Hello Gates! I'm Cairo (
czolgosz, friend me if you so please) and some of you have been subjected to my antics before, but some of you are utter virgins and that makes me INCREDIBLY excited to be here, ydek.
Anyway let's try to get to the point, because I have a feeling this is going to be long. :| I'm bringing in Dickie Blackwell, who is best described as...some of you might remember when I made that entry back in, oh, December or so, whining because there was no way an undead Dickensian street urchin could become a reality?
Well. His history-til-now, as concisely as possible: he was born in 1839 to a prostitute, got thrown out on the street when he was 9 or so, survived as a thief until he was 14, at which point his gang turned on him and drowned him in the Thames. And then a deranged surgeon-cum-occultist (or it could be the other way around, idk) resurrected him to be his personal surgical guinea pig for the next century or so. But Dickie
did get his revenge just a few weeks ago when he bludgeoned the doctor into an unholy mess during the recent plot (I am pretty proud of that incorporation, ngl) though he's not, it should be noted, actually dead.
Dickie himself is a fierce little thing, all quick wits and survival instincts and suspicion. He's not particularly good or bad, just primarily concerned with himself. He's been 14 for a long time and he's sort of eternally stuck there, emotionally — he might have a little touch of Peter Pan syndrome, though he's nowhere near innocent (see last paragraph).
I think I'll refer you all to the wanted plot section of his
app to prevent this from getting massive — but even as
that's long, I'll just say I need, in no particular order: 1) somewhere for him to crash, because even though he's undead and doesn't
have to sleep, it's still not safe to be out wandering London at night (or during school hours, even), b) Librarians to investigate the not-quite-dead doctor thing, c) people his age (or "age"), for, idk,
stuff, d) prostitutes, e) some manner of employment, but nothing so nefarious as
work, f) people who might be interested in him for whatever reason. He is uniquely exploitable, I assure you.
Questions/comments/etc can pretty please be posted here, or if you're feeling chatty, I'm on AIM at
watson xxxx (which is a screen name from when I was 15-ish so do not mock its decorative x's please. :|) And now I'm off to procure some noms and enjoy this unseasonable weather~ :>
