Player name/preferred contact: Spencer, PM or flyawayblackbird Character name and canon: Rocket, Guardians of the Galaxy
About them: Rocket is a mechanical genius where nowhere to use his expertise right now. Back home, he invents anything from new weapons to tools, to things that let you fly.
He's also um ... very sarcastic and very angry at times, mostly because he's angry at the world for making him, and angry at himself for how lonely he is. Not that he'd ever admit that to anyone.
Rocket can also be very goal oriented, and he can tolerate a lot to achieve that goal. While he won't suppress his own distaste of someone, he'll still work with them. What a team player!
Finally, he treats his friends terribly on some kind of surface level, but he has your back when it counts. Making friends with Rocket won't be easy (or obvious) until a life or death situation — but that's when he'll show his true colors.
Current plans: Rocket is totally fresh meat, and also has an amazing track record of being able to break out of high-tech prisons, so he's not going to actually believe that he can't get out of here yet, no matter what anyone says. He's going to be poking around, pushing limits, and not entirely focused on making long term plans because he isn't convinced he'll be here long-term.
Desired CR: I'm not sure if the first month is too early, but while I know (and would love) to have some negative CR, I also want to put Rocket is these terribly awkward positions where people save his life and therefore he owes people something. It doesn't mean he'll be any less of a jerk, but he will try to return the favor. Also, I got a flavor of this on the TDM with Bluestar, but making friends with the very animal character here I think would do him a lot of good too!
I'm also really up for anything. The thing that makes me most anxious is negative CR carrying over OOC, because my overall RP experience suggests that it's hard for people not to take things personally (myself included!) but I would really love to work on that and have actual, gritty, movie-scene-worthy fighting/shouting/name-calling scenes with people.
