Hello!

I'm Lae and I am bringing Mr. Anthony Lockwood to snow apocalypses!

I have a permission post for him Here, feel free to also use this post as an opt-out. All comments are screened.

The fastest way to get ahold of me is to PM this journal. I do have a Discord (I do not do plurk) and I'm happy to friend anyone and everyone. I don't have notifications active on Discord, so if you need to get ahold of me quickly, PM this journal, and if I can, I will jump on Discord.

I am an auditor and I travel a lot for work, which impacts my tagging speed/availability. As a rule, when I have free time I can sit down and boomerang for hours, but drawn out backtags tend to get away from me. I have nothing against backtags, but I can't promise how fast I can get to them.

Lockwood: Ultra capable, highly charismatic young ghost hunter who still manages to be awkwardly emotionally stunted. Known as a flippant dickhead but is teachable and experiences solid character growth. He'll still stick his foot in his mouth, but he usually apologizes and tries to do better next time.

His ghost detecting abilities are nerfed, a fact with which he will struggle a bit in the beginning. His housing location is TBD.

Netflix did fans of Lockwood & Co dirty and canceled it after 1 season, but I am happy to talk about the canon/answer any questions! In his canon, children and teens are basically front line soldiers against The Problem with very short life expectancies. Adults hide in the safety of fortified buildings and effectively send children out to make them money/die in their stead. As such, Lockwood is not given to trusting or listening to the adults around him. I am ABSOLUTELY open to him learning to trust and seek the support of adults in game.

In his canon, Lockwood has the role and responsibilities of an adult. Things like drinking alcohol, and violence against teens/children is normalized. I totally understand if that makes people uncomfortable, feel free to hit up his permission post and opt-out entirely, or ask to discuss subjects you'd like to avoid when interacting with Lockwood.

Finally, while teens are considered "aged up" in his canon, he is not available for romantic shipping, even with characters his own age. I love to explore complex CR storylines, but with Lockwood it will be 100% Gen only.

oh boy, kids/teens used to fight while the adults are somewhere safer sure is something levi is familiar with. they'll have to talk sometime.

I am here for these conversations!

hi and welcome! in max's canon kids don't often get to live out their childhoods and instead sometimes have to do awful shit so max might be able to recognize something familiar in lockwood. max is himself not always a trusting person and doesn't always treat kids any better than he does adults so i could imagine them seeing eye to eye that way!

[recklessenough]

Hello!

Thank you for the welcome! Oddly enough Lockwood would appreciate that Max treats kids the same as adults! That might actually see Lockwood more inclined to trust Max.

At least he isn't pretending to have the "kids" best interest at heart.

[pursuitspecial]

i think max is probably in deep denial when he cares about people, especially kids, but he tends to treat them almost as harshly as adults so this might go a ways for lockwood. max seeing him and dustin show up like seriously? more children out here?? 🙄 except then he'll also make sure they're like, doing okay too.

Hi Lae! I'm Tess and I play Chloe Frazer from Uncharted and Randvi from Assassin’s Creed. I'm not super familiar with his canon and I think both of my characters are in the suspicion zone (one is turning 40 this summer and the other is 30) but I look forward to interacting with Lockwood in game!
