Character Name: Amos Burton
Canon: The Expanse
Canon Point: just before the end of s05e09... he thinks he is escaping a nuclear winter apocalypse to go back to space. joke's on him when he wakes up
Character Age: mid-late 30s... anywhere from 35-38 probably?? he doesn't know and neither do I
Info: A journal info page! apparently nobody updates The Expanse wiki but here's his just to cover bases
Personality:
Strengths
— He's self-sufficient. You put Amos in just about any situation and he'll adapt to it in order to get shit done. He's someone very resourceful who doesn't need his hand held in order to accomplish a goal.
— He's a survivalist. At the end of the day, Amos just wants to make it to the end of the day — by any means necessary. Doesn't matter how difficult the environment is, he knows how to live through it and is highly motivated to do so.
— He has no sentiment*. Things go sideways? People get left behind or die? People have to be killed? That's fine by him; whatever he has to do and whoever he has to leave behind to make it to the end is fine by him.
Weaknesses
— He's aimless. Amos' biggest nerf is that, when left to his own devices, he just doesn't care — not about goals or people or anything. He's basically an NPC you have to convince to join the party.
— He's trigger-happy. If Amos can shoot his way out of a problem that's basically the first thing he's doing. Not that he's incapable of stealth or reason but he's a man who likes efficiency, and putting a bullet in someone's brain is a remarkably efficient way of removing a problem, so why consider anything else?
— He has no sentiment*. Not really caring about any of the people you're with — at least from a starting point — is not exactly conducive to a good team environment. Amos does have the potential to cause conflict among allies just by being himself.
*This all goes out the window if we're talking about kids or anyone who looks like a kid, which is its own strength and weakness (he has a soft side/is human after all vs. he'll blow up the entire mission to keep a kid safe).
Suitability: Amos is built for the apocalypse! While he didn't grow up in one, he grew up in an environment similar to it — somewhere largely lawless where the strongest had the best chance of survival. It's the only way he really knows how to live, so he's prepared to work in this world.
— Adaptability. There's very little that fazes Amos; he's great at rolling with the punches, no matter what's thrown at him.
— A cool head. Since it takes a lot to get to Amos, he can be counted on for analyzing a situation logically, and being ready to do whatever needs to be done without any angst on his part. He's calm, collected, and largely unfazed by pressure. If shit hits the fan he's great at taking charge and delegating tasks so they can get out of the situation.
— Survival skills. Not only is Amos a survivalist, but he's also coming off of being in an apocalyptic wintery landscape, so he knows how to live and travel in one.
— Good at shooting a gun. He likes guns so much. Of course he's good with them.
— Mechanics. The technology will be old to him, but as a spaceship mechanic he could probably fix up a car — or anything else — if they come across something and need to.
— Basic first aid. Giving someone stitches, resetting dislocated limbs or crafting a splint; if it's normie healing that's required, he's capable. (Or tourniquets, or getting someone set for amputation...)
Any Additional Info: n/a he's just a normal dude! thank god
