Name: Gar Logan Door: Door Pass Canon: Titans Canon Point: 2x09 Age: unstated, approx 18 Appearance: https://www.danezon.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Titans-TV-Series-Gar-Logan-Jacket-510x680.jpg History: wiki Personality: +Loyal: Perhaps the most defining thing about Gar is his loyalty. Every choice he makes tends to be made with a group in mind. When he leaves the Doom Patrol crew it's for what he perceives as being able to do the most good for people he cares about without actually harming other people he cares about. He continues to put himself into danger to protect the Titans, especially Rachel. -Naive: Gar has been very isolated. He trusts people and wants to believe the best of them. That he doesn't have a healthy dose of cynicism has led him to being betrayed and disappointed by people. It takes a lot for him to see the flaws in people and even when he does he tends to be overly forgiving of them even if they've hurt him. -Pacifist: Gar doesn't like to fight. This is partially because he feels a lot of guilt over the scientist he mauled while he was caged in an asylum. He doesn't have complete control over the tiger transformation. He tends to be the peacemaker but this also leads to him being more passive and not always sticking to his guns about things he feels strongly about. -Secretive: Gar is very secretive about his emotions in particular. He doesn't express his feelings about people and or even about the things he's gone through. He starts to open up to Rachel but only to a very small extent about things that skew to the positive side of things. While he tends to hide his feelings and problems he can be a bit hypocritical in expecting other people to be honest and forthright with him. Powers and Abilities: Meta-human physiology, shapeshifting, skilled hand to hand combat and swordsman, adequate generalized medical knowledge Inventory: handheld video game device, orange crush soda, a small box that has a few vinyls and old noir movies Samples: TDM - prose text |

Date: 2019-11-20 09:59 pm (UTC)Pacifist: Gar's instinct is to be passive when it comes to violence or negative emotions. While finding out about Dick's lies he's the only one who stays and while telling Dick that it's messed up that seems to be the extent that he's willing to call anyone out on their behavior. He tends to take the hits from people verbally or otherwise without generally hitting back. His lack of a will to be more aggressive or even more defensive lends to people taking advantage of him.
Gar wants to make the world a better place and he's willing to fight for it to be so but he isn't always willing to fight with people that he cares about even when they're in the wrong. This hampers his ability to affect change to the best of his own ability.
Secretive: I'm not sure what else I could say for secretive. He's very closed off about his own problems and doesn't let people help him. He is always giving and trying to be there for others but expressing his own trauma seems to be a hang up for him. While he clearly hides his own problems, like the ptsd from the asylum attack he expects other people to be able to talk about their traumas readily.
Rebellious: Perhaps this is a better trait that I should have had from the beginning but Gar is extremely rebellious. From the start he's sneaking out from the Doom Patrol even though he's not supposed to. It's dangerous for them even if it's less so for him. He does it for banal things like stealing video games and the like. He also goes against all the rules by bringing Rachel with him. He rebels against Caulder when he tries to experiment on Rachel and she wants it to stop. His rebellion isn't always a bad thing but it tends to lend to him getting into trouble. He will say to those in responsible positions what they want to hear and go behind their back to do what he really thinks should be done.
When Rachel is arguing with Dick about something she wants to do, Gar sides with Dick and then subsequently privately tells Rachel that he just did that to get them off their backs so they could get away with it. Gar's tendency to go against what those in charge want him to do lands him in a lot of trouble. He did much the same with Conner when Dick had instructed him to call Bruce when Conner wakes up. Gar instead decides to hang out with Conner and try and handle it on his own. This ultimately leads to them both being captured before they can call for help.
Sample
Date: 2019-11-20 10:16 pm (UTC)Gar feels like he let Dick down. Dick had left him simple instructions. When Conner woke up, call Bruce Wayne. As much as Gar had been obsessed with the idea of meeting Batman for so long with Conner woke up he just — didn’t call Bruce. It’d been dumb and stupid. Gar knows he’d made a mistake and why? Maybe he is kind of pissed at Dick for abandoning them again — for lying to everyone and breaking up the only family Gar has. But not following Dick’s instructions hadn’t hurt Dick. It’d hurt Conner.
They’d left the tower and Conner had gotten triggered. He’d hurt some cops and the guilt is like a vice on Gar. It’s his fault. All of this is his fault and he doesn’t know how to find Conner. Dick isn’t answering his calls. And Gar is alone, again. And maybe he should record all that, all his mistakes and his failures and how he’s let everyone down.
The silence as he recorded stretched on. What could he even say? It didn’t matter and he should be trying to find Conner before anyone else got hurt. ]
Fuck it.
