PLAYER. HANDLE: dove CONTACT: PM this journal / pp prettydoes / disco dove#9906 TAGGING: Central time zone! My busiest day of the week is Tuesday, and my weekends are Friday-Saturday. Depending on how crazy work is (this has been a busy summer.....), I can end up being a bit inconsistent, but I try to stay caught up. INTERESTS: Terrible shit, tbh--ask me about the Alex Jones recap podcast I can't stop listening to! Books (kidlit, nonfiction, and classics, mostly), movies (esp. old Hollywood), music (mostly American stuff, esp. traditional pop/the Great American Songbook), the history of everyday people, cooking/baking, sewing, learning to draw, trying to keep on top of my shit, quiet strangenesses of all stripes. I mostly do memes and shit on my plurk.
CHARACTER. NAME: ruth aldine CANON: marvel (x-men comics, specifically) LANGUAGE: american english TL;DR: she's got no eyes, a weird vocal tic, and a lotta problems. kind of suicidal atm, but otherwise a somewhat awkward, well-meaning nerd around age 19 who likes watchmen and can see the future. normally, anyway. she's lost a lot of her independence in-game, which has really not been her favourite (bUT IT'S STILL BETTER THAN WHAT SHE'D BE DOING AT HOME).
RUNDOWN:MADE THE EXCELLENT CHOICE TO DO PSYCHIC SHIT AFTER EVERYONE ELSE WAS LIKE PLEASE DON'T DO PSYCHIC SHIT. please feel free to get involved with that. right now, she's recovering, but in a while, she'll be back to sorry-yes-pardon her way through a HEY GUYS THE SETTING IS ALIVE broadcast. beyond that, she's mostly just trying to get her old school principal back home so he can fix everything with the help of a guy who shoots lasers out his eyes. OFFERED CR: so, probably needless to say, ruth is pretty odd, and she's aware of it! she's not terribly surprised by complicated or negative cr developments, and frankly, i'm as for them as i am positive cr.
roles she fits into easily include:
• the weird friend (or weird acquaintance, or weird enemy) • that girl in the corner who makes bad choices • that girl in the corner who's trying to stop you from making bad choices fuck's sake!!!!
personality-wise, ruth is someone who takes time to open up but can end up being fun, sarcastic, flirty, teasing, etc.--a fairly normal teenage girl, basically--once she gets to know somebody. she's just been burned a lot, both by humans and fellow mutants (she isn't exactly popular, even by the standards of a school where people can light shit on fire), and she's not currently in a great place mentally. so there are honestly a lot of ways CR can go! they just might be longterm goals.
DESIRED CR: all the cr? all the cr. i love everything going on so far! but i'd like her to get more comfortable with others, enough so that her personality comes out from under everything else. whether that develops into friendship or rivalry (or a friendly rivalry), i'm not super worried about the deets, haha. ruth is stubborn, but she doesn't tend to hold grudges (her boyfriend took her to the moon to show her a guy he killed and she forgave him????), so honestly, cr can really go all over the place and still end up someplace interesting.
ETC: FIRST OF ALL: it's important to know that ruth's character involves upsetting subject matter (child abuse, murder, mental illness, trauma, suicide), so if you want to avoid engaging with any/all of that, i've got a permissions/opt-out post. please also use it if you want to clarify anything about her powers and how they'd work in a thread/with a character/etc.!
