Ricky "Jupe" Park | Nope
Player name: Carolyn
Player pronouns: she/her
Contact(s):
Time Zone: US Central
Tagging habits/tagging speed: HA HA HA well right now nonexistent (see: writing plotting comments at 6 am), but after the holidays I should be back to tagging around once a day during the week and more frequently on weekends—I try to prioritize plot-heavy or emotionally fraught threads and like to set aside chunks of time to move those threads along. Also totally open to hashing things out ooc if we run out of time!
Favorite types of characters to write against: I loooooooooooove tension, characters with strong beliefs, and characters being passionately wrong about things (I especially love arguments where both characters are wrong in some way). Culture clashes and differences in perspective are also my jam. Also characters who are Just Weird (particularly with Jupe, since if anyone else is watching he'll feel compelled to pretend they're being normal).
Character Name: Ricky “Jupe” Park
Character Age: 35 (now that I've read the script)
Canon: Nope
Canonpoint: After the final Star Lasso Experience 😃
1 paragraph summary of character/canon:
“Family” members: His “wife,” Maureen. Live (?) love (?) laugh (that one he can manage)
Possible non-event hooks:
- He died! Whoops! (And also got a bunch of other people killed in the process.) He's extremely unlikely to bring this up—he won't even want to think about it—but he'll be on the lookout for anyone who might have met the same fate as him, or who might also be dead (i.e. showing up with obvious injuries, being in shock, uh, talking about being dead also works...).
- This is ridiculous, but Jupe has been some degree of famous since he was 11 and will be weirded out that absolutely nobody seems to know who he is. (And further weirded out when they haven't heard of most of the crappy shows and movies he's been in.) Eventually the implications of this will sink in and he may try to start keeping facets of his life to himself (WHAT A NOVEL CONCEPT), but prior to that he's liable to just rattle off shit about himself like it's his job, enjoy.
- He'll be doing his best to blend in so lmao please mistake him for an NPC (though being Korean-American may be something of a tell...). Relatedly, if your char is sticking out like a sore thumb he will try to get them to KNOCK IT OFF.
- Y'all are at the library? He will be WATCHING TV and trying to glean clues from what's on the air.
What are they up to in Sweetwater? Outwardly: treating this like a sitcom! He'll be taking his cues from the locals and filling in the blanks with shit he's picked up from TV. (Feel free to assume your char's seen/endured him making sitcom-dad-level corny jokes, or witnessed him “yes, and”ing setting-related weirdness.) He'll assume—because his brain is broken—there's an audience for this somewhere, so he'll be trying not to make any waves. (And honestly, treating it like a sitcom will help him cope.)
On the sly: Climbing on the roof at least once, trying to track down a telescope, surreptitiously keeping track of lost pet posters, searching his house for hidden rooms (he has one at home!), looking for evidence of a crew/film equipment...you know...
He's not super analytical, but he'll probably low-key develop a theory that the nuclear panic is a cover for some kind of alien presence and will be very interested in checking out people's bomb shelters and finding a way to monitor the sky. I mean, cultivating his budding interest in amateur astronomy.
Most Desired CR: Jupe is putting on an act like...all the time (and sometimes isn't even aware of it), so I'd love any kind of CR that rubs up against that—whether it's dragging him into ~subversive~ activities, gentle prodding to figure out what's going on with him, or just thinking he's kind of off. He's pretty personable and tries to be easy to get along with—obviously I don't mind if he's successful! But he also tends to be passive/reactive, so ideal CR would shake him out of that in some way (and I'm extremely fine with him being bossed around). His sense of self is [file not found], so I'd love to play him off both chars who are very secure in who they are and people struggling with similar issues!
Undesired CR: Nothing at the moment!
Any threads you really want to play out? RL came at me hard during the TDM, so I'd love to play out initial reactions (happy to hit up old top-levels or write my own starters if people are game!). Anyone who meets Jupe right away will probably get a very different impression of him than someone encountering him later.

If you're game, I'd be jazzed to hit up your TDM or vice versa for a Game Canonical meet and greet. I'm stuck in the year end vortex, so maybe by the time you're free I'll also be.
(sidenote: I'm so excited to get to write with you it's been 100 years.)
no subject
(also he will attempt to use whatever pet they end up with as alien bait)(unless you don't want a pet, totally fine with me!)
AND HELL YEAH, I might just hit you up since lol I don't have a top-level at the moment. It might be a day or two since I'M RIGHT THERE IN THE VORTEX WITH YOU*
*going on a nice hike with my family tomorrow and drinking heavily
(AND SAME!!! SO THRILLED WE GET TO BE FAKE HUSBAND AND WIFE)
no subject
(household pet resoundingly approved for the bit. My impulse is dog? Lassie............)
AND SOUNDS GREAT. Good luck escaping the vortex*!
*have a great time
no subject
Margaret is pretty passionate about being wrong about. Well. The time period that this game takes place in. So that could be a point we can riff off. I also have a guy who died (Numbers) so maybe that's something worth exploring too???
no subject
THAT WOULD BE RAD, I could see him mistaking her for an NPC at first and trying to, like, mirror her opinions/do some research on the time period on the DL and her being like "what the hell." (He's also gonna feel PRETTY WEIRD about people talking about "the war in Korea" all the time.)
And yes please! If Numbers will be doing some investigating I can try to figure out a clue or two to drop his way (or if he's just gonna be openly talking about it Jupe'll try to subtly inquire/learn more about him).
no subject
But it's probably pretty easy to assume Edward's done his dumb mini social experiments around town and would benefit from a Thoroughly Normal and Upstanding member of the community around to tell him when it may perhaps really be time to reel it the fuck in.
Will also give you five whole dollars to pass along that living sitcom / alien theory, feed his conspiracy brain.....
no subject
HE MAY HAVE TO GET THAT INFO FROM THE MRS. (Maureen) BUT I'M SURE IT CAN BE ARRANGED. Or they can awkwardly bump into each other during an air raid drill...
no subject
no subject
And I'm excited to see how they get along! He doesn't have to deal with a lot of caustic people (lmao without someone running interference...), so it should be interesting.
