DEUS EX MACHINA PERSONNEL FORM

The Hunter
Name: Lawrence Weiman
Nicknames: Lawr, Ian, Ian the Magnificent
Gender: Male
Age: 39


Category: Death - With a lifetime of conning other people and wheeling dealing money from them, Lawrence has the makings of a death hunter.


The Weapon
Name: Butch
Nicknames: None he remembers.
Type of Weapon: Claw gauntlets.

Gender: Male

Personalities:

Lawrence – Lawr's mannerisms are reminiscent of a slightly mad parrot and his outward personality appears to be much the same way. All at once enthusiastic and friendly there are some hints he's not sure whether he wants to believe his own psychic persona instead of his true personality beneath. There is something decidedly manic about the man, as if he has to keep constantly moving or fall behind in some wild race through life and this manic edge can at times edge into the intimidating in its intensity. He is mistrustful of people in general thanks to treating them in general as marks for scamming but feels he understands creatures and animals piercingly (he often does not). He has an enormous ego and has no issues about taking from people what they do not have the will power to cling onto.

Butch – Butch is a rather gruff and opinionated individual who has little tolerance for weakness or hesitance, very bull headed and not very bright. He is far from educated and thinks that lawr's methods and things he believes in are completely stupid.

Why did your human character choose to become a Hunter?
A con artist most of his life, Lawr specialised in fraud as a teenager in Britain, helping to run pyramid schemes, distribute mailing lists to the elderly, scam clothing collections and ran strings and strings of dissolved businesses. It was only when the pincers of fraud detection services were closing in on him in his late twenties that he made a break for the states on a false passport and vanished into the system. There he set up a small but fast earning pet psychic business on the back of the ill gotten gains made in the UK.

Then Wonder Park happened.

After drawing the Tower tarot card from his deck for the trip he realised things were probably not going to be ideal. They weren't. Almost everyone died, but whether through sheer dumb luck or his good luck charms actually functioning he made it to the hunter boat, watched the fireworks and was duly podded. Deus know his name.

Weapon Ability
The Mind – Clicker Training – Strikes with increased accuracy.

Physical Description: Lawr is tall and lanky, not much fat on his bones at all, not young, not remarkable at all, much of his youth depended on being unremarkable when he needed to be, even his wild hair able to be combed out neatly when it had to be. It helped to be selectively memorable.

Eye Colour: Strikingly pale blue
Hair Colour/Style: White blonde, wild and messy.
Skin Colour: White
Clothing Style/Colours: His scarf is purple, and he dresses in a loose pink shirt that looks like a reject from a 70s glam rock band, left open to reveal a chest bristling with hair, over which is sprawled an absurd number of charm necklaces, gems, wardstone pendants and all other manner of knicknacks. On his wrists he wears what has to be hundreds of jangling gold, silver and what he assures are unobtainium bracelets and every dramatic wave of his hands is heralded by a clatter of metal. He wears a sarong in lieu of trousers and a pair of woefully impractical sandals.

There aren't any things to be super concerned over when it comes to approval- The only one I can see would just be how 'the mind' works. Weapons can't directly tamper with a hunter's mind. Simple change to that the arrow blinds or shocks an opponent might be better. It lowers opponent accuracy rather than raise your own.
My only input otherwise would just be to possibly tone down the weapon appearance, but idk if that ref is more showing the theme base. If not, its really ornate for starting up, so how it would grow/get more ornate is difficult.

THE REST is input/thoughts
-His personality lends well to the fact he's a self invested character, but a lot of it is focused only on how he works with himself, how he is a scholar. Try to see if you can expand on how he interacts with people. IE what makes him open up to others aside from 'time', what riles him and how does he deal with that anger both with himself and others, how does he work in a team, when does he prefer to, how does he deal with conflicts, etc. You have some information about how he interacts with others, but it's overshadowed and almost negated by how much emphasis is placed on him being without.

This is in both personality and history but- what exactly did he do? You mention research so I assume he was in college. But for what? Internship at what for what? What was his job- why was he called out to a local farm? Did he only recently begin to 'see' halloweeners? Since you mention these facts and their relevance, just clarify what they are.
