Wormwood

"He walked out in the gray light and stood and he saw for a brief moment the absolute truth of the world. The cold relentless circling of the intestate earth. Darkness implacable. The blind dogs of the sun in their running. The crushing black vacuum of the universe. And somewhere two hunted animals trembling like ground-foxes in their cover. Borrowed time and borrowed world and borrowed eyes with which to sorrow it."

-Cormac McCarthy, The Road

The music I listen to to put myself in this character's head, might help you get a feel for him too.

RP Hooks

I'm looking for a more direct way to find the things that fit my character's style and my own personal vision of the World of Darkness. Here are some of the sorts of People, Places, and PRP's I'd like to meet/find/take part in.


  • Blue Collar: Fry cooks, baristas, convenience store clerks. I'd love to meet you. Having a shitty apartment, and just barely making ends meat is the worst, isn't it? Don't you hate the daily-grind...let's talk shit about our bosses, eat greasy food, and drink cheap beer together! I'd love to hang out in seedy places with people who aren't pretty and don't make tons of money.


  • Malcontents and Mayhem Makers: When you get off of work, do you seethe with anger at being picked on by your boss/customers. Do you ever want to just...engage in wanton destruction and acts of vandalism? Me too. Let's take out anger out on the system that keeps us down, let's prove that we're not their slaves.


  • The Medical Periphery: Nurses, EMT's, Janitors, etc...anyone who has a job RELATING To the medical field who isn't an actual doctor. Makes less money, is willing to trash talk doctors and/or play pranks on them. Think Scrubs. Let's play poker while we discuss the romantic lives of doctors together, and occasionally steal their expensive watches.


  • The Down and Out: Not just homeless people, but homeless shelters, volunteers, and soup kitchens. I'm not the kind of guy who goes to big benefits and dumps money towards the ABSTRACT IDEA of homelessness...I want to come meet you, give you stuff, and trade stories. I'd love to help the homeless, volunteer, meet other volunteers, and hang out with the poor and destitute. I've got sandwiches, and I'm not big on appearances. Let's huddle around a trash-can fire together.


  • Supernatural Strangeness: Do you vomit caustic goo? Worship a giant squid? Do you have to eat handfuls of trash every day to survive? Don't worry, I won't judge you, I bet you're fascinating and I want to learn more. Wormwood doesn't destroy the unusual or twisted, he seeks to observe and learn from it. After-all, the world would be boring without a little bit of entropy, wouldn't it? Let's be strange together.


  • Morally Grey, but not Evil: Wormwood is the kind of guy who'd go out of his way to help a teenaged runaway, but also go out of his way to push an ad-executive off a bridge (if nobody was watching). When someone breaks in to rob a bank, what is your first reaction? Stand up to them and save everyone? Hahahaha! Get real. I'm looking for the sort of people who would sneak off to save themselves, wait and see what happens, or use the chaos to their advantage. Fuck those banks, anyways.


Are you poor, mal-adjusted, or just sick and tired of being trampled on? Are you interested in helping the less fortunate, do you have strange dietary needs, do you not care at all about appearances? Interested in chaos, mayhem, and vandalism?


Let's hang out.

Information Snapshots
  • Full Name: Blake Wormwood


  • Position: Doctor...?


  • RP-Prefs: I am into the World of Darkness; I'm into dark themes, but I am not a big fan of PK'ing, especially for silly reasons. I'm up for intrigue, mystery, danger, double-crossing, violence, darkness, and horror...just don't decide to kill me because you had a bad day at work, okay?


  • OOC Masque: To me, keeping and uncovering secrets is a major part of what I enjoy about WOD mushes. It's also a major component of my IC existence. As-such, I'd appreciate you not getting frustrated when I play coy, or don't tell you what sphere I'm part of. It's all part of the game for me. By the same token, I prefer not to know the same about you, until/unless I can figure it out on my own. This is fun for me!

Let's hang out.

"Long hours, screaming children, exposure to exotic diseases, coming home covered in mystery fluids...trust me, it's worth it."


"The name of the star is called Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter." -Revelations 8:11


Futurama

Fry: "Is there a human doctor around?"

Zoidberg: "Young lady, I am an expert on humans!"


Music


These are some songs I was listening to when I made the character. They may or may not have anything to do with the concept.
