Do you wanna pet some cute pupperinos?
Or maybe you wanna see what kind of gun those tight jeans are packing?
And quite possibly, you have a desire to hear US moron Marine jokes?

Then Benjamin Travers is your man!

Also available for freak nasty sailboat journeys, erotic book readings, and a damn good time at the gun range








Name: Benjamin Jeremiah Travers
Nicknames: Ben; Sailor Jerry (one that he doesn't much prefer, but given to him by the other prison guards because of his time in the Navy and his tattoos); never, ever, under any circumstances call him BJ
Aliases: None

Age: 36
Date of Birth: January 29th
Bloodtype: A neg
Country of Origin: Rota, Spain
Current Citizenship: American, Spanish

Height: 6'0
Hair: dark blond, faded undercut medium quiff
Eyes: hazel, almond shaped
Body Type: 160 lbs, trim, slightly toned
Distinguishing Features: tattoos on his arms, a couple of scars from being stabbed on his lower stomach

Primary Presentation: Trainer
Secondary Presentation: Striker
Power Analysis: Ben can stop a dog in its tracks with just a small hand gesture, even a dog he's never met before in his life. It amazes people how quickly and easily he's able to train even the most stubborn of dogs to do what he wants. He can feel what a dog is feeling emotionally - joy, fear, anxiety, anger, happiness - and uses that ability to help humans and dogs form a closer bond. Ever since he was a teenager and he first started presenting there hasn't been a dog he couldn't control, yet any other animal still remains a complete mystery to him, save the occasional corvid.

His striker ability is much less pronounced, in that it only affords him a boost in speed, but not strength. Ben doesn't enjoy running for running's sake, but when needed he can cover several miles in less than ten minutes.

Education: high school graduate; associate's degree in seamanship
Employment History: 10 years US Navy, Master At Arms First Class, NEC 2005 Dog Handler; Sergeant on the riot squad for the county prison system
Special Skills: knot tying, handling both pet and working dogs, able to operate a wide variety of boats and ships
Languages: English, Spanish, some German

Hobbies & Interests: Sailing; holding puppy training classes; devouring books, especially those of an erotic nature

Motivation: The prison system bores Ben to tears. The riot squad doesn't get called in as often as people would like to imagine, so his days are filled with leading training sessions and paperwork. He'd much rather go back to the action he saw while in the military.
Personality: Ben was born in Spain, his father in the Navy and doing a tour of duty there. His family moved around often when he was young, a style of life that made it difficult for him to make and keep friends. For his 13th birthday his parents had given him his first dog, and it was a couple of years later that he realised the emotional connection he had to his pet was more than just the normal connection a boy had to his dog.

The summer after high school he enlisted in the Navy, going to C school for Master at Arms. His skills handling dogs quickly shined, and he took the test and was accepted to become a dog handler. During his decade long service, he did three tours at Camp Bucca in Iraq, one of the most notorious prison camps that the US military ran. Daily he was in contact with high-profile terrorist prisoners, daily his life was in danger. On his last tour, while assisting with a prisoner transport, he was stabbed twice in the stomach, and after he healed, the Navy discharged him for medical reasons.

He's a rather quiet man, often preferring the company of his two heelers, Jake, the serious blue, and Mookie, the silly red, over people. His dogs go everywhere with him, at least everywhere they are allowed. Which tends to be most places, as people are often fascinated with how well trained they are, so all he has to do is turn on a little bit of charm to gain permission. When he's not working, he's either holding puppy training classes, reading a book, or out having a beer with friends. He doesn't get to sail as often as he'd like, but when he does it can turn into a multi-day affair where he just allows the water to take him wherever it pleases.

Fashionable, always well put together, a bit hipster-ish, most people wouldn't take him for the type who enjoyed the military life. But love it he does. However, bring up the line "once a marine, always a marine" around him, and his eyes will roll and the scoffing will commence. The whole oohrah brotherhood bullshit annoys the piss out of him, and he's quick to make fun of anyone who used the Navy as a taxi service.

Relationship Status: Single, no intentions of being otherwise
Sexuality: A hole is a hole. It ain't gay underway, and for Ben it ain't gay in port either. Power plays, light bondage, and pain for pleasure are all in his wheelhouse.

Developed Relationships: currently none

Lockepick

Name: Lennart Fredin
Nicknames: Art (Short for Lennart)
Aliases: He's used countless aliases, but favors typically bird based ones (Wren, Magpie, Starling, etc)

Age: 30
Date of Birth: August 23rd
Bloodtype: B+
Country of Origin: Sweden
Current Citizenship: Sweden and American

Height: 5'10"
Hair: Brown undercut, short on top.
Eyes: Green
Body Type: Art's body is lithe more than strong; he's made for speed and flexibility more than brute force.
Distinguishing Features: Art has a small scar in the shape of an 'X' above his right ear; clearly surgical due to its symmerty. Otherwise, Art is always adding some new feature or trait to their body through his Shifting; a new hair color, a tattoo, a piercing, a scar. He claims it's 'endurance' practice for his Shifting.

Primary Presentation: Shifter
Secondary Presentation: Controller
Power Analysis: As a Shifter, Art's power allows him to create new visual and auditory stimuli. New visual stimuli can obscure something, but he can not remove the presence of something (ie: a jacket could be Shifted into a trench coat, but not Shifted into a tank top). This is most effective when it's something plauisble to the target; something they're already expecting or afraid of.

Art is unable to intentionally tap into his Controller powers. It was long believed he was simply an exceptional Shifter or just very lucky. In times of stress, and when Art uses his voice, his Controller powers enhance his Shifter powers, helping 'fill in the gaps' for his illusions, making them more believable and helping elicit the reaction Art is intending with the Shift.

He most commonly uses his powers for misdirection, infiltration, and disguise. His past struggle to overwhelm Baseline has given him a unique 'brute force' application: a burst of light and sound akin to a flashbang. In hand to hand combat, Art utilizes illusions to keep his target on his toes; changing the size/shape of his weapon and blurring his movements.

Education: Home schooled in Sweden, technicaly no GED (or Swedish equivilant).
Employment History: Originally he did contracted jobs for organized crime across the West Coast, but the last seven years have been off the books contract work with multiple security companies, while working primarily with G4S.
Special Skills: Infiltration (B&E or Social Infiltration); Hacking; Baseline Resistance; Demolition; Parkour/Acrobatics; Hand to Hand; Graffiti Art.
Languages: Swedish, English

Hobbies & Interests: Art has plenty of interests, but very few hobbies, which comes from him constantly moving from new experience, sensation, or exposure to the next. He's easily motivated by creature comforts: sex, food, alcohol; but also eager to explore culture, architecture, environments, and nature that he hasn't seen before. He retains little to no knowledge or expertise in them, taking them all in at their face value. Gambling also fits in well with his modus operandi; both small time 'friendly' wagers and the glitter and glow of an actual casino.

Motivation: Lennart's powers developed right around puberty, and his Shifting was immedieately out of control and volatile. After humilating his parents, prominent dignataries, too many times, they decided to put him on a heavy dose of Baseline while also sequestering him at home. The house arrest only made his mental state worse, and his curiousity and imagination just made his Shifting even more out of control. His parents compensated with more and more Baseline injected directly into his brain, and by seventeen years old, his dose was so heavy, Art was almost left in a vegative state.

Lennart's powers kept fighting against it anyway, and when he was nineteen, his powers fully managed to trick his doctors into not realizing they weren't giving him the medicine. Once the Baseline wore off enough, he made his escape. For a week after he left, the doctors and his family still believed they were medicating their son, the Shift burned in so forcibly -- only realizing the difference when the bed was so soaked with Baseline and IV fluid it began to overflow onto the floor.

If asked, Lennart would claim that Merriweather is an oppertunity for excitement and to test his powers -- a constant source of challenges and adrenaline. Another, less admitted reason is that Merriweather keeps him safe from any attempts his family might make to capture and medicate him again.
Personality: Either a symptom of living partially a life in captivity, or a chemical dependence due to dangerously high levels of Baseline he's had forced upon him, Art is an adrenaline junky. He's finally got a life he can live on his own, and he doesn't want to spend a moment not feeling 'alive.' Risks make things more exciting, and Art is likely to spice up even a mundane activity to keep it more interesting. He's very much a 'try anything once' type of guy.

Relationship Status: Single -- Not looking for commitment.
Sexuality: Openly homosexual; Art is attracted to passion, which tends to lead him towards forceful or risky interactions. He finds himself on the bottom or submissive side more often than not due to that preference. He's unashamed or shy about his sexuality, his exploits, or his interests.

Developed Relationships: TBD (Open for it!)

For those already approved or in progress or just thinking about their character  still: I’m totally open to plotting, planning, or having history with anyone with Sebastian. Old combat buds, new friends, fuckbuddies, relationships, whatever else.

Dotley

I said it was coming and here it is. May I present our OOC thread and our Accepted Character thread.

Ta-da!

Everyone with an accepted character is now welcome to add their character to the roster and chatter in our socializing and plotting thread. If you haven't heard back from me and Ouro about your character yet please be patient and give us another day or so to get back to you. We're still reviewing character sheets and answering PMed questions  :-)

It would be really awesome to have you around.

Roen

Kingmaster and I will probably make characters with joint backgrounds for it. Possibly brothers, we'll see, expect the sheets till the end of the week.

Actually, I'm really not that great with military stuff and am struggling a bit with his work history...not sure where to start but I have some ideas.

Dotley

Hiya all! If you just recently submitted a character please give us another day or so to get back to you. We have multiple sheets to read through and some PM questions to answer. Thanks for the patience.

The game won't be starting until after Christmas. Happy holidays everyone!

The feeling is mutual.  I'll take it slow and see what happens.  I'm thinking about making a 'Normal' presenting character.

No questions as of yet.  My vague character idea thus far is a cross between Black Widow and Q from the James Bond universe, so smart and deadly though he will not be Empowered.

Hah my 2nd character concept was essentially Colin Firth from the Kingsman, and a Normal, so almost exactly that. But I think my plate is a bit full right now, so I support your concept 100% :)
