Greatest fears: Being alone forever, losing everyone she cares about, and never finding out what happened to Edalyn

Most embarrassing thing ever to happen to him/her: Once she accidentally sent a deeply personal, emotional poem she had written to her entire office instead of just saving it on her computer. It was a raw, unedited piece about her longing for Eda, and having her colleagues read it made her want to disappear

EXTRAS:

MBTI: INFP (The Mediator) - INFPs are known for their deep emotions, creativity, and strong values, often driven by their inner world of ideals and dreams. Maj's love for writing, her obsession with Eda's disappearance, and her struggle with mental health reflect the introspective and emotionally intense nature of an INFP. The Perceiving trait also aligns with her laid-back and go-with-the-flow attitude, as well as her tendency to avoid confrontation and live in a more spontaneous, unstructured manner

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral - Maj’s chaotic nature is evident in her rebellious streak as a teenager, her experimentation with drugs, and her decision to go against her parents' wishes. She isn't evil, but she’s not strictly good either—her actions are driven by her emotions and personal struggles rather than any strict moral code. Her neutrality is shown in how she drifts through life, often acting in her own self-interest without a clear alignment towards good or evil

Enneagram: Type 4 (The Individualist) - Type 4s are introspective, sensitive, and often feel different from others, which can lead to feelings of melancholy and longing. Maj’s deep emotional struggles, obsession with loss, and her sense of isolation all point towards Type 4. She feels a deep connection to the sea but is also drawn to the land, creating a sense of internal conflict and longing that is characteristic of a Type 4

Celtic Tree: Willow - The Willow tree is associated with intuition, emotion, and adaptability—traits that resonate with Maj’s personality. Willows are deeply connected to water and are often seen as symbols of resilience and healing, which aligns with Maj’s connection to the sea and her need for emotional grounding. The tree also reflects her tendency to bend rather than break under pressure, even if it leads her down darker paths

Temperament: Melancholic - The melancholic temperament is characterized by a deep, reflective, and often gloomy outlook on life. Maj’s struggles with depression, anxiety, and obsession with the past, as well as her solitary nature, all point to a melancholic temperament. She is thoughtful, sensitive, and prone to introspection, often lost in her own thoughts and emotions

Hogwarts House: Hufflepuff - Hufflepuffs are known for their loyalty, patience, and dedication, traits that Maj displays in her relationships and her writing. Despite her struggles, she remains committed to the people she cares about, even if it's from a distance. Her love for the sea and the comfort it brings her also aligns with Hufflepuff’s connection to nature. Hufflepuffs are also known for being unassuming and blending into the background, which matches Maj’s quiet, low-key demeanor

Element: Water -Water is the natural element for Maj, given her origins as a mermaid and her deep connection to the sea. Water symbolizes emotion, intuition, and the subconscious—all aspects that are central to Maj’s character. It also represents adaptability and change, reflecting her fluid nature and the way she drifts between different aspects of her life, struggling to find stability

     𝙸 𝚆𝙰𝚂 𝙷𝙴𝚁𝙴—𝖆𝖓𝖉 𝖎 𝖒𝖆𝖙𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖊𝖉     roswelltask 002     ( @rocketfm )

𝑂𝑅𝐼𝐺𝐼𝑁𝑆 & 𝐹𝐴𝑀𝐼𝐿𝑌.

Full Name:   Gunner Raleigh Dunn

Reason for name:   Mostly stereotypical toxic masculinity, Gunner’s father wanted a “strong” sounding name for his son, believing that it would make him strong.

Nickname(s):   Gun, Dunn, QB, Midas

Date of Birth:   November 1st, 1988

Age:  32

Gender + Pronouns:   Cis-Male, He/Him

Place of birth:   Rockport, Massachusettes

Parents:   Sandra Burns-Dunn & Brock Dunn

Siblings:   N/A

Relationship with family (close? estranged?):   Estranged. Only currently speaks to his cousin who lives in England, as far as biological family is concerned.

Pets:   N/A

���𝐻𝑌𝑆𝐼𝐶𝐴𝐿.

Height:   6 feet, 1 inch

Build:   Athletic, Muscular

Nationality:   American

Ethnicity:   3/4 White, 1/4 Filipino / Spanish / Catalan / Basque / Chinese

Distinguishing Facial Features:   Jawline & Strong, Sometimes Messy Eyebrows

Hair Color:   Dark Brown

Usual Hair Style:   Messy, usually with a minimal amount of product because he runs his hands through it a lot.

Eye Color:   Dark Brown

Complexion (freckles, acne, skin tone, birthmarks, scars):   Lightly Tanned, Almost-Olive Skin. A few scars on his hands and also spread over his back and shoulder.

Disabilities (physical or mental, including mental illnesses):   Anger Issues & Intermittent nerve issues in his injured shoulder that can, at times, leave him in a sling from pain.

What do they consider their best feature?:   His Biceps

Worst they’ve ever been injured (what, how did it happen)?:   While the injury that ended his career was by no means the only time he’d been injured badly enough to put him in the hospital, it is the only injury that truly left him with a lasting impact. It was during an important game for the season, when, upon one of his teammates getting their hands on the ball, he’d made the decision to tackle a member of the opposing team because he was in the best position to do so, and save the ball from the other team. But the momentum from the tackle had sent them off the field, and upon realizing where they were heading, he’d shifted his and the other player’s position in the air so he took the brunt of the impact when they collided with something on the sidelines. The impact, mostly focused on his shoulder, effectively shattered the bones there, and he’d needed to be surgically pieced back together like a jigsaw puzzle.

𝐴𝑃𝑃𝐸𝐴𝑅𝐴𝑁𝐶𝐸.

Favorite outfit:   Decently tight jeans, white t-shirt, and a leather jacket

Glasses? Contacts?:   N/A

Personal Hygiene:   Two showers a day - one when he wakes up, and one after his daily workout. He also has a skincare routine that he does every day, twice a day.

Jewelry? Tattoos? Piercings?:   He doesn’t usually wear jewelry, but he does have his ears pierced. He has a large tattoo that covers most of his back of a tree - with an intricate root system beneath the “ground” that’s visible, that says “no tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell.” He also has a tattoo of a raven on his non-injured shoulder, with a dragonfly right next to it, and delicate script forming a bracelet around his left wrist that says “you say i killed you - haunt me, then.” because the man is a classical novel nerd. And, finally, he has a roman numeral ‘thirty two’ tattooed on his ribs, near his heart, for his jersey number.

What does their voice sound like?:   I’m not even gonna try to explain it, okay, it’s low and gravelly and y’all can listen to it yourself if you really wanna know. The mans straight up sounds like he’s got a sore throat 100% of the time.

Style of speech (loud, mumbler, articulate, etc.):   He generally speaks fairly quietly - loud enough to be heard, but generally on the quieter side, unless he’s pissed and starts yelling.

Accent?:   Classic New England accent. But he also has a tendency to drop the ‘g’s from the end of his words, in a more typical Southern habit.

Unique mannerisms/physical habits:   He has a habit of flexing his hands into fists whenever he’s thinking, but generally, he doesn’t have a ton of habits that are unique to him.

Left handed or right?:   He’s ambidextrous, meaning he can use both of his hands equally as well, and doesn’t have a particular instinct towards using either of them.

Do they work out/exercise?:   Almost obsessively. He works out every single day, and usually can’t be caught dead skipping a day.

𝐵𝐸𝐿𝐼𝐸𝐹𝑆 & 𝐼𝑁𝑇𝐸𝐿𝐿𝐸𝐶𝑇.

Known Languages:   English, French, Filipino, & Spanish

Zodiac:   Scorpio

Gifts/talents:   He has always been a very talented football player, a natural almost as soon as he’d started playing, and is also quite gifted at chess, though that’s something that no one really knows about him.

Religious stance:   Agnostic/Athiest, if not a bit antagonistic towards the idea of a higher power.

Political stance:   Liberal, but like with most things, he doesn’t speak of it in public, so no one would really know. Many people in the past assumed he was a conservative because of the sport he played, even though it couldn’t be further from the truth.

Pet peeves:   Quiet, easily intimidated people.

Optimist or pessimist:   Pessimist

Extrovert or introvert:   He has a “switch” he can turn on and off as the situation needs. He’s generally an introvert, but when put into a situation where being an extrovert would help, he can put on an act to become one without much struggle.

𝐼𝑁𝑇𝐼𝑀𝐴𝐶𝑌 & 𝑅𝐸𝐿𝐴𝑇𝐼𝑂𝑁𝑆𝐻𝐼𝑃𝑆.

Relationship status:   Single

Sexual orientation:   Bisexual

Ideal mate/qualities they look for in mate:   He generally gravitates towards stronger, more dominant personalities, though it’s been so long since he’s been in a relationship that it’s generally not something he even thinks about anymore. Someone who’s outgoing and can spar with his prickly mood swings is usually who catches his attention, though.

Ever been in love?:   Once, and while it ended amicably enough, it ruined his views on relationships.

What’s their love language?:   Both physical touch and gift giving.

Most important person in their life?:   It’d been his grandmother at one point in his life, but now that she has passed away, he doesn’t really have anyone - a bit of a lone wolf type.

𝑉𝑂𝐶𝐴𝑇𝐼𝑂𝑁.

Level of education:   College degree in Classic Studies, with an emphasis on Classic Literature

Profession:   Sports Reporter at Rocket Radio Station

Past occupations:   Professional Football Player

Dream occupation:   N/A

Passions:   Football, Reading, Chess

Attitude towards current job:   It keeps him occupied for a little every day, and is about as close as he’s comfortable getting to his past career, which he appreciates, but he’s not exactly passionate about it.

Spender or Saver? Why?:   He’s a little bit of both. He doesn’t have to worry about money, mostly due to smart investments back when he was famous, but he doesn’t necessarily go around just spending money to spend money. If he wants something, he buys it, and doesn’t really have to think much on it.

Which is more important – money or doing something they love?:   He’s never had to choose, because the thing he loved made him money - but if he had to choose, if he could only have one, he’d choose doing something he loved.

𝑆𝐸𝐶𝑅𝐸𝑇𝑆.

Phobias:   N/A

Life goals:   To fade into oblivion, now

Greatest fears:   Intimacy

Most embarrassing thing ever to happen to him/her:   Gunner, for the most part, has no shame - so he generally doesn’t find very much, if anything at all, embarrassing.

Something they’ve never told anyone:   His animosity towards his father had started forming at a young age, mostly culminating in screaming matches between the two when he was a teenager, and that was why he left Rockport for college and never even considered turning back.

Biggest regret:   Not trying to make a long distance relationship work with his high school boyfriend, when he left for college.

Compulsions:   N/A

Police/Criminal/Legal record:   Nothing that actually landed on a record, but he did spend brief stints in “Family House”, a place for kids (mostly deemed “out of control”) to go when they couldn’t manage to get along with their parents, essentially giving them a safe place to go outside of their home and to give both parents and child a break from the tension, as a substitute for the foster system, but he only ever spent a few days there at a time.

Vices:   Alcohol

“Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you.

CHARACTER SHEET:: Claude Frollo

TW: Abuse, Mental Illness

Feels like we’re on the edge right now

I wish that I could say I’m proud

I’m sorry that I let you down

Oh, I let you down

All these voices in my head get loud

And I wish that I could shut them down

ORIGINS & FAMILIAL RELATIONS: 

Name: Claude Frollo

Nickname: None

Reason for Name: Claude was named after his grandfather, a man he would never get to meet. He was often told stories of how he was kind and loving and how, as he grew, Claude would grow to look like him too. 

Birthday: 11 April 1981 (Pisces)

Age: 36

Gender: Male

Place of Birth: Vercors, France

Places lived since: Swynlake, England

Number of siblings: None

Relationship with family (close? estranged?)

Marc Olivier Frollo (father): Claude remebers very little of his father, his death happened so long ago. What he does remember he holds onto dearly, for it is the love he rememered his father having for him that he keeps selfishly for himself. He has fragmentary memories of helping his father on their quaint little farm, the French countryside rolling around him. He remebers gentle hands and a humble smile, dirt-caked fingernails and a deep, soothing voice...though he knows very little of him, Claude mises what he remebers. The sanctuary he was promised by his parents was an empty one and that is the one bitterness he holds against his father. For not knowing. For dying. [FC: Jean Dujardin] 

Amélie Frollo ( neé Duchesneau) (mother): What Claude remenbers of his mother is a sweet voice and soft hands, a warm home and a full table. Though they were not the most well-off Amélie always made sure her son had food in his belly. The memories he has of her are perhaps the fuzziest of all but what he does know he holds close to his heart. [FC: Anna Silk]

Laurent (ward of): Claude’s meories of Laurent are the ones that overrid everything else. The man was a walking demon in Claude’s life, a gaping hole so wide that left him paralized with fear, regret, and so much anger he could choke on it. It was because of this man that Claude’s life had been so altered and it largely because of him that the priest found himself in Swynlake in the first place.

Happiest memory: Playing with the family dog in the hills just outside the family farm.

Childhood trauma: Laurent’s physical, mental, and sexual abuse.

PHYSICAL:

Height: 5′10″ (177.8 centimeters)

Weight: 159 lbs (72 kg)

Build: Tall and wiry but well-muscled

Nationality: French

Complexion (freckles, acne, skin tone, birthmarks): Claude has clear skin with few blemishes. He has freckles that lightly span across the bridge of his nose and cheekbones and across his shoulders but they are hard to see unless you’re looking for them.

Distinguishing facial features: Claude has his mother’s eyes, or so he has been told. They are a striking blue and stand out rather starkly against his fair complexion. 

Hair color: Dark brown

Usual hairstyle: Cut short usually though if it is a bit longer he finger-combs it back

Eye color: Blue

Glasses? Contacts?: Neither

Style of dress/typical outfit(s): When he isn’t wearing his priest’s garb, Claude can be found rather casual in jeans, t-shirts, and sweaters. He prefers comfort over extravagance unless it is absolutely required of him. 

Typical style of shoes: Nice dress shoes when preaching but otherwise he can be found barefoot (at home) or in tennis shoes/boots, depending on the weather. 

Health (is this person usually sick? or very resilient?): Claude was a rather sickly child. Perhaps this was due to a natural disposition (as many believed) but the boy knew it was primarily because of the magic that weakened his immune system. Under Laurent’s “care” it was primarily due to the neglect and abuse that he was subjected to. However, as an adult, Claude rarely gets sick, as long as he sleeps and eats enough.

Grooming (does she/he wear makeup? shower daily? wear only clean clothes? pluck his/her eyebrows?): Claude has to keep up an appearance of cool, calm and collected so he is incredibly meticulous about his grooming habits. Part of this is his constant need to please, which stems primarily from the abuse he sustained at the hands of Laurent. Being belittled, struck, or starved when he was not in complete compliance with the deacon left an impression. In all of this, to say Claude doesn’t mind being dirty is an understatement. Occasionally, he can be found elbow deep in dirt out back and not care. Occasionally, he lets himself sleep in and not worry about the fact that he has to have perfectly quaffed hair and a collar buttoned up all the way to his chin. 

Jewelry? Tattoos? Piercings?: HAHAHAA yes ok so he has them. Two very large ones in fact. A chest tattoo, that extends over his right shoulder to about his elbow, of an angel. She looks down and her wings are folded behind her. Though many assume it to be just a religious symbol it is also more than that, personal. The angel is meant to represent his mother. It was done in an act of defiance while he was in law school. His second, though smaller, resembles a mix of this picture: the cross on his left forearm, twisted around with thorns and an olive branch running up the “stem” of the cross. That one is more just because he liked it. And he used to have a piercing but he took that out after passing the bar, though he’s considered putting it back. 

Accent?: Super French. I kinda imagine this but softer? Idk he’s adorable love him

Unique mannerisms/physical habits: When he’s nervous or unsure, Claude tends to rub the back of his head or neck or, occasionally, his throat. It is not so much a comfort thing as it is a habit. When he’s thinking he chews on his bottom lip or whistles between his front teeth.

Athletic: Uh he exercises if that’s what you’re asking? Occasionally he will play games with the children after church. 

INTELLECT:

Level of education: A bachelor’s degree in pre-law (or whatever the equivalent of this is in France). He also passed the (French equivalent) of the bar exam and is technically a lawyer alongside his seminary schooling that was done.

Level of self-esteem: Claude is much more confident than he was in France. Though he won’t say it, I equate it to the absence of Laurent in his life. However, he is still pretty soft-spoken and can doubt his motives, opinions, or ideas when he is feeling down. 

Gifts/talents: Claude is a gifted orator and people flock to him to listen to what he has to say, despite the fact that he often does not go looking for this. He is also rather adept at playing the organ (cathedral organs ftw) and that translates over to knowing how to play the piano relatively well, too, though that took more practice bc it is different.

Shortcomings: Claude is incredibly hard on himself. Again, this stems from Laurent the demon deacon.

Style of speech (loud, mumbler, articulate, etc.): Claude’s words are pretty easy to understand because he has to speak clearly and concisely for both of his professions. His accent is light but not too bad. 

“Left brain” or “right brain” thinker?: 

Artistic?: Kinda? He can make figurines. 

Mathematical?: Yes, definitely. He did most of the church’s finances. 

Languages?: French, English (maybe something else later idk)

Neuroses: He can be occasionally paranoid.

Life philosophy: tbd

Religious stance:  A naughty Catholic schoolgirl basically

Cautious or daring?: Cautious at work, daring everywhere else. 

Optimist or pessimist?: Generally pretty optimistic but he becomes an occasionally sad drunk so that’s when is pessimism rears its ugly head.

Extrovert or introvert?: Extroverted definitely, though he likes being alone.

Level of comfort with technology: Decently comfortable. He isn’t completely useless at it but not the best either.

RELATIONSHIPS:

Current marital/relationship status: Lowkey a man whore. He enjoys the finer aspects of people. 

Sexual orientation: Does sexual count? I honestly don’t know. Maybe pansexual?

Past relationships: NOPE not touching that one

A social person? (popular, loner, some close friends, makes friends and then quickly drops them): Claude is a rather simple person tbh but he tends to acquire people and not really understand how he gets them? 

Most comfortable around (person): He is most comfortable around those he sees on a day-to-day basis (like his congregation) though perhaps two of the people he was/is most comfortable around are Jim Grant, Annette’s father, who has recently passed, and Roscoe Sykes. FOR WHATEVER REASON he is incredibly fond of the man and it is lowkey adorable hilarious. I can’t wait to see what Lauren and I can do with that.

SECRETS:

Life goals: Claude wants to be a good man, he does. But he also has his secrets and he has to get by them. He is a sinful man and, for a priest, that is not a good thing. I also want him to be comfortable using his degree as a lawyer to bail out Roscoe from jail probs his advantage/as another career option. 

Dreams: Claude has always wished to own property out in the countryside. He enjoys the quiet and the solitude. He had always dreamed of buying his family property back from the church but that has yet to happen and may never because he doesn’t dare show his face in France again, not after Laurent.

Greatest fears: Someone digging Laurent out of his past. Or, better yet, Laurent not being dead. 

Most ashamed of: Not being strong enough to stop the things Laurent did.

Compulsions: Claude occasionally has urges to harm people, irrationally, or to try on feminine articles of clothing. This is attributed to his personalities ghosting over into his dominant persona. 

Obsessions: Claude himself is not obsessed with anything but Arnaud is obsessed with the Romani dancer from France and anyone who looks like them.

Secret hobbies: Claude enjoys hiking and rock climbing and if he could do them often he would. 

Secret skills: He can tie the stem of a cherry with his tongue haha ok ok seriously ummmm I think he can whittle. Or he used to draw. He didn’t have much free time outside of the church as a kid so he learned to do things.

Crimes committed (and was he/she caught? charged?): Technically Claude murdered Laurent but he doesn’t remember doing it, just finding him, but he can put two and two together. He suspects that much of the old congregation may have caught on so he could technically be a wanted man rn. 

What he/she most wants to change about his/her current life: He has waffled back and forth about whether or not to use his law degree or not. 

What he/she most wants to change about his/her physical appearance: He actually would not? He likes how he looks. Maybe put his earring back in? 

DETAILS & QUIRKS:

Night owl or early bird?: Early bird completely. The man likes his sleep and he uses most nights to do that. 

Light or heavy sleeper?: Heavier sleeper than he was with Laurent but he still wakes up if he hears a noise downstairs. 

Favorite food:  Sablé Breton

Least favorite food: Escargot (he’s French but snails are meant to live on the ground not to be eaten thank you very much)

Favorite book: tbd (he needs a favorite book)

Least favorite book: Anything by Jules Verne. He just can’t get into the whole “there’s a world at the center of the earth” premise. Or that a man traveled around in a submarine for his entire life like? No thank you. 

Favorite movie: Casablanca probably 

Least favorite movie: tbd

Favorite song: na

Least favorite song: na

Crunchy or smooth peanut butter?: Smooth peanut butter

Lefty or righty?: Lefty

Favorite color: Yellow or white

Cusser?: YEP

Smoker? Drinker? Drug user?: He still smokes and drinks and he used to do drugs back in college but they were not the hard kind. Mainly ecstasy or acid etc. He could be persuaded to take something of that nature again though, depending on who’s offering it. I know he is the worst priest. 

Biggest regret: Not returning to his countryside home when he had the chance. 

Pets?: One cat currently, called Saint. He’s all black, roams around the church grounds as a mouser.
