Player Name: Fox Preferred Contact:fantomfox or fantomfox#2153 (discord) Time Zone: US EST (UTC -4) Personal Style: I will always style match, but left to my own devices, I tend towards action brackets with far too much introspection. My turnaround on tags has been pretty quick recently, but I'm in grad school and working full time, so please forgive random bouts of slowness. I will backtag for forever, so long as everyone is still having fun. OOC Limits: No sexual violence, although discussions of past trauma are okay. Please warn for animal cruelty, violence against children (yeah, I recognize some of the present canons), and anything to do with eyes.
Character Name: Technical Boy Age: looks in his mid-20s, but is really 130+ (because he's a New God) Employment in Deerington: He's well on his way to working for Ashe (and Shades, who he hasn't met yet) but has no official employment Residence in Deerington: Brahms, 418 David Cliff Apartments (which is a joke reference that I need to point out because I'm fond of it) Day to Day Activities: Visibly, the Technical Boy has mostly just been arguing with people on the Network as a means of information gathering and for fun. On his own time, he's been exploring the available technology in Deerington from an internal perspective (and is becoming all the more irate for it). He's been picking up the occasional odd jobs within his skill set. See below. Results TBD.
About This Character: The Technical Boy is one of the New Gods, god of technology and embodiment of the Internet. In his canon, he was doing really well and held a lot more power than he does in Deerington, and that's put him in a particularly foul mood. Not that he was ever a particularly charming sort to begin with. He is a deeply annoying and unpleasant sort of character, but I promise he has a lot to offer if you give him the chance. In order to survive and be effective as a deity, he'll need the help of some worshipers acquaintances. This means he'll try to make an effort to play nice. Maybe. Hopefully. But like the internet at large, he is very rude, vulgar, and quick to rise to a fight. Any Warnings:strong language, violence, verbal and/or physical abuse, and some adult content. I'm sure you've all noticed Technical Boy's fondness for the word "fuck". His vulgar language is the thing that will come up most often. (It can be toned down at a player's request, but he likely won't watch his language just because it makes a character uncomfortable.) There's a history of some sort of abuse in his past, evident in a few of his mannerisms. May come up in action brackets, but he won't be talking about it.
Present Life: He's been working on creating a more secure network option than (hackable) private posts (ie. a Dark Web equivalent), has been spying on people from within the Network [please see his permissions post], and has been on the lookout for any tech that can be used to build or upgrade existing hardware. Future Ideas: Despite his personality, he really really wants to be helpful to the sleepers. Seeing the results of his current actions is the more immediate goal, but he's trying very hard to get in touch with a variety of different people to expand his reach and his power base. That is to say: More and varied CR is the whole future idea. Can't wait to see what opportunities emerge!
CR You Want: Tech Boy really likes arguing with teenagers (or anyone) over the Network. More of this, because it's nothing personal and it's been great fun. Ideally, he needs more people he's not outrightly hostile or ambivalent towards. He doesn't do "friends" but anyone willing to withstand him in the interest of mutual survival is great. Negative CR is pretty much expected with a character like this, but it can be tempered with the "I don't like you but otherwise we're going to die here" perspective. CR You Don't Want: Not that I foresee this being an option, but he's definitely not ship material. It's not like he's not DTF, but he won't initiate and isn't a "relationship" sort of god.
