Take Two
Character: Randy Maclean, AKA Ryo
Series: FAKE
Age: Late 20s
Job: Counselor to Troubled Youth
Canon: The world of FAKE is one littered with murder mysteries, gay cops, and cockblocking galore. At the very center of this story are two cops, Dee and Ryo, who work together to handle New York City's crimes while developing a very slow but steady romance. The "good cop" in this "good cop, bad cop" partnership, Ryo is a generally well-mannered and soft-spoken man who follows the rules and completes his paperwork on time, the same of which can't be said for his partner. Add onto that a sharp sense for sleuthing, a generous heart, and a firm sense of morals and it's plain to see why Ryo's the precinct favorite.
Outside the office, Ryo's a loving and firm father figure to kids and a man who enjoys the simple things like cooking and cleaning. He's a little dense when it comes to matters of the heart as related to himself, but usually right on the ball when it comes to others. While all of this should add up to Ryo being a complete pushover, his occasional postal-worker outbursts tend to keep people from pulling anything funny. He knows when and how to put his foot down and is more likely to deliver a firm punch to the head than allow people under his care to get away with mischief.
Sample Post:
All right guys, attention over here. And you two give Jimmy back his leg right now, I mean it. Is everyone here? Let me begin by introducing myself; my name's Randy Maclean and I've been hired as your new camp counselor. Now I've been told that this group has been a little rowdier than the rest of the campers around here, so I'll be working exclusively with you guys until we work out some of those... uh, bad habits that you kids have picked up. Or at least until you guys stop hotwiring the robot cows.
A-Anyway, I'm sure that you're all wondering why you would need a personal counselor. The director is greatly concerned about your development into adults and frankly she's also tired of you mindlessly walking around like, well. Like zombies. So I'll be here to teach you guys how to find a healthy and safe balance of fun and work. Ah, and to make things more relevant we'll be covering topics that you can apply to everyday problems you face here in camp. Issues that you're all dealing with out there on the stree- er, swamps, like the organ black market or that ongoing turf war between the Legless gang and the One-Eyes. ... Those are just nicknames, right?
To start things off, I'd like to delve into a more serious issues. Drug usage, or ah, as the locals put it, "licking the Marcy," has been on the rise recently and it's important that you stay well-informed on the topic. Now I know you've heard over and over that drugs are bad for you, but I think you'll gain a better understanding if you actually see the effects on your body. Hold on, I've got a... aha, here it is. This is your brain. Erm, in this case Jimmy's brain, thank you again for volunteering it to the class. See how nice and healthy it looks? At least I think this is how a healthy one looks. It's all in one piece and not green, in any case. Now compare it to this brain, which is a model of a brain on dru-
... Or what was supposed to be a model and looks very much like it isn't. George, I noticed that your head is looking particularly lopsided. Oh don't smile at me like that, we're still having a talk later. And I'll be holding onto this as well.
If we can continue on, I've got here in my suitca-- ... Er, that is... has anyone seen my suitcase? Yes, that one right there, now could you please give it bac- I really don't think it's a good idea if you go through my things- Those are police property--!
... This is why we don't go through other people's things without permission. Handcuffs are not a toy, and with my things all over the floor like this it'll take forever to find the keys. Meanwhile, poor Jimmy's stuck to that tree that's trying to walk awa-
J-Jimmy!! We're coming!
