I do not "brainrot". I brainferment so my brain will become even smoother and even more potent than before in its smoothness.

Sorry for my absence! A Volunteering position suddenly turned into a Volunteer Leadership position I was not expecting at all so things have been hectic.

Look at you posers, having to bang dragons or sell your soul for magic when you could just play a lute for some. Anyways, here's Wonderwall. - Bards
About the part of pansexuals, I don't hate pansexuals themselves, I hate the names of the sexualities people come up with. That's real BS to me and at which point you aren't doing anything but attention whoring by being a "unilateral tetrahedral bipanhomoheterosexual"
"Some people say being a Dreamer is better than being Realist, just remember that Realists are the people who make dreams come true." ~Hayden Anderson
Name
Hayden Shiri Anderson
Nicknames
Anderson is his preferred alias as he finds Hayden a bit too feminine for his liking. Calling him by his middle name is a sure fire way to piss him off as he feels its reserved for family only and it sounds too much like "Sherry" when english-speakers say it.

Gender
Male
Sexual Orientation
Heterosexual
Occupation
Props Master
Appearance
Anderson is most characterized by his resting, seemingly uncaring bitch face. That said, he does have a dashing smile that he shows every few blue moons. He's a tall man at about 6' 2" with an average built and has always looked young for his age.
His eyes are a dark coffee brown, already having stress lines and dark under eyes if you look close enough, and his black hair is slick due to either hair spray or gel. If he didn't take the time to "tame" it in the morning, chances are he'd look like an anime character. He does shave a lot as his facial hair can grow quite rapidly and thus he often experiments with different facial hair styles at a whim. Right now however, he's clean shaved.
The other major part to note about him is his hands, rough and dirty from his job of constantly making things (and his nail biting habits). No matter how well he cleans them, they will always have traces of dirt or oil or something. Despite how often he is hunched over something, his back is always straight up like a drill sergeant's.
Clothing wise, he favors working clothes or formal or something in between. Jeans and fancy vests are his favorite items though.
"If I cared about your excuses, I'd write a book about it and make it into my own damn movie."
Personality
Perhaps the most prevalent thing about Anderson is his snark, now in varying shades of mockery, sarcasm, annoyance, bluntness and indifference. He's a very down to earth and pragmatic man with a strong and dedicated work ethic but that doesn't stop him from chewing the hell out of people, even his superiors can only have such an amount of control over his snark.
To the people he opens up to, Anderson's snark has more of a humorous side and his willingness to help them personally increases. However, he absolutely refuses to be connected to "special snow flakes". That isn't to say he'll sneakily help them in some way, but it means he just won't talk to them and point out their flaws more often.
Job wise, he's very stubborn, once he has an idea on how something should be made or handled, he will stick by it. This is a sort of double edged sword where on one hand, the things he uses and makes are of exceptional quality, and in the other, he tends to ignore deadlines and pre-set budgets. And because he puts so much effort and time into the stuff he makes, he hates seeing it destroyed. Thus, its not far fetched to see that Anderson doesn't hold the pyrotechnics people in the highest regards.

History
Anderson was born to rural country girl and a city kid, his parents meeting in college. For as long as he knew, his mother had been a chemical researcher while his father had been a dentist. One would say here that it would make little sense on how Anderson would have acquired his skills set from this, but it was actually his Grandfather who taught him handicrafts and otherwise blue collar work (and his attitude).
Never the amazing student, Anderson gravitated towards the nerds who'd put models together and paint them or the robotics geeks who'd obsessed about making sure every screw was right and re-checked lines of code twenty times over. Getting into wargaming himself, he saved up pocket and job money to get into it, taking the time to hand paint and decorate his little models with custom creations which got more complex and elaborate as time went on.
His first experience with the fine arts came late in his high school career when he decided to join the props and scenery crew of the school theater club. Within his first show, he had become de facto leader of the crew after rather viciously chewing out the actual leader and out doing him by making half the things needed on his own. Impressive to say the least, he'd gotten himself a permeant standing as leader of said crew until he graduated.
After graduating college, he began to search for work, doing various odd jobs to stay alive. Despite his skill at producing props and scenery, his lack of finer points of social conduct made getting said jobs a lot harder. It didn't help that he was young and lack contacts within the industry to help him. After working on small films, Anderson's true break out into the industry might just be now.
Why did you decide to work for this movie?
He needs money and a break out role to prove that he didn't just waste his life going after an other wise worthless talent.

Into the wrong hands > Family of Spies > Soulmates
- The Hero is a Part-Timer - In a fantasy world, hundreds of mages, warriors, and rouges are trained to fight against the Demon Lord to defeat him. The main character is the one in the prophecies and trains extensively to defeat him... only to be banished to Earth right before the fight. With no way back to his home, he's forced to get used to living on Earth despite being trained and raised as a great hero.
- Twin Souls: Moonlit Dawn - The main character discovers that they are the magical clone of the villain who attempts to resurrect an ancient beast that could destroy the world. With both the villain and the MC able to hear each other's thoughts and know where the other is, the MC has to find a way to raise an army to invade the villain's castle.
- Digital Cage - In a dystopian future, a girl finds that her lover's brain is being used as a CPU for an advanced piece of military robots. Altering saving her lover, both of them must evade the military to find someone who not only locate the lover's original body, but restore his mind.
- Endymion: Symphony of Echoes - Again in the far future, a popular vacationing space station on the outer rim of Galactic Senate space has gone dark and a team of commandos have been sent in to investigate. They discover that the "Happiest Place in Space" is not what it seems and that there are worse fates then death...
- When Johnny Comes Marching Home - Set in WW2, the story follows the fictional "21st Infantry Battalion" as they make their way through the war but continuously loose their numbers until the very end where everyone in it has perished right before the war is won. Basically a film showing how war is horrible.
"I made that thing. If you want to destroy it in a stunt, you're paying me extra for it."
Fear not, all you must remember are these important facts:
The Pharaohs ruled all People built big ass pyramids to store dead people and not grain There was one mofo named Tut who shows us what happens when you go to war under the influence There was that Cleopatra chick who even the Romans tapped dat ass for Something something Ramses, something something Horus Hearsay, something something SO. MUCH. FUCKING. SAND. Mummies are for nobilities only. The British learned what happens when you fuck with the Valley of Kings The Pharaohs jacked off into the Nile once a year in public. Oh and those cool ass scythe swords. And chariots. And then the Assyrians came in and fucked them up before the Romans did it too.
I am totally well up to date on Egyptian history and could teach it at a college level.
@ayzrules It could, but that seems more than just alternate history to me and where are we supposed to find a map to represent that? Unless someone wants to try and find one/make one, we're all stuck with the same earth we know.
The other option was to have my Character be some how related to your character by way of cousin or something and effectively making him part of the royal family despite not actually knowing much about you.
The thing is that I don't know how large your version of China is.
Also, where else can I put it? I wanted a China-based nation since I know more about that than other places and most of Asia doesn't quite follow how China works. India is separated by the mountains and doesn't need much explanation, Korea is actually rather different which I don't know much of, same story with Mongolia and South East Asia is sort of a cluster fuck that I don't actually know much about personally. I could do Japan but I have a desire to play as my ethnicity for this RP for some reason <.<"
I don't feel comfortable saying "this part of Asia is now completely China-fied" and ignore the national traditions of the nations I'd be replaces, it just doesn't sit well with me (I know, I'm weird, you can yell at me about it later). The RP says that its taking place in an Alternate History instead of it being a completely fantasy world which in any other case I'd be fine with having multiple nations based on an IRL nation.
@ayzrulesThe thing is that my original plan was to a modern Imperial dynasty that had came to power through the "natural" way in a China where there was no civil war backed by ideology. You sure you can't do a the warlord thing?
Another option is too have my character be some how related to you by way of cousin or uncle's son or something but I do humbly request to rename some of the places, I'm going to admit I'm not a big fan of some of the names you've come up with :P
@ayzrulesYeah, its rather different than the one I originally viewed which was just a continuation of the dynastic cycle. Would you be willing to make some changes? c:
