What to Expect: Feel free to add me, no need to ask. I really only talk about RP on plurk.

Characters Played: Vance Hopper | The Black Phone
Offered CR/Character Personality: Vance is a teenage bully (and gamer) who was feared by everyone at his school and liked by pretty much no one. He got murdered and became a ghost. While he was a ghost he helped one person and felt good about it even if he doesn't understand why (who knew that doing good things and helping people was actually rewarding? not him).

He's bad at expressing any emotions other than anger and sarcasm, doesn't know how to cope with his past trauma or with being here, AND although he has realized he wants to be better than he used to be he's also very unsure about how to do that. He's also realizing that he, a regular teenager, can't really go toe-to-toe with trained fighters and magic users and robots and thus can't rebuild his tough guy reputation here. In other words, he has a lot of problems and almost zero answers. Being fifteen sucks.

Wanted CR: Anything really! He's moody and thinks that he doesn't need friends, but he does. If he hasn't met your character yet he'll probably be a bit mean to them at first (and may still fly off the handle if provoked) so if you want to be his enemy or rival that also works.

Fellow teens and young adults are easier for him to trust, but he needs some healthy adult presences in his life too even if he's slow to warm to them. People who would be patient and gentle with him and on the opposite end people who would call him out on his bullshit are both wanted.

He's currently in the process of trying to find something productive to do on the ship. It's partly a genuine desire to be useful for something after a life of being dismissed as one of the "bad kids". It's also partly an attempt to avoid having to focus on himself and his relationships with other people, because accomplishing tasks is cool and fun but dealing with his emotions and being vulnerable and rethinking the way he treats people is scary and very hard. So, anyone who can help with either of those problems is great.
