Emma | Threshold | DV8 (Wildstorm comics)

Player Name & Pronouns: Emma, she/her
Preferred Communication: DM or [plurk.com profile] violentsound
Character Name & Journal: Matthew Callahan, aka Threshold | [personal profile] onthe_threshold

Guild Affiliation: Oh, he'll probably wind up shuttled into the Society of Villainous Reformation, but he might not get there right away. The idea of him as the most hated contestant on Meta Mingle gives me the giggles, so. We'll see. He'll probably end up in Black Ops at least once at some point.

Plot/CR Hooks: Matt's a government supersolider with virtually no life experience outside of the program he was raised in. He does not know how to people. He's basically been crafted into a psychopath, and this is going to be the first time he will face consequences for things like, oh, exploding people for annoying him. His social ineptitude will most likely result in his blundering into situations he has no idea how to handle, so if you're a kind soul you can help him out. He has no idea what to do with people being nice to him besides assume it's a trick. He's emotionally constipated.

A former team leader, he does follow orders really well if he believes you're in charge, and gives orders really well if not. (He's more likely to respect female authority figures than male.)

Other government experiments will be the type he most relates to, or other telepaths. You can trick him into doing a lot of things just by making him angry or implying he sucks at something.

Character Motivations: Matthew has no idea what he wants. It's been a complete non-issue his entire life. He's also never had any friends - even his own sister hates his guts. So he'll be subconsciously looking for someone to give him a purpose, and muddling along trying to figure out how real life works.

Potential Roles: Bad guy. Oh, he can be a cackling, cape-wearing, voiced-by-Mark-Hamill bad guy. He's a killing machine with a lot of experience in covert Intelligence operations, so even though he's a colossal dick he's really useful if you put a leash on him.

He has experience training new metahumans, although he's a little more Gny. Sgt. Hartman than Charles Xavier.
