WHAT REMAINS THE SAME:
one (adopted) fat happy Southerner from Georgia (partially raised in Louisiana as well, has family in several states because they breed like rabbits)
has a problem called I care too much; seriously, he'll empathize with just about any problem you tell him and feel obligated to help find a solution
has done a variety of jobs before Ashdown: anything from mowing lawns to helping fix broken washing machines; as such he's got random skill sets and a penchant for knowing random facts about things
NERDY THINGS!!! POP CULTURE REFERENCES!!!!!! Puns.
Dawson's got a bit of a knight paladin streak in him. If he sees someone in trouble, he'll drop what he's doing to go right in and help, nosy or not.
Daws likes to celebrate random holidays and keeps a calendar that lists even the most obscure and unofficial ones
He is the most awkward when it comes to anyone flirting with him regardless of gender, so have at it. Alternatively, him being too nice may come across as flirtatious as well, leading to many hilariously stupid misunderstandings.
WHAT HAS CHANGED:
While the Sweet Spot remains, Dawson no longer works there. He has somehow managed to land a job as a park ranger along with Finn that he's had for about a year and a half now.
Subsequently, he is no longer a car-dweller and has secured himself a home. His van is now a beat up looking truck.
His daughter, Daisy, never existed. This absence has disturbed him greatly despite never having been successful in getting custody of her. This need to care for someone is often displaced and emphasized and clutched at, whatever the other person says.
RPS NEEDED RELATED TO QUESTS:
To Become Were Bear:
An accidental partial transformation into your were's half-form: choose one physical trait. (500 words) (most likely will solo)
A mental or physical change relating to your were animal, whichever you didn't do the first round. (500 words) (most likely will solo)
3 rps about anything To Get Provoker's Necklace:
Additional RP where Daws learns about Other AD
a RP wherein Dawson finds himself in other ashdown and must learn how to shield himself (tag in Whaler for a surprise!) (may do alone but won't mind company!)
a RP with another visitor in other ashdown where Dawson practices shielding (obviously need to wait to do this one but putting it up for reference) |

JACK HAWTHORNPURSUANT PHOTOGRAPHERjournal here (still working on it)
In short, he is:
A giant half-Korean. Seriously, 6'7"??? Why.
Awful at small talk but straightforward with communicating; terrible in casual social environments, but knows his manners
Did not have a childhood in the sense of fun. Most of it was controlled by his parents, which has left him unprepared as an adult in many respects. May or may not get teased for his ineptitude at even the most basic things, like friendship
A graduate in biochemistry for the money/his parents but a photographer at heart; loves to snatch random moments he thinks are meaningful, or that fit his #aesthetic
Loves any and all things regarding the supernatural; still believes he caught a ghost on camera when he was younger and pursues all leads that support his theory about The Other Side Existing Otherbeasts
Terrible at taking care of himself now that he lives in an apartment on his own.
Terrible at making friends.
All in all, just terrible really.
What he's best for:
Glamor shots? Minor photoshopping edits? A little compensation and he probably won't mind helping.
Investigative reporting is something he's interested in. Investigations of most anything, really; he likes learning what he can about what and who he encounters, fancying himself a burgeoning detective. If it involves ghosts or other weird happenings, even better.
I'd put more but he's the worst ok. See below.
Other Plot Hooks:
Pre-existing connections. I'd really love to plot out him knowing some other people through various means, be they friends, enemies, frienemies, one-night stands, exes, what have you. You may know him through the following:
Hawthorn is an old name in Ashdown. His father, Charles Merrimont Hawthorn II, is known as an entrepreneur who likes to keep a finger on the pulse of the city's rising and falling businesses. He's previously donated to charities, but despite the public face, some rumors are abound that he's not the most faithful husband. The name Hawthorn has also been associated with strangely bad luck--for instance, the house Jack grew up in was rebuilt twice over the course of six generations due to fires. It's said some ancestor must have really shat on the family karma.
Jack has been in Ashdown all his life and currently attends Rider-Waite as a graduate in biochem. He may know other people based on the location/classes alone, or through the school paper he works for as a photographer.
He currently works at a convenience store and contributes to several magazines and newspapers that take freelance work.
Haunted places, reported sightings of such and such, rumors of strange noises or figures, graveyards -- he's the weird kid who can often be seen there with his equipment, trying to catch a glimpse of the beyond.
Insert your plot here! Pls. Pls. |
