Player intro:

Hi hello! Super excited to be here! I'm bad at intros, so I'll try to cover the basics — I was born and raised on the East Coast, but then I moved to California a couple of years ago after the global panini, and I'm still getting used to it! I'm a technical writer for a game company that you might have heard of, and I have terrible taste in horrible (affectionate) fictional men. I'm actually still semi-new to DWRP since I only started in 2020, but despite Battlestar Galactica being my canon of all time, I haven't played anyone from it until now! Which is fine; I welcome any excuse to get back on my BSG bullshit!! I've been feral about this canon for twenty years and now you all have to put up with me!!

Character Name: Gaius Baltar
Canon: Battlestar Galactica (2003)
Vibes:

What he wants you to believe: articulate, cultured genius who has his shit together.

Reality: kind of an asshole, selfish, and cowardly. Described by several different people in canon as "a strange little man". Enjoys drinking, smoking, and casual hookups. Lies like a rug. He's still paranoid despite having no memories of important events (like that time he (unintentionally) caused the destruction of 99% of humanity because he wanted to get laid or whatever, it's FINE), but since he doesn't expect everyone to find out and kill him here, he'll at least find it a bit easier to deal with other people.

Aesthetic-wise, I have been poking around pinterest a bit, but I mostly have a great desire to force him into copious amounts of fringe because he will not love it but will have no choice.

Memories:

Gaius has his academic skills, so he remembers that he has a doctorate (and will probably make sure anyone who questions his intellect knows that, too, because he's annoying). Otherwise, he has some nebulous memory fragments that hint at what he's done in canon, but they're mostly a lot of uncomfortable feelings. Naturally, this has wiped out all of that good character development he had despite his canon point being post-canon. The big one is that he knows he did something very significant, and whatever it is no one can find out about it or else. He also kinda remembers being in love with a mysterious woman in a red dress who was scary and manipulated him, but was also the only person who protected him so??? It's complicated???

Initial Plans:

He is not loving it here so far haha. He wants nothing to do with anything spooky or horrific and has no problem saying so. He will also not rush to anyone's aid if he can help it, but barring other options, he will very reluctantly get involved because he's not a monster. He is capable of making more of an effort and taking a stand, but definitely not without coaxing or being backed into a corner.

I don't have any other specific plans otherwise, so I'm mostly open to whatever!

Anything else?:
i am pleased to be able to sum him up in a couple of gifs:

I really need to rewatch BSG but also had a minor meltdown at realizing that you were not exaggerating about the 20 years thing..............

Anyway hi I feel like our boys are going to get mistaken for each other a lot lmfao
