Canon Link: (Link to your character's history/canon, i.e. wikipedia articles/informative fansites/etc.. If it's a particularly obscure canon with very little information available, you may write your own section to give us an overview of your character's history and world background.)

Characters of all ages are allowed, though we request that if a character is under the age of 10, you fill out an additional section detailing their suitability for living in a post-apocalyptic world.) Character Suitability: (For characters under the age of 10 only. We need to know why the Caretakers would think such a young child would be strong enough to survive a zombie-infested earth and help to rebuild the world.) Personality: (The meat of the app. Tell to us your character's motivations, their likes and dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, relationships, and anything else you think is important in letting us know what makes them tick. A bunch of words doesn't always mean a good application, and we won't ask for an college essay, but we do require that this section be at least 350 words long, to show us you know what you're talking about and can elaborate appropriately.) Powers & Abilities: (Briefly describe any supernatural powers or abilities your characters may have i.e. healing spells, super strength, teleportation.

Darcy Lewis | MCU | Reserved
Name: Stacey
Age: 25
Ways to contact: thepenguinred - plurk and aim
Characters currently played: NA
Character Info;
Character Name:Darcy Lewis
Canon Link: Wiki!
Canon Point: Post Thor, before the Avengers
Character Age: Not stated in canon. I’ll go with 22
Character Suitability: NA
Personality:
Darcy is the is more or less one of the ‘straight men’ to the whole wacky world that is the Marvel Universe. Rather than having a heroic quest like Thor, or a deep love for exploring the unknown and finding sci-fi wonders like wormholes like Jane, or even suffering from a boat load of daddy issues like Loki, Darcy is just along for the ride. She’s only working on this project for some college credits, and is the first to state that maybe picking up the crazy man that fell out of a dust storm in the middle of the dessert isn’t such a good idea, even if it is for science. Really, of all the people in the film Darcy is very likely the most grounded, simply taking the punches as they come and doing what she can, in her own way, to handle all these insane events without getting too carried away in the drama or romance.
That doesn’t mean she does so stoically, however. Sarcasm is Darcy’s coping mechanism of choice, and her dead-pan humor doesn’t seem to have an off switch, even when she is visibly disturbed by what is going on around her. Hit a guy in the dessert? Comment how it was technically Jane’s fault. Have this guy claim he’s a god and watch him smash coffee cups? Take a picture of him eating a mountain of pancakes for Facebook. Have the government steal the life work of your boss? Throw in how they took your Ipod. No matter what it is, Darcy had the sanity reserves to face it with a dry wit and raised eyebrow. Which all means, basically, that Darcy doesn’t tend to take things too seriously unless it’s life and death, at which point she does become visibly rattled, but still does what is asked of her to help those around her (like save a puppy while Loki tried to murder Thor in front of her).
While she’s generally easy going and seems to get along with just about anyone (though if they don’t appreciate her MST3K commentary on life, that’s their problem), Darcy seems content to be a bit of a loner. She’s out in the middle of nowhere with just her bosses, after all, and doesn’t appear to have made many, if any, friends with the people in the town they’ve set up shop in, preferring just to work and hang out with her bad self in the meantime. All this shows her as more of a reactionary character than an active one, as she’s fine with people coming to her, and will (with only minor bitching) go along with mad plans and schemes, but is happier with someone else instigating them. Though this, of course, doesn’t stop her from speaking her mind on any topic at hand. Complaining about a problem and taking steps to fix it are two totally different things, after all.
Powers & Abilities: Using a taser? Seriously, she’s just a normal American girl with some basic self-defense and CPR under her belt. Also a political science major.
Items on their Person: Her taser and her normal outfit.
Samples; (All samples must be set in the game's universe)
First Person Sample:
[The voice that comes over the line is more than slightly freaking the hell out, but is trying to keep the shaky quality of her voice under control as she begins to ramble.]
Okay. So. Like, when exactly did I sign my life away to the Freaky Friday for Life club? Six credits. I only needed six science credits, and my gen reqs would be done. So I go live in the desert for the summer, whatever. Snoresville, right? Uh, no. Aliens, sci-fi specials, shadowy government people in suits...now this? Really? My philosophy and what the fuck creds are all filled up, I promise. Just slip me back in the crazy machine and I won’t mention it again. No kidnapping charges, no suits for emotional trauma, zip. Just send me home.
...Please?
Third Person Sample:
The sad thing was she’d planned for this. Not the ‘your life was just The Truman Show to the max, sux2bu lollercopter’ part. Be real, who even wanted to think about some old sleazy dude watching your emotional distress for his fun and jollies? Or worse in her case, in her very personal opinion, turning out to just be a sidekick in someone else’s epic story. She bet her character didn’t even get name dropped in the sequel. Lame. So. No. She didn’t plan for that.
The zombie apocalypse thing, though? Lady please. She’d grown up in the good old US of A when 28 Days later was a smash (and not just because of Cillian peen, no matter what anyone may say). She owned a copy of both How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse and How to Survive a Horror Movie. Discussions over shotguns vs sniper rifles vs machetes had been had and had until the vodka ran out. Darcy had figured she had this down.
Until actually showing up in one. Then? Hoo-boy. Like they said, life just wasn’t like the movies. And not only because (shock, gasp, awe) it turned out to be impossible to keep your hair perfectly light and curled and eyeliner in place when living in the middle of no-man’s land. Liberal interpretation of events were allowed in love, war, and the coming of the undead in film, she guessed. The real thing blew. It didn’t matter how cleverly she’d planned on using duct tape to secure herself to the ceiling (zombies never did seem that good at looking up, anyone else notice?), because it turned out that (sorry Republicans, wrong again) duct tape was a way more precious resource than gold when civilization bit the big one. And the whole lawn mower shtick wasn’t half as effective without a) gas, and b) some crazy upper body strength and endurance. Thor might be able to pull it off. For her? It was a life of hiding behind the guy with the biggest gun and hoping for the best.
Well, at least she had good practice at playing the smart-ass sidekick. That had to count for something in the end times.
