CHARACTER INFO Character name: Ashraf Salib Canon: Original, but I stick him in D&D a lot, so kinda that. Basic info: tl;dr He's a sad hermit mountain man with ex wife baggage and a load of holy magic, perfect for mentor or stressed babysitter roles. In more detail: he used to hunt demons with his wife, but she got got and was turned into a demon. She hunted him for a while, but he managed to seal her into the Abyss, and is currently just real bummed about all that. He's retired from demon hunting and thinks he only wants solitude these days, but obviously he's ripe for being dragged back into things. Appearance: Tall, bearded, Middle Eastern features, clothes tend to be ornate but well-worn. Here. Setting: What kind of setting are they from? What kind of other settings are you willing to fit them into? Are there any settings you're not interested in? He's typically from a fantasy setting where holy magic is unusual but not unheard of, but I could easily slide him into some light scifi (like Star Wars) or a modern setting. I'm least interested in modern, but a compelling idea will trump any setting disinterest.
PLOTTING Storylines you want to write: The only solid one I really have in mind involves the other player writing his wife as they become enemies; I've got nothing worked out for her except that she was a warrior, so that's a pretty open role. Otherwise, I'd like to see him bump into a character in trouble and involve himself reluctantly in their affairs, until he's too invested to go back to hermiting. He's great in the backup/helper/behind the scenes role to someone more outgoing and mission-based. Themes you want to explore: Getting over the wife baggage/picking yourself back up from being a sadsack. I also really like his holy magic, it's healing/buffing etc, and I'm just always charmed by working that into prose. Roles your character can play to others: Mentor, guide, magic tutor, here to keep you alive as you destroy monsters, sad boyfriend, demon expert. He's compassionate and not afraid to stick his nose where it doesn't belong, so he does well with reticent characters reluctant to open up. He also does well with very outgoing characters who will shove him out of his comfort zone, cuz boy does he need that.
CANON CHARACTER SPECIFIC Are you interested in crosscanon PSLs? How closely do you want to adhere to canon in terms of headcanons? Are you interested in an AU, or OU only?
test drive prompts: oh god i'll come back to this with examples at some point
