a terrible robot that everyone definitely needed

[epimethean]

Hello, friends! My name is Whit! I am BRAND NEW (maybe I know some of you?) and I am bringing you Wheatley from the Portal series. Once upon a time he was the World's Worst Beachball-Shaped Robot. Now he is the World's Worst Human. He works as a programmer/code monkey/butt monkey in that one tech firm called Prometheus, and is honestly just glad to be holding down a job for once in his life. I have prepared a helpful infographic to better explain the entity that I am unleashing upon all of you today.



I am late to the plotting post but his thread is this way, and you can read more about him in his application or his info post. I'm totally open to pre-existing CR, if a petulant, overly-emotional champion of neuroses sounds like something your character is missing from their lives.

I live on plurk at whitticus and on AIM at bestmysterious if you would like to get in touch with me, which you definitely should because I am very excited to play with you all.

DO YOU WANT THEM TO

KNOW EACH OTHER

fair warning he's like 30 years old and lives by himself in a shitty apartment and works all the time and has no friends

[hawaiianheir]

CLEARLY HE HAS TO BUG THE CURRENT CROP OF COLLEGE STUDENTS WORKING ON COMP SCI AND TELL THEM ABOUT HOW HE WAS THE BEST PROGRAMMER AT GENERIC NORTHEASTER UNIVERSITY

also he needs a friend who has a fashion sense as awful as he does so clearly they met in some sort of wacky circumstance

YES QUITE I WAS THE VERY BEST BACK IN MY DAY AT GENERIC AMERICAN STATE COLLEGE CLASS OF 2002 WHAT WHAT LET ME TEACH YOU MY WAYS

He probably hangs around coffee shops drinking Incredibly British Tea and coding and stuff MAYBE THEY MET THAT WAY

[hawaiianheir]
