PLAYER: kiva
CHARACTER: Roadhog
CANON: Overwatch


AU NAME: Mako Rutledge
AU AGE: 50
AU OCCUPATION: Mako runs a pawn shop, but offers freelance work on the side. Need some plumbing done? Carpentry? Car repair? Fix some faulty wiring? He's your guy. (It's not limited to this I want him to have such a wide skillset that people are like "how the hell can he do all of this stuff" and they will never ever find out)
BLURB:

- Probably a criminal before he came to Recolle. Probably had jailtime. You'll never know.
- Once he got out he had a hard time establishing himself in Australia of just wanting to work and keep to himself.
- Decided to move somewhere else, picked America and then Recolle for no specific reason.
- Probably lived here about ten years? Twenty? He's been here a long time anyway.
- He started off doing repairs freelance. Eventually opened up a pawn shop he worked out of; while he isn't out doing his repairing rounds, he can be found there buying and selling unwanted crap people have. Scraps a lot of stuff too for cash.
- He, despite his past (and au self) is actually a legitimate guy. He gives everyone a fair prices to try and foster customer loyalty. He knows it'll make him more cash in the long run.
- At some point an old friend of his got in contact with him and said their son was moving out to Recolle after he finished up at college. They asked him to look after him while he was there, which he accepted.
- He regrets this
- That son (Junkrat) lives with him, and they both live in the upper floor of the pawn shop. They get along but also don't get along. It's complicated.
- He's actually secretly very anti-establishment but only if you get him drunk, at which point he doesn't...shut up.

LOOKING FOR:

- customers!! If something breaks in your house/place of business and you want to have a reliable guy who can fix it up for you, Roadhog's your man. I'd like him to have a base of people who call him up often for this kind of thing. It's a better way to establish past cr anyway because he's less likely to make "Friends" normally. But he'd have no problem getting to know people who frequently make use of his services.
- that's...about it for now honestly, he's otherwise just a stubborn old grandpa who keeps to himself but isn't a bad person necessarily.
(this'll change)

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME:

I don't know if they would necessarily be friends but Yoshiko would gladly visit this guy's shop every now and again looking for cool hand-me-downs and just kind of be awestruck at how much of a secret badass this guy is? Like this guy can eat her alive and it's terrifying but also really cool oops

[personal profile] broham 2017-04-11 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm up for it! They def wouldn't be friends considering...she's a baby but it'd pretty much be the kind of relationship you'd expect from knowing that one guy who's run his store for as long as you can remember who you see with some frequency

Though if he ever catches her tagging his store he'll make her clean it off tbh

That and call her parents

[personal profile] trappingheart 2017-04-11 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
s-scary..... his store will be on the Safe List
broham: (8)

[personal profile] broham 2017-04-11 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Good

...although I kind of want this to have happened once in the past

Like she didn't know the type of person who ran the store and when he comes out to be mad about it she's like

YOU ARE ONE SCARY DUDE all starry eyed and then he just sticks her with a sponge and bucket

Although ever since she just keeps coming by like you said

If this sounds good to you !

[personal profile] trappingheart 2017-04-11 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
THAT SOUNDS WONDERFUL TO ME I love it!!! How cute! Maybe she'll bring her friends along too like "guys check out how scary this dude who runs this store is?! he's Hardcore" so hopefully he doesn't mind teenagers oohing and aahing

[personal profile] broham 2017-04-14 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
WELL..........as long as they buy something

otherwise they're just taking up space and he aint about that
doublesmall: (but the waves hit my head)

[personal profile] doublesmall 2017-04-10 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
chuuya could definitely be a customer of his! he'd probably need things fixed around the bar every so often, and he'd likely get the occasional free drink for it if he wanted tbh... ofc he'd pay too BUT he likes drinking with people if they're down, okay
broham: (3)

[personal profile] broham 2017-04-11 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah that's good! If that's the case then he likely stops by chuuya's place with some frequency in his off time

He's the type of person who'd sit down in the corner and just

Read the paper with a scotch tbh

He needs his alone time

But if he was at the counter and he wanted to talk Hog wouldn't say no either, so they're likely on good terms by this point

lailah has probably called upon his services for any fixings in her house at least once on a suggestion from someone else that got help from him. after that she just learned to rely on him whenever something goes Wrong after that since he was such a nice guy about it !!

she more than certainly offers him baked goods/sweets whenever he stops by to help with repairs. prob even visits his shop sometimes to bring some too !! if he likes them, that is
broham: (8)

[personal profile] broham 2017-04-11 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
YEAH LIKE...he isn't as cartoonishly overweight as he is in canon (literally 500lbs) and is definitely more muscle but

There's an old man gut there

And sweets are one of the contributing factors

And she's also to blame now for feeding him...CAN SHE LIVE WITH THE GUILT

(but seriously though, this all sounds good! I'm down)
warmhearted: game. (pic#9355479)

[personal profile] warmhearted 2017-04-12 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
she'll live with the guilt... on the occasion she of course provides healthy treats too with them. only because she worries while he's off doing labor work and running his pawn shop he isn't eating right

EXCELLENT i may not like the death of hooks in game but i can appreciate roadhog's character so i'm excited c:
broham: (2)

[personal profile] broham 2017-04-14 01:05 am (UTC)(link)

oh what the fuck im dying? how the hell is roadhog so cute here. send mercy, i need a rez.

liz probably will have a repairman in the form of frank castle BUT!!! i'd love if he could be her mechanic? or maybe her car breaks down and he helps her. typical "its raining cats and dogs and my phone is dead. please help this woman".

or maybe when she was younger (as in early 20s) she bought some stuff from the pawn shop because she was a Poor Mom with low income :c
broham: (8)

[personal profile] broham 2017-04-11 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
PLEASE THIS IS ADORABLE??

It could've been back when she was still poor income mom and she was having A Day and then on top of everything else her car breaks down outside his shop

And she comes in to ask to use his phone to call a mechanic but he offers to take a look at it for her

And ever since she comes to him for car repairs/selling stuff for money

If she's ever really strapped for cash he probably let her like, pay what she could (maybe like, pay the rest later in the month) to help her out

YES? please!!! he would be invited to dinner so often!! i love deep rooted history and this would help flesh out elizabeth's back history.

if he ever gets in trouble, elizabeth would seriously Fight People or bail him out. ugh.

[personal profile] broham 2017-04-14 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
lmfao god no the idea of roadhog as anyone's family friend is too cute i cant handle this

im also sorry in advance as she continues to fight on behalf of the guy who's just gonna become worse and worse a person as regains happen
me_matey: (i've nothing to lose love me to the end)

[personal profile] me_matey 2017-04-11 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
i'm still up for what we had in the last one, if you are
broham: (6)

[personal profile] broham 2017-04-14 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
sure am! he'll keep fixing that boat so long as she keeps paying

except i guess he'd still do it anyway even if she couldn't if only for her old man
me_matey: (you'll rebel to anything)

[personal profile] me_matey 2017-04-14 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
hey it's starting tourist season so at least she's not completely broke
