Oscar | Alan Wake

Player Name: Oscar
Player Pronouns: He/him/they/them
Player Timezone: PST/PDT

Character Name: Alan Wake
Character Canon/Canon Point: Remedy Connected Universe: Alan Wake, Alan Wake's American Nightmare, and Control / Post-AWE DLC of Control
Where to they live? Bird Leg Cabin
Where do they work? Snowflurry Avenue Books, if approved

Other than those places, where can they be found? Anywhere that books and/or coffee are sold, occasionally at the hardware store getting supplies to fix up the cabin after Scratch trashed & light-proofed it, any bar(s) that Scratch hasn't gotten banned from

What habits do they have that housemates might be aware of? Coworkers? Terrible social skills, looks grumpy most of the time but sometimes has a sense of humor (generally sarcastic but sometimes not), critically observant of dark corners or shadows, always has a flashlight on his person or stashed nearby, drinks just SO much coffee

What kind of CR are you looking for? I'm really enjoying all the people being skeptical of Alan so far (and telling him to get verified) so bringing that into in-person interactions would be delightful. I would also absolutely love the chance for someone to roast Alan and his terrible running stamina. That aside, he is experienced with some guns + crossbows (but not short/longbows) and could be backup for anyone wanting to go outside the city limits, so there's an opportunity for CR there for anyone willing to trust him around their person with a weapon after outright saying he has a dangerous doppelganger. He's been in what's essentially a void dimension for the past ten years with almost no one to talk to so anyone willing to give him the time of day and help him get re-acclimated to society again would be great.

What kind of plots do you have in mind/are looking for? Mr. Scratch can corrupt things & people with darkness (it's on his permissions if you want to opt into this), so it could be fun to have a plot where Alan is vindicated helping others to deal with fighting Scratch's dark powers and getting folks not possessed (which can vary from exposing them to light if they're non-violent to unfortunately more extreme solutions if the person is violent). Alan can also rewrite reality to a certain extent via manuscripts and that could be a fun plot to run with anyone interested. Someone forcing him to do cardio training would also be fun, he's spent the past ten years sitting at a desk in the void.

What sort of food would your character want to eat all the time if they could get away with it? New York-style pizza, pepperoni preferred but cheese is an acceptable substitute, with lots of crushed red pepper flakes on top
Your character gets to pick the movie for movie night. What do they pick? A psychological thriller of some kind, a surrealist horror, or a buddy-cop movie with a twist ending.
