▶ Character Name & Series. John Sheppard | Stargate Atlantis ▶ Character Age. 39 thanks to in-game time ▶ Photo Reference.This sums up his life ▶ Permissions.Permissions are here! ▶ Personality Blurb. COPY/PASTE: John Sheppard is fuelled entirely by over-styled hair, 80s and 90s pop culture references, ego and machismo. Yet equally, he is a contradiction. He puts up a front of laziness and disinterest, yet John regularly goes above and beyond what is required him to the point of recklessness in an effort to keep people safe. He cares a lot, is invested in the safety of everyone in Atlantis, feels personally responsible for every mistake and loss. He's smarter than he lets on, keeps emotions boiling under the surface, hurts more than he will ever easily admit and values the lives of his friends far above his own. If you want someone who can do complex math problems, name everyone who played Catwoman and yet also annihilate all of your enemies he is your guy. ▶ Desired CR. - More people for John to argue with. He loves to bicker, either friendly bickering or angry bickering -- anything works! Bickering is how John Sheppard makes friends - More friends to hang out with! John tends to be easy going but he can come across awkward and defensive sometimes (often). If your character can tolerate his stubbornness and deflection please do come hang out with him! He needs people to go have a drink with. - Space adventure folk! Come talk to him about space he love space, and this storm event is a good space-adventure-folk discussion point - Military folk! John is a soldiery sort, he likes fellow soldiers. Although he also hates following orders he doesn't agree with? So this is an opportunity for positive OR negative CR, depending on the character! - Grumpy people! John loves to ignore how grumpy you are and carry on regardless, which you can either interpret as tolerance or a tendency to be irritating. Again, good or... bad? - Nosy people! He is so nosy you have no idea, he needs to learn everything. Come investigate and gossip with him about if Magda and Nurray had a bad breakup or if an NPC is up to something or begin developing a new conspiracy theory. - In general, close CR! John needs people who will come find him and talk him down when he decides to handle a problem by locking it away and pretending it doesn't exist. Even if you just hang out and let him talk at length about literally every other possible topic but the problem (this is very likely). ▶ Offered CR. - Do you want to be enabled into bad ideas? John loves bad ideas, and he doesn't think about them for long enough to feel regrets. Please join him in bad idea land! - Do you want to learn about weird space things? John has experience with aliens, hyperdrives, time travel, alternate realities and everything between! Wow, for once he has event-relevant experience! - Do you want someone to fight/go on runs with? John has normal human level strength/stamina but he's military tough and happy to train with you or (alternatively) be beaten by you into the ground because he's good but he isn't super-human. - Do you love pop culture and bad jokes? Boy oh boy do I have the guy for you, he's full of bad references and loves comic books! - Do you want to tease someone who will flinch and get defensive? AGAIN, boy do I have the character for you! Don't tug at his clothes!! - Do you want to flirt with someone? John flirts 24/7. Do note, though, that his love life is already a slow, awkward car-crash in motion. - Do you want to learn more about the storm? I mean uh, he can try and explain but he doesn't know a lot. - Do you like dogs? He has a dog! ▶ Event Plans. John will be swapping between Olympia and the station to try and understand HOW BAD THIS IS. I guess we don't know enough to what actions they can take yet (once the sign ups come!!) but he will be doing his best to put his SPACE-FARING DISASTER-AVERTING KNOWLEDGE TO USE.
He'll also head down to Nadril when people are called up!
If you want to theorise about SPACE DISASTERS with him, hit me up! If you want SPACE DISASTERS EXPLAINED, I can do that! If you want to just flail about STORMS and NOT REALLY BE REASSURED I can do that too. John tries but y'know, he's not always very reassuring.
