Calamity.
your character wakes up in an elevator with no recollection of how they got there. looking around, they notice there's others with them, all stuck in the same position. there seems to be no way out. and if they have any abilities or powers, they won't work in any attempts to escape, either. they're stuck. stuck in an enclosed space, with a group of strangers, not knowing where they are, what the time period is, or what dimension they are even in. all they know, is they're probably gonna be here a while.
here's the sign ups! you can find more information about this thread over on the interest check where i've given a basic outline of what this thread is gonna entail! but the premise is simple: character wakes up in an elevator with no recollection of how they got there. they can't get out no matter what they attempt, and they aren't alone. the elevator is large enough to house roughly ten people, and tall enough for taller characters to remain comfortable.
i will react to accepted forms with a cookie! and will ask to you to make amendments if i think it would be neccesssary! ^^
but before all that, imma just share the rules!
to prevent things becoming out of hand, i will offer a warning to anyone who breaks a rule. repeatedly breaking the rules will result in you being removed from the thread.
now that's all the way, the character sheet is below!
Name: Five Hargreeves
Aliases/Nicknames: Number Five, The Boy.
Age: His consciousness is 58, his physical body is 13
Gender: Male
Fandom: The Umbrella Academy
Personality: Number Five is... Prickly, to say the least. He's aloof, emotionally detached, lacking in empathy. He cares only about his family, about keeping them safe. Nothing else matters to him outside of them. Emotions don't exist with Five, he pretends they don't exist, detaches himself from them almost entirely. He doesn't feel (or at least, tries not to), just thinks. His brain operates almost entirely on logic. Because of his disregard for the thoughts and feelings of others, Five is very much an asshole. He believes himself to be superior to others, frequently insults and has one HELL of an attitude. He's arrogant, overconfident and hostile. He has no fear of others, as far as he's concerned, they should be afraid of him. His behavior can be described as chaotic, even erratic. He doesn't care what others think. If they get in his way, the aftermath is on them. He does what he wants, when he wants, and how he wants. And he couldn't care less about what others have to say on the matter.
Despite all this, Five does care and he does feel. Insults and snark are a form of affection for him, although it can be hard to differentiate between love and hate for an outsider. He's got a lot of trauma, suffers from PTSD and doesn't know how to deal with it outside of simply repressing everything. Or, lashing out at anyone who dares even look in his direction. He's difficult to get to know, or even befriend. He has issues with trust and holds everyone at arms length, refusing to let them get close, and see any vulnerabilities he hides. Despite this, he can be a loyal ally, but only to those he deems worthy of his protection.
Five has a lot of issues, questionable morals and an overflowing ego. But he's a better person that he lets on.
Abilities/Powers: Space-time manipulation. Five's ability allows him to travel through space and time, granting him the power of teleportation. He can appear where he wants, when he wants. Although, continuous and extensive use of his powers can prove vexing, overuse of his abilities can exhaust him. He has also mastered the ability to travel back in time, via seconds, rather than hours or even days. This ability can essentially give him a "second chance", allowing for alteration of events just before they can play out.
Number Five's DNA has also been spliced with those of serial killers, and professional assassins of the past. This has turned him into what is essentially the best assassin in existence. During his time serving the Commission, Five never failed a single mark.
He's also displayed remarkable intelligence. And its safe to say his IQ is on the same level as most geniuses, if not higher.
Despite all this, Five's body is that of a 13 year old, and comes with most of the weaknesses of a body that age.
History (optional): To put it as simply as possible, Five was one of seven children adopted by Sir Reginald Hargreeves, children who were all born on the same day to mother's who had not previously been pregnant. He was raised alongside his siblings up until the age of 13, the age where he first attempted to time travel, ending up with him getting stuck in an apocalyptic future, completely alone. He lived in the apocalypse for over 40 years, growing into an old man, before eventually getting hired to work as a temporal assassin for an organization known as "The Commission", offering him a way to get back home in return for his service. Five served the commission for a while, killing whoever he was told to kill, be they innocents or not. He eventually made it back to the present, however, although he made a mistake in his calculations, and ended up stuck within his 13 year old body, despite being a 58 year old man.
Headcanons/Additional information (optional): -avoids his trauma by keeping himself busy.
-despite being the best assassin in time, five takes no joy from killing. he views it as a means of survival, nothing more.
-has a tattoo of an umbrella on his inner left forearm. also has a scar on his stomach from a shrapnel injury.
-functions on coffee and homicidal rage.
-was in a romantic relationship with a mannequin. her name is dolores and five loves her.
-feral. that's a fact.
-doesn't trust anyone, not even himself. he's always on edge. always suspicious.
-underweight due to poor self-care.
-still retains some.. habits, from his time spent in the apocalypse.
-chaotic neutral to the EXTREME.
-his family means everything to him, without his family, he'd be nothing.
-an "i'll sleep when i'm dead" kind of guy.
-will hide/ignore an injury until he literally passes out from blood loss.
-softer than he seems.
-has a death wish
-asexual and demiromantic.
-uses he/they pronouns cos the concept of gender does not matter to him he is literally a 58 year old child.and also cos im he/they and i said so lol

i will react to accepted forms with a cookie! and will ask to you to make amendments if i think it would be neccesssary! ^^
but before all that, imma just share the rules!
-try to at least be semi-advanced in your writing, and by that i mean at least one well written paragraph. this is gonna be an character driven thread, so the characters are gonna need stuff to respond to! that being said, quality over quantity is advised!
-keep all drama IN CHARACTER. drama out of character between rpers is prohibited, and should be handled calmly outside of the thread. let's all try to get along here, okay folks? ^^
-powerplaying and godmodding are also prohibited. no-one is allowed to control another players character. causing physical harm or killing another players character without their consent is also not allowed.
-please try not to make this too nonsensical? i know it's a rather cracky idea, BUT i would not like it to turn into a full crack thread.
-the main drive of this thread and plot is gonna be drama, so it is highly encouraged for you to interact with multiple characters and form relationships between them! there will be plot events to move things along and spice things up, but the main drive is gonna be the characters themselves. plotting will be highly advised for this reason!
-similarly, try not to leave anyone out? this is an elevator. everyone is in close proximity to another. it should be HARD to ignore others.
-overpowered characters MUST be balanced out with weaknesses of some kind. although this thread doesn't revolve around action, there might be a chance for characters to engage in brawls/fights. it would be unfair to another player if their character just got destroyed by an overpowered one.
-canon characters and ocs will be accepted. however, they need to have some sort of depth to them to prevent things from becoming too nonsensical.
-your character can NOT escape the elevator, even if they have some kind of power that would allow them to do so usually, it will NOT work here. similarly, no-one will have any items on them.
-if you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
