Personal Style: I've got a strong preference for prose, but I will match style if you want something different. Mostly I tag in the evenings after my regular 8 - 5, but once in a while I'll throw in some tags while I'm at work. If I'm tagging around in between other obligations I'll grab my fast tags first and might boomerang if things are really speedy, but otherwise it's a steady chipping away with the occasional fits and starts. (Admittedly more fits than starts these past couple of months, but life is tough.)

I've got a whole system*~ for Wrench's communication right now:
→ American Sign Language is indicated through italics
→ Handwritten or typed Fluid messages are written in Courier New
→ TEXT-TO-VOICE IS TREBUCHET MS AND CAPITAL LETTERS

OOC Limits: My only hardcore OOC trigger is violence centered around the throat or wrists. I would prefer a conversation before engaging in storylines that involve an element of ableism, but I'm not inherently opposed. Please just chat with me first if you anticipate that it would be a part of your character's reaction.

Character Name: Wrench (or Wes to his very close CR)
Age: ~39
Employment in Deerington:
American Sign Language Professor at Deerington Community College (also available for private tutoring)
Manes on Main Owner and Barber

Residence in Deerington: 98.5% at the cabin by Lake Tomie with howlett, suchmiracles, speed_of_snark, and dividingline. 1.5% on the seventh floor of David Cliff Apartments.

Day to Day Activities: At any given time, you're welcome to find Wrench at Deerington Community College, at his barbershop on East Main Street, or around town as he makes his way between private tutoring lessons. He also spends a good amount of time hunting, fishing, trapping, and foraging around the cabin and near Lake Tomie. He's a regular at B&B's Restaurant, though usually makes his appearance just before they open for morning service. Wrench can also be found in the evenings hanging out at Pixie's Booze and Moves where he will be keeping an eye on things, helping deliver drinks and mop up spills, and occasionally engaging in some after-hours slow dancing.

About This Character: Wrench is a former hitman who worked for -- and was largely raised up within -- the Fargo crime syndicate. SPOILERS: He's taken from a canon point where he's five years out from the incident that killed his former partner (dividingline) and completely obliterated Fargo. The five years prior were largely spent with him on the run. Just before his introduction to Deerington, he was captured and on his way to federal prison.
Any Warnings: Because of Wrench's background, both his canon and his personal history are heavy on gun violence, general violence, murder, torture, and kidnapping. I also assume based on canon clues that he was coercively kidnapped as a child and groomed to become a hitman, and that his early life contained elements of child abuse.

Present Life: Wrench views Deerington as the best place he could possibly be right now, and is generally trying to adjust to the most "normal" life he's ever lived, in between bouts of torture and strange incidents with monsters. Still, he'd take this place over where he comes from any day of the week. (A point that I'd like to create some eventual friction for him with.) He's enjoying the company of the men in the cabin and developing some really, really strong connections (as is his canon tendency).

Right now, Wrench is in the process of figuring out for himself who he is, apart from the tool that he's been used as for most of his life. What can and what would he do if left entirely to his own devices? He's basically accepted Deerington at this point and has moved from questioning how he got here to using this place as an opportunity to try everything life has denied him.

Future Ideas:
→ Wrench recently enlisted some help honing the very elementary magic skills he was initially taught some time ago. I'd love to continue to explore this aspect and delve a little more deeply into what's possible for him to access.

→ Manes on Main needs Sleepers with unique physical characteristics to continue to develop these products and treatments Wrench wants to sell. Feathers, fur, scales, shells, tails, whatever! Also people whose talents might mean they need to take extra care, like speedsters with road rash on their feet or magic users whose magic can cause repeated physical injury. Whatever. Bring him customers.

→ American Sign Language students are always welcome, either via Deerington Community College or private instruction. Wrench would love to trade knowledge and talent, so if your character has a cool skill to share and would like to learn ASL in exchange, please hit him up.

→ Over the last few months, some interpersonal problems in his relationships have led Wrench to the genuine realization that he's pretty poorly socialized. Or, at the very least, his values and expectations of interactions between people run pretty contrary to the norm. I'd love to play with this a little bit more and create some mild friction with the fact that this dude just has some unusual thoughts on personal behavior and group values.

→ Once he finally opens up to technology, I think he's going to love it. He's obviously embraced the Fluid as a good tool for mitigating conversation, but needs someone to push him to use it more. Staggr, posting to the network, taking pictures, whatever. Help a guy out.

CR You Want: Taking all comers, honestly. Wrench has reached a point of utter fascination over the fact that there are so many people here to talk to, and so many who are willing to take the time to talk to him. He's been living in his mind for the last half-decade, and the fact that everyone here is from a different place with different experiences is overwhelming in the best way for him. Come tell him about yourself.
CR You Don't Want: Romance is pretty well covered, but I'm open to all else.
