I'd love to join back in this RP, if you don't mind having me join of course.

Hey there Ed, long time no see! I'd be happy to have you back. Do you think you'd want to rejoin as the Doom Slayer, or pick another character?

[Eviledd1984]

@Lugubrious

I'd probably go with a new character. Probably either Harry Dubois from Disco Elysium or The Postal Dude from Postal. I honestly might go with Harry. Would that be okay with you?

Sure. Just so you know, we're currently in the middle of the Dead Zone boss battle and you probably couldn't join into that, but we could lay some groundwork to get you set up in our upcoming path. I (and anyone else with extra time on their hands) could puppet temporary characters in Harry's location once we decide it in order to star off your RP experience. Sort of like the Doom Slayer's group in the Dead Zone back in the day? Then once we're done with the boss battle we can pull you into the group proper.

Sure we can do that until the boss fight is over. I will start making my character sheet for you to review.

[Eviledd1984]

Sorry to ask, but what level would I be when I first start?

@Eviledd1984

That's actually up to you. You can start your chosen character with as many abilities and skills as you want, and your starting level is the total number of abilities and skills you pick. The trade-off for starting off with more is that it will take longer to level up so your kit will be less flexible.

Harrier "Harry" Du Bois

Name: Harrier "Harry" Du Bois. Also known as Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau, Firewalker, and Tequila Sunset.

Origin: Disco Elysium

Appearance:



Harry is a tall man with a greasy, unkempt mullet and mutton chops. His face is red and swollen from years of alcohol consumption. His jaw is somewhat crooked with a deep dimple on his chin. Harry’s arms are pretty muscular, but he has a relatively large beer gut. Along with long chicken legs. His hands are heavily discoloured, and his hands have deep cuts and gashes from various bar fights. His face seemed to be stuck into a permanent smile. Also known as "The Expression."

Harry wears a green sports jacket and matching green alligator shoes. A white dress shirt with a horrible multi-coloured looking necktie. Brown slacks with a belt keeping them from falling.

Personality: Harry is usually quite erratic and wild cards. His behaviour is generally quite violent and without reason. His deep imagination causes him to daydream a lot and imagine multiple voices speaking to him. Being a cop, Harry is very detail-oriented and persistent when solving a case. Being an emotional mess, saying and doing things that are harmful to the people around him.

Harry thinks of himself as a lady’s man and a superstar. Making lascivious and lewd comments towards women. And putting up a front of being a macho tough guy. His mood can change rather quickly, going from happy to deeply depressed. Harry is overall very friendly and outgoing to other people.

Background:

Harrier Du Bois was born in Revachol. During a snowstorm, he was born on the ground floor of Revachol's Old Military Hospital. As a child, he suffered a bout of partial infantile paralysis caused by polio. Though he would, for the most part, physically recover from this condition, it gave him a permanent twinge in his jaw that affected the pronunciation of certain words. In his adolescence, Harry was a member of a street gang comprised of eight delinquents from Faubourg and North Jamrock, calling themselves The Fifteenth Indotribe. Harry is the only one who still lives among all the former members.

Harry's twenties coincided with "the New," a time of excess and opulence. This led to a new music genre, disco, of which Harry became a fan. He became especially fond of the Revacholian Disco superstar Guillaume Le Million, whose stage persona and mannerisms he would try to emulate, leading to him adopting The Expression.

Before joining the RCM, Harry was a high school gym teacher. While the two waited at a bus stop, he met Dora Ingerlund, his future fiancée. She inspired him to join the Revachol Citizens Militia at 26. Over his 18 years of service, Harry solved 216 cases. During a recent case titled "THE UNSOLVABLE CASE.” Harry had a drunken outburst where he rendered a man unable to walk after beating him with his ledger, and sometime before this, he missed a shot aimed at a fleeing suspect, who he hit in the pelvis, and physically held a woman in his apartment against her will. He is also generally known, feared and even suspected to be one of La Puta Madre's peones by the public. Harry's erratic behaviour drove off many former members of Precinct 41, including Guillaume Bevy. Still, he was not disciplined due to his otherwise exceptional work and was even offered a promotion (which he declined) during this period.

Approximately six years later, Dora left Harry and moved to Mirova. Sometime later, Harry purchased the horrific necktie, which he gradually started to project a hyperactive and self-destructive personality. Forgetting his problems by drinking heavily and heavy drug use. Before his investigation into a hanging, he had gotten blackout drunk the night before. His heavy drinking had caused Harry to have temporary amnesia.

On the third day of the investigation, he and Kim were confronted by a group of mercenaries. Harry and Kim, a bright light started to envelop them. Harry panicked, but his body couldn’t do anything but stand and watch the light consume him. At first, he thought he was dead, but as the light disappeared, he noticed he was alive but was in a strange place that wasn’t Revachol.

@Eviledd1984

In terms of abilities, are those all grounded in what he can do in-game? I don't know much about Disco Elysium but I know that the skill that gives him more insight into the city around him is called Whispers. Anything that's a passive or bonus is a Skill, Abilities are only actively usable powers. Your character cannot start with Spirits.

[Eviledd1984]

@Lugubrious

The abilities are based on the thought cabinets (Perks) that you can get in the game. I just adapted and tweaked them a little. Okay I've switched the abilities to the skills and removed the spirits.

Alright, looks good! Harry is accepted. Now we just need to spin up a little setting to start him in. I was thinking of one earlier today that I remember being solid, but I've since completely forgotten about it, I'll get back to you the moment I remember.

So, as I mentioned before, right now the entire crew is fighting the Dead Zone boss, the Gravemind. I'd say we're about 40% of the way through, maybe a little less, so it's going to be a good couple weeks before we move on. After that though, we'll probably split into 2 teams as usual and head toward different zones. It would be a good idea to put Harry in some sort of settlement that will be the first place a team stops in one of those zones. We can start the discussion in earnest about where we're headed after this opening act and that will help inform where you can start, if that makes sense. Would you like an invite to the Discord server to join in on the conversation?

[Eviledd1984]

@Lugubrious

Okay where would be a good zone to place Harry while the others are fighting the Gravemind? He could for the time being get his bearings and try to figure out what is going on. And sure can you DM me the discord server link thanks.

@Eviledd1984

We'll talk about it! Until he's freed from Galeem, he'll be acting as he normally would and unable to register what's wrong with this reality. Since there's probably going to be a quick break after the fight before we start the next mission, we can spitball ideas about a neutral area that suits Harry that we can visit in the interim. Maybe solve a little mystery.
