Slender

Unassuming

Expressive (if not paying attention, which is rare), something like a more delicate Nicolas Cage

Tends to cock his head and lift his chin when he's concentrating; tends to stare into space when he's not

Apparel & Accessories

Dresses like a college student

Specialization is for insects. Morris is just...lucky.

Morris is fantastically attractive when he wants or cares to be, and fantastically ordinary otherwise.

[REDACTED]

Employment

S.E.N.T.I.N.E.L.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Various honors societies

Failures & Embarrassments

A few exes a few too quickly

Mental Trauma

Everyone Morris has ever loved -- or ever known -- never existed at all. Probably.

Intellectual Characteristics

The epic extent of Morris's intellect, reasoning power, and cognitive capabilities, well in excess of what would be expected by fantastic heroes and wizards of yore, is still less than the raw power of his inherent fortune. Probabilities bend to conform to his best interests before he even knows what they are, and apparently they always already have. Morris seems to embody the butterfly effect, if the butterfly effect were a laser-focused precision tool wielded by an expert for whom minute and delicate operations were as automatic as driving while listening to an audiobook.

Morality & Philosophy

Nothing Is True. Everything Is Permitted. The consequences probably won't be ghastly. For Morris.

Known Languages

English.

Personality

Motivation

All those I loved, they never lived

But never die. No aeons strange

But only this one time, to which I give

All fortune, luck, and will

From which to range to lost Carcosa

Where black stars are hanging still.

Quotes & Catchphrases

If all fiction is a sigil, then all metafiction is a hypersigil.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Savvy to deception, disguises, politics, academics, bureaucracy, and history that was and never was

Inept with anything on computers that isn't an old PC game. Except that now "old" means "pre-apocalyptic". All six of them. So much for that unfinished game of Alpha Centauri.

Likes & Dislikes

Likes: simulations, counterfactuals, Ramen, espionage, storytelling, situations of uncertainty, goth chicks, money, coin collecting, Soviet chic, conspiracy theories, JFK, George Orwell, X-Files, Nicolas Cage, Francis Ford Coppola

Dislikes: boredom, RPGs, meangirls, dumb jocks, overly predictable plot twists, tired cliches, overused tropes, Big Brother, Ashton Kutcher, Henry Ford, Exxon

Virtues & Personality perks

Incredibly, heroically, fantastically, epically lucky in the most utterly improbable of ways with even more improbable frequency.

Morris is also improbably great at scrying, remote viewing, and astral projection.

Vices & Personality flaws

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you. Whoever "they" are. They probably know who you are.

So it's better not to get too close to anyone. Especially when they might never have existed at all and still somehow be used against you.

Personality Quirks

Likes taking notes by hand.

Hygiene

College student.

Social

Blending in (or standing out) as needed

Morris can have an arrogant stance and demeanor if he isn't taking care not to, which he usually is

Speech

Like, totally 90s
