shred_rp
Player Name: Iddy
18+: Y
Opt-Outs: While I'm sure I'll encounter the occasional situational no, I don't have any across-the-board nos
Favored Horror/Torture Flavor: Psychological!!!
Traitor Opt-In?: N - but she radiates enough duplicitous energy that I'm very much looking forward to other characters suspecting her regardless!
Password: Pineapple
Name: Root (née Samantha Groves)
Age: Late thirties
Canon: Person of Interest
Canon Point: post-5x07, "QSO"
Personality Traits: (6 - 10 core traits.)
- Tenacious
- Ruthless
- Misanthropic
- Passionate
- An outside-the-box thinker
- A social chameleon
Fears: (4 - 6 fears.)
- That her lover, Sameen Shaw, will die in enemy captivity.
- That Shaw will simply never resurface either dead or alive, and she'll never get closure about what happened to her.
- That the Machine will be overwritten, compromised, or otherwise destroyed by their enemies.
- That she won't be able to protect her brainiac buddy Harold Finch.
- That she will lose her ability to talk to the Machine.
- That she will be unable to fulfill her duties as the Machine's Analog Interface.
Values: Intelligence, pragmatism, unconventionality.
Hope: To defeat Samaritan and win the AI war with the full team (particularly Finch, Shaw, and the Machine) intact.
Regret: Not having, at twelve years old, the respect or social power necessary to get any adult to listen to her when she witnessed her friend Hanna being abducted by a man who was trusted and well-liked in their small town.
Best Memory: Communicating directly with the Machine for the first time.
Worst Memory: Witnessing Shaw being gunned down by enemy agents.
Powers: Nothing supernatural; she's a bog-standard human.
Arrival Choice: Accept - she will sacrifice a pinkie finger (she'll angle for the one from her non-dominant hand, but if this isn't considered significant enough, she will accept the sacrifice of her dominant hand's pinkie).
Soul Weirdness?: She wishes, tbh (no)
