Application for Eddox

Player name or handle: Mawgs

RPG DW account (if separate): N/A

Character name: Umul Eddox

One-paragraph (100 words) summary of your character.

Eddox is a thirty year old alt from a low ranking Andan family of little importance with dreams of rebellion. They managed to graduate from Andan Academy through a series of bribes, false promises, sexual favors, and debts they hope to escape paying back. Charismatic and brash, they are as likely to appear the model Andan at one social event as they are likely to seem uncultured and crude at another. They care deeply about their large extended social circle, a group of talented misfits who society tends to shun due to their personal disabilities, lack of connections, or political beliefs.

NOTE: In the following section, limit your answers to up to 100 words per question.
===

How did your character first learn of the hexarchate?

They were born a citizen of the Hexarchate and have always lived within it.

Why did your character join this rebellion?

Discontent with the social order due to growing up poor and was radicalized as a teenager after seeing friends murdered as collateral damage from faction fighting and politics.

What type of role would your character play in a mission?

Eddox is flexible, more of a jack of all trades than a master of any specific skill. Like any good Andan, they can be charming and excel at diplomacy and have a particular skill with languages and relations with aliens. I can see them being a wheel greaser, honey pot, or just general distraction while the rest of the team carries out other aspects of a mission.

What kinds of missions would your character like to see? (e.g. spying, opportunities for romance, intrigue, diplomacy, etc.)

Diplomatic and romantic focused missions would suit them best. They are decent with spying, but usually revert to it only when pressed.

What is your character's secret dream or desire, the one they've never told anyone?

A trio of spouses, preferably all of different genders. They play off that they are not romantically inclined and that marriage is abhorrent because they are afraid they can never achieve one based on love, but it is very much their true desire.

How will your character die?

(NOTE: I will not kill your character unless you pre-arrange it with me, but I may put you in a dangerous situation based on this.)

If Eddox is to die, it would be while saving a friend, close ally, or a spouse. They can fall into the martyr role easily, less from desire for glory or for principle, but because they often see themself as the least valuable member of any given group. They would not throw themself into a dangerous situation without calculation, but they would sacrifice themself if it was reasonably likely their death would save others.

Does your character have any powers that the hexarchate would consider "exotic" (magical)?

An ability to generate visual color fields either projected on their torso or a flat surface near to them. They developed it both for fashion and as a short hand for emotions and short phrases in tandem with their native sign language. They often use it as a party trick, but it can also be used for coded speech and can be useful with dealing with certain alien species.

What do you (the player) enjoy most in an RPG?

Fancy parties with beautiful clothes, people, and venues and where someone will likely get shot. Opportunities for witty dialogue and to get to know other players characters more intimately. I am fine with action scenes and high tension, but my favorite scenes are more intimate and focus on information gathering and social puzzles.

You have 100 words to tell me anything else you want me and the other players to know about your character. Do it here.

Eddox is deaf, their left ear completely so and their right partially. They wear a gold and diamond studded hearing aid as jewelry and as an assistive device. They are proud of their body in its natural state, refusing surgery and modifications both to restore their hearing and for cosmetic or gender related work. They are reasonably attractive, but their demeanor and confidence is what truly wins them allies and lovers. They love designer clothing, gambling, visual arts, and music. They have ruddy brown skin, rust colored hair and brown eyes, in absolute contradiction to traditional Andan beauty standards.
