helly r. (lester) — severance

[perceptual]

Player name: bobby
Player pronouns: they/them
Contact(s): crowders, PM here, or ask for my disco
Time Zone: GMT/GMT+1
Tagging habits/tagging speed: i'm a fairly sporadic tagger and i don't really have a set schedule. i'm definitely a little on the slow side but i'm really desperate to get back into RP in a big way right now so i hope to be able to boomerang!
Favorite types of characters to write against: OOH. i love characters who are Funny bc i love to engage in a bit of banter and silliness, and also characters who are a little off kilter and weird and don't really try to fit in.

Character Name: Helly R. / Helly Lester for the sake of the game
Character Age: 30
Canon: Severance
Canonpoint: Post-S1 finale (if you know you know)
1 paragraph summary of character/canon: Helly, an employee at Lumon Industries, works in the Macrodata Refinement department, where a surgical procedure called 'severance' has separated her memories between work and personal life. Her access to memories is limited by physical location, preventing her from recalling outside experiences on Lumon's basement floor, or retaining work memories outside the basement. Helly feels effectively trapped at work, wanting to quit but unable to do so due to her outie, the version of her who opted for the procedure and lives a life outside Lumon's walls. Helly hates working at Lumon, and will do literally anything she can to get out – but if her 'outie' quits, the version of Helly that has only known Lumon will cease to exist. This matters little to Helly, who is determined to get out at absolutely any cost.
“Family” members: ~Married~ to Arthur Lester (lestercraft)
Possible non-event hooks: Helly is going to be kicking up a fuss from the beginning because she thinks this whole place is just a Lumon simulation to punish her for [mumblemumble season one finale reasons that I don't want to share in case anyone hasn't seen the show bc you should watch the show]. She will definitely also want to get to know as many people as possible and figure out who she can form some alliances with, so she might be knocking on people's doors trying to scope everyone out.
What are they up to in Sweetwater? Being A Huge Nuisance, absolutely. Someone should probably tell her to kick it down a notch before she gets herself in serious trouble.

Most Desired CR: FRIENDS, please give her some friends, all she really has is colleagues that she accidentally forged unbreakable bonds with but she would really like to have some friends whose houses she can just crash for the sake of it. People to introduce her to things she's never really experienced before – for example, her food palate is VERY limited because of the limitations put on her at work, so there's a lot of food she simply hasn't tried before. I also want her to meet people who are equally suspicious of this place (I assume that's everyone, but Helly will be particularly feral about it, so anyone who can match her intensity would be great). I'm also very open to negative CR if things go that way – I love playing out arguments tbh. I don't mind if 'disliking each other' is the endpoint for our characters as long as it's fun for both of us to play as writers, but I'm happy to work towards something more amicable if they got off to a bad start but you'd prefer them to be friends at some point!
Undesired CR: nada!
Any threads you really want to play out? I would looooove for her to get to know everyone in the game through knocking on doors – it's rare to be in a game with this few characters, so I think it's totally feasible for her to have at least a little conversation with everyone.

runs over here...I got sooo excited when I saw helly on the TDM. i still haven't gotten around to watching severance but my friends are obsessed with helly so i know Of Her. it's nice to meet you, i'd love for maybe helly and margaret to connect in some way...though, knowing their personalities, i feel like they'd either be best buddies or at each other's throats

[perceptual]

omg PLEASEEE i am such a margaret houlihan fan and i'm so excited that you've brought her here!! i'd absolutely love for them to meet and i'm genuinely so interested to see how they get along! 👀

[inaxorable]

Might I offer you one (1) Feral Russian to go with your Feral Helly? Raskolnikov is very suspicious of this place, and he would love* to hang out with someone who feels the same.

*as much as a guy like this is capable of enjoying company, that is.

[perceptual]

yes absolutely we must throw these two ferals together to theorize suspiciously about this weird place, i feel like helly will definitely appreciate his intensity!

[coefficiently]

I fell down on the tdm during the holidays, but SO thrilled to see Helly around.

Maureen's going to be Intense about the situation in what I suspect is just slightly different enough from Helly's own to be interesting/complimentary. Would love to throw them at one another and see how much trouble they can get up to.

[perceptual]

yes absolutely!!! i'm very curious to see how they'll approach the situation, it could be a case of their differing approaches working well together or they might get in each other's way WHO CAN SAY

[carniravenous]

I would love for Helly to explain her "this is all a simulation" theory to Sokka at some point because I feel like that's a thought-exercise he can get behind. Also I'm not sure what she's eaten in canon but he can potentially regale her with his love of all things meat...

[perceptual]

yes pls!!! conspiracy theorising over Meat is the ultimate goal tbh

[yupe]

HELLO THERE I'm canonblind but super intrigued and I think Helly and Jupe could have really fascinating CR--two people who basically have no private life! And react to it in totally different ways!

He's also good to attempt to rein her in but lol kind of a pushover, so he won't necessarily succeed.

[perceptual]

AHHH honestly i was so excited to see jupe on the taken list because i loved him SO much in nope so i'm so glad he's here! what a fun character for this setting too omg. i'm VERY excited to throw them at each other bc his life experience will be so completely foreign to helly ahdkfhgds i'm so excited for jupe :')

[frauseufzen]

I love Helly!! Please knock on the Raskolnikov door and get loomed at. Gently.

[perceptual]

omg yes i would love for helly to be loomed at adkfghjksd she's going to be so disarmed
