This are characters from my history that I believe could be cool to have on the site. The characters are adaptable and much is open for them, some more than others. I think the two that could help with the site the most would be Jack Carson and Charlie as Charlie has recently discovered hi mutant power and doesn't quite know what to do and Jack Carson is a police office, though it is possible that the player could take him on a different route and make him become a S.H.I.E.L.D. operative through role-play or something. Like I said they're flexible and what not.
Jack Carson - Play-by Suggestion:
Bruce Willis
Jack is the breadwinner of the Carson family. He is a strict, authoritarian with a no non-sense attitude. He is a police office in his mid to late fifties and is a war veteran. He is very intimidating and has rocky relationships even with the people closest to him. He finds it hard to express caring feelings and hates talking about feelings. He is a tough guy and has his own idea of what a real man is. He loves sports, particularly baseball and football. I’d prefer if he were a Mets fan as it would give him something else to complain about. He is very hard on his youngest son, T.J., whom he usually tends to call ted which he thinks is manlier(he named him Theodore after Teddy Roosevelt). He views T.J. as geeky, whimpy and everything that isn’t his ideal view of what a man should be. While T.J. likes to talk things out and hope, Jack finds it better to hold things in and be overly critical of things and other people. He used to have a very good relationship with his daughter Joy as he was oblivious to the fact that she was a promiscuous woman. He recently realized this and their relationship has been going rather downhill since. He also almost got a divorce with his wife a year ago. Out of his children he probably has the best relationship with Robert who he views as a real man. He tends to be cynical and pessimistic. He tends to over exaggerate the consequences of things such as when T.J. started playing the guitar for fun adn he wanted him to stop because he didn’t want his son to become ‘a pot smoking, drug snorting loser playing the guitar at grand central station for pocket change’. Overall, he is a very unpleasant person. If T.J. ever gets brought in by police and they ask his name and their first response should be “Jack Carson’s kid? You poor bastard.” However, he is far from a bad person. He is patriotic, cares deeply about his children under everything and is a police officer out there risking his life without any powers every day. He’s just very rough around the edges.
Molly Carson - Play-by Suggestion:
Annette O'Toole
Molly is the care-taker and mother figure in the Carson family. She is a sweet, caring and very overprotective person. She is a helicopter mother and still refers to T.J. as ‘Teddy’. She tends to think of her children as still being her little babies and babies them a lot. She can bring out the best in others and has a way of making others feel guilty. She is naive in the sense that like T.J. she always believes in the best of those around her and tends to blind herself from the bad. She loves her family unconditionally and is generally a very nice person. This character is rather flexible and her other traits and flaws are up to whoever chooses her.
Joy Carson - Play-by Suggestion:
A.J. Cook
- 28 - Joy tends to be spiteful and manipulative. She tends to like messing with others and is a very promiscuous woman. She is also a lawyer and a very smart and beautiful woman. She has her flaws and can be rather mean, crude and offensive at times, but she does have her moments. Despite the way she acts, she genuinely does care a lot for her family. She also does hope that she can settle down with the right guy one day. Being babied by both her parents growing up she came to a belief that she’s more important than people and acts like the world revolves around her. However, due to her father’s recent change of opinions and T.J. sticking up for her despite her treating him like nothing more than an annoying twerp most of his life, she has started to make a conscious effort to change herself. Though this is a long path and she will always be a bitchy.
Robert Carson Play-by Suggestion:
Tom Welling
- 31 - Robert can be self-centered at times. Growing up he was treated great by his father and lived by many of his fathers views. He is a tough guy and loves sports. His favorite sport is football and from a young age he had prodigious skill for the sport and went on to play in college and it is the player who picks up Robert that gets to choose if he went on to the professionals. Robert is of average intelligence and being that his younger brother is incredibly smart(enough to get into MIT) and his sister smart enough to have gone to Cambridge and become a lawyer, he often feels inferior due to not being as smart as them. He never exactly had a close relationship with T.J. as he was thirteen when T.J. was born and was away at college by the time T.J. was five. Robert is somewhat of a legend at his high school due to his football skill. He is a player and tends to let his hormones get the best of him, sometimes thinking with his ‘little brain’ rather than the one in his head. Robert is a flexible and interpretable character. Not much is set in stone for his past. The only thing set in stone in his past is he was thirteen at the birth of T.J., played football in college and high school and was in college by the time T.J. was five.
Charlie ---- - Play-by Suggestions
Miles Teller
Charlie is T.J. oldest and closest friend. They have been best friends since they were eight years old when their fatehrs forced them to play baseball on the same little league team. Charlie is actually a very smart guy, especially in street smarts and even a bit in book smarts. He has also always been ratehr good at almost anythign he tried. It is unfortunate that he suffered from having a chronic big mouth and a sever lack of interest in absolutely everything other than wreaking havoc and messing with people. Despite being smart, he had terrible grades in school because literally the effort of putting pen to paper wasn’t worth his time. Charlie can be a bit self centered at times and can often lose sight of the big picture. He is a full blown rebel and has somewhat of a talent for art being that he loves to spray paint, an activity he got T.J. wrapped up in. Charlie is a ladies man, however, he doesn’t often get ladies for long periods of time due to being obnoxious and having a big mouth. He’s known for short flings due to his lack of commitment to absolutely anything. Part of this might be a fear of messing up or something along those liens, but that’s your decision. He is also a good muay thai fighter having started it in the ninth grade with T.J.. His father, while not a strict authoritarian, has tried hard Charlie’s whole life to get him to be excited or into something. Charlie is also a rather good drummer having learned from his older brother Jeremy. Charlie is also a funny guy. He tends to take things slow and has a quick wit. He tends to not take anything from anybody and often gets himself into trouble. He has a temper problem with bullies and such often mouthing off at people at the wrong times. He is also incredibly stubborn. Lately, Charlie has been drifting farther away from T.J. in their senior year. Partially because T.J. has been accepted into MIT, a school he couldn’t get into in his wildest dreams due to never exerting himself in school. The main reason however, is that he’s developed a mutant power and knows that with T.J.’s hero-worship he’ll try to push him into being a hero, but he just doesn’t knwo what he wants to do yet. Sure being a hero might be cool and all and it might get him some lady friends, but it’s also probably a lot of work. And we all know how Charlie feels about ‘work’. Charlie deeply cares for his friends. Enough that he will defend them against bullies twice his size even if his friends ignore it. He is also good at holding grudges as when T.J. and Chris reconciled and became friends in the eighth grade, Charlie wouldn’t befriend Chris until the summer before tenth grade. His mutant power is up to you but I’d suggest something like Super Speed or Adoptive Muscle Memory as those kinds of powers tend to suit his personality. Something that will allow him to be more lazy than usual.
Chris ---- - Play-by Suggestion:
Robbie Amell
Chris has always had prodigious sports skill, mainly football. He is charming and can talk himself out of almost any situations and is very good looking. He has always been a chick magnet and was quite the player, though this has changed as he grew up. Chris loves football and can be quite the party guy. He cares about his friends and tries to do the right thing for them. he tried setting up T.J. on a few blind dates during High School. However, he is also a bit self-loathing. His father often abused Chris and his mother. He was incredibly hard on Chris and would beat him for any stupid mistake he might make on the field. His father was a police officer and a strict authoritarian who took no back talk. T.J. and Chris’ father had a rivalry they lived vicariously through their children. Chris became a bully early in life and his favorite victims were T.J. and Charlie due to their parents rivalry and Charlie’s big mouth. T.J. and Chris reconciled in the eighth grade after T.J. found out about his abusive father and they became close friends. Throughout Middle School he was known for constantly hitting on Kayla who didn’t accept him because he was a bully. As he became closer with T.J., he became a bit jealous of T.J. who’s family was less dysfunctional than his own and T.J. was also a great person with a sharp intellect. Chris’ senior year has been horrible. His relationship with kayla ended after she broke it off after a year of dating. He was injured and possibly blew his arm. His father severely beat him and he ended up running away to live with T.J.,though his father, drunk, would die in a car crash while looking for his son. Having collapsed into alcohol, his drink of choice being Jack Daniels, Chris would attempt suicide on the Brooklyn Bridge after being kicked out by Jack Carson, however, T.J. convinced him not to and to go to rehab to clean himself up. He’s been in rehab for two weeks now.
Kayla ----- - Play-by Suggestion
JoJo Levesque
Kayla is T.J.’s only female friend. She is strong-willed and has her morals. She also sees things for what they really are as she refused to fall for Chris during Middle School because he was a bully, unlike the rest of the Middle School girls who loved him. She is caring adn doesn’t take bull shit from bullies. She isn’t afraid to stick up for others people, even if she doesn’t know them as shown in when she stood up for T.J. against Chris in the sixth grade. She dated Chris for a year but broke it off in their senior year leaving them both tearful and sad. Her personality and history are very open and adaptable.
