player name: Liv

bracket/prose: Either is fine, slight preference for prose.
backtagging: Yes please, though I'll admit it's tough for me if it gets over a month old. I might ask to handwave or wrap things up.
threadhopping: Knock yourself out.
fourthwalling: In Root's case she would find it entertaining, so go ahead.

not interested in: Hardcore body horror.
very interested in: Root's weird semi-religious relationship with technology and computers, found family themes, and getting to show her freaky ruthless streak whenever possible.

content warnings: Nope!

character: Root (Samantha Groves)
canon point: Post-canon
age: 38

physical affection: Extremely open. She's probably the one doing it, let's be real.
violence: Also extremely open and potentially the one doing it. Violence up to and including death is welcome.
relationships: Root is very non-traditional and freewheeling about her personal relationships. She rarely feels the need to define them and she's open to just about anything. Although she's intensely devoted to Shaw, Harold, and the Machine, she's essentially a relationship anarchist and will pursue whatever she's interested in. That includes sex or romance or strong platonic connections.

skills / abilities: In RPG stat terms she's highly skilled in intellectual, social, and shooting, with some additional skill in melee. Root is a great shot with a huge variety of guns, she is extremely comfortable with computers and an internationally renowned hacker, and she's socially skilled enough to manipulate people with ease. She has some basic survival skills but nothing substantial.

psychic info: Nothing of note. She's kind of a mild nutcase though so reading her mind is likely to be an interesting time.
magical info: Nothing of note.
physiological info: She's deaf in her right ear and has a cochlear implant she relies on to hear.

ic offensive subjects: General willingness to commit torture and murder, I guess. Insult the Machine or Harold to her at your own peril. Also her penchant for physics and math based philosophizing should probably carry a content warning.

>ARRIVAL

Root assumes she's dead at first. There's quite a few reasons to draw this conclusion: her clothes are bloody but the wounds under them are closed up, scarring nicely already; the sky is cascading colors across the night, not just an aurora but a whole spectacle of the universe; and she's stuck in a frozen hellscape with the wind whistling past her. She finds Bear just as her fingertips start to fully freeze and the two things together convince her she is not, in fact, dead, or at least not in any way that matters.

>SETTLED IN

She spends the next few days getting to grips with her surroundings, thankful she has Bear to talk to as she keeps up an occasional murmured stream of chatter. Root is a city girl but she grew up in a small town and she knows at least a few things. She has a knife and that lovely tactical shotgun she'd stolen off the police officer ages ago, though she quickly realizes she's going to need to conserve ammo, bad.
