• Appearance
  
  Height: 6'3"
  
  
  Weight: No idea
  
  
  Hair: Blonde
  
  
  Eyes: Blue
  
  
  Body: Abnormally Lanky
  
  
  Attire: Stylish Mortician Aesthetic (Three Piece Suits, dark colors, sunglasses, et cetera)
  
  
  
• Personality
  
  Mildly immature, deep-thinking, devil's advocate, constantly questioning and never satisfied with simple answers. Bit of a loner but not not outgoing; would argue with a sign post if he thought it was wrong, which is likely, given that he usually assumes others are wrong. Ergo, he argues a lot. Stubborn, which might goes without saying.
  
  
  
• History
  
  Born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, in Charlestown, a fact which comes across quite clearly in his accent. Worked as a local cop with the Boston PD for just under ten years before joining up with the FBI, where he's been working in the Violent Crimes division as an investigator for the past five or so years.
  
  
  He's recently come across a case involving some fairly inexplicable elements of a potentially paranormal nature, which has resulted in his being referred to DDAMPSEA in order to explore some potentially abnormal and/or supernatural links within the open case he's currently investigating.
  
  
  Currently, he's uninitiated in the world of the supernatural, and has long held a largely skeptical view of the possibility that such things exist.
  
  
  
• Relationships
  
  Currently single, emotionally stunted, largely alone.
  
  
  
• Equipment
  
  Regulation-issue sidearm, FBI badge, cell phone, pack of cigarettes, lighter, keychain
  
  
  
• Skills:
  
  Masters' Degree in Psychology specializing in deviant and criminal psychopathology, which basically means he's decent at working out why people do the things they do, particularly when the aforementioned things they do are of a more illicit nature.
  
  
  Incredible capacity for arguing at length until his (usually largely unwilling) opponent gives in to his views out of sheer exhaustion.
  
  
  Not a terrible shot, but also not a huge fan of using deadly force.
  
  
  Weaknesses:
  
  Sexual come-ons, dark liquors, genuine emotional connections. The usual.
  
  
  Also, naturally, the more general weaknesses of any normal run-of-the-mill human. Mortality, vulnerable squishy flesh parts, et cetera.
  
  
  

 

[Sleipnir]

He looks good! Everything but the line about skepticism of the supernatural. There is meant to be a very strong paranormal presence in the game, including non-humans having citizenship. He can still be a skeptic if you REALLY want, but he'll likely be from a mostly-human area if that's the case.

 

[Mulder]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, that he's fairly uninitiated with the whole DDAMPSEA/supernatural business in general, and has been operating more in the strictly human/real-world world for his entire life. He's not gonna be perpetually like convinced he's losing his mind, he'll re-orient pretty quickly within the bounds of the RP's verse, but I think some period of adjustment and a sort of series of 'hang on, so all this stuff is like, real?' could be interesting.


He won't be some vehicle to pooh pooh or naysay the claims of the rest of the verse, or anything, just sort of plan on starting him from a decidedly uninitiated position and slowly easing him into the verse that way, so he'll be asking loads of questions and prying into how all this supernatural/paranormal business works, and occasionally he'll be dubious, but he's not one to deny when the evidence of something unbelievable is right in front of his face.


Would that work? If that makes sense at all, at least, if not, ask me for a bit more clarification and I'll be happy to provide it.

 

[Sleipnir]

Well, the thing is the 'real world' IS supernatural. He can still be pretty off his feet but the world isn't hiding supernatural business here.

What sleip is trying to say is that in this 'verse it would be a bit like being someone from an isolated part of America and not knowing Chinese people existed. Questions about culture and how that world versus yours works would be understandable, but not necessarily questioning their existence if that makes sense? As in, they'd be in the news and likely in history books.
