NextGen Application (Canon and OC)
Player (nickname, handle)/ LJ: Dylan
Email: on-file
AIM (if you have one): likewise
Character Name: Lindsey Majors
Character LJ (if applicable):
Physical description (face, build, weight): Lindsey appears, to be an attractive woman in her late twenties. But even this is truly a lie, for there is something decidedly artificial about her… especially her eyes. The rest of her is also clearly artificial, more like a doll than a person, with visible joins and seams; when working her systems to their fullest, green circuit and gear patterns can be seen underneath her “skin”.
Age: 27
Birthday: February 7
Codename (if using one): Doll-Woman
PB: (If using one.) Zooey Deschanel
Abilities: Lindsey’s body in entirely robotic, and as such offers her great strength (though below Kryptonian levels), durability, and speed. She can magnetize her feet to scale metal walls, and contains an assortment of small tools (like a buzzsaw and drill) built into her fingertips. Her vision and hearing are several times greater than that of a human. Her eyes act as cameras, recording and transmitting everything they see.
Weaknesses and flaws: As a robot, Lidnsey is subject to magnetism and electromagnetic effects, and requires recharging of her power source. While well protected, the remains of her human body inside the rest of her are a major weak point in endangered. Her own hatred of her condition often puts her into a deep depression.
Cadmus itself has the ability to remotely deactivate her, though she does not know this.
Character location/Home: Cadmus Labs
Alignment (villain, hero etc): more or less Hero
Team: Doom Patrol
Relatives (living/dead?): Austin Majors (husband, alive), Steve Majors (son, alive), Jamie Majors (daughter, alive)
Backstory: A cheerleader in high school, Lindsey fell in love with and dated the star of the high school football team, Austin Majors. They continued to date throughout college and married shortly after. Lindsey became a reporter for the local paper, while Austin started a sporting goods store, that he was able to expand and franchise out after two years. Along the way, they had two children, Steve and Jamie.
Shortly after her twenty-sixth birthday, Lindsey began covering science-related topics for the paper, occasionally authoring editorials in addition. Not long after this… she was in a terrible car accident with a Cadmus Labs truck transporting dangerous materials. Her family was told she had died. They received a very generous settlement in exchange for not suing and Cadmus being able to deny responsibility for the event.
Lindsey, in fact, did not die. Instead, she was simply very badly injured. Most of her skin was burned and many of her organs were otherwise ruined. What was left was taken by Cadmus and dipped into an experimental nanite solution and used as the core of a mold for a new type of robotic body. While she was still somewhat recognizable as herself at the end of the process… it was much more like seeing a doll version of herself. Cadmus promises one day they will prefect the process and return her to normal, but this is far from the truth.
Lidnsey, meanwhile, knows her family thinks she is dead, but cannot bring herself to correct the situation until she feels human enough to be a wife and mother again.
With nothing else left in her life, the Cadmus director (or is he? She’s never been sure of his title) Niles Caulder, otherwise known as the Chief, has extended the opportunity to her to be a part of the new Doom Patrol, cleaning up other Cadmus messes…
How do you plan to introduce the character to the game?: I’d like to go with the DP as having already formed sometime off-screen, with just never having been seen in-game. They’ll have a mission they’ll be going out on for their first plot.
What are you planning to do with this character? I’ve got a long term (for the DP) plot ready to go with the nature and origins of their freakiness (mentioned in the pitch)
What do you want to see happen with this character?: Slowly rediscovering her humanity, bonding with the other DP members, and, of course, dealing with the massive fallout from the eventual revelations.
Please include a sample post/scene
