apartment he shares with his apprentice/surrogate daughter. ● about: Jeff's a wizard dad in a world where magic is out in the open-- or at least has been out in the open since the 1950s or something. And he's a bard! So he makes magic with music. Or he used to. Anyway, he was once a musician with dreams of becoming a big famous rockstar, and then that all went to shit and his life took a sharp turn in another direction. Now he's (amicably!) divorced, a high school history teacher, and he was living in the suburbs with his daughter until A CERTAIN MOON PORTAL TOOK HIM HERE. Jeff's pretty friendly and outgoing, and he alternates between being way too chill and way too panicky.
You can find more info about him and his world in this post.
(Watch me copy and paste everything from last month's CR meme.)
● what aspect of the game you are most interested in with this character: Slice of life stuff, primarily! Community building, making connections, being a friendly, outgoing dude. He's not great at any violent/crisis stuff, but he's a good, well-meaning person who wants to be active and helpful here in quarantine until he can get back home to his kid. I'm here for all the CR, positive, negative, and in-between. ● what plans you have for this character: Nothing in particular atm. Just winging it. I'd like to eventually get into more of his dumpster fire of a past and how a lot of those issues still reverberate throughout his life today, but he doesn't tend to be super open about it unless it's relevant to something else happening.
LUCKILY, THE LAST EXPLORATION LOG DUMPED HIS PAST ALL OVER HIM, so it's actually relevant and on his mind now. Unluckily, I can't do any deep dive into it until like... November. But I'm all for touching on it to some capacity in the meantime, through spammy or network interactions.
● shipping/smut preferences: TAKEN and in that new romance honeymoon period.
● what your character wants: To get back home ASAP!! But in the meantime, he wants to make friends, find more hobbies, have a nice relationship with a bearded gentleman, be a good mentor to Athena and anyone else who might need a wizard dad, and overcome some of the crippling anxieties holding him back from fulfillment... without relapsing into the self-destructive tendencies of his past. You know, normal stuff.
● what your character needs: Most of his wants and needs overlap! He also needs to be pushed out of his comfort zone more, because he's the kind of person who'll just settle into a COOL AND CASUAL rut if given the chance.
