CONTACT/TEAM PREFERENCES

A comment separate from your app with your name, email, and team preferences. Making it a separate comment lets us keep it screened, thus keeping your team preferences private.

For the time zone field, feel free to make a note if working bizarre hours makes you effectively on a different time zone than stated.

"Team preferences" is a catch-all field for any thoughts you might have regarding your character's placement. For example, you might want a team that will put up with your character's sociopathy, or has a certain "feel" to it, or is friendly to your time zone, or maybe you don't think your character looks good in orange, and so on! This is also the spot to let us know if there are teams you DON'T want to be on. While you're not required to put anything here, don't say you have no preference unless you really, honestly have NOTHING to say on the subject! If you've already apped and realized you'd forgotten something? Make another comment!

Character Name: Garry
Canon: Ib (Horror Museum)
Reference Link: here is the wiki

Character History: Unfortunately, there isn't much background provided for Garry, but what we do know can be assumed through the experiences of the main character of the series, Ib. One day, Garry decided that he wanted to visit the Guertena art exhibit and while he was looking around, he suddenly found himself in a strange world made up of Guertena's art. Along the way, he stumbled upon a blue rose which happened to be a physical connection to his life. If that rose wilted, wounds would suddenly appear on his body so he had to make sure to take care of it. Well! He actually ends up getting attacked by one of Guertena's artworks which pretty much placed him into a near-death state. Luckily, Ib stumbled upon his body and helped to revive his rose to full health.

When he woke up and talked to Ib for a bit, he decided to stick with her and together, they would try to find a way out. They would soon meet another little girl named Mary who mentioned that she was also lost and she soon joined the party. However, during a time when the party was separated (with Ib and Mary together and Garry being alone), Garry found out that Mary was just another one of Guertena's artworks. He realized that Ib was in danger since she was alone with Mary and that he had to hurry and find them. Unfortunately, Mary soon discovered that Garry knew the truth and decided to get rid of him. Luckily he escaped with Ib before she could do any damage and the two of them ran away to quickly find a way out.

After a bit of exploring, they stumbled upon Mary's original picture frame. Mary caught up and realized that they were dangerously close to her picture and threatened to kill them if they didn't leave. When they weren't moving fast enough, she suddenly ran towards them which is when Ib ran towards the picture frame and set it on fire. The frame burned and the glass shattered which in turn destroyed Mary.

Afterwards, they found a way out and together, Ib and Garry made it back to the real world. They parted ways, but made a promise that they would eventually meet up again.

Personality: Garry is a genuine nice guy.

That seems like a pretty lame generalization for someone, but it really is the basic core of his personality. He is the type of guy that will go out of his way to make sure a complete stranger is alright even if he himself is in pain. But at the same time, if he is in pain, he will hide it from those around him to keep them all from worrying. Generally, he keeps an optimistic smile and will do things for others without expecting anything in return. He just really cares for people! And because of that, he can become really protective especially if the people he's watching over can't protect themselves (such as smaller children).

However, while he has moments where he can be considered brave, it doesn't mean he isn't a natural scaredy cat. He actually freaks out rather easily at scary things. Even things like weird-looking dolls will make him feel uncomfortable rather quickly. Of course he'll be quick to deny his freakouts, but his screams are kind of hard to miss. So yes, he gets surprised pretty easily!

Hilariously enough, you'd think his fear would leave him to be more careful, but he can actually be a bit impulsive. For example, only after a moment of suspicion, he quickly joins up with Ib and Mary without thinking of the consequences that could happen. There are also choices in the game where he can just kick creepy things over or into walls. Still, some of those actions comes from his soft-hearted nature and wanting to be protective.

Also there are two bonus facts that should probably be mentioned! In Japanese, he actually has a feminine speech pattern using pronouns that men don't normally use. He says it's good to have a more gentle speech pattern, but there isn't real background knowledge for why he prefers it however.

Also, he thinks macaroons are the bomb-diggity. Well, he likes them very much anyway.

Writing Sample:

01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?

Garry is fine really.

02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?

Are uniforms necessary? I don't think I really need them . . . Well, to answer your question, I guess I wouldn't say I would require to have socks, but I do think it would be useful to have them. More so if the shoes aren't very comfortable.

03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?

I guess those days where I'm just by myself. I've never really thought about it.

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?

. . .

It's a bit of a long story. I'm not sure if I'm comfortable talking about it. At least I can say that I'm not really dealing with that sort of thing now.

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?

. . .

I don't think I understand this question . . .

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?

I think if someone's unhappy, I would hope that I could be there for them if I can. I'm pretty sure I'd find something to do to help.

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?

A fork is probably best to eat cake with because it'd be pretty messy otherwise. Will there be cake afterwards? I hope so!

08. Do you trust yourself?

I believe that I can find a way if it's necessary. Those around me can't trust me if I can't trust myself, right? So I try to believe in myself whenever I can.

09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.

I'm pretty sure I haven't committed a crime that's worth mentioning. Though when I think about it, it could be said that I was involved with . . . some criminal-type affairs recently.

10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?

Yes, I do think so. There's this nice, little girl that I met recently and she's the kind of person that worries about those she cares about. But I really wouldn't want her to so I don't plan on disappearing anytime soon.
