ABOUT YOU: I love possums. One of the best marsupials out there. Enjoy how their mouths get so big. In terms of fandom, I dabble in most superhero canons, had a deep Batman comics phase, enjoy science fiction generally, and the recent release of the latest instalment in the Dune movie adaptation living up to my childhood dreams rewired parts of my brain. My pace varies but I like boomeranging when things line up that way, and I try to match length of tags in threads. A fun fact about me is that I'm very fond of spreadsheets for real.

CHARACTER: Francis 'Trickster' Krouse, Worm
CHARACTER INFO: Krouse will start off not being too invested in the fate of the world he was brought from, because it's not the world he considers actually his own. When he figures out it's not clear which world they're representing, he'll be reconsidering that position. For now, his major motivation will be attempting to figure out how to use this new setting to his advantage - he has some personal goals in mind.

He's also lying extensively about himself to start off with. His current cover story is that he was in prison for stealing a car, which is technically one of the crimes he did commit, but not actually the reason he ended up there. In reality, Krouse was a supervillain mercenary whose career ended in spectacular and tragic fashion. He's not looking to pick that life back up here, and would prefer to keep a low profile and get along, but there's probably going to be some friction when it comes to how he tends to approach problem solving with a certain degree of 'practical ruthlessness'.

CR NOTES: I'm interested in building on the positive starts he's made with people on the TDM and playing out the gradual reveal of what's actually going on with him. Krouse is dealing with the aftermath of some significant personal losses, so he'll be leery of getting too attached to anyone new, but he's lonely enough that it'll be hard for him to avoid it. He's often annoying on purpose, so I'm also open to exploring more friction-based relationships with him - Krouse is probably a good petty sniping partner.

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: To start off with, I'm most interested in getting Krouse to a point where he buys into the game's world saving premise fully. Events that involve dealing with the ramifications of what's going on here will probably be helpful for that, as will building his attachments to other people who do care about what happens to the worlds they come from. Multiverses are also a significant part of his canon and his backstory specifically, so I'm keen on exploring things related to that.
