Character Name & Journal: Dr. Otto Octavius / doctopoda Guild Affiliation: Guardian Alliance, largely for the resources but also because he'll panic the second anyone suggests the villain club to him
Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: Short-term, Otto's mostly worried about securing housing and a job, and about Norman. Long-term, he has no specific goals, because he's kinda fucked up and still getting used to the fact that he will not be dying in a river anytime soon! His vague ambitions are mostly to do some good (to prove he's not a totally irredeemable monster) and to find one or more new projects to focus on (to continue ignoring the Crushing Weight of Trauma and Despair). Just because he's not running around trying to kill Spider-man anymore does not mean any of his other issues are actually resolved! He's just trying really hard to pretend like he's fine, and it is so untenable!
Plot/CR Hooks: - Easy one first - who here is gonna immediately recognize him as Doc Ock and what is that gonna look like? I'm not that familiar with comics canon but I did read 616 Ock's wiki page, and like...wow! Otto thinks he did some shit! - Science stuff! Otto doesn't really have any personal drive to return home - he has nothing to go back to except maybe turboprison - but he'll want to help everyone else get where they need to go. Definitely interested in joining any ongoing Confluence research efforts and making science friends! Also, he's from like 2004 so he's got some catching up to do around here technology-wise, but honestly that part will be kinda exciting for him! Tell him about all these new developments! Show him how to use a smartphone! - Fellow people who Done Fucked Up! Is there like, an ex-villain support group or something? Do we need one? He likely still won't want to associate with anyone who's actively causing harm, but he'll be pretty understanding with people who are struggling; it's not like he's got a ton of room to judge. - Mentorship stuff! Otto's universe absolutely does not have a million teenage superheroes running around, so he's gonna be sort of perturbed by all that? Especially after his experiences with Young Peter, he'll want to try and help look out for these kids as best he can. He'd be a pretty solid Science Mentor, and while his own life is a fucking mess, he actually gives good advice on interpersonal stuff? - He and Norman are gonna be forming a unit to navigate all of this together like immediately (oh my god they’re roommates) so if you're dealing with one you're pretty likely to encounter the other sooner or later. Also Harry, although they have not met yet.
As far as the actual intro log goes, while he's low-key kinda pissed about the vloggers, he doesn't really want to be involved in any more fighting right now. He'll intervene if he sees anyone else in danger, though, or if someone tries to murder a vlogger in front of him. Also please god someone try to explain to this man what the fuck a vlogger is in the middle of all this chaos
