Character's name: Doug Rattmann
Character's DW: youvegotsuckersluck
Character's canon: Portal, Portal 2, Lab Rat Comic
Brief (around 300 words) personality outline of your character: Doug is a cautious timid man, in large part due to years of being picked on for his eyes and for being different. His psychological issues also aided to this making him a man afraid to really live. Even when he took a job at Aperture Science he didn't aim as high as he could. He was qualified for so much more but fear kept him grounded. Aside from being timid and shy he's a nice guy, but even nice guys can be pushed too far. His repressed anger at bullies is a trigger that he tries to avoid.
He is a quiet peaceful man in his heart though, who prefers solitude and working in peace and quiet. An artists soul he can find beauty in technology as well as nature and painting gives him peace.
Brief (around 500 words) history and background of your character OR link to a really good wiki page with their history. In either case, explain where they cut off from the timeline: http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Doug_Rattmann
Doug comes from the end of his Rattmann comic after he fell asleep in a stasis unit.
Sample post (just a general, everyday, puttering-around-the-ship post; please include a snippet of dialogue):
When he caught looks at himself in the mirror he could hardly recognize himself anymore. The beard, the hair, the wild panic in his eyes. Where was the timid little mouse of a man that he had once been?
It had been stolen. That identity had been stolen from him by Aperture Science and their flagrant disregard for the safety of their employees. He was amazed they even offered health insurance considering how many accidents they had.
"It's gone now, Aperture is gone. It's all gone. It's just me and...and her and...her" He cringed and fell silent looking over his shoulder as if a camera might be listening in.
"Now She's the only one left. She and...and him. The little one with the accent. He just had to stay away from them and he might have a chance.
The paint brush found his hand before he even knew he was reaching for it. An explosion of color filled his vision. Like a conductor leading his musicians Doug led paint along the wall in a pained scrawl.
"Don't trust her." He reminded himself and wrote the words.
Maybe it would keep him grounded, maybe it would save someone's life.
Maybe he was just screaming into the wind. Only time would tell.
If the character has magic, mutant, or otherwise metahuman abilities, please explain what they are and outline EXACTLY how they function, as their powers may not work due to the nature of the ship or may need to be limited somehow: No powers
Non-superhuman special abilities of note (Is your character a master ventriloquist? A naturally-occurring super-genius? The best martial artist in the world? Say so here): He is a very clever creative techie and artist.
