Um... My Lodger OC, I guess?

@wintersnow999 2 years ago
Name: Mr. Phillip Anton
Age: Around 30
Occupation: Solar Psychologist (what?) (it means he uses light, primarily sunlight, to influence the mind of his patients) (oh ok)
Appearance:
- Light brown, bleached gold hair (from all that time in the sun)
- Olive skin
- Faded green eyes
- Gold, yellow and jade-green suit
- A silver monocle-thing with too many lenses that he normally wears inside his jacket where most gentlemen would wear a pocketwatch
Personality:
- Inhumanly calm and unperturbed by the weirdest things (he could probably walk in on Jekyll transforming into Hyde, nod politely and leave)
- Friendly enough, but detached and doesn't often sympathize with people aside from what he has to do professionally
- Impeccable manners
- Oddly, despite his detachment, professional manner and disturbing area of science, he's the kind of person that you just... want to trust
Other:
- He's half-blind in one eye because of a work-related accident (he doesn't like to talk about it, mainly because he thinks it makes him sound unprofessional that he had a work-related accident)
- Yes, he can hypnotize you, and no, he won't
- In fact, he almost never tests his experiments on living beings at all (how does he do his science then? no one knows but him)
(Ok, so if someone wants to come in with their OC or something, feel free)
There was a brisk tap at the front doors of the Society of Arcane Sciences. Mr. Anton waited silently outside, briefcase in hand, waiting for... well, he didn't really know. Someone with the authority to admit him into the Society, hopefully.

"Why, hello there," Mr. Anton said calmly. "I was told that this is the Society of Arcane Sciences? I would like to apply, if at all possible."

This is it! And if you're a practicing scientist, then there's no need to apply!

(Hello, and welcome to The Roleplaying Scientists! :DD 
I hope you enjoy your time here and I’m really looking forward to writing with you! It’s always great to see new people.
If you have any questions, I usually just go by Helen.)
The door was swiftly opened and there stood a young woman dressed in a gray three-piece suit, her eyes a warm, friendly brown, same as her hair.
“Ah, you must be Mr. Anton!” She greeted with a beaming grin, reaching forward to shake his hand, “It’s a pleasure to meet you, sir— My name is Dr. Helen Jekyll, I’m the day manager here at The Society for Arcane Science.”
“Do come in, and I’d be more than happy enough to give you a tour of the building.”

((Oh! So heads up about how timelines and introductions work here.
Our introductions, to save everyone a headache, typically have multiple people responding to a introduction prompt and as such the stories typically tend to all coincide at the same time. I know this can make the timeline initially very odd and confusing but the main goal of an introduction RP is to establish relationships with the characters and get your character into the society. If you wish to keep only one timeline/story line going feel free to do so but fair warning it can be a bit of a hassle.
However don't worry as timeline wise things get much easier and more linear from here. Occasionally, due to Disqus being a site for discussions and not role plays, timelines and threads will split off. We do try to reduce these split offs and timeline issues but they do occur sometimes.))

((Oh, I don't think anyone does introductions quite this way except us. House style. You're doing fine. As HJ says, you're not leaving any of us out, the idea is that you reply to all the people, not just one. So you end up with one version of the "story" where it was Helen and only Helen who answered the door, another version where it was Ariadne, etc.
If the question of which it was comes up in future RPs, say over whether your character's already met a particular person or nt, you're allowed to go with whichever is convenient at the time. (And you don't even have to stick to it - my character has alluded in different RPs both to Dreamer and Nex being the first Lodgers she met AND to Richard Prince being the first Lodger she met.)
All very odd but muc easier than it sounds once you get started! And as HJ says it only applies to introductions, in other threads we do try to avoid creating multiple versions of events, though we sometimes don't succeed.))

Helen blinked at him for a moment, seemingly puzzled, then broke out into a gentle laugh.
“I think you have me confused with our co-fonder, Dr. Henry Jekyll, sir. He runs the entire place whilst I merely see to the different Lodger’s affairs.” She explained, smile unfaltering.
“As for your question, no interview shall be necessary, though if I could please see your acceptance letter... It should be signed by Dr. Henry and is proof enough that you belong here.”

"Of course," Mr. Anton agreed, unperturbed. He pulled a letter from the pocket of his jacket and held it out with a nod.

Helen accepted the letter, scanning over its contents for a moment before handing it back.
“Everything seems to be in order! Now, please do come inside,” She stepped out of the doorway, “And we’ll see about getting you a room.”

“Oh, every kind imaginable,” She answered with a smile, “We have everything from pyrotechnics to experimental confectionary to optical fragmentation... Nearly each and every field is unique.”
Helen slowed her pace and nodded towards a pair of double opening doors, with a sign that read ‘No (rogue) Science Allowed!’
“That’s the kitchen—after a little incident with some of the chemists and a cake, any sciences other than cooking were banned from it,” She explained, chuckling softly.

"Of course!"
She continued the tour, leading him to a pristine room that had the look of a small hospital.
"Now, here is our infirmary... While your field of work does seem to be less physically dangerous than most, it's always a good idea to know where to go, should you need help. We have some of the best doctors and medicine London has to offer," She glanced to him. "Though the hope is you'll never have to experience it."

"I believe Dr. 'Hen" Jekyll frequently works there, though he does often receive help from other Lodgers... There's Dr. Weir and Jasper, to name a few," She answered with a thoughtful tilt of her head.

The talk is blunt and unsophisticated, but full of love and humor.
In a world defined by cognitive dissonance and internal disarray, it was nice to experience the simple pleasures of familial warmth. As their conversation carries them into the late hours, a familiar voice speaks into his ear- a message maybe not meant for him but for someone else.
He idly wondered who, but that would be a mystery for another time. For now, he'd turn a deaf ear to the angel. He had more important matters to attend to.

"Hello, I see we have another psychologist on board! YAAAAAAAY!
Our currently active counselor, Doctor Henry Rose has been handling dozens of case loads but there's a lot of crazy stuff that goes on so the need for therapy is growing exponentially. We totally need the extra help!
Also Rosy's a hybrid so he knows a thing or two about influencing the mind ( with patient consent, of course ) so don't be afraid to pick his brains :P
Unfortunately, we are currently on holiday but we'll be returning on Saturday! We look forward to meeting you :D" )

Ariadne opened the door, as had become an often ritualistic habit of her's, and stared at the newest member. For some reason, he looked oddly familiar.
"Good morning, sir." Ariadne replied, one hand on the doorknob, the other holding her gas emitter. Can't be too careful. "You must be the new arrival. Your name?"

Well, scientists is one word for them.
"Of course, Mr. Anton." Ariadne welcomed. She had been informed that he was some sort of psychologist, which oddly made her smile. "Come in, come in; make yourself at home. It's one of the many places for scientists in the city, but the Society for Arcane Sciences is often considered the more... emancipated of them. If you catch my meaning."
She quickly stuffed the emitter into her jacket pocket.

"I believe I do," Mr. Anton commented thoughtfully. Could she mean less bound to society's rules? Less... ethical? "Excuse my boldness, but what is that device you hold?"

Dr. H. Griffin  wintersnow999 • 2 years ago
Ariadne thought of simply responding "What device?", but she knew her eyes would deceive her. It tended to happen whenever she lied. She took it from her pocket, and showed it to him.
"It's an emitter of vapours, specifically a compound that I invented which renders the breather unconscious for up to an hour or so. I carry it with me at all times, I like to be careful."

Mr. Anton nodded. "Fascinating, and quite understandable. I must look into vapor emitters more--they seem interesting, not to mention pertinent to my area of science." He stepped inside, looking around.

((Welcome to The Role Playing Scientists! 
Call me HJ, I run the Wikipedia which you can find here:
the-roleplaying-scientists....
Also, here's a quick run down on the wikia as that can help you get a feel for the RP universe! 
The TRPS universe is set in Sabrina's comic universe however the history and such has changed mainly due to all the characters we have inserted into it. For more on the little changes in the world check out the About page!
http://the-roleplaying-scie...
The wikia also has older stories on it however not many of the newer stories (the last 7 months-ish?) but I hope to correct that sometime in the future.
If you are looking for information on any character I recommend finding them on the Character page or asking a player as we all are more than happy to answer any questions! 
http://the-roleplaying-scie...
I would actually like to add Phillip to the wikia, give him his own page and everything! You've done an excellent job writing up his physical and personality description however I have a couple more questions to ask before I can make his page. If you wouldn't mind answering the following questions that would be wonderful!
1. What's your character's full name?
2. What's your favorite quote from you're character?
3. What do they look like and what's their personality like?
4. What's their backstory before they came to the society?
5. Do you have any pictures of them that you drew or found?
6. Do they have any nicknames?
7. What do they study at the society?
8. Do they have any jobs?
9. What is their age?
10. Are they human? If not what are they?
11. Are they single, dating someone, or married?
12. What's their height?
13. What's their weight?
14. Anything else I should know about this character?
If you have any questions, comments, concerns, etc. feel free to post them on the main page! Mz. Hyde is our Moderator though anyone on the forum is more than happy to help! :)
Welcome again to our little RP and I hope you enjoy your time with us! I'm very excited to see Phillip in action!))

((It's really neat that you add people's OCs to the wikia and everything! I'm honored!
1. Phillip Jonathan Anton (honorific: Mister/Mr.; he declines the title "doctor" because he has no official training)
2. "Unless you wish to wake up tomorrow with the firm belief that you are a tadpole, I suggest you don't touch that."
3. Most of this is in the form thingy above but just in case:
- Light brown, bleached gold hair
- Olive skin
- Faded green eyes
- Gold, yellow and jade-green suit
- A silver monocle-thing with too many lenses that he normally wears inside his jacket where most gentlemen would wear a pocketwatch
- Inhumanly calm and unperturbed by the weirdest things [he could probably walk in on Jekyll transforming into Hyde, nod politely and leave]
- Friendly enough, but detached and doesn't often sympathize with people aside from what he has to do professionally
- Impeccable manners
- Oddly, despite his detachment, professional manner and disturbing area of science, he's the kind of person that you just... want to trust
4. He was raised in a fairly upper-class family and became captivated with the idea of changing the mind. Over time, he became more and more ostracized from his family until, after a huge argument, he was disowned. His experiments stopped being funded and almost all of his equipment was taken away. He was in a bad spot for a time, until he heard of the Society from a man called Henry Jekyll, who also gave him enough money to get some nicer clothes.
5. Unfortunately, not at the moment--I have one, but it's a work in progress
6. No; close friends just call him Phillip
7. Psychology; he's a solar psychologist
8. Aside from being a scientist, no
9. Thirty-one
10. Yes, he's human
11. Single
12. 5' 11"
13. Around 150 pounds?
14. Part of the reason why he's into psychology is that he partly needs the help himself. Without his equipment, he would slowly begin to go insane. He's half-blind in one eye because of a work-related accident (he doesn't like to talk about it, mainly because he thinks it makes him sound unprofessional that he had a work-related accident). Yes, he can hypnotize you, and no, he won't. No one's ever actually seen him test anything on another living being.
[Thank you!]))

((Excellent! Thank you! :D
Here is Phillip's page: 
http://the-roleplaying-scie...
Feel free to adjust and edit anything you wish! I'll take care of the story appearances section when I get some time to add more RPs to the wikia. If you ever need an edit feel free to let me know and I'll be able to fix or change something quickly but I do encourage you to learn how to do so on your own. Feel free to add or change any pictures you have of him to his gallery as of the moment it is filled with a place holder picture.
I hope the page is to your liking and if not just let me know! ))

"Ah, thank you. Jekyll and Lanyon have really outdone themselves," Lewis concurred.
"The main hall here contains a grand variety of specimens and artifacts from many of our resident scientists," he explained as he gestured with an open palm to the exhibits before them. "They come from all over the world--as do the lodgers themselves."
He thought a moment.
"Say, I've a light schedule today, and Jekyll's currently out, though he should be back shortly. Would you like a brief tour in the meantime?" he offered. "Just to get a little more familiar with the place."
