Your name: Ros Character name: Arthur Fandom: Inception - AU for past game memories City life: Arthur's pretty flexible, useful for physical work (military, security, that kind of thing), managing/personal assisting, librarian stuff (his cover at the game he'll be coming from was "research librarian," so it's a role he has experience working in) annnd sketchy under-the-table criminal things. Powers: Canonically, he has no powers. If I were to give him any, I'd like it to be something like dream walking... BUT PEOPLE DON'T DREAM HERE, so that's an issue. Unless his powers actively induced dreams.
Do you think they'll be active? Yes, I think he'll be pretty active, because the meta-plot will drive him to try to get to the bottom of things. Do you think they'll participate in plot? Definitely!
Why this character interests you here: Given the nature of Arthur's canon, I think this premise will especially fuck with his head, and I'm a terrible person who enjoys that sort of thing. The struggle between what's a dream and what's reality, concerns that this might be Limbo, fighting off the urge to test his luck with a "kick", etc. Also, because I'd like to take him with memories from another game (Last Voyages), I'm interested in basically playing out his ongoing storyline with a game mate, should they app, too. Arthur has a responsibility towards another person in exchange for Cobb's safety (Arthur's pulled from towards the end of the film), and he'll try to keep to it even here.
Potential concerns: I'm always leery of apping a character with previous-game history, and I can easily play Arthur without it if it comes down to it. But! I'd prefer to keep the extra history. I'm basically just posting this to, I guess, give a heads up in case anyone has questions or concerns themselves?
Also, I'm trying to brainstorm what kind of city history he had, and I'm torn between "BORING MIDDLE CLASS HELL" (hence dreaming about such a fantastical life) and "sketchy criminal irl" (hence dreaming that he's some kind of amazing JAMES BOND of criminals).
Apologies for any incoherence. I've not had my coffee.
