Gordon Try-Out

[Ryuzaki]

All registered members are eligible to try-out for this position (yes even moderators). Remember, you are only allowed to roleplay 1 main character for each roleplay section (and a bunch of your own original characters~), so choose wisely. Only try-out if you know you will be able to make the long-term commitment to the character during our roleplay season. And remember, if you don't get the character you really wanted, you can try-out for another character~

For this try-out you will write a sample roleplay that is at least 1.5 paragraphs in length that responds to the following scenario:

[Gordon gets lost somewhere in the netherworld. He has somehow separated himself from Jeniffer and Thursday, and stumbles upon a dragon's nest. He tries desperately to get in contact with his companions, but to no avail!]

The character template for Gordon is found HERE. The winner will be decided based upon excellent grammar and an unique take on his personality. This thread will be locked THURS DEC 13 at 12AM, and the winner will be announced later that day.

(We couldn't get a solid member to roleplay Gordon last season, so PLEASE stick with him when you win )

Good luck to you all

"Th-Thursday!" the captain shouted into his two-way radio desperately, in his fifth attempt in the past few minutes to contact his team. "Thursday, as a super robot, to not even have a working communicator? We'll have to have a performance review when I return! Although..." Gordon said, finally calming down and managing to get a grip on the situation, "Because we're separated and in this unknown area, it's possible Thursday or Jennifer could be in dangerous situations and can't respond. For the sake of my team, I'll have to be the one searching for them instead."

Having finally convinced himself and taken charge of the problem, Gordon's spirits were lifted and he had returned to a good mood. "After all, even if I'm alone, I'm still the Defender of Earth! Nothing that I find will be able to withstand my deadly Gordon Specials, a fiery punishment for evil-doers tempered with the gentle human touch expected of one shouldering my burden. The spirit of a hero!" Gordon began to shout in the darkness, "Feel my righteousness!" Thoughtlessly, Gordon thrust his fist forward only to have it meet some hard surface and damage his knuckles. "Aaagh!" he shouted, his own cry mingling with the roar of some creature. "What is..." he began, before his gaze trailed upward and locked with that of the reptilian creature whose big talon his fist had connected with. Gordon, gulped, allowing himself a moment to collect his thoughts. "I s-see my attack got your attention! I don't have any intention of fighting you, monster, but rest assured that if I did then you would fall immediately before the Defender of Earth! After all, even alone, I-" Gordon rambled, beginning to convince himself with his words, before a bellowing roar accompanied by a blast of embers and smoke caused him to stumble back from the creature. "W-well, you don't seem to have-!" the Captain began in retort, already balancing on a heel to turn and run as he suddenly noticed the gleaming eyes of more dragons in the lair.

"A... a Defender of Earth is only made powerful by trusting his comrades, and tempers his righteous judgment with cool-headed mercy!" Gordon called back at the creatures as he shamelessly ran, fanning flames that were beginning to appear at the rear of his spacesuit as he continued on the run. "Besides, my first priority is to find and rescue Jennifer and Thursday! Thuuursday!" he cried, shouting into the transmitter. "Jennifeeer! Come in, so I can save you!" he shouted pathetically, nearly stumbling and fumbling the device as he kept on with the monsters hot on his heels.
