<Say hello to the new member Jason Betts playing 'Wannie Th'Sane'. I
one of the best applications I've seen in a while, it even nicely
included some advice, and even a little gardening tip! >
Character Name: Wannie Th'Sane
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Nationality: Canadian
Department: psychiatric
Job Title: Sociologist/Psychologist
Player/NPC? active
Physical Appearance
Wannie is 5'10" and about 150lbs. He has a conservative blue
haircut, which he keeps spiked straight down the middle of his head.
In fact, no one has ever seen his hair not perfectly spiked and this
has lead many to believe he has either fake hair, or is endorsed by
a hair product supplier of the 24th century. Except for special
occasions he tends to always wear baggy khaki cargo pants with a
tight green t-shirt and a brown bomber jacket.
Personality and Interests
Wannie is charmingly interested in people and society. 'Charmingly'
is his description, others describe his interest as aggresive and
insatiable. He is always trying to help crew members with their
personality problems, and has been known to secretly spread rumours
about crewmates in order to create problems which he can then solve.
His greatest dream is to meet an alien race which he can then
diagnose as sociologically smegged up and attempt to cure. If he
incites animosity between the aliens and humans, which he can then
also cure, all the better. According to his mother, his father was a
spy in her majesty's secret service. His mother told him that he had
died stopping a bullet from hitting the Pope's bulletproof
Popemobile. When Wannie questioned her about the alimony checks he
discovered which came from "Larry's Lorries Limited", she faked a
stroke and then claimed she could no longer say words with the
letter "L" in them. Needless to say, Wannie spent a lot of time as a
child diagnosing his stuffed toys personality problems and trying to
solve their cultural troubles.
History
Wannie has bookshelves full of every book he could find with words
in the title such as: psychology, sociology, social, philosophy, or
Penguin Classics. He claimed to be a self taught PsychoSociologist
(despite the complete lack of any kind of wear on any of his books).
When he discovered that the JMC refused his application on the
grounds that 1. despite his claim to be 'self taught' he couldn't
answer a single question about psychology or sociology, and 2. he
had clearly made up the word PsychoSociologist, he decided to come
back with a degree. The degree he came back with, the next day, had
a lot of white out over the area marked name, and the name Wannie
Th'Sane penciled (actually violet crayoned) in. The application
officials looked at each other and stamped "Blue Dwarf" on his
application, seeing as how no other obvious way to make him go far
far away was forthcoming. He stepped aboard the Blue Dwarf shortly
after its construction was finished, and while looking for a
bathroom accidently got locked in a stasis chamber for the first
several years of its mission.
Favourite Sayings
"I can see you look upset... Well, I think I would know, I am a
PsychoSociologist." "Your mom wrote me the other day for advice on
how to cope with having such an ugly child. How does that make you
feel" "I suppose even if I apologized, you'd still stick that there,
eh?"
