Jack Townsend

IC INFORMATION


CHARACTER NAME: Jack Townsend
CANON: Tales from the Gas Station
SIGN: The Moon
FACTION: Thorne

CHARACTER INFORMATION: Jack is the main protagonist of a horror-comedy book/audiobook series sort of in a similar wheelhouse to Welcome to Nightvale or John Dies At The End. He's a Daria-level apathetic, comedically unfazed gas station worker slash writer, who experiences insane shit and then publishes accounts of that shit first-person in a blog. He is Stressed, Depressed, and Brain Damaged. He's also missing a leg and a finger, because he does not have protagonist-immunity to the dangers of his life. He's also a walking cosmic battery full of a thousand lifetimes of void-rift energy and the perfect vessel for gods/demigods/eldritch beings, so feel free to notice that.

CR YOU WANT:
-Found family! He's a product of the foster care system with a history of neglect and abuse, so family's never been something he's actually... had.
-Friends! As an introverted nerd, he's had like. Three and a half friends his entire life, and one of them kind of forgot him :(
-Enemies! And by enemies, I mean like... Seinfeld-Newman shitposty rivalry more than anything probably, but he does have an arch-nemesis sociopath stalker so that wouldn't be entirely new either
-Mages/supernatural beings who notice that he's a reality-bending freak of nature full of exploitable void-rift energy

CR YOU DON'T WANT:
-He already has a girlfriend named Sabine, and he will never love anyone more than her. One-sided romantic subplots or one-off situations are still on the table with good communication between us and the Sabine player!

PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:
-Jack has a few powers that might make for neat thread hooks. He has the ability (which he can't really control) to steal and live out memories of the people he's around first-person, as though he lived it himself. I'd love to have him accidentally live your character's craziest memories and then make uncomfortable commentary on it.
-People who want to use his void-rift power shit.
-Writing pals, book club pals, people who love to read or other authors he can talk shop with.
-Honestly just a lot of completely absurd shitposting threads where wacky, insane shit happens.
-Multi-person threads with his eldritch inhuman girlfriend involved.
-I don't know man, everything, come at me.
