Name: 'Boxcar' Joe Trimble Gender: Male, straight Age/DOB: ~30, unknown dob Origin: Rookery Earth, New York, relocated to Europe after Combine Family: None known, had been searching for his girlfriend, but it's likely she's no longer alive Other: Part of the Shorepoint rescue group, along with 'Boxy' the Vortigaunt set in the Canals guiding refugees to the camp; Currently in Rapture, loving the old clothing and gear he's been finding... Height: 6'1" Weight: 170, a bit of a 'dad bod', though he's still fit he much prefers the security of not having to literally run from things down in Rapture, and will probably fill out those detective duds over time Hair: Black, kept short, pattern baldness on back of head so he's fine with the hat Eyes: Dark steel grey-blue to hazel grey, seems to change with mood or lighting, under expressive heavy brows Appearance: Fair skin with a number of small blemishes and some scarring from escapes, light facial hair that he keeps well shaved; he's a New Yorker through and through - whatever that means, he was still only a pre-teen when the Combine arrived and his family was shuffled around, but he's adopted a stronger accent now that they're down in Rapture and he's had time to 'research' some inhabitants audio logs and watch movies there; dresses as shown: he found plenty of clothes that he absolutely loves, and goes 'sleuthing' around the place Genetic Abilities: none known, but it's possible he has some kind of Vortal connection, because Boxy tolerates him and they share quite a few weird secrets from the Outlands - not the least of which is that they were hand-picked by that world's Keenan to wait for orders... Icarus Processing: None, Melissa thinks he would benefit but not sure how |

Skills or Profession: Since he effectively grew up being shuffled from City to City, and under the Combine rule on the Rookery world, Joe knows how to appraise a situation, look for an out, and scramble around in the ruins like nobody's business. He's exceptionally good at finding hiding places, though they tend to be short-term solutions. He's rarely stayed in one place more than a few weeks at a time, so being down in Rapture has been a new experience he really enjoys - and he has put his exploration skills to the test here. When he spots a place that is either good for renovation, or needing to be shored up, he will contact the others and get the right folks on it. Between him and Boxy the Vort, they are effectively the 'greeting party' for the incoming people to the place - few though that might be - and route folks to where they're most likely to be put to work. | |
Personality: Joe is good with people, in small amounts. He often sounds a bit curt, but he's genuine and warm hearted overall. When he makes a friend, it's for life. When he makes an enemy... well, we all know how that goes. (No, Joe, we don't, because you haven't made any enemies.) ((Yet!)) (((*eyeroll*))) | |
Events or History: He did have a girlfriend who came from New York with him and his family, but over time, they were all separated, and he knows better than to think that any of them are still alive. He thinks that his extended family may have wound up near Seattle but he heard ... bad things... about that City. He is among the few Humans who knew (Rookery) Keenan Lane, though he's never stated - even to Boxy - what their 'deal' was that he made. 'In exchange for your... services...' could be anything. | |
