Character Name & Journal: Guy Crood | acroodawakening Guild Affiliation: Alliance, but not happy about it. He'll mostly do it out of distrust, worried they'll cut off his trips home if he doesn't join. And also because it's hard to get by when you're illiterate and from the Neolithic, even if you've had exposure to more advanced technology enough to learn to use some of it. Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: Guy is from an absolutely gorgeous (though dangerous) prehistoric world, where he usually lives with his mate, her cavepeople family, and his dead parents' best friends and their daughter. But he's spent the last 9 IC months as a crau in another game. A Hunger Games rp so...yikes. (Opt out here, and please keep in mind I absolutely can bypass a lot of angst if needed.)
As such, he's kind of a mess right now, whose primary IC motivation is just surviving in the game world and making sure he can visit home as often as he can until he gets to go home permanently.
However, my OOC goals are to have him slowly regain the control over his life that got taken away (he went through everything from being set up to die and hry revived multiple times, to having his clothing and grooming micromanaged bc fuck Panem and their weird Capitol media crap).
I want him to come to enjoy helping people as a superhero, and meet enough good people to restore his faith in humanity somewhat, including learning about how in a semi-normal modern world like in meta there are even many groups of people in general society trying to do good that aren't just the Starfallen.
Plot/CR Hooks: Guy is absolutely fascinated with science so he'd basically hound any scientists to learn more. He's an inventor by his world's standards and has figured out a lot of clever survival tricks like shoes and traps. He learned a lot of basic science in the old game by asking questions and would love to learn more, especially in a world where he can experiment for funsies for once.
He could also really use help learning how to read. He's currently illiterate and knows it's a hurdle to learning some of the things he wants to learn from a future society. He also loves playing games and sharing stories and jokes.
What Guy can offer others is that he is an absolute mom friend. Going through hell with other people only made any empathetic traits grow a lot stronger out of a stubborn refusal to be corrupted by the cruelty around him, and out of using connection with friends and allies as a source of strength to weather bad shit. For people that struggle to get along with others unless they're patient, or could really use someone willing to show them some intense care as a friend, he's your guy. He's also 22, which is a great age to big bro any teens, and he's already used to doing so in multiple respects.
He also still can be pretty glib and goofy and would be pretty desperate to lighten up by doing some hardcore clowning with people. So if they want a buddy to get up to stupid hijinks with he'd be 100% down. He's going to be reveling in having more freedom to do dumb fun bullshit.
Alternately, he can definitely identify with other survivors of fascist governments and whatnot.
