OOC PREFERENCES:
•CONTACT METHOD: allikateor @ plurk
•THREAD-JACKING: go for it! just please take it to another post if it's like, 10+ comments
•FOURTH WALLING / CANON PUNCTURE: yes for historical things (Franklin Expedition, there's cannibalism, Terror & Erebus were abandoned). no for specific things regarding to AMC's The Terror (tuunbaq, Carnivale, how certain people died).
•BACKTAGGING: until the cows come home!
•AVOIDED TOPICS: Nothing I can think of.
IC CHARACTERISTICS:
•CURRENT CANON POINT: Post series.
•PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:rat man Hickey's small (at least compared to the rest of the ship, man's like 5"8" tops) and lithe. He's got red hair that he often slicks back and a ratty little red goatee. He looks remarkably well for someone who's recovered from scurvy and lead poisoning...however, his ass is a MESS of scars. Thanks, Crozier.
•DEMEANOR: It truly is amazing how Hickey always manages to come across as a bit of a shit no matter what he does. He's got resting up-to-something face and his smiles are usually smirks.
•ABILITIES: Knives, baby! Which is to say, he's very good with knives, especially when it comes to stabbing. He also has basic sailing skills, basic caulking skills, and a bonkers pain tolerance considering that he was able to still stand upright and still act coherently after sawing his own goddamn tongue out.
•MEDICAL INFORMATION: He's got a series of scars along his ass that are the result of being flogged.He's also arriving with no tongue, thanks to sawing it off in order to try and appease tuunbaq. Plz help. Josh healed him and gave him his tongue back! Josh is now one of Hickey's favorite people on the ship.
•CABIN INFORMATION:It's really pathetic, bless it's heart. The cabin is small, more like a very large closet than an actual cabin. It's large enough to hang a hammock (where Hickey sleeps) and store a ship's chest, with the initials E.C. carved on it (where Hickey stores his stuff). There's space for him to get dressed, but not really much space for anything else. Get ready, whoever his warden is, Hickey's first request is gonna be for you to change that shit.
Thanks to Taura, his cabin's changed. It now looks like the sort of generic ship cabins that the ship has when someone hasn't taken that room. He still has his E.C. ship's chest because it's like...literally one of the only things that is actually HIS.
•OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Nothing really! While Hickey isn't going to be loud and proud about his cannibalism & mutiny, he's not going to deny it if someone brings it up. There is a chance of period-typical racism towards the Inuit people, which I'll always warn for if it comes up.
IC PERMISSIONS:
•MENTAL: Yes, with advanced plotting. There's some big crazy up there in advance, just fyi.
•MIMICRY: Yes!
•VIOLENCE: Yes, with advanced plotting, especially if we want the fight to end with injury or death. Hickey's a scrappy fighter and will give just as much as he's given if necessary (ex: biting, scratching, etc.)
•MAGIC: Yes, with advanced plotting, especially if you want to use magic to fuck 'em up in some way.
•DEBATE: Yes!
•OTHER / NOTES: Hickey is the closest thing the show has to a human big bad (the true big bad is the colonialism we made along the way). Topics that can possibly come up in conversation with him, especially discussing his backstory, are murder (both people murder and animal murder), self-mutilation, racism towards Indigenous peoples, homophobia, identity theft, intense physical violence, and cannibalism.
