Name: John Crichton
Canon: Farscape
Blurp: A scientist-astronaut turned reluctant space adventurer after being displaced by a wormhole during a test flight. Hooked up with a bunch of escaped alien prisoners who are now his buds and found family. He's held onto his sanity by a thread spun almost entirely from pop culture references. Empathetic when circumstance allows, willing to do some murder when it doesn't, smart without having all the answers, pragmatic without being ruthless. Can be extremely cagey and distrusting because his trauma has trauma. Will come off totally insane at times in a Bugs Bunny, Riggs from Lethal Weapon kind of way.
Will probably think the panfandom is a simulation meant to break his mind and will at first before realizing it's not because that's just a thing that happens to him sometimes.
Depending on what the mods say, may have a copy of a villain with a leather fetish in his head as the Venom to his Eddie Brock. This pretty much won't effect anything other than making it clear he's talking to someone that's not there, which will surely make it easier to attract friends.
Vessel Type & General ideas:
Vessel Type: Leaning towards Chronomancer or Bloodwright. The former because it allows for manipulating a bit of foundational reality and the ability to do that in another way besides wormholes would be terrifying, given his enemies would love to use him for that if he gets home.
The latter because bleeding out while trying to help people fits his vibe and he's an astrophysicist: he never expected to have blood on his hands.
General Ideas: The man's going to go through so many stages of grief over being lost in dimensions now after being lost in space, starting with him being in denial and probably treating the whole situation like he thinks he's in the Matrix at first. He's had two other instances of being stuck in simulatious meant to gather info or break him. Then when he realizes he's really lost in another dimension he's going to be hysterically devastated.
After that, he'll need to make some friends fast before he winds up writing wormhole equations on the walls. Fortunately, he's good at making friends and is a good emotional support human. John is a very social animal, generally empathetic to others, forgiving (to a point), and extremely good at accepting alien and weird. Somehow manages to be a good moral compass to others even when he wants to shove a enemy's face in acid. While he might be cagey at first, if someone earns his trust, he's incredibly ride or die.
Looking to have him make friends and found family, enemies (he's good at making those), and frenemies (also good at those too). Would love for him to have to deal with more people willing to mess with his brain. Probably no shipping beyond anything casual, though, as he's down bad for a castmate.
