Hello! I'm Jhey, welcome to the game (and back to DW RP!) I'm canonblind, but I have one (1) Victorian-era naval officer from the horror canon The Terror here, who I think could be fun to toss at your guy. Edward has also dealt with a lot of Repression and Living Just For His Purpose (which in his case was his job as The Terror's first lieutenant, trying to keep his humanity and be a Proper Englishman while everything around him was falling apart on a doomed expedition into the Arctic.) His crew was stuck in the ice for three years, so it's been a long-term thing for him, too....

It could be potentially really interesting to explore these kind of themes with Raju, since it sounds like they have some same-but-opposite things going on, with Raju doing terrible things and Edward refusing to do terrible things but both having some undesirable effects on them.... aka "being what people need me to be" and how that can really wear on a guy :')

But yes! That's just me spitballing some thoughts, but I'd love to just see how they might interact sometime, so I'm looking forward to doing things with you in game!

Oooh I love that a lot, I’d definitely love to explore that with them. Depending on what kind of terrible things Edward objects to, this setting might give us plenty of opportunities to put them in a position where they have to decide which one of them has to do something awful and make it impossible for them not to talk about it.

Yeah! It sounds like there's definitely a lot of fun Moral Discomforts / What's Necessary for Survival themes to explore, and I bet the setting could be utilised for that at some point, for sure. Looking forward to it! :)

Same, I’m really looking forward to getting these two together! The Terror sounds like a blast, if I can use that word to describe something that also seems very sad. Like it seems like there’s a lot of interesting stuff going on.
