Descriptions

Visual: A young mixed-race man of 30 with strong Chinese heritage. About 5'7", black hair and Asian features. Skinny, in the way of a diet with very little processed foods, but densely packed with muscles. Keeps his hair short and styled neatly with pomade, clean-shaved and well-dressed, usually in a shirt and jacket, but will occasionally switch it up and wear a vest, but rarely a tie; prefers suspenders over a belt. He's got a few scars here and there; lots around his knuckles and hands especially from some time spent as a boxer, and a nose that's mostly broken on the inside rather than visually.

There's also a permanent set of bruises around his neck, that very explicitly look like hands strangling him that crushes his trachea. He will usually try to hide these.

Voice: Mid-range, trending high, with a strong 1930s Boston accent which I have no idea how to write. Speaks Cantonese as well, and while his accent for it is atrocious, his fluency is native.


IC Permissions

Physical affection: Surprisingly yes! He's a hardboiled 1930's detective so what he won't discuss with words he will apply with physical affection!

Romance/flirting: Parker is a shining beacon of boyish charm when he wants to be, and also extremely gay. He'll take anyone as far as his bedroom door before he reveals the news.

Physical violence: Please. Parker was the brawns in the brain-brawns duo of Lester and Yang, Private Investigators, he will be so ready to punch things.

Injury: Absolutely, let's coordinate that shit!

Mind-reading: Go for it! Parker has no protection against mental bullshit in any capacity, he is a regular human in a Lovecraft world, he's fucked.


OOC Permissions

Backtagging: Hell yeah

Reminders: I often get distracted and Sail is my secondary game so feel free to remind me!

Edits: lmao of course, if I got something wrong let me know!

Fourth-walling: Go nuts on acknowledging the Lovecraft canon, since Parker has no idea about any of it, but himself specifically as a fictional character, no thanks. HOWEVER if Arthur's told you about him, feel free to bring that up!

Threadjacking: I'd prefer you ask, but I'm rarely opposed

Anything else: Ping me on Discord or a pm/comment here if there's any permissions you want me to tap/something I've missed!


Content Warnings

While Parker himself is adjacent at best to the general story of Malevolent, he is a mixed-race gay man from the 1930s and accustomed to violence. He's extremely used to being a victim of prejudice and will often react pre-emptively if he feels like he's being viewed in such a way, often with violence or bright and cheerful threats thereof.

As a member of a Lovecraft media he's also familiar with cults, kidnappings, severe violence, missing persons and deaths relating to; and while less directly, there's also the chance of discussing eldritch gods and psychotic breaks.

CHARACTER
Name: Peter "Parker" Yang
True Name: Peter Yang
Canon: Malevolent (technically pre-series)
Age: 30 because I said so
History: Wiki page; it's worth noting that Parker was dead wife'd fridged in episode 1, so we have extremely limited information about him and he's going to be largely headcanon.

Powers/Abilities: Parker is an experienced boxer and free-style brawler, and excellent at intimidation tactics via breaking things, so can (usually) break objects while doing fairly minimal harm to himself.

He was also a moderately successful private investigator before he met Arthur, and had a reputation for being nosey, stiff and particularly hard-boiled; he's a chatterbox who's good at cutting to the core of people and making friends, and appears to be very observant when it comes to people's interests and tells.

Inventory: Brass knuckles, a .45 automatic and bullets to spare. Plus the clothes on his back; a shirt, vest, suspenders and slacks.

Job History:
- Underground boxer
- Private investigator

Suppressions: Eldritch bullshit. You don't live in Arkham without a healthy fear of any sort of weird cult nonsense, and Parker has been commented on reacting extremely poorly to seeing a symbol of Shub Niggurath during one of their investigations; Arthur noticed that it "chilled Parker to the core", and that he was more wary on entering the building to begin with; he may have a sort of sixth sense for eldritch powers pressing on the world around him, and tries to ignore this as much as he can.

Also the fact that his best friend of multiple years turned around with ZERO warning ans strangled him to death, also not great. Since he's coming from within moments of that happening, he's gonna be pretty Not Okay about it.

Greatest Fear: Eldritch bullshit coming for him or his family. As of recently, that fear was realised, so he's a bit on edge. New fear unlocked of strangulation.

Greatest Desire: Parker was already living his best life, man, he just wants to get back to it and not be dead anymore.

Greatest Regret: Not being able to do more for his mum, who raised him and taught him how to be a good fucking person. He did his best to protect her and stay out of trouble growing up, despite being a vicious defender of other kids rights, and later used his earnings in underground boxing to keep a roof over her head.

Sample: TDM Toplevel!
