Gregory “Greg” Strickland (middle name up to player)
Age: 54 (Born in 1957)
Appearance information: Needs to have blond hair and be somewhere in the 6’1” -6’ 2” range in height. He’s lost a fair amount of weight due to recent events, but he had a good build before that.
Suggested PB: Daniel Craig (Not mandatory, but he needs to be blond and look like he’s in his early to mid-fifties. He doesn't look a decade younger the way Josh does and while Daniel Craig is younger, his face is lined and he looks older. But please, anyone who meets those criteria is acceptable as a Play by.)
Personality: Prior to his arrest and subsequent indictment for murder, he was a carefree spirit who could be a bit of a flirt (but wasn’t promiscuous; he never cheated on a partner). Liberal and loyal and self-confident and charismatic (and extremely attractive as a young man, women and men were often attracted to him), he was jokingly considered a bad influence in college, because he convinced others to smoke pot (which he stopped doing) and to drink more than they should (which he learned to moderate) and to throw terrible parties that everyone regretted the next morning (there hasn’t been one of those in a long time). In his career, he used those same qualities to get important accounts and to make a name for himself. He used those same qualities in his personal life before settling down with his lover.
After the indictment, his life has changed markedly and it’s hard not to be affected by what he’s gone through. Additionally, his lover had been murdered and he wasn’t given the ability to properly mourn because he had to defend himself against the accusations.
Meta Status: Non-powered
Sexual orientation: Gay and proud of it (he was out and comfortable all through college)
Occupation: Architect (He has a M.Arch. and is properly licensed)
Additional notes:
-He attended NYU with Sean and Josh, started the same year as Sean. He was close friends with Sean and the radicals; introduced Josh to Sean by inviting him to a meeting of the radicals. He also helped Sean get through the breakup. He and Sean met in their first semester literature class.
-He was arrested and indicted on murder charges (see here for reference: hammelinstitute.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=communicationsarchive&action=display&thread=6433) – Sean helped post bail
-He did not commit the aforementioned murder
-He was recently cleared on all charges and has vowed to sue the state for his incarceration
-He has left previous state of residence (should be New York, New Jersey, or Massachusetts but can be discussed) and moved to Vermont to start anew and because he’s lost a great deal of his social circle because of the murder charges. His remaining friends live in Pilot Ridge and that’s enough
-Do not ask him if you’ve seen him in the news. Please don’t.
-He is very liberal. Now he hates the prison industrial complex even more. But he is more cautious because he thinks he’s on a watch list now.
-He and Josh drifted out of contact post-Break Up; he and Sean kept in contact and have a different rhythm of banter than Josh and Sean have. He tends to cut to the quick and has been known to be protective of Sean.
-He had a notorious love of costumes and togas in college.
-He will likely need to find an appropriate way to grieve/vent due to what has happened and so Sean is available for friendship and psychological services, and Josh will sue everyone (please persue this option because it will amuse me).
History: All history notes not listed above are up to the player, but I have some head canon that needs to be discussed with me via PM.
Also, housing will be provided because Greg can stay in Josh's old house rent-free until he gets on his feet again.
