Character Name: Martin Blackwood Age: 32 Employment in Deerington: Deerington Library Residence in Deerington: Blackwood Run Day to Day Activities: - Working at the Library. - Training with Helena in the evenings. - Visiting the horse that has claimed him and who hangs out around the greener parts of Deerington. - Talking to the robot friend he made during May/June and who was not able to escape the glass dome. It hangs out vaguely around Blackwood Run. - Preparing for a variety of apocalypse scenarios. - He is generally very much a homebody when he's not at work or getting things for the house/apocalypse preparations, and can be seen more often talking to things that are not human than actual humans.
About This Character: On the surface, Martin is friendly, if a bit awkward and nervous. He can trip over his words sometimes, but he tries very hard to be supportive and empathetic. Getting past that surface level can be a challenge as he general tries to keep people at arm's length out of habit. In a crisis situation, he can become more confident and assertive, doing his best to keep people safe and taking calculated risks. Those who dig in and really get to know him will find that Martin is still a very kind man, but he can be snide and a little high-strung, very focused on planning and trying to control as many variables in the world around him to protect his loved ones. He's also incredibly lonely and suffers from a more mundane sort of depression that results in occasional spells of apathy that he has to force himself to bull through and remember why and how he cares. Any Warnings: Martin is from a horror canon and has had a lot of horrific things happen to him! The most likely to come up are emotional manipulation/abuse, isolation, abandonment, depression (both supernatural and mundane), memory manipulation and loss, claustrophobia, character death, apocalypse, body horror, and disorientation/reality warping.
Present Life: Martin lives with his eldritch bf, Jonathan Sims and his dead coworker, Sasha James. His main goals are surviving, keeping the people he cares about alive, and preparing for the next thing that's going to try to kill them... around more mundane chores. While he's supportive of research efforts, he's choosing to focus on keeping everyone else going rather than delving too deeply, into things, himself. Someone needs to keep a level head and he's surrounded by people who get obsessive about research! He can most often be found at the library or out shopping for supplies. He's also focused on finding and destroying Leitners, cursed books that have turned up around town from his canon!
Future Ideas: When things are not quite as dire... Martin is actually an amateur poet! I'd love for him to get strong-armed into participating in a poetry-reading night. On the more plotty side of things, I'm going to be saving up to get him a story clue to force him out of his comfort zone in just supporting other people in plot stuff. Martin is also probably going to be getting a bit jealous of Jon's growing friendships with other people in the coming months. He tries to keep a lid on it, but if your character is friendly with Jon and you want someone being snippy... he can provide.
CR You Want: Friends! Martin needs more friends. He's got some friendly acquaintances going and I'd like to deepen those and reach out for more. On the flip side... give Martin some enemies. He's good, but he's certainly not perfect, and being that Jon is his boyfriend... well. I'm sure people can draw some conclusions about the sort of man that he is from that. CR You Don't Want: Not currently looking to kill Martin, but anything else is on the table!
