OOC PREFERENCES:
•CONTACT METHOD: Plurk/Discord at BBitsaboi
•THREAD-JACKING: Have fun, I don't care!
•FOURTH WALLING / CANON PUNCTURE: If you can convince me that your character would have read this obscure webcomic in 2018-2020, go for it. Other than that, eh. Not all that interested.
•BACKTAGGING: I am totally fine with this, but I usually will announce on Plurk when I’ve gotten overwhelmed and reach out to people if they feel like it would be appropriate to drop a thread and either discuss what would have happened if it continued or let it die.
•AVOIDED TOPICS: Naw, have at it!
•PREFERRED GENDER PRONOUN: He/Him
IC CHARACTERISTICS:
•CURRENT CANON POINT: Book 2, page 41
•PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Varker is a fit and trim well-dressed man in his fifties, though he tries his best to look 40 at most. His height is around average at 5'11" and he weighs about 180 pounds. He regularly attends to his appearance, manicured nails, coloring his hair, tailored clothing and these habits will continue but since he can't pay a professional for these services, mileage may vary as he figures out how to do these things on his own or finds someone to do them for him.
Varker regularly wears a beautiful Patek watch with an extra dial and discrete ear plugs that both filter out loud, high pitched noise and allow him to understand Audrey, the monster above his eyes. Tucked under his shirt is a simple silver chain with a gold wedding band on it, he is rather precious about it.
48 hours before arriving on board Varker was involuntarily experimented on, tortured and mutated in a way that drastically changed his appearance. His handsome face was split right at his brow, down to the tip of his nose and to the other brow to form a monstrous second mouth that has rows of sharp teeth and a lizard-like tongue that seems to have a mind of its own, constantly hissing and doing its own thing. Varkers skin from the base of his neck to the tips of his fingers and down to his toes have been altered in patches, instead covered in blackish-Grey scales with his nails naturally blackened, though he still does keep them nicely trimmed.
His eyes are blown out red with black slit pupils much like a lizard, and his own mouth has had the teeth and tongue changed to be like the second mouth on his forehead.
•DEMEANOR: Varker carries himself confidently when he feels safe enough, jumpy and reactive when he isn't. He can be incredibly charming, vain and charismatic but is having trouble finding that person from time to time now that his body isn't what its been for the last 50 or so years, completely unfamiliar.
Vanity and confidence have turned to insecurity and self-hatred and any mention of his new features or even looking at him in a way he deems questioning will result in verbal abuse up to physical violence depending on the transgression and how long it takes for someone to back down.
His habit of drinking is only going to get worse on the Barge, and paired with his self-healing even nerfed, constantly drinking to maintain some kind of buzz to numb some of the shit he is not dealing with is going to be a regular coping mechanism.
•ABILITIES:
Self-healing: Fast enough that a surgeon was not able to pull all of the rebar out of his body since his flesh knit itself together faster than they could work. At full capacity Varker is able to survive a disturbing amount of pain and that was entirely on purpose. It makes him practically unkillable and would allow him to regrow limbs and be immune to death by most fatal substances while still being conscious of the pain these kinds of injuries would bring. This is currently nerfed enough that he would be unable to sustain life after receiving normal fatal injuries for his own well-being. Wardens adjust this at your own risk
Second Mouth: it possesses a second sentience that is separate enough from his own that it isnt intelligent, but shares his emotional state. It generally is violently reactive, can stretch its tongue out impossibly and is strong enough to lift a full grown man off the ground.
Acid Spit: Varker's second mouth is capable of spitting acid. He is currently unaware of this, but it will be in his file. He would be completely disgusted by this ability and given its extremely harmful acid, this is currently nerfed. Wardens adjust this at your own risk.
Scientific Genius: Varker might be vain and full of himself but even the person who hates him most cant deny he was a prodigy and still is a genius. He was able to create a serum that resurrected and gave sentience to plant life in his early twenties just fucking around in his basement lab.
•MEDICAL INFORMATION: Varker's biology has been permanently altered via involuntary experimentation. He still bleeds red, but if you were to look at his brain, that second mouth of his is attached sort of like a symbiotic parasite. Removing it would likely kill him. He currently suffers from body dysmorphia due to this change and has a bit of a lisp speaking around his new teeth.
As mentioned above he is able to survive an inhuman amount of pain, and the mutation that was forced on him does actually cause him constant harm much like a chronic illness. Given the amount of physical pain that he has survived, it is something he is capable of tolerating and is unlikely to bring up, but it is there.
The traumatic events of the Varika Lab disaster have his mental health at all time lows. Self-harm and alcoholism will present as symptoms of this following the horrific deaths of all of his employees including his life-partner, Vice President Dr. Drohane. Intervention or supervision may be necessary following additional trauma on board.
•CABIN INFORMATION: level 2, cabin 10. Varker's door is a beautiful, heavy mahogany door with a gold stamped door label that says CEO Dr. Clement Varker and a matching gold handle. Inside is his fancy top floor office with a large desk set up, a wet bar to the side fully stocked with a ridiculous amount of high end alcohol and a small wine fridge that he claims was made smaller upon entering the Barge.
A plush settee makes up his bed, and there is a coat closet that will be repurposed for his clothing. Cat toys, fancy bowls, a water fountain, two cat trees, ridiculous cat beds and automatic litter box will prove that while Varker may be an asshole, he loves his purebred Ragdoll show cat, Her Royal Majesty, Princess Lullabee.
Currently, he is rooming with Norton Folgate in 309, has his own bedroom with an attached lab that looks exactly like his lab at Varika which is full of the best tech money can buy in 2019 for a scientific lab specializing in chemical engineering, manufacturing pharmaceuticals and independent study projects.
Almost all of Lullabee's cat furniture has been transferred to Norton's cabin and is the most obvious show that Varker absolutely lives there.
•OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Varker's monstrous appearance, homophobia, mentions of loss, grief or death are all things that will probably set him off. Blaming or accusing him for things he may or may not have done will also be a no subject and while not discouraged, be aware that he is not mentally stable enough to care about holding his temper or not being violent.
IC PERMISSIONS:
•MENTAL: He will absolutely hate this. It will also probably trigger him pretty badly. Do not attempt unless necessary or intentionally causing harm. - DM for plotting
•MIMICRY: He will also dislike this but not as much as the previous
•VIOLENCE: Varker is probably going to start fights himself. Please be communicative so we can make sure we're both still having fun!
•MAGIC: science is better in his humble opinion. Go for it, though obviously given his trauma maybe ask before attempting.
•DEBATE: oh god, he'd love to. Please talk to him, he adores the sound of his own voice.
•OTHER / NOTES: high pitched noises like dog whistles will set Varker off in a violent, uncontrollable rage.
