Surprise, Ægir! We got a new kid and have no idea what to do with him - he's so green I thought maybe the Dragon sent another kappa to spy on us at first - so we thought we'd forward you an application we put together for him. What? We're not offloading our trash on you or anything! Seriously! It's up to you, but you get first priority if you want him.
Name: Carlton "Ultimate-Carl" Flynn
Kid apparently goes by his internet handle when working for us. Cute.
Age/Gender: 23/M
23? Looks like he's fuckin' 16.
Position Desired: Field Investigation
He's annoying and sure as hell no genius, but he's got a knack for figuring things out and seems to just be stupidly lucky. Speaking of, he totally tripped face-first into magic powers, so maybe the Arcane division would work, too. Your call. Still, you'd be surprised how close a kid who already dressed and acted like a wizard before he actually became one can get to people without raising suspicion. I guess when every group is a mystery wrapped in an enigma deep-fried in secrets, the one guy who DOESN'T "act casual" is somehow the least conspicuous...
Relevant Skills:
Relevant Background Information:
Contact Information:
"Ultimate-Carl" - he's registered in our private network under that. Also his cell is (***) ***-****. Bet you can find him on some My Little Pony fansites, too
Next-of-Kin:
James Flynn - Grandfather - Deceased - he's dead, but that hasn't exactly stopped mages even less powerful than he was before. You might have heard of him. I mean, I sure hadn't, but apparently he was kind of a big deal with magic-types up North. Nobody else in his immediate family is noteworthy, nor should they be a problem
((OOC section))
1. How much experience do you have with roleplaying? Have you played other MMORPGs? There's no wrong answer here.
Quite a bit! I RPed a lot on WoW, City of Heroes, Champions Online, The Old Republic... I've also been playing tabletops for about 10 years and I've RPed with friends via IM for about as long. I'm currently RPing pretty regularly over on Dreamwidth!
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?
As the application implies, he's just been assigned by the Illuminati rather than seeking out the group himself, but he is certainly interested in a group that keeps a finger on every pulse and tries to keep things running smoothly. He prefers to talk rather than fight and loves any chance to learn - especially if it's crazy occult stuff he's learning.
3a. Fill in the blank: If my character were to meet an Eldritch Horror From Beyond Space And Time, he/she would probably __________.
Cry. Then almost immediately stop crying because how does it move like that and what would you even call that color he didn't think humans could perceive? So cool!
3b. Fill in the blank: If I were to meet an Eldritch Horror From Beyond Space And Time, I would probably __________.
Cry. Then die.
4. How did you find out about us, and how would you like for us to contact you in-game?
From the RP Cabal List on the official forums! You can send me a tell or a mail or however you want to contact me in-game! My Nick, as you probably know by this point, is "Ultimate-Carl"!
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!
Not... Really... Haha, I guess that's kind of boring, sorry!

Relevant Skills:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science - well at least we know he isn't an idiot an we don't have to show him how to run Malwarebytes. Doesn't seem to demonstrate any useful level of hacking ability, though
- Generally well-researched - like I said, he's pretty good at figuring things out, and seems to know quite a bit about legends, random trivia, and that kind of stuff. Half of it is useless facts about min/maxing your Pokémon team, but he may surprise you
- Rudimentary firearms training - kid must have gone to the firing range a bit. He's not a bad shot and seems to know quite a bit about maintenance, and took pretty well to it when we gave him a shotty
- Growing talent with elemental magics - yeah, that magic I mentioned? Looks like his granddaddy was a pretty damn powerful mage and this numbnuts tripped over one of his tomes. Guess the stuff runs in their blood, because he's come a long way in only a little over a year
Relevant Background Information:
- Born and raised in East Lansing, Michigan - early life was unremarkable. Like, at all
- Attended Michigan State University, finished with a Bachelor's in CS in 2010- go Spartans
- Stayed with parents for a year while job-hunting - got involved with a group of Mage: The Awakening LARPers (obligatory "oWoD was so much better" here). Turns out a few of them were actual mages, albeit hedge mages
- Discovered grandfather's tomes - apparently he was just looking for a prop for a costume. It almost instantly reacted to his blood as a descendent of the original owner and woke up a surprising amount of power in him
- Trained his abilities for a year or so before being formally contacted by the Illuminati - claims he worked with some of the guys from his LARP group to help harness his abilities. For some reason they're all dead now. Hey! Don't pin this one on us, and we were watching him so we know he didn't do it. The plot thickens... Or, actually, who gives a shit, we got the only one with any real talent from that group and now they can't squawk
