IC:
Character name: Darcy Lewis
Fandom: Marvel Movieverse (Thor)
Timeline: End of Thor, after the Bifrost is destroyed and the Earth team gets to work on their end.
Age: Early 20-something. Still a college student.
~*Magical*~ abilities and strengths: None whatsoever.
Okay so she’s good at noticing little things right away that her much smarter co-workers easily overlook. And she’s awesome at tazing gods.
How would they use their abilities?: To be of help I guess. She might not be a scientist or genius like everyone else in the world seems to be, but she is eager.
Appearance: Purely Kat Dennings. Darcy is a cute college student, leaning towards the plain side of the spectrum. Mousy brown hair, brown eyes, and pale skin, she’s not the first to stand out in the crowd. Especially with those hipster glasses she wears while she’s working. She doesn’t wear outstanding outfits with gold weaving and ornate jewels or anything. In all truth her clothing choice is pretty conservative, sweaters, t-shirts, and jeans. She does like to accessorize with cute hats, but it’s all mainly comfy clothes.
Background:
Okay so there’s only a few things stated about her history over the film, since, y’know, being a side-character and all. Darcy is a student at Culver University majoring in political science. She began working for Jane Foster and Erik Selvig after she was the only applicant in Jane’s predoctoral research on scattered atmospheric events going on out near Puente Antiguo, New Mexico. According to Jane’s research, there was a pattern to these events and could prove to be a connection to a phenomenon called an Einstein-Rosen Bridge, aka wormholes. A connection that came to light during one of these events, when driving into the middle of a sudden sandstorm turns out to be kindof a dumb idea and Darcy accidentally hits a random guy with their van.
Okay so the guy wasn’t completely random. Notice how the name of the movie is Thor? Yeah, it’s like that. As it turned out the dude they hit was Thor Odinson, that one God from Norse mythology, who had been banished to Earth, or “Midgard” as they call it, by Odin for things that happened on their end. And that weird atmospheric event? That was caused by the Asgardians using the Bifrost Bridge, something like a teleporter between Asgard and other worlds. That kind of device leaves residue, an atmospheric change gets noticed by people who are looking for it, like Jane.
So story short, Thor got thrown on Earth and got hit by their van. Naturally there was…mild panic in the group. Erik and Darcy, on the one hand, wanted to take the huge blonde guy, who was most likely disoriented after getting hit by a van and might’ve been drunk before the hit, over to the hospital. Jane, on the other, was more interested in the markings in the sand that was caused by the storm. It got kindof hard to ignore Thor when he took notice of Darcy and started getting confrontational with her. Thinking fast, Darcy pulled out a tazer and shot the guy before he got too close.
Finally pulling Jane away from the markings, the trio drove the unconscious Thor to the hospital and got him set up with the doctors there before returning to their workshop to get some sleep and go over the data they collected the next day. While Jane and Erik were focused on starcharts, Darcy pointed a weird human shape in one of the spectrum photos. All of them realizing who might be able to explain that, the trio left for the hospital
Turned out Thor managed to easily escape his constraints and also managed to get hit by the van. Again. Bringing him back to the workshop, they got Thor cleaned up and into some fresh clothes while Jane tried to question him about the storm. Thor largely ignored all their questions, requiring something to eat instead. Out at a Isabela’s Diner, Jane tried again, but Thor was too busy being distracted by everything, especially by some random trucker talking about a ‘government satellite’ they found in the middle of the desert. Thor immediately headed out in that direction while the three, not wanting to get involved with something that the government was interested in, headed back to the workshop, only to find the same government suits ransacking the place and taking all of Jane’s equipment. And Darcy’s ipod.
Jane sought out Thor, who actually hadn’t left town yet, while Erik and Darcy were left with nothing really to do but wait for a response from Erik’s friend who could help them. Finding a book of Norse mythology in the library, Darcy began skimming the thing out of boredom. And then Thor got arrested by S.H.I.E.L.D. and Erik had to drag Jane back to the workshop before she got caught trespassing. This time Jane seemed more open to the mythology nonsense that Thor had been sputtering before, which Erik desperately tried to dissuade her from. Darcy’s input to the argument, that the Vikings might’ve worshiped the Asgardians as gods since they were highly advanced, finally got Erik to back down and agree to help get Thor out of S.H.I.E.L.D. custody. That night Erik and Jane do some soul bonding with the Asgardian while Darcy’s…not there. Probably went to bed or something.
The next morning in the workshop, tensions between everyone from the day before like completely dropped, much to Darcy’s surprise/relief. Their breakfast was then interrupted by the appearance of three guys and a chick decked out in Renaissance costumes knocking at their window. Turns out the four, Lady Sif and the Warriors Three (Fandral, Hogun, and Volstagg), were friends of Thor and had come to bring Thor back to Asgard so he could reclaim the throne from his brother Loki while Odin slept. Thor was understandably confused by all this, since Loki had told him their father was dead while Thor was being held by S.H.I.E.L.D., but their discussion was put on hold by the sudden appearance of the Destroyer sent by Loki. The Asgardians fought to hold weapon back while Jane, Erik, and Darcy evacuated the town. The fight ended with Thor regaining his powers through an act of self-sacrifice. In the aftermath, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents arrived on the scene to do some damage control, allowing Jane to continue her research under S.H.I.E.L.D. surveillance.
The Asgardians left to finish their fight with Loki, Thor promising to return once it was all over. Jane, Erik, and Darcy watched on as the atmospheric events got worse and worse before suddenly stopping. Thor won his fight, but at the cost of destroying the Bifrost, his means of returning to Earth. The trio jumped right back into their research with newfound ambition, looking to find a way to open a path from their side.
Personality:
Darcy is the Scooby-Doo (or little helper-gnome) of the group paraphrasing from the actress herself, used primarily as the plucky comic relief. She’s pretty much the odd man out in a group of scientists, and while Darcy’s not incapable or flat out stupid by any means, the research she’s helping with is way out of her league. And yet, she’s pretty much the glue that holds it all together.
Still a college student, Darcy has sort of a habit of being about three steps behind those around her. Presumably, she applied to be Jane’s assistant for the credit hours and was chosen by default when no one else applied. Political science majors aren’t usually going to be the first to sign up for a job offered by the Astrophysics department, so Darcy may have just been desperate for the credit hours and applied wherever she could. Not her first choice, but where she ended up, as evidenced by her lack of knowledge in what their research was even about.
At first impressions, Darcy comes off as a bit of an airhead. Definitely in her own world half the time, Darcy can be seen playing with her cell phone or iPod when she’s not really useful to the proceedings around her. Mostly her mood is very mellow, with quips and snark lining a lot of her speech. But she also wears her emotions on her sleeve, like reacting impulsively with her tazer when confronted. Darcy has a certain openness to absorbing ideas or theories that those with a very scientific mind might not, and she’s not one to hold her opinions to herself. But Darcy is a good friend, even sticking around with Jane in the end so she can help open a way to Asgard.
Because of her lack of knowledge in the field, plus her somewhat-ditzy persona, Jane and Erik initially don’t think much of Darcy and tend to ignore her for their own discussions. When left to her own devices, Darcy’s moments of brilliance shine through. She might look like she’s not paying attention, but then it’s her random observations that end up helping Jane the most. She was the first to find the abnormality in the spectrometer photographs, and the first one to come to the conclusion that Thor might know something about it. During Jane and Erik’s argument, Darcy is the one who reasons that although Thor might not have been a God, it’s completely plausible for primitive cultures to have revered him as such. While not a member of their fields, Darcy does respect the people she works for and tries to help where she can.
Have you read up on how the game works?: The Guide plugin is called Flaming Ferret, and ways to earn money includes missions, odd-jobs, and begging.
1st person sample:
[voice -> video]
Hey um Jane? Dr. Selvig? If either of you are hearing this, I think something just went really wrong.
[To those of you who are hearing this, you might notice the confused assistant showing up on your screen a few minutes after that initial audio. Darcy’s been playing around with the new toy so time to be serious.]
Hey check it out, video and voice chat, texting, even wifi. Guess getting a new off brand-iPad for free is kindof cool. Almost helps with the whole Earth getting blown up thing. They totally got me sold with the towel and freaky ear-fish.
[Actually no not really that fish-thing was just mega gross. At least the towel’s nice an soft, because that makes everything better.]
I kindof take it I’m pretty much stuck here. I mean I tried to make a call but my cell has like zero bars here so that was a total bust. Shouldn’t really be that surprising, it’s hard enough getting one bar in the many Middle of Nowheres, U.S., let alone deep space being in my coverage area.
[Huffing a bit, so now what? She’s stuck on a spaceship, surrounded by the aliens from MIB, and probably no one else she knows is within lightyears of her.]
Maybe I can get Angry Birds to work on this Guide-thing…
3rd person sample:
These last few hours haven’t been all that great really. What started out as a dream about going to the DMV, who actually dreams about doing that, just got weirder and weirder when the aliens started crowding in. Not really having much to do, Darcy pulled out her cell phone, much to her disappointment.
“No service? Come on, I just paid my bill yesterday, what a ripoff.” Looking around, Darcy randomly picked out the first alien nearby.
“Oh hey –um- guy with the…” Lifting up her hands over her head, Darcy makes a half-hearted attempt to imitate the horn-shape of this alien’s head. Oh wait that might be racist around here. Oops. “…head-thing? Yeah I think that’s a head… Know where I can get a signal boost? Look look-” Leaning up real close to the alien, Darcy pointed at the screen. “See, I’m supposed to have full coverage everywhere but I’m getting like zero out here and I really need to call up my boss and tell her I’m seriously not taking a sick day…” Meanwhile that same alien is making a B-line as far away from her as possible. “…and there you go.”
A bit put off, Darcy watched on in awkward thanks jerk silence. “Thanks for the help. Not really…” Huffing a bit, Darcy looked around a bit, not actually looking for anything. Lots of colors, big heads, some furries, even a couple of humans in the mix. No wait scratch that, that guy has pointy ears. What a messed up dream this was turning into.
