+1 evil gay architect(/engineer...)

[primaryignition]

hello all it is i yasmine (vasiliy's player) with another absolutely unhinged man! for those who haven't seen rogue one, the gist of him is - orson krennic is the architectural/aerospace/weapons engineer behind the wholeass death star (except for its fuel cells, which are a whole can of worms) and the director of that project/a rear admiral in the imperial navy. he is incredibly intelligent, perceptive, callous, and manipulative; orson meets all of the diagnostic criteria for antisocial personality disorder (colloquially known as sociopathy/psychopathy) and is not able to feel empathy/compassion/guilt/remorse.

he is, however, canonically extremely gifted at masking, i.e., imitating the behavior of people who do experience these things and has a lifetime of practice. given his 51 years of life and exceptionally perceptive nature - and talent for mimicry - he's going to come off as completely neurotypical and someone with a normal emotional range unless a character knows what he has done or is like schooled in psychology and watches him closely for a prolonged period of time (seeing through the mask is something i'd like to plot out first if it happens!); although we only see antagonistic interactions connected to power struggles onscreen, canon background info supplies that he's generally well-liked, though of as very charming and a great conversationalist, and used to being able to work people until he gets what he wants.

i do think he is capable of forming interpersonal bonds in his own way, especially because he has a very fragile sense of self and needs constant external validation and affirmation and is very social - i am pulling him from a canonpoint in which he's just seen the one person he's ever shared a genuine bond with (and is heavily textually implied to have been in love with in the prequel novel, despite all that he does to him) killed, and spends a moment looking over his shoulder and staring at his body as though struggling to process that he's dead instead of boarding his craft for an urgent evacuation under enemy fire as he should be doing.

and guess what! that very same guy is other recent sing arrival jyn erso (vallt)'s dad! uh oh sisters!!!

arriving in sing he's basically in absolute hell - he's grieving and confused about why he's grieving/doesn't recognize it as grief, reeling from the revelation that the person he is grieving betrayed him (albeit after orson did like 3 million things to HIM, which in his warped perception of reality is totally different and fine), in a VERY primitive environment compared to star wars, separated from his life's work and extremely stressed about it, and overwhelmingly bored. i plan on having him go looking for the architectural plans to the lakeside dam and probably also draw up some plans for infrastructure like bridges and whatnot and then try to find supplies and characters to help him BUILD these things, so like, hit me up if that's something you'd be interested in...

you can hit me up on the discord (preferred) or pp bluehellgazette, although i don't friend people i haven't already been threading with for a while because i like to keep my plurklist small!

YOOO I'm That Person in a group who's annoyingly canonblind to Star Wars beyond the first three movies, but excited to see a character like this in game, he sounds like so much fun potential! Laughing because Ned is probably THE most gullible / easy to manipulate member of Milton's current population, if that's ever a thing that might be relevant — but Krennic also sounds like someone that Kostya would love to chat with — hello star man from the far future...

[goingtobeunwell]

I just enjoy that there's gonna be another guy hanging around who is a part of a big ol' evil empire hellbent, except he's from space. The Terrors are gonna be like, "so...do your space ships have...sails?"

Hello! I'm so excited to see an Orsen Krennic in game! (I'm also the Lyra Erso player you briefly chatted with in another game's TDM plurk XD) I've just got Zoey Westen here in game at the moment. She's an original character, former seer, and generally snarky as all hell. She'd 100% be here for helping him get supplies to build things.
