PLAYER: Throck (ey/em/eir) CONTACT:throckmorton, PM, and cuzthrockmorton @ discord, feel free to add me ABOUT YOU: Sup, I'm radically skateboarding in after being enabled by a few people and after figuring out I know a bunch of folks here. I work as a pharmacy tech in a hospital, and went to school for writing, but am also going back to school for geoscience. I'm hoarding degrees in a pile like a dargon. I would like to do some science and write on the side.
I guess a cool fact about me is I've road tripped cross country through the US, the Canadian rockies, and Alaska, lived in AK a while and have done a lot of amateur nature photography. When money is less tight I wanna finally invest in a really good camera. I sometimes share pics of Various Places on plurk.
I'm into comics, animation, and the usual genre hodge podge of sci fi, fantasy, and horror. Big fan of Star Trek (love Lower Decks rn), LotR, Final Space, Love Death and Robots, Arcane, and sci fi horror like Aliens and the Thing. If you want zombie fiction recs, despite the years of inundation, hmu, I was obsessed for a while.
I like long prose tags but also talking heads and boomeranging. It's all good. I'm mostly afternoon and evenings PST.
CHARACTER: Little Cato is from Final Space, a dramedy space adventure about a ragtag crew of misfits facing dire circumstances and constantly failing to stop the end of the universe. CHARACTER INFO: Little Cato is a Ventrexian, an alien that only coincidentally resembles an Earth cat in many ways. He's rambunctious, thrill-seeking, tough, and sometimes goofy. Despite being a little too murder-happy and inured to violence, he's a mostly good-natured kid, but it's in spite of a lot of suffering due to being the personal hackey sack of an interplanetary dictator for a while, who kept trying to take everything from him. (I have an opt-out for some of the more serious cw's in his journal as the show wasn't shy about stuff like child murder, child abuse, etc.) He also spent 60 years alone in a shard of frozen time, in a slowly rusting decrepit section of his crew's ship. He went entirely insane there.
(He's better now, though.) He's simultaneously 14 and 74. Though he reverted back to a fourteen-year-old mindset and development and reoriented to that place in time, especially since losing it meant he didn't really mature, he still has deeply, deeply repressed memories of 60 years of madness alone.
Basically he's got the energy and sweet nature of a normal kid his age, with a fighty, bitey, slightly ruthless, and sometimes deeply sad and traumatized undercurrent.
I'd like to have him start to mature and come into his own, embracing an acceptance of the darkness that lies ahead in his world even if it survives the challenges in game. And an acceptance of the responsibility that he needs to embrace - he's secretly the rightful king of his planet and his people need to be led out of the dark of their endless warfare and directed at the true enemies of their universe. It seems like a lot of characters in the game have the kind of nature that might help urge that along, and in turn he's got a lot of fierce loyalty, kindness, and a surprising edge of insight sometimes to give in exchange.
Also after a lifetime of being like the "Father, I crave violence" meme and doing a lot of murder, he's trying to be slightly less murder-ey. A friend of his that he lost taught him that being a warrior doesn't have to mean being a killer, and he's recognizing maybe his father - a man who lied to him his whole life - raised him slightly wrong. I'm interested in things that nudge him in either direction: better or worse. PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I'm interested in horror, mystery, and the main plot with Echo. Little Cato's in a unique position of feeling like his world might be doomed by the narrative no matter what, which would make him not as timid about questioning the nature of the competition. He'd also be curious about the world outside the bubble and if any secrets are to be found there. He's not keen on being imprisoned again - even if it's a cozy open-air one. OTHER: here is some of my photos!
