First Impressions

CURRENT CASUAL OUTFIT: White T-shirt and generic jeans. Sunglasses.
EXECUTOR OUTFIT: Check this OUT; source
EXECUTOR WEAPON: Caledscratch. Caledscratch cycles through its own timeline to points when it was broken, unbroken, old and rusted, recently forged, etc.
EXECUTOR MARK: Two simplified/stylized interlocking clockwork gears in the center of his palm. When he uses Time-related powers, they might spin.

At 5'10" and 150 pounds, Dave's both tall and lanky for his age, with the sort of gangly elbowiness that shows he's still growing. This is because his genetic father is the son of Slenderman. You won't really find much muscle definition to speak of, since he's spent the last three years of his life dicking around on a meteor instead of keeping up with his training. He slouches constantly and, if he isn't using his hands for anything, they are almost always in his pockets. He bears swordsman's calluses and a few very faint scars on his hands and arms, the sort a guy who fights with a sword might get sparring with a guy who fights with a sickle.

Dave has sort of a narrow face that's just starting to lose the last of the baby fat that gentled the lines, so you could say he's in transition from looking a lot like his mom to looking more like his dad. The impression is still slender rather than angular.

He's super pale on account of absorbing literally no sunlight for the last three years, with the sort of translucence that both blushes and bruises easily. It seems he may have used to freckle, but the evidence faded away a long time ago. His short, flyaway hair is also extremely fair, almost platinum blond. His eyes are usually completely obscured by David Starsky's aviators from the actual Starsky and Hutch movie set. Behind the shades, his irises are bright red. His eyebrows are a bit thicker and darker than the rest of his hair would suggest.

He tends not to emote much. Though Dave sometimes uses his hands to talk, he doesn't put much energy into his arms, and where some people might convey things through body language and the set of shoulders, he'll just tilt or bob his head.

Dave also has a bad habit of forgetting eye contact and talking to people while very obviously doing other things. This is likely a holdover from the days when most of his conversations took place over instant messaging clients so that he could multitask while chatting. It makes him seem really distractable. And, well. That's fair.

AURAL

Dave is canonically known both to mumble and to talk to himself both in and without company. Even when he's not mumbling incoherently about trolls and coffee, there's a quiet, steady sound to his conversation that doesn't demand anyone's attention. I'd put him in the second tenor range: sort of a medium, warm kind of voice that sounds just a little rough, like he's always just woken up. He's also got a bit of a Southern drawl, but only a slight one, since growing up in a big city tends to weaken regional dialects.

When he laughs, he often does so without any actual voice to it, just the breathy noise of his chuckling.

When speaking with adults over 30, Dave tends to be a little quieter and more reserved, as if approaching a strange and potentially explosive situation in a language in which he's only half-fluent.

OTHER

Dave smells like cotton, apple juice, and pencil shavings, and he always feels warm.

Powers & Abilities

    ✦ Powers:

    REWIND ⏪: Starter power. Clocks can reverse time up to an hour (if that seems fair) on any one object--no Spectres or Eidolons, animals, Revenants, or anything that moves by its own will. Also does not work on Executors' summoned weapons. Rewind only affects state and not location--if he used it on a baseball lobbed at his head, the baseball would keep sailing and clock him in the face, it would just be like 1-59 minutes newer.

    ✦ Abilities: -1 Endurance, +1 Movement

Inventory & Memoria

    ✦ YEET: Clocks remembers entering somewhere and recognizing his own bloody and gruesomely abandoned body--though he can't visualize the exact details, like what he was wearing or even how old he was. That's probably for the best; it's like, even without the amnesia, his brain shies away from the image. He does, however, know it was him. He then had to haul it unceremoniously to and out a window, where it tumbled down into... something. The memory ends on a highly-defined image of his own lifeless blood on his hands, as if he then looked at them for a long time.

    ✦ ALCEA: 0

PERMISSIONS


[OOC]:
Backtagging: Yes.
Threadhopping: Heck yes.
Fourthwalling: Unlikely, but sure, if you want?
Offensive subjects: No objections OOCly!

[IC]:
Touching this character: He probably won't let anyone but Meridiana touch him for a longo time; if he's initiated contact first, though, chances are he's probably okay with it.
Kissing this character: Yeah no don't even try
Flirting with this character: You can but he's
Fighting with this character: Talk with me ([plurk.com profile] asherdashery)! I am not very good at threading fights so I'd like to have an idea what will go down.
Injuring this character: Talk with me, I will almost definitely say yes.
Killing this character: If you want to really upset a sweet Victorian lady... But also, talk with me.
Using telepathy/mind-reading: Absolutely! Dave is pretty much an open book; he has no mental shielding to speak of and no experience masking his emotions in any way that counts. Let me know if you need to know what he's thinking.

ABOUT THE FOURTH WALL


Dave is every inch a pop culture gourmet, so chances are, if your character's canon was live on pre-2009 Earth, there's a chance he's heard of it. There's also a chance he's met other members of your character's canon through his connections with [community profile] danganroleplay.

My default state is to keep him from mentioning those things, so if you're worried and don't want him to bring somethng up, I gotcha covered. If you're okay, though, with his knowing and/or mentioning your character's canon as a fictional entity or another world he may have come in contact with at some point, please let me know by filling out the little form at the bottom of this section!

Also, due to Dave's background and his subsequent stay in Dangan Roleplay, triggering content may arise in conversations with him. Such topics include child abuse, child death, murder, and manipulation, among others. You can opt out of any or all such topics below. Comments are screened.

Dave also texts like this with no goddamn punctuation. If you'd prefer not to deal with his walls o' cherry courier, let me know with the form! You can also comment here if you'd prefer I didn't thread with you at all for any or no reason. No hard feelings.

[There's a bright little bird...lizard thing minding its own business on a branch, cleaning its feathers and looking around with puzzled curiosity. The owner of the PokéGear sets it standing in the fork of the tree and then starts to creep up the branch with hands and knees, trying to keep his breath quiet. He's a kid, small, small enough for the branch to hold his weight, but it dips and the Archen notices him. As one, they freeze, and then both leap at once, the Archen away and the boy towards it, in a crush of squawking and leaves and confusion.

The PokéGear falls, too, thudding to the grass amid the cries of Pokémon, and it's hard to tell what's happened for a minute until a Gallade comes to pick it up. He's balancing a four-year-old blond boy on his hip while a Togetic hovers in dismay, everyone dusty from the fall, but the kid squirms in the Gallade's hold and beams without smiling from behind his very familiar shades. Proud and apparently unhurt, Dave holds up a PokéBall towards the 'Gear.]


I caughted it.

[Wart the Gallade turns the camera to his own desperate, exasperated, bewildered face.]

Help me.

((Kiddo Dave replies will come from [personal profile] knightoftimeout!))
callbacks: (long shadows)
[You'd think Dave would have learned his lesson about anonymity, but maybe learning doesn't stick so well at ass in the morning when he can't sleep. At least it doesn't seem like he's really trying to mask his identity, here. It's just...a plausible deniability thing, maybe. Probably, given the content of his message.]

[The video starts on an unsure-looking Kirlia. He starts to edge away, but Dave--apparently behind the camera--speaks.]

Naw, go ahead, dude. C'mon. Don't be shy.

[The Kirlia sighs, extremely put upon, and then ballet-toes back into place. There's a Dawn Stone on the floor nearby; the Kirlia bends primly at the waist to pick it up, and:

Presto.

Wart the Gallade examines his arm-blades for a moment, then shoots Dave a look as if to say, "If we're quite done now." Dave chuckles quietly.]


Yeah, yeah, thanks for humoring me, bro. The moment has been secured for posterity. Duty discharged. [The relief on the Gallade's face is palpable before Dave turns the camera towards his own movie star mug. Hello, Johto.]

So, hey. I get that baby's first evolution is probably ancient headwear for most of you, but he's the first guy I got all the way to his final form. That's worth some kind of jokey home video.

[Yeah, because he's obviously being ironic about this. He's not Proud Dadding all over his starter, no sirree.]

Anyway, I've been hearing about a bunch of different evolutionary paths our Poképals can take, and, I dunno. I'm curious, I guess. If you ever made a choice like that, what made you pick one way or the other?
callbacks: (i got this for you)
[Cleared font formatting, check. Autocorrect, check. Masked I.D., triple check. Dave's been wrestling with this question for over a week, and he's no closer to an answer than he was eight days ago. No closer than he was three years ago.

Where's Dear Abby when you need advice?]


Have you ever been in a situation
Where you knew something somebody else didn't
And you weren't sure if you should tell them or not
Like you knew that if they found out they'd be really upset but there's also nothing they could do about it
And you don't want them to blame themselves
Or
Get mad at you
But pretending it didn't happen feels
I don't know
A lot like lying I guess
What would you do in those circumstances?

I'm asking for a friend.
callbacks: T1MCO (i am the star)
[Whoa, what's this? A video post from our resident red-texter? The young man in the feed doesn't have much of a facial expression behind his shades, but he seems pleasantly keyed-up somehow, anyway--maybe it's something in the way he bounces as he flops into his chair.]

I was going to ask if there's some kind of survivalist secret Santa for birthdays around here, or if a Pokémon takes care of it. Like, maybe there's just a widespread anonymous cultural practice of delivering rope and hardtack to someone's door on the anniversary of their exiting utero.

[The corner of his mouth slides up a bit.]

But then I discovered the most important item I've yet received here in Pokéworld. Ladies and gentlemen...

[He turns the camera to reveal a Ralts in a scarf probably twice as long as it is tall. It's holding what looks like the kind of cheap wind-up Electabuzz toy you'd find at the bottom of a child's fast food box.]

The Happiny MealTM toy.

[Dave is so stoked. The Ralts, more bemused than anything else, winds it up and seems surprised when it rattles across the desk. It crouches to watch the toy more closely as Dave pulls the view back to himself, still practically bursting (you know, for him) with ironic amusement.]

Anyway, since I've got all this kit now, does anyone in the Violet City neck of the woods want to go check out those ruins? I know it's basically freezing and all, but they're not supposed to be too far out, and. [He shrugs.] They sound all right.

[Meaning he really, really wants to go see them, and it is his birthday.]
