[Spectral Dragon]

Here's my character! Let me know if anything needs changing, I THINK he's not overpowered or anything.

<spoiler=Character>

Name: Owen Carrick

Age: 28

Height: 170 cm/5'6''

Eye Color: Bright green.

Hair: Fairly long black, messy hair.

Clothing: Usually wears a long trenchcoat, buttondown shirt, jeans, and plain black shoes. Also wears his lucky trilby whenever he gets the chance.

Miscellaneous Appearance Descriptors: Has got glasses, not helpless without them, but no sharpshooter either, looks really young and therefore always gets ID'd, and has a smile that reaches from ear to ear. Really thin, and usually pale, as he seems to have a constant cold. Pretty poor balance, and a bad runner at long distances.

Personality: Optimistic, and really curious. He doesn't drink, and likes to plan ahead for everything.

Occupation: Newly graduated psychologist, occasionally works with previously low-level SCP personel who have had their memory wiped and need to readjust to society.

Abilities: - Crazy prepared, always carries a bunch of small, potentially useful stuff in his many pockets. Usually not good in an emergency, but he likes to fidget with them.
- keeps his cool, and can improvise new plans on the spot if necessary. He just doesn't panic.
- good memory, spends his time making mental maps out of most areas he visits, can remember 20-number sequences after staring at them for 20 seconds, notices straight away if anything's different in a familiar place.

Items:
Fancy trilby
Small LED flashlight
Expandable umbrella
Small towel
Swiss army knife (Useful there - knife, screwdriver, tweezers. NOT a good weapon)
Pocket sized, expandable backpack
Semicircular protractor
Mechanical pencil, eraser and small notepad about half full
Laserpointer
Pocket calculator
Wallet with a few bills in it, credit card, driver's license, coins, and a condom
Keys to apartment and bike lock
Cellphone, recently charged
Music player filled with music of various genres, 2 hours of battery left, in-ear headphones
Kindle - reading pad, leather bound, with a small detachable light
Leather gloves
Red rear light to a bike
Swedish Firesteel
Several paper clips and bobby pins
100 dollar(/50 pound/50 euro depending on country) note in shoe
Fold-up map of center of town

(Keeps shoulderbag in his apartment containing
sleeping bag,
water bottle,
laptop and charger,
camera,
medical kit,
large flashlight,
wrench, assuming he's planning to be gone for more than 2 days, assuming it's relevant enough to return to apartment.)


Fears:
REALLY doesn't like flying bugs and animals, apart from maybe pigeons. Doesn't like sudden changes in the environment, like the light going out, or doors locking, or big changes compared to his mindmaps. It took him weeks to adjust when he came to work and his desk was on a different side of the room.

Background:
Grew up in a rural area in eastern Scotland, and spent a lot of his childhood picking things apart, and putting them back together again. He has developed a good memory, and a fear of flying things, after falling down into a cavern when he was a child, and got lost there, trying to find his way out for over an hour, while disturbing the population of bats living there. At age 14 he disassembled two toasters, then put them back together. One exploded without even being plugged in. He still uses the other one. His curiosity is what got him into psychology to begin with. He wanted a challenge, so he wanted to be able to pick apart the human mind as easily as a toaster. So far, none of his patients have exploded.

Edits: Simply clearing up a bit, making it more overviewable, and adding forgotten items it makes sense for my character to carry.

 

[Froggy Slayer]

Wow! Thanks for all the interest guys. I'll put up the intro soon, I've just had quite a lot of work to do this week so it slipped my mind.

Looks pretty cool

Although, I would like to know where this takes place.

A large city and the surrounding countryside. I don't know exactly which one; I'd prefer to do Chicago but since I'm a Brit I'm thinking that I might get some facts wrong about it so it may be something like London.

 

[Froggy Slayer]

I've been wondering, shouldn't we have some kind of item list as well? So that no one can suddenly pull out a knife or gun when convenient?

Just a suggestion.

That probably would be a good idea. You can edit it if you lose or gain an item.

Ok, should we edit it into the character info or write it somewhere else? I assume I'm not the only one that should write this kinda list, considering that would kind of defeat the purpose.

I've edited it into the info now, I do believe all is plausible, but if there's any problem, please tell me.

 

[oversizedant]

Fears- People knowing what he does/ Seeing him for what he is, Jail/ Being locked in a room he can't break out of, the mob, and his mother.

I was also thinking as an interesting twist, to go along with his first fear, he is comfortable in complete darkness, but becomes uneasy in bright light.

"Bright light, bright light!"

Nah, sorry. Do you mean like in a psychological way, as if he feels that bright light reveals that which he tries to hide? Or is it simply because people see him better then?

His superiors transferred him to (current location) in order to get rid of him.

As a child his first house burned down in the night. He also has a fear of mirrors as he was a child at his grandmothers house after the fire and saw something in a mirror that still bothers him. He was also attacked by an entity at his grandma's house in the basement and was scarred emotionally and physically by it.

Small LED Flashlight that can be cranked if low on power.
Also has a pair of Walkie Talkies that are somewhat expensive. They run on AA batteries and he brought spares.

Fears- People knowing what he does/ Seeing him for what he is, Jail/ Being locked in a room he can't break out of, the mob, and his mother.

I was also thinking as an interesting twist, to go along with his first fear, he is comfortable in complete darkness, but becomes uneasy in bright light.

"Bright light, bright light!"

Nah, sorry. Do you mean like in a psychological way, as if he feels that bright light reveals that which he tries to hide? Or is it simply because people see him better then?

In a psycological way, not just because he can be seen better

Okay, what I meant was if he fears bright light alone, or if there's people around, (I suck at explaining but I guess that answers it.
Interesting. Quite different from a fear of darkness, and really unusual. I like it!

 

[James Joseph Emerald]

Hopefully he works. Lemme know.

If this is set in London, your character is committing a felony offence by carrying around bladed weapons without lawful reason to do so (and there is pretty much no legally acceptable reason to carry them in public).

My character would too actually, unless she's an Authorised Firearms Officer (if this is set in London, I'll probably change her background a bit).

I'm fairly certain that it wont matter much when the creepy stuff starts happening.
