MARTIN K BLACKWOOD

Player Information
Player Name	Rho	Contact	katoptron \| rhokosigan
AKA	I keep playing this Martin guy places! Also playing Miles in Trib.
Character Basics
Character Name	Martin Blackwood	Series/Canon	The Magnus Archives
AU/PG/Canon Point	Post Canon & Sidereal & Serpentine Horizon	Cottage	Nest
Canon Details	Being post Sidereal, technically, he's going to recognize some real random people. Also he's on his third marriage to Jon at this point.
Character Details
Age	31	Pronouns	he/him
Physical Stature	6'6", tall and broad	Hair/Eyes	Roan (with white streaks)/one blue & one gold
Notable Traits	Generally, a rather normal-looking ginger Brit. Seems a bit nervous and twitchy, but with more resolve than you'd think.
15 Second Summary	Large and soft, predisposed to wearing jumpers. Has some definite bad vibes floating around him? There will be more bad vibes once he gets his "skills" back. He's a gentle nerd with a sharp side trying to survive an HP Lovecraft universe.
Abilities & Permissions
Abilities	Currently completely normal, but will eventually have some cool Lonely and Eye shenanigans.
Permissions	Don't break fingers/toes, don't mess with fingernails/toenails. FTB for anything above, like, a mild R rating.
Sensing	Anyone with supernatural senses can see two distinct shadows on him: one sorta like an eye and one that eats subtly away at the edges of his being. Both are distinct but the latter one is weirdly blurry. If you have REALLY GOOD senses, you can also see a very faint fractal pattern, a few tryptophobia-esque holes as if from some burrowing parasite, and a blackened spot right around where he's missing his left pinkie.

[PSL-Adjacent] time travel side story

2020-08-23T12:56:12Z

[ Is this part of the other PSL? MAYBE ... tbd.

But - this is the Martin who went back in time to the second season, before everything really started going to hell. It hasn't been the most pleasant ride - seeing himself, accidentally triggering Not-Sasha's attack, the confrontation with Elias - but it's been better. He'd begged Michaelen not to take him back for multiple reasons. Yes, he thinks help more here, but ... he also doesn't want to go home to die. Not when there's a Jon here who's willing to love him, when Tim is blossoming into a new best friend, and even Martin is slowly moving towards self-acceptance in a literal sense.

For the first time in months, Martin - no, Algric - sees the shape of what a peaceful life could be. This could be a world where he lives in Jon's flat for the rest of his life, where he doesn't only have to be a helpful ghost. The Lonely is still too strong in him, but he feels it weakening in spots, where Tim and Jon and Martin have all helped him remember what it's like to have human connection.

That's why he's here at Hilltop Road. He dares to hope now; he dares to consider the possibility that he might get to keep all of this. And if he wants to keep this, he has to make sure there's no way back to the hell he left. Michaelen's appearance had scared him more deeply than he wants to let on.

As he mounts the steps to the rickety old house, Algric takes in a shivering breath. It's fine. It's fine, this is fine, he's just - just going to look. And if there's a creepy basement with a crack in the world, he's not going to go through it! He's just going to. See if it's there or not. If he thinks his timeline is on the other side or not. ]

[PSL] time travel, time travel

[ Martin had always known that Lukas would kill him in the end. If not along the way, then surely at the end, once he'd gotten what he wanted out of Martin, whatever that turned out to be. When the Lonely rose up to swallow him, he'd accepted his impending death with ... what?

What did he have left, really? Numbness, mostly. A hallucination of Jon in the Lonely, looking for him, but - but that was impossible, ridiculous. His mind playing cruel tricks. He settled himself down in the frigid surf, knees drawn up close to his chest, unshed tears frozen to his cheeks and lashes.

And then. A door. A door that shouldn't exist, that couldn't exist. That he shouldn't take at all. The Lonely was terrible, yes, but it was quiet, and it was peaceful. Martin was aligned enough with it by now to very nearly enjoy it, in a strange and terrible way. The Spiral would be infinitely worse than this quiet beach.

But ... it was hope, too. In a strange way. Hope enough that Martin found himself turning the door handle and stepping through, leaving the false comfort of the Lonely behind him.

The transition was unpleasant. Long. But Martin couldn't remember it after; he only remembered stumbling out through the door of a supply closet somewhere deep in the Archives, blinking up at the dim bulbs that pretended to be sufficient. What time was it? Had he escaped? Where were Lukas and Elias now?

And where was Jon? ]

[IC] [Prisma] Statement Inbox

2020-03-08T17:36:36Z

Sending a statement (or any message) to this communicator inbox results in the following automated message:

"Thank you for submitting a statement to the Prismatica Auxiliary Magnus Institute. Your submission has been accepted on (today's date).

The current Archival Assistant (Martin Blackwood) will follow up with any questions we have. Thank you!"

Before submission, you'll get a little warning box saying that that only written/electronic statements should be submitted; he is not liable for any side effects that may occur if you choose to submit an audio recording.

... You're also free to blow up this inbox with stupid shit and creepypasta instead, though Martin may get a bit irate.

(And OOCly, if you want to link to a canon clip or otherwise say something like THE LAST TWENTY MINUTES OF INFINITY WAR that's fine too. Just specify if the statement is written or verbal. If you submit a verbal statement, we're gonna have to talk Consequences.

Note that these statements are getting ICly eaten by Jon and are probably fueling some kind of eldritch horror terror, just as a heads up.)

[ There's an extremely nervous, agitated Brit near Sidereal's fountain today. Tall, red-haired, and freshly arrived by the sounds of him. ]

Oh - oh god. You knew that door wasn't supposed to be there, you knew it, and you went through anyway, Martin, you absolute idiot --

[ What's he babbling about? Who knows. There is ... something unpleasant coiled around him, invisible to human eyes, but maybe not to someone more supernaturally inclined. ]
