I'm a 20+ roleplayer! I primarily prefer literate/semi-literate forms of rp, but I'm happy to match my writing partner
My portrayal of Waterboy is based off the canon game, interactions in official art, and my own personal headcanons. I write him post-canon (after all the Shroud events) and post-encouragement from Robert, so his speech/anxiety is not quite as broken, but he does still fumble his words from overthinking.
He may stray from canon, but I only know so much! And I hope you'll enjoy messing around with him anyway. 🫰

ASKS & RP
Asks from ANYONE are welcome! No rules about them! If an ask bothers me/crosses a line I just wont answer it.
Shipping and NSFW is OK! 👍 There may be NSFW on this account but I will always tag it accordingly.
I'm semi-selective, but if you want to roleplay with me just drop me a starter! Or we can plot together hehe
Admin is an adult! If you're a minor I'm fine to interact and talk, but NO nsfw talk!
Content and boundary-wise, I'm fine with touching on some uncomfortable topics. If there's anything you aren't sure if I'll be fine with, just ask! I'm not judgemental.
Activity will be a bit shaky, I'm quite busy IRL so please give me time to get back to you
Give me ragebaiter Flambae vs. (unintentionally) weaponized incompetence Waterboy.
Immovable object against unstoppable force.
Flambae spending the calls they get sent on together trying to rile Waterboy up, only to end up getting angry himself when Waterboy asks for the fourth time how to do the same fucking thing.
And Waterboy, just being so nervous and focused on doing things right, acting like a proper hero, he doesn't even notice the snide remarks sent his way. Instead, Waterboy keeps on checking in with Flambae without realizing that it's driving the other hero up the wall.
Even worse, Flambae begins to notice that the more hopeless the situation is, the more likely it is that Waterboy comes out on top, completely unfazed and uninjured.
So why the fuck does he keep on asking the most oblivious shit?
Herm who can always read the teams bodies better than they can.
Robert finds a steaming cup of lemon and ginger tea on his desk when he walks in with a slightly sore throat that he was going to write off as sleeping funny. (Herm heard how horse it sounded on the last call of the day yesterday)
Flambae finding ibuprofen in his locker at the end of a shift because his shoulder has been acting up all day with the heavy lifting calls. (Herm saw him stretching it with a wince at the start of the day)
Chase finding a warm heat pack on his chair when he gets in on an uncharacteristically chilly morning. (Herm knows his knee always acts up in the cold)
Mal and Prism finding chocolates and pads in their lockers because against their will, they've managed to sync up. (Herm doesn't exactly keep track, but their moods were off yesterday, so he took a guess)
Visi running out of her inhaler in the middle of a shift, about to pack it in and call Robert to get sonar to pick her up so she can get her refill but finding it in her back pocket, completely unaware of ever putting it there. (Herm counts her puffs and knows her locker combination)
Herm who just notices things and acts on them because he can. And because he loves them.
to Mun: Season's greetings! I received your follow a while back, I feel bad not interacting with you! To be honest I was waiting to see some threads written with you by other people before I interacted. Now I just feel like I've blown you off >:d. I hope the year has been kind to you. Never stop writing!
To Muse: It's one of those dollar store trophy tags, but someone either forgot to, or purposefully left blank what place the trophy was for?... maybe they are waiting to see where they land.
// Awwh, that's totally fine!! Honestly I haven't interacted with people a lot on here, I feel bad ;0; But pls feel free to message me if you want! I mostly roleplay privately ngl, but if you wanted to see any examples of my writing style I've done a few threads on @riskyrunaway <3 (ik it's not Herm but you can at least decide if you like how I write/if you wanna write with me that way!!). I hope you had a great time over the holiday season and wish you a Happy New Year!! :3
Herman squinted as he looked over the trophy tag, someone had seemingly left it in the janitor's closet.. maybe they'd lost it? It was blank, one of those generic 'participant' or 'runner-up' awards you could buy at a dollar store. But who left this here, with no label? A fan? A secret admirer? A random stranger? Herm could only ponder, picking the trophy off the ground and turning it over in his hands curiously.
"Hey bud," Robert says, tapping and leaning at the doorway of the break room so as not to startle Herm. "I just wanted to thank you for your part in the big fight. You really stepped up there."
Waterboy still tensed at the sudden voice, whirling around wide eyed, only to relax slightly when he saw it was just Robert. "Oh- Hi! Hey, Robert.." Herm just about managed.
"No- Not a problem! I did my very. My best, but.. you don't need to thank me." He trailed off into an awkward mumble as he fidgeted with his white, damp gloves. The fight had been... intense. Messy. But hearing Robert praise him like that made Herm’s chest feel warm despite all of it. "We all did good." He added, not an ounce of doubt in those words.
