[hider=Jeremy Lindall] [b]WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER'S NAME? WHAT DO THEY PREFER TO BE CALLED?[/b] Jeremy Lindall. Call him Jeremy, and goddamnit, you’d [i]better[/i] not call him Jerry. It sounds stupid! [b]HOW ARE THEY BEST RECOGNIZED IN A CROWD?[/b] Tired, bored eyes, kind of like a dead fish. Other than that, he looks pretty much average in every way. Somehow, despite his hair being kind of short, it still looks almost unmanageably messy. [b]WHAT IS A STRANGER'S FIRST IMPRESSION UPON MEETING THEM? HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER SEE THEMSELVES?[/b] Well, it probably wouldn’t be great… He’d seem pretty lazy, bored, and almost kind of standoffish. He also tends to see himself in a pretty negative light, and kind of useless. A pretty good fisherman and cook though, so you know, there are [i]some[/i] merits to his continued existence… [b]WHERE DID THEY GROW UP? WHERE DO THEY FEEL AT HOME?[/b] Jeremy’s a Duskwick native, born and raised. He mostly enjoys spending time by the lake, where things seem… well, peaceful. Or at least they [i]used to[/i]. [b]WHO ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN THEIR LIVES?[/b] His two best friends, Adrian Clark and Hannah Washburne, as well as his older sister and legal guardian, Eleanor Lindall. Without them, he wouldn’t be the wonderful, charming person he is today! Yeah yeah, hilarious, I know. Still, there's no way he'll actually [i]tell[/i] them how much he cares about them. [b]WHAT IS THEIR PROFESSION, SKILL OR LIFESTYLE? WHAT DO THEY THINK THEIR STRENGTHS ARE? WHAT ARE THEIR ACTUAL STRENGTHS?[/b] He’s very new to it, but he’s currently working as a chef in one of the local restaurants. As for strengths, well, apart from the cooking and fishing things, he really couldn’t give you an answer. Maybe his hilarious, ever present snark? His actual strengths though… There are a couple of [i]those[/i] worth mentioning. For one, he’s far better at improvising than he cares to admit, even to himself! Along with that, despite his tendency to deny it, he can find himself getting pretty fired up once he actually finds something he cares about, and it gets difficult to stifle his determination once it gets to that point. Finally, thanks to his sister’s insistence on learning, he’s fairly good with a gun, as well as martial arts. Usually, he’d probably have seen it as a waste of time, but Ellie decided that, if all the crazies would have access to firearms, he should at least learn how to defend himself as well. Actually, the martial arts kind of [i]was[/i] his idea. He… He watches a lot of anime… And before anyone brings it up, yes, he knows his strengths, weaknesses and overall general personality seem like the perfect, toxic cocktail that usually ends up making a school shooter, but no. He's not. And he's tired of old classmates making the damn joke! [b]WHAT ARE THEIR FEARS, FLAWS AND SECRETS?[/b] What, apart from the general fear of death? Well, he’s terrified of heavy mist, after getting lost in a large, empty field during a day that was full of it. The fact that he’d just watched the movie ‘The Mist’ right before didn’t help much. Also ghosts. Just… Fucking [i]ghosts[/i]. For flaws, he really [i]is[/i] pretty lazy most of the time, and it's rare for him to actually get interested in a lot of things. For him to put in the effort to even [i]pretend[/i] to be interested is pretty rare. There's also the fact that, while it doesn't come up too often, Jeremy has absolutely [i]no[/i] artistic talent. This is odd, considering he draws [i]a lot[/i]. In fact, it's also probably the only way his nature as an optimist comes out, and he rarely writes anything by hand without a few badly drawn little doodles did their way onto the paper, to the endless amusement of anyone he leaves a note to. He only really has one secret, and that's… well… He's actually so grateful to his friends and sister, to the point that he can't even say it because after this long it would be too embarrassing. Also that he's actually an optimist, even if he never acts like it. And the ghosts thing, but that's not quite as much of a secret considering most people know about it already. [b]WHAT DO THEY WANT MOST? WHAT DO THEY ACTUALLY NEED?[/b] I don't know, how about some goddamn [i]peace and quiet![/i] But nah, in all seriousness, he really wants to find out what happened to Adrian, because OOPS OH NO SPOILERS he totally disappeared. Funny enough, thats actually also what he really needs, so hey, at least his priorities line up properly! [b]IF YOUR CHARACTER COULD HAVE ANY SUPERNATURAL ABILITY, WHAT WOULD IT BE?[/b] Wow, kinda putting him on the spot, aren't you? Maybe… Summoning. Yeah, probably that. Summoning familiars, weapons, stuff that he uses in everyday life, whatever he needs so he doesn't have to get up all the time. Or portals. That could help too. [b]WHY ARE THEY HERE IN DUSKWICK? WHAT IS THEIR OPINION OF THE STRANGE RUMORS?[/b] He lives there, and he hates it because now there are a bunch of idiots running around filming themselves shouting and exploring old buildings with their phones. And they always do it in [i]vertical![/i] So, you know, he kinda [i]hopes[/i] they disappear… Just a little… [b]HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THIS CHARACTER CHANGE AND DEVELOP?[/b] Maybe he'd stop being so aloof and lazy, open up to some of the goddamn bloggers who keep showing up all over town… Hell, maybe he'll even make some friends! And he'll show everyone how much of a badass he is too, so that'll be fun. [b]PITCH A SMALL SUBPLOT THAT WOULD BE PERSONALLY MEANINGFUL TO YOUR CHARACTER.[/b] Well, Adrian, his second oldest and best friend in the whole goddamn world has disappeared, so he's also kind of invested in discovering what the hell is going on. Maybe he'll even make some [i]new[/i] friends in the process. [/hider]
