PLAYER: Myco
CHARACTER: Potemkin
CANON: Guilty Gear


AU NAME: Peter Hoboken
AU AGE: Early twenties
AU OCCUPATION: Police Officer
BLURB:
* Born in Recolle to a single mother who he lives with and dotes on.
* He's the sort of person with a lot of varied talents from academic to creative to physical, but circumstances meant turning down all the opportunities he had (an out of state art school, a military scholarship) for one reason or another, ultimately preventing him from ever uprooting. Most of it amounts to mundane reasons like financial concerns or not wanting to leave his family.
* Eventually he settled for a job that would keep him in Recolle with his mother.
* Mostly accepting of his lot in life, except that a repressed sense of wanderlust seeps out sometimes.
* He's not a full true nerd but he's open to it basically. He reads fantasy books and joined a birdwatching group.
* Which might come as a surprise to anyone who knows him otherwise, because he is the biggest i-dotting, paper-pushing, protocol-reciting stickler you're unfortunate to meet/work with.
* Also has an outright frightening case of resting bitchface, though he is actually very harmless.

LOOKING FOR:

* COPS. Anyone else in law enforcement or would have even the most tangential relationship to it, whether they be fellow patrol officers, superiors, rookies, forensics scientists, regular visitors, regular criminals...
* SPEAKING OF CRIMINALS Potemkin in canon has an ornery and sometimes antagonistic relationship with several good-hearted outlaws, and it would be great if he still managed to have a similar dynamic in AU form. It doesn't matter if the stakes are much lower and the crimes are less dramatic, in fact it's actually kinda funnier that way.
* Actual jerks would also be cool, especially since Potemkin/Peter has an infinitely long fuse and will put up with practically anything they give him until they actually cross one of his lines.
* People who may be unknowingly a secret witness who are onto his nerdier interests. Maybe someone notices that Peter is the type to go by his full real name online...
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME:
This is mostly a Copy Paste of last time. I am drowning in guilt for missing out on the last app round everyone was so nice to me. I am completely down with picking up anything discussed last post!
