The Intolerable Clock: A Non-Canon Hexarchate RPG

May need reworking because I'm still arguing with words saying the things I want them to say, but --

Player name or handle: Rue / delight

RPG DW account (if separate): I am copycatting 'will create if/when approved.'

How can we get in touch with you? (email, DW messaging, other): DW messaging is fine! I don't mind joining chat-type things or giving out my email if asked, either.

Character name: Ione Camlin [Camlin is the family name, Ione her given name, so it'd be 'Camlin Ione' to most of the Rebellion]

One-paragraph (100 words) summary of your character.
Ione started out her adult life a physician training and working on a war-torn planet; over a hundred deaths in her arms were ninety-some too many and she ended up following an interdimensional peacekeeping organization off the planet as one of its agents. Years later, she is a capable combat medic spending more time on the 'combat' than on the 'medic' and really enjoys detonation from tiny fingertip-size bursts to blowing up buildings. Chatty, sociable people-person who tends to quickly endear people to her and prefers working in a team. She'd rather talk about everyone else than herself.


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

How did your character first learn of the hexarchate?
It's on file with HQ as an extant world, so likely in a class a while back -- the spontaneous rifts came to her higher-ups' attention recently. Ione drew the short straw, since there's no guarantee, based on the 'spontaneous' part, that the rift could be manipulated in order to bring her home again even if they were able to harness one to send her in.

Why did your character join this rebellion?
The people she works for would clearly see it as the best possible option when it comes to their organization's involvement in the hexarchate's general existence - improving things in other universes is kind of what they do. So far as she's been able to glean information, it seems logical to Ione as well. She has skills she can offer, and she might be stuck here forever, so here she is.

What type of role would your character play in a mission?
The distraction -- from shorting out a light source to blowing up a panel to shooting people with the poison darts she just made since toxicology was her favorite class in medical school. Or she'll just knock someone out with a conveniently-found heavy object. Diversions are her strongest point. That said, she's also capable of patching up injuries (sometimes also using conveniently found objects) at a higher level than simple first aid.

What kinds of missions would your character like to see?
Ione is biggest on either opportunities to blow things up/set things on fire or information-extracting spying, though she's also solid in a brawl. (Note that her player cannot write combat to save her life, so be nice to us.)

What is your character's secret dream or desire, the one they've never told anyone?
Primarily: to never, ever be alone. She'd love a permanent family and pets (the stranger the better) and maybe even children around, whether or not they are hers, but the highest order is having someone with her always so she never has only herself to bounce off of.

How will your character die?
A head injury she ignores for too long, allowing it to become much more serious than it initially may have seemed.

Does your character have any powers that the hexarchate would consider "exotic" (magical)?
Passive empathy. Ione is capable of reading feelings (NOT thoughts) when in physical contact with others. She's experienced enough that this ability is in off-mode by default and has to be consciously used -- unless someone is having such a strong burst of emotion that they're essentially breaking down her wall. This ability can be used against her, since certain extreme emotions would be incapacitating, hence the reason she's trained it enough to not be using it by default. It's not something she's likely to use unless told to (the mission leader will be informed of the ability in case it can be useful). It's "passive" because she can't use her touch of psionics to change others' emotions or overwhelm them with her own feelings.

What do you (the player) enjoy most in an RPG?
Character development and story advancement; I like all the surprises that come out of nowhere with people working together, and seeing what makes different characters tick, how everyone responds to things thrown at them, and where the connections in the group end up leading the story (as well as how relationships change).

You have 100 words to tell me anything else you want me and the other players to know about your character. Do it here.
Ione's apparent age (late 20s based on OOC standards) and bright personality really do not indicate the things she is capable of and she's very easily underestimated. She's both smarter and older than she looks! She is also very poor with mathematics and thus despite her intelligence will end up in over her head in situations that require knowing how to numbers. Despite being good at people Ione can also be needling and nosy and push too much.
