Oct. 4th, 2022 09:57 pmSpoilers: I am playing one of two protagonists from a horror mystery podcast and as a result there's going to be various spoilers for season one of Malevolent in my tags. I'll keep it as generic as possible, but the clues will be there nonetheless haha. oh my god this is so hard. I'm sorry, I'm sorry this guy is a walking spoiler I'm so sorry it's going to just be unavoidable sometimes I'm so sorry-
In brief:
John Doe here is a disembodied voice given form. Usually he's trapped in the head of some guy named Arthur Lester, but for game purposes he's free right now. He got trapped after some funny business with a book happened while he was trying to get back to our world from some place called the Dark World, and anything more than that is Malevolent spoilers.
Speaking of which I'm caught up to the latest episode and fuck this podcast for making me cry
John is, well, he's trying to solve the mystery of how he got stuck in that book and then in Arthur, and also he's trying to get his own body (so, I guess mission accomplished in the Come Sail Away setting?), and he's trying not to end up back in the dark world. as the dark world is discussed as someplace things go when they die, this means he's sometimes very cautious and almost paranoid.
To that end, he can be ruthless, but... He's trying. He's sympathetic towards monsters with humanity to them, because he's not sure he himself was something good before the whole book thing.
Yet, he's also an asshole, and like any backseat gamer is frustrated when some people can't follow instructions or make bad choices, Arthur. He seems to have been in that book long enough to have forgotten his manners, so he can be commanding or, if you're in a snitty argument with him, he'll say very hurtful things. It's hard to say how much he means some of the things he's said and how much he was just finding the most hurtful thing he can say to hurt whoever he's arguing with. He wants to be a better person, but he is essentially starting from scratch here. He's trying.
IC
Fighting/wounding: hell yes give it to him
Killing: also hell yes but contact me for best results or else I'll assume we're doing a dance of near-misses
Physical Affection: go ahead and try. no seriously the man has never felt an affectionate touch.
Mind Reading: You're welcome to try, but anything deeper than a surface thought and we're going to have to talk sanity damage lmao. Surface thoughts therefore come with some absolutely bad 'DO NOT DIG DEEPER' vibes.THIS IS NOT A PLACE OF HONOUR
OOC
Backtagging: I'll continue a thread up to a month, then we can work out a way to handwave it!
Reminders: god please my schedule is a mess right now and my inbox is a nightmare
Revisions: if you'd like me to redo a tag, give me the head's up!
Warnings: John is from a horror mystery podcast themed around eldritch horrors, and as such there can be horror elements such as gore and unreality and casual talk of 'madness' in his tags. I'll warn for anything major of course, but bear this in mind.
Also he's kind of an asshole.
