Type: OU
Name: York
Canon: Red vs Blue
Canon point: Out of Mind, part 5
Age: mid-late 20s
Appearance: tall and muscular, olive toned skin, short gelled brown hair, right eye dark blue and left eye white with a red scar cutting from his eyebrow to mid-cheek straight through the eye, myriad other physical scars from fighting.
Personality:
- York is the most casual, social, and friendliest member of Project Freelancer.
- For the most part he gets along with everyone thanks to an easy demeanor, often joking with others and generally going with the flow of things.
- He’s highly adaptable, whether it’s due to the mission going sideways or his own personal well-being… despite the sudden injury that blinds his left eye he’s still ready for action again right away, not wasting time feeling sorry for himself.
- A critical thinker, often philosophizing about their situation and questioning the motivations behind Freelancer’s actions.
- He asks his confidant North just which side they’re actually on, a sideways expression of the fact that he wants to be one of the good guys.
- Willing to go against the people he cares for to do what he thinks is right, as is the case when he helps Tex attack the Mother of Invention to free the Alpha. Although he’s not willing to hurt the people he loves (Carolina), he’ll still fight for what he thinks is right.
- In a situation like the game where neither side has a clear moral superiority, he’ll be challenged constantly with knowing that he could be hurting good people.
- As his life goes to hell and he’s forced into hiding, he’s not above acts like stealing to survive. He’s not above revenge, either, as that’s one of his major reasons for helping Tex attack Wyoming and Omega.
- Sentimental and thoughtful, doing things like watching over Carolina and making frequent journal entries with his AI, Delta, to whom he’s deeply bonded.
Background/AU details: He has a comprehensive wikia!
Strengths & weaknesses:
✓ hand to hand combat
✓ knowledge and use of myriad firearms
✓ lock picking
✓ high speed driving
✓ pulling all nighters
✓ field dressing and wound assessment
✓ knife throwing
✓ keeping cool/good humor under pressure
✓ bedside manner
✓ resourcefulness and quick thinking
✓ loyalty
✕ Carolina
✕ blind on his left side
✕ overprotective to his own detriment
✕ mental instability due to Delta’s sudden ejection
✕ problems with authority due to being lied to for ages
Depowering/humanization: N/A, as the only things that could make York superhuman are his armor and Delta, neither of which he’ll have.
Placement preference: My only preference is that he be sided with castmates that might show up, especially if Carolina apps. It’s likely that he wouldn’t be willing to fight her for someone else’s war and it could cause problems. Which I am fine with playing out but—! It’s a thing that would probably happen.
Character goals: York will struggle terribly being without Delta, first and foremost. The ejection of an AI is traumatic to start with, and Delta has been his constant companion for many years. He’ll also be without the help of D and his armor when it comes to managing his left side blindness, a liability in battle that will shake his usually chill attitude. He’ll have to adapt to these things while struggling with the fact that he’s fighting someone else’s war and doesn’t know which side really ”should” win. He’d naturally seek out others who were thrown into the conflict without a history in the world but I’d like him to bond with the NPCs to strengthen his allegiance to the side he’s put on. He could be a strong leader if driven to help his side. (Again, if put on the opposite side of his former teammates, he’ll be challenged further and less likely to assist.)
