Player Name: Andie Preferred Contact: ampersandie#8263 on Discord Time Zone: Central Personal Style: I have a strong preference for prose, but will match what I'm given. I'm still developing my "system" for Wrench's communication, but currently I use italics to indicate American Sign Language, Courier New font to indicate anything handwritten or typed on his Fluid, and TREBUCHET MS FONT IN CAPITAL LETTERS to indicate the text-to-speech function. Clear as mud? Awesome.
OOC Limits: I'm pretty negotiable, but have a pretty severe trigger for neck/throat or wrist trauma. I'm not interested in playing out any injuries resulting from damage to those areas.
Character Name: Wrench Age: late thirties; ~38 Employment in Deerington: Wrench has recently begun his tenure as an American Sign Language professor for the Deerington Community College. He is also offering private tutoring lessons by request. Residence in Deerington: 707 David Cliff Apartments, technically. However, you're more likely to catch him at a little cabin by Lake Tomie, shared with Logan (howlett) and Kurt (suchmiracles).
Day to Day Activities: Right now, he's pretty heavy into American Sign Language instruction, either at the Community College or through private tutoring. He's also available for odd jobs and happy to sell his skills as a general handyman for hire. Wrench almost never sleeps, so you can pretty well catch him at any time of the day or night. If your character keeps an odd schedule themselves, they might find him out wandering. He'll be fishing, hunting, and foraging until the bitter end too. In between horrors he's found the time to wander the city and become fascinated with the underground music scene, and he's currently trading ASL lessons for cooking lessons with Blake.
About This Character: Wrech is a former hitman who worked -- and was largely raised up -- within the Fargo mob syndicate. He's about five years post-encounter that left his partner (professional and personal) dead, and the Fargo mafia as an organization totally obliterated. His canon is full of violence, and he's been central to a great majority of it.
Wrench is also canonically Deaf, which was probably evident based on previous answers to this meme. I've got a basic FAQ for some matters related to that, if you're interested.
Any Warnings: Death, gun violence, kidnapping & child endangerment.
Present Life: When Wrench first came to Deerington, he assumed he'd died and that this place was a kind of a purgatory. He spent the first month and a half filtering everything that happened through some pretty stereotypical religious lenses, just to try to make sense of it. Now that he's met more of his fellow Sleepers, he's started to realize this place can't be doling out punishment to Fundamentally Bad folks, because there's so many people here who are Good and Innocent. But strangely, he's also starting to realize that there's a lot about this place that's just plain better than his life before it, monsters be damned.
In canon prior to his entry, he was a really broken man. He'd lost the man he loved, the people who raised him, and any sense of stability (strange and wrong though it might have been). He was on his way to federal prison after having spent a half-decade on the run. Now that he's in Deerington, he's really learning how to connect and how to be close to people, and finally starting to process what his life has been like up to this point.
Future Ideas: I want him to keep grappling with these questions of what makes a person a monster, or irredeemable. I want him to have run-ins with folks who were in law enforcement, and folks who have a strong sense of faith. I want him to be challenged and questioned and eventually have to confront who he was before this place, since no one really knows the full scope of it.
I also want him to continue to struggle with these questions of what he's "good for." Violence is pretty baked-in for him, and it's always going to be a natural default setting. Maybe that means getting him involved with F.E.A.R., or maybe there's a seedy underbelly to this place that wants to use him for their own purposes. Wrench is, as his name suggests, largely a tool for other people's intentions. He has not enjoyed a whole lot of personal agency in his life to date, and I'm happy to keep up that push-and-pull struggle.
He is consistently aware that if he isn't here, he's either in prison or dead back home. That more than anything is probably going to make him want to find ways to stay.
CR You Want: ▸ friction with law enforcement officers ▸ friction with religious types ▸ friction with characters of questionable morals who want to use him for their purposes ▸ ASL students ▸ anyone who wants to hire him as a heavyweight ▸ kids for him to take under his wing/feed/support/worry about ▸ comrades who also think Deerington might actually be a good place for them to be, right now ▸ anyone capable of teaching him some basic magic ▸ someone to get this guy to loosen up ▸ fashionistas to fix this mess for him
CR You Don't Want: I truly can't think of anything I specifically don't want at this point.
