- Nickname: His best friend calls him ‘War and Peace’ because he’s a little tempestuous, but that hardly seems like a nickname, right? It’s longer than his actual name.
Gender/Pronoun: Male, He/Him/His
Age: 18
Birthday: August 14, 2005 (bringing him in at 18, so birthyear might be adjusted after he’s playable TuT)
Sign: Leo
Gemstone: Sardonyx
Blood Type: AB-
Fav. Food: Oysters! They aren’t readily available, so of course he wants them all the time…
Hated Food: Kraft singles: stop trying to feed him actual plastic.
School/Occupation: Recently graduated from Romano’s Constitutional Haven / Currently an overnight stocker at Wal-Mart.
Hobbies:
- Fidget: Sitting still is not really his forte, and Warren has lots of energy to spare. He is always handling some toy or scritching doodles in a book. Don't leave your knitted sweaters with him or you will come back to find them unraveled. It’s not distracting to him to not have something in his hands, but it is kind of boring, and there’s really no reason to suffer that if he doesn’t have to. A rare splurge landed him with a small combination 3D printer, laser engraver, and wood cutter that Warren messes with often. Most frequently he prints cute wiggly fidget lizards, frogs, and turtles. They are absolutely his favorite thing, but he doesn’t really need thirty of them. Warren will busy himself with tidying up his prints by cutting away excess plastic and sanding things nicely, but he doesn’t mind giving them away once he’s had his fun with them; keeps a few in his bag, and if anyone expresses even the slightest interest in what he’s got, the offer’s on the table for them to take one home. Once they’re finished, it’s straight onto the next!
Axe Throwing: Destiny City has a couple of venues for it, but why bother with that when Warren can just go out into the woods and throw blades at trees. His dad used to go camping with him, so there was opportunity for all manner of stupid, vaguely hazardous activities, but Warren has grown out of hanging with his parents and now mostly does stupid, vaguely hazardous activities with his friends. He has his own axe collection, and he literally can’t tell the difference between the shop targets and s**t he can make himself, so impromptu forest-locale axe competitions are pretty much his favorite pastime. Not to toot his own horn, but he knows what he’s doing, and doesn’t need some attendant hovering. Has good aim and enough pent up aggression to hurt something if that’s his intention. He can and has successfully ‘hunted’ street pigeons. There’s a trillion of them. The city won’t miss a few.
Arcade: Warren has a full time job and an extra crappy apartment and bills to pay, but honestly games are priority, and he thinks he deserves whatever meager shreds of happiness can be scraped off the gross arcade floor. Has no savings because he spends any extra earnings putting credits on his Dave and Buster’s card every week. Say goodbye to any chance of ever being able to afford an actual vacation because his self restraint is rock bottom. He’ll play any variety of other game (board, card, computer) with anyone who asks, and he’s no stranger to game shops, but it’s not the same as all the lights and sounds and atmosphere of arcade. It is definitely enough of a sensory overload that he doesn’t have to think about the other aspects of his shitty life. And he appreciates snacks being brought to him at D&B’s; it’s hard to beat that. Warren tends to gravitate there whenever he is in an especially unpleasant mood, but DDR and Big Buck Hunter make him feel better.
Virtues:
- Supportive: The ‘Peace’ in his nickname, Warren is a good friend and cheerleader who thinks you can be anything you want to be and do anything you want to do, and he’s game for helping out, if you think he has anything to offer. He holds his friends in high regard and doesn’t really stand for people trying to bring them down. Will get into fights to defend their honor and has a lot of ‘big brother’ energy.
Fearless: Can you even imagine living in a hazard-prone city like Destiny and trying to avoid every dark alley you come across? Warren simply does not have the time or energy (or baseline intelligence) to be all that bothered by things most would be wary of. He already lives on the shady side of town and works overnight, and he isn’t going to be ducking for cover anytime a gruff-looking stranger tries to cross paths with him. He tries not to go out of his way to look for danger, but he’s not going to be ever looking over his shoulder on the way home at night. Warren doesn’t mind taking risks and feels capable of handling seedy tasks that no one else wants to. He laughs in the face of danger.
Confident: Doesn’t second-guess himself (again mostly because of the ‘no time or patience’ thing) and trusts that whatever he does will work out for the best. Warren doesn’t have any qualms about approaching strangers or speaking up if he has a complaint or any other comment, for that matter. He knows he’s not perfect, but he still loves himself as-is, and thinks that’s a pretty damn important thing to do in this hell scape timeline, so you should too. …Love yourself, that is, not necessarily him- but if you want to tho, he wouldn’t blame you. He commits hard because he is that sure of his decisions, and literally what does he even have to lose.
Flaws:
- Intrusive: Nothing is ever ‘your’ business; everything is an our business situation with Warren. He drops in on your private conversations, gives unsolicited advice about your awful spouse, and won’t let it go when people try to keep things from him. He is suspicious and paranoid of his friends or family hiding things from him (and has a bad habit of thinking they always are), but he is also not very secretive of watching or listening in on strangers. Doesn’t really respect his friends’ privacy (will poke at them or barge into their homes or jobs unprompted), but insists it’s just because they’re such good friends! Don’t worry about it, it’s cool for him to break into your place because he’s your bestie. He’s everyone’s bestie. Nothing is off limits!
Vocal: And while he is up in your business, he is absolutely not secretive about it. You will know all of his opinions and all of his feels, and if you don’t like it, well, he’ll probably be offended for it, and you’ll know about that too. He is an over-sharer in general, and there are worryingly few topics that are strictly off-limits, even to someone he doesn’t know especially well.
Quick-tempered: War gets unreasonably agitated over small inconveniences. Road rage or catching wind of he-said-she-said whispers about someone he knows will send him into a loud rant at best… Or encourage him to violence at worst. What were tantrums as a child have mostly evolved into actual harassment as an adult, and he’s definitely lost friendships and a job and almost a place to live over it. He knows better and is aware that he should be able to control himself, but the moment often grabs hold of him, and Warren forgets everything except that he is upset. It’s hard to let things go until he has a chance to do something about it, but he is getting a little better at not acting immediately in the moment. Better to wait until no one is looking and save some of the trouble. It can take a while to cool off from minor stressors, and he tends to hold a grudge particularly vehemently if he doesn’t get to act.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
- Eyes: COFFEE and if eyes could be smirky, that’s what you’d call them.
Hair: BLOND with frosted tips. Kept pretty short and lank, Warren mostly wears it however it happens to fall when he wakes up in the morning.
Face: Has somewhat of a long face and narrow cheeks.
Skin Tone: Very PALE PEACH
Body Type: Stands a bit above average at 6’2” and is on the lankier side. Warren isn’t weak- he’s pretty active. But he just looks so long.
Clothes: Casual jeans and t-shirts. Might be ripped, might not. Could be dark or could be white washed. Tends to look cheap because he definitely is. Clothes are not important to him. It’s extremely rare that he’ll see a t-shirt that he just has to have. He’s perfectly happy with second hand finds or Wal-Mart brand.
Negaverse Alias: Lieutenant
