QUIRKS OF BEHAVIOR OR THOUGHT
Does your character have any nervous ticks? What are they?
Lincoln is always fidgeting with something. If his hands aren’t constantly picking at his clothes or fumbling around each other, his leg is quaking. Something that is normally seen in recovering addicts, the constant jostling around makes his brain focused on the movement instead of the anxiety in his mind.
What does your character see for their future?
Lincoln dreams of a future with Rory where they are not in the dome. Where he could bring wrecked records to somewhere like New York and be all set up so he could start his music career.
What is your character talented at?
Link is really talented in anything to do with music. He has what people call perfect pitch, where he can match a key no matter the instrument without even trying. He sings and plays the guitar, mostly, but can also play the piano and the drums. He records and writes his own music in a makeshift recording studio he set up in the spare closet of Wrecked. He’s hoping to one day expand upon the recording side and start his own studio.
Are they talented in something they really don’t want to do?
He is a talented craftsman and can look at different things and create them. It’s not that he doesn’t want to do it, but it’s gotten him into situations where people abuse that side. So he tries not to show it too often to avoid it.
What are your character’s insecurities?
Lincoln feels that he could be too much for some people. He comes off as cocky and overbearing, but it’s a coping mechanism of years of being let down.
