OOC INFORMATION

NAME: Ari
CONTACT: arii#6412 | cadiai
ABOUT YOU: I like sportz and I don't care who knows. Banging this out during the first intermission of Canada vs. USA and before Keegan Messing's short program. Ann-Renée Desbiens is currently a queen and so is Brianne Jenner. I have accepted I am not getting a proper night's sleep again until the 21st. Also all Lord & Miller content. That's about it for the moment.

IC INFORMATION

CHARACTER NAME: Amos Burton
CANON: The Expanse
SIGN: The Lovers
FACTION: Solvunn

CHARACTER INFORMATION: Amos is a spaceship mechanic from sometime in the 2350s and this is the most time he's spent on a planet since his childhood. Speaking of, it was an incredibly traumatic one that left him with a permanently broken moral compass. He doesn't like that about himself, and tries to fix it by attaching himself to people he perceives as good and righteous. He's got a small list in-game but we aren't at "you are my entire conscience" levels with anyone yet.
CR YOU WANT: People to make Amos get involved with the plot, either through making him actually acknowledge he has a place in this world and should do something about it or by antagonizing him. I'd love for him to be the target of manipulation, really.
Also, Amos has a very simplistic view of other people: there are bad ones, ones you follow, ones you protect. All are good.
CR YOU DON'T WANT: No romance.
PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Alright so, if you read any previous CR meme comments of mine,, ignore them I encountered a hiccup and have pivoted. I would like to get Amos into the Free Cities at some point but he's got no reason to leave Solvunn at the moment so he's sticking around there (and I am interested in expanding his Solvunn CR, it's been a couple of months...)

Other than that, the main thing I want is for Amos to be challenged in both personal and worldly ways:
- Personal would be like... he's pretty sure he's a bad person (see: simplistic view of people) and while he has a point there, he's not as bad as he thinks he is. He's still kinda bad though. I'm into exploring that grey area where he resides.
- Worldly being that he's not into politics at all, but here, he's in a position where he could have a substantial impact on the world — either by the nature of PCs here, the part where his technological knowledge dwarfs the entire setting, or the fact that he's capable of immense violence and will not have any regrets about it — and he's refused to acknowledge that, mostly sequestering himself away from, well, almost everything. So I'd love to have him have to deal with not being allowed to do that anymore. I've had him start to get engaged by poking around a little but it's just a baby step, really, and he does need a bit more of a push...

ANYTHING ELSE?:

[priestified]

Would you be down for having these two meet in the horizon this month?

[baltimores]

Yes!! Amos' inbox doubles up as a little explainer for his Horizon domain, if you want to drop me a starter there (I figure it's probably space-y enough to get Maxwell's attention because... it literally just is space haha), or if you've got anywhere for me to hit you up I could do that too!

[priestified]

Ohh yes that's a great idea, I'll hit you up there!

[baltimores]

Perfect! Feel free to sauce me a follow on plurk or hit me up on disco if that makes things easier for you too~

[hashtagbrave]

Hey! Want to keep/continue the CR from the TDM?

[baltimores]

Hard yes, I love that thread and this cr. These two actually have the potential to work so well together because while Amos is messed up he isn't power hungry or selfish (we actually had a Homelander early on in the game and he and Amos hated each other/already tried to kill each other once so, lmao), and he isn't optimistic/idealistic but he wishes he could be. I can see some, like, accidentally pushing each other to be better between these two, while being able to tolerate their low points at the same time.

tl;dr this is awesome please yes I'm so delighted Maeve is here

Also - Amos would absolutely be her casual fuck buddy if you're down for that off-screen cr (I can't write smut, alas), he uses sex as stress relief a lot. And he's got a pretty keen sense there's no chance of anyone catching feelings so, A+ there. Just as long as they're equal amounts of sober and/or drunk so there's no consent issues there (i.e. he'd never go for it in the current TDM thread, but you know... later, if she/you wanted).

[hashtagbrave]

Awesome! That sounds like a lot of good potential. We could maybe wrap up her passing out on his bed in the TDM and then do a 'later that day or week' log for when she's less stumbling.

And yes, off screen sex buddies is good with me! Not much of a smut writer myself, and him being right above the bar just makes life easier.

[baltimores]

Yes, that sounds perfect to me! "Oh hi, you're sober-ish now. Sorry about that. What's up?"

And awesome, love that handwaved CR. I'm playing it a bit fast and loose with Amos right now (he normally lives out in the Tertiary Settlement but due to aforementioned trying-to-get-involved-with-plot I have him temporarily relocated to the Primary) but... yeah, living right above a bar is perfect for him, he'll be sticking around there for the near future for sure, haha.

I saw in your post you don't really plurk anymore but as it so happens I also very much prefer disco for one-on-one plotting/cr stuff so feel free to hit me up there whenever, too~
