CHARACTER INFO
Character: Cyrus Douglas Canon: the Mycroft Holmes series by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (yea THAT kareem) and Anna Waterhouse; he comes from the beginning of book 3, Mycroft and Sherlock: The Empty Birdcage Armada: Paladin
About: Tl;dr - Douglas is the Watson analogue to the elder Holmes brother! He's 43, originally from Trinidad, and a former sailor turned owner of a tobacco shop AND boys shelter. He's an unfailingly kind and modest man, much preferring to let others take the spotlight while he fades into the background, but he's actually very smart and capable in his own right. He's a big literature nerd, a decent fighter (ask him about the capoeira!), and a steadfast and mature friend to have around. Also he actually knows how boats work, he's got your back on all the sailing stuff guys. :|b You will probably see him hovering around Mycroft Holmes because they're insufferable.
app & additional info; please also check out his permissions, although i'll never bring anything up unprompted his canon does touch some sensitive subject matter.
Abilities: He can kick his leg real high in the air and if you're in trouble he can do a killer Dad Voice. That's it, he doesn't trust magic enough yet to even think about using it himself.
PLANS
General: Mostly just looking to hammer out some CR and make some more friends (or enemies if you're nasty?!) He's settled into the crew of the Raiders of the Lost Arc and is taking it easy while he's here, so I really want him to continue making connections. I also have a long-term goal of him finding a magical cure to the injury to his heart: he has some bullet fragments in there that are too close and dangerous to remove, maybe even by modern medicine. I would love to spend the next few months warming him up to it as a possibility and finally doing it, so if anyone wants in on that!!!
Also there's an alternate universe version of his best friend's baby brother here now, what is up with that... please hold on how that castmate-not-castmate drama is going to affect him
MANTA Board: He is on 2 truths and a lie! Other than that, I don't have plans, but I am potentially open to all of them, local man can and will be dragged into your nonsense. Event: I'm playing FAST AND LOOSE with crabs island so I'm probably gonna tag out and see what happens??? But I could be convinced into writing custom starters.
CR Dreams: - CR that is a bunch of old guys drinking and complaining ("old" and "guy" need not necessarily apply as long as you've got the spirit) - other Victorians, this is crazy to you guys too right?!?! - characters from hysterically mismatched canons to weird out the Victorian, come bewilder him with far future scifi and magic and stuff - Weirdoes to drag him around doing freak shit. Don't worry he loves shenanigans but like secretly. - That but with weirdo young people, I love the 'ace attorney normal guy and weirdgirl sidekick' dynamic and he's such a straight man that he is PRIME for it - Nerds who will talk to him about literature/philosophy/other things I will be forced to look up for threads lmaooo - ik it's a copout but honestly anything while i try to get him more settled!
Etc.: I love book canons but i never have relevant canon memes to share cries. instead i offer you crab. also im sorry if any of this is not legible i just took a melatonin,,,
