Name (including aliases as appropriate):
Severino "SubRoc" Keres aka Guy "NotSubRoc" Incognito aka Rodrigo Rodriguez
Age/Gender:
40-something, male
Relevant Skills:
Law license in NY, crap taste in music.
Relevant Background Information:
Summary:
A crazy man, though not always such, Sev Keres is a lawyer, a kid from Brooklyn, and currently off the grid. A functional member of society until recently, eating the bee has triggered something of a psychotic break. He is paranoid, delusional, prone to auditory and visual hallucinations, an internet addict, a rampant conspiracy theorist, and a bald-faced liar. Recommended you avoid.
In essence, he is juggling four identities:
Severino Keres:
This is the name on the birth certificate. 41 years old. An ordinary if somewhat moderately bright kid of Greek/Italian heritage from Brooklyn, he attended Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan, graduating with a middling record in 1989 before attending the University of Wisconsin in Madison and Brooklyn Law School.
He practiced law back in New York for several years, eventually partnering with the scion of a respectable New York family in a boutique law firm, Schermerhorn & Keres LLP. He was very much the junior partner in this operation, with a small equity percentage and a large share of the work. When his partner Alan Schermerhorn went missing, and the firm's operating and trust accounts were dscovered to have been commingled and compromised, suspicions naturally fell on him.
In the midst of this spiral he was able to finagle a job in the Legal department of a well known and highly respected security and related services firm. When his psychotic break finally reached full flower, he went no-call-no-show at this job and dropped off the grid.
It is less well known whether he had significant involvement with the Illuminati up to this point. It is conceivable that he did, and in fact had risen to a position of some substance prior to abandoning his identity in toto. No one knows, and likely no one cares.
Rodrigo Rodriguez:
Dropping off the grid in essence involved moving to London's Darkside and assuming the improbable alias of Rodrigo Rodriguez. He has been observed selling flowers and fruit in the Haitian market on occasion. No other occupation is known or apparent.
Rodriguez is a known fixture on the London party circuit, alough something of a running joke to the handful of people who have taken note of him or had the misfortune of engaging him in conversation. He is an atrocious albeit avid dancer.
SubRoc:
Surreptitiously, Keres has secured a radio show on Radio Free Gaia. From this tiny bully pulpit he frequently rails against the vast conspiracies destroying the world and the nefarious agents and entities moving against him. No one really listens to this show. He alleges that this show is being brodcast from an "Undisclosed Location," and hints that this is a heavily fortified panic room somewhere in Brooklyn. It isn't (see below).
A music lover (see above) he also plays a ton of funk, disco, soul, hip-hop, and electronic music. Thankfully his chairdancing goes unseen by others.
Guy "NotSubRoc" Incognito:
Donning a comically bad wig and absurd theatrical moustaches, Keres in fact transmits his radio show not from an "Undisclosed Location," but from London, currently The Crusades. He alleges that he is doing so via live real-time audio/visual/tactile uplink to his "manservant, Guy." This is an obvious fiction and the ruse is apparent to any semi-interested observer.
***
Thankfully for his fragile ego, most who know him just smile and nod and pretend to only know him as "Rodrigo," flower salesman and elderly club kid. He is not known or believed to be dangerous, though he has been observed to be armed with mail-order pepper spray and a safety-orange rape whistle. He has not been seen deploying either in combat to date.
While deeply ethical and a man who honors his commitments to the letter, he is extremely tedious to speak with, inasmuch as virtually everything he says is either (a) gleaned from dubious internet sources such as 4chan and Reddit; (b) a product of his own delusional reasoning; or (c) a lie and/or misdirection designed to perpetuate the thin fiction that he is merely a Darkside flower merchant.

((OOC section))
1. How much experience do you have with roleplaying? Have you played other MMORPGs? There's no wrong answer here.
I play most every MMO. I'm an on-again, off-again RPer and really not much of a plot guy. More of a stooge/foil and into comic RP situations than a lot of moustache twirling.
2. What has brought your character to the group? Do you have any stories/ideas that you hope to develop for them as they progress through the game, and if so, what are they?
I'm personally quite fond of most of you. A PR firm makes a bit of sense for the character as well. Maybe even in the legal department. Or janitorial.
3a. Fill in the blank: If my character were to meet an Eldritch Horror From Beyond Space And Time he would blame Warren Buffett.

4. How did you find out about us, and how would you like for us to contact you in-game?
We seem to see each other a fair bit. Grab me!
5. Have you ever wanted a chance to just say whatever you'd like to about yourself to a group of anonymous strangers over the internet? If so, here's your chance!
Poop.

Someone will grab you in game when possible. Hope you don't mind sacks pulled over your head and van rides.
Weighs the same as a duck.
