CHARACTER. NAME: ellie [last name] CANON: the last of us LANGUAGE: english, expletive dlc TL;DR: click for fullsize.
RUNDOWN: ellie's been getting her bearings a little faster than she really should since she's from a survival(ist?) horror setting. autres pays, autre merde. hit her up at the log, or her post / log about the ruins, or the psychic freakout.
OFFERED CR:
I'M A SURVIVOR: Ellie is a teenage paranoid survivalist from a world of paranoid survivalists. If you get her approval high enough, she's happy to teach your character to hunt, skin, cook and eat wild animals, use a recursive bow, make arrows, make bombs, make molotov cocktails, etc.
CALLOUTS: Ellie is also good as that weird teenage girl who calls you on your shit, because that's basically her role in the first half of the game. if she gets to know your character well enough, she will call bull if bull is present. however, this is rp and the novelty of my character always being right is long dead; this goes both ways. please call her out if your character would; she is hiding some deep shit (mostly about herself, mostly stuff no one would really care about, but, yknow, teenagers) and is generally just. strange.
DID I MENTION STRANGE: to anyone with eyes (sorry, ruth), ellie is clearly severely fucked up emotionally, and it shows. you want that weird kid who says unexpectedly morbid shit at cheery times, who says unexpectedly cheery shit at morbid times, and generally is just a little... off? that's her.
TINY FRIEND: Also, she's a teenager. she needs friends her age. she will happily accept adults who are not her age. do you want to add a teenager to your party?
YOU'RE AWESOME: are you from a primarily sf/f canon? ellie will gush and ask you questions. she loves genre novels. like a lot.
DESIRED CR:
FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC: Ellie is incredibly lonely and really needs some people to hang her stars around. It'd be cool (and probably healthier for her emotionally) if those people were her age but YOU KNOW, BEGGARS AND CHOOSERS. She gets along weirdly well with military types, older men / women who have Done And Seen Horrible Things, etc. It's almost like she has experience with those types...
POP CULTURE SENSEI: Ellie is secretly obsessed with the 'old world' before the fungal zombie plague that Ruined Everything (spoilers for a game from 2013), and is dying to know more about it. this ranges everything, from military history to pop songs. she'll find some stuff more interesting than others, of course, but she's deathly curious. she just hasn't really had time to ask around, especially since, people being from different dimensions and shit, she's not sure what 'counts'.
BOOK CLUB: ellie loves books by like a lot. they're the primary form of entertainment in her world, since theres no tv or internet or elec...tricity.... yay. anywho, in this place, none of the books have FREAKING WORDS IN THEM (as she's put it). she's started journaling instead, since like look at this plethora of blank pages, and will probably encourage others to do so and 'leave a record'. look, she's a video game character; it's what they do.
FINAL FANTASY: MORBID CHILDREN: Ellie is becoming increasingly curious about funerals and how to mourn / grieve for the dead. she's... never been allowed to do that, so this isn't a goth phase so much as a genuine desire to be allowed to feel emotional catharsis, remember and honor the dead. of course some people are going to be freaked out by that when she asks them how they want their funeral to go, or tells them her funerary plans, but if your character would respond well and support her, that'd be cool.
NEGATIVELY SPEAKING: people who dont respect boundaries. people who don't tell the truth. people who enjoy violence / killing. people who are violent without being provoked. people who hide things or keep things back. people who make decisions for her. people who don't take her paranoia seriously. people who undermine her survival strategies. people who just catch her in a bad mood that day. come 2 me.
ETC:
last cr meme, I wrote about my deep desire not to have ellie be 'adopted' into a family unit, but after playing her a month in game, i'd like to edit that statement. ellie gravitates toward certain people, and they may be older than her; it's clearly a pattern and it'd ooc of me to ignore it. however, she's at least consciously aware, due to Joel Trauma, that being someones 'replacement daughter' is bad news.
as such, i am completely okay with your character trying to adopt ellie if they're the adopting type. however, she'll chafe against The Actual Familial Words, she'll chafe against being told what to do, and she'll be genuinely conflicted about whether to trust your character at all. she'll be in constant low level turmoil and self doubt.
Essentially, this is a totally acceptable route to take and I wanna make that clear, but it's gonna be less 'leave it to beaver' found family and more 'leave it to beaver as directed by werner herzog' found family.
