I owe people so many memes, but . . .

It goes LIKE SO. You comment here and ASK A QUESTION it can be anything CFUD related, OOC, IC, Relationship, psychology, thoughts, whatever. I.E. My character's opinion of your character or maybe what you have been wondering about this behavior or that, or general thoughts on my characters or canons or what, who I might consider raping you into apping, etc.

WHEN I REPLY I will also ask you a question in turn!

In this way we talk at each other, which is fun.

I play: Watari, Yozak, Okita, and Ianto.

Name: Ianto Jones
Age: 26
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Dark brown
Height: 6'
Weight: About average

Medical Info: Completely normal human!

What's Okay To Mention Around Him: Pretty much anything. Telling him that he's fictional might not get the best reaction and he will be highly suspicious if you know stuff about Torchwood or his own background that you shouldn't.

Abilities: He's extremely knowledgeable about anything having to do with Torchwood, very observant, and learns quickly. Good at cleaning up after things and anticipating people's needs. Can do math very quickly in his head. Probably an average shot with a gun. Makes a mean cup of coffee.

Notes for the Psychics: He's likely to have received a little bit of training about defending against psychics, but...I should link the pamphlet. Thoughts will generally center around Jack, the team, Torchwood's mission, etc. Digging deeper will probably bring up emo about Lisa/Torchwood One and might unlock memories of Adam (and memories created by Adam). If you're digging into his head, please let me know!

Can I shapeshift/boyswitch/spit at/step on/etc?: Sure, but ask me first.

Maim/Murder/Death: Probably no, Ianto is not for killing. Again, ask if something comes up.

Hugging/Kissing/Other Non-violent contact: Go for it! But be warned, Jack might ask to join in.

Cooking: Beyond normal tea boy duties, he's mastered the art of calling out for pizza? No evidence for it, but I'm going to say he's fairly compitent in the kitchen.

Character: Ianto Jones
Series: Torchwood
Age: 26
Job: Head Tea Boy for the CFUD Tourist Office

Canon: The Torchwood Institute exists beyond government and police control. Their mission, given to them directly by Queen Victoria (who was not amused by extraterrestrial antics at all), is to defend Great Britain and the Earth from alien threats. The series itself focuses on Torchwood Three, who work out of Cardiff, Wales. Lead by the fabulous Captain Jack Harkness, the team is primarily responsible for watching the space/time rift that runs through the city. When the rift isn’t giving them problems, the team spends the rest of their time capturing the aliens among us, having a little too much fun with alien technology, and making out in their underground lair. Have an alien invasion happening downtown? That’s just another day at Torchwood for you.

Ianto Jones acts as the all-around support staff for Torchwood Three. His job duties can be filed under receptionist, archivist, building maintenance, butler...anything you need, Ianto will take care of for you. Transferred after the destruction of Torchwood One, Ianto cleans up after Torchwood and always seems to know more than he should. He’s loyal to a fault and has a very dry, sarcastic sense of humor, which he’s not afraid to let lose. Ianto’s even become as badass as the rest of the team in the field, being perfectly willing to tazer a man in the face if it proves necessary. Despite that, Ianto is still quite reserved, but starting to open up to his co-workers, especially Captain Jack. Ianto is so much more than he seems at first, managing to look good in his suits and make a mean cup of coffee, while quietly helping to hold Torchwood together.

Note: Much like an 11 year-old girl, Ianto keeps a diary of important events.

Sample Post:

I've always found it useful to keep a personal record of events, even of those events that are much too memorable. Since camp was thoughtful enough to provide me with a "Pretty Pink Princess Diary," I'll be continuing here. For a place that begged for Torchwood's assistance, I haven't seen much of an alien problem. A monster problem, yes, but that doesn't seem to be the fault of outside interference. Thankfully, the tinfoil hat presented to me by the local wildlife appears to be an unnecessary precaution, but oh so very stylish. So far, my preliminary investigation has shown no signs of aliens "crawling in campers' skins" or copious amounts of towels. A necessity for interstellar travel, I've been told. I've gone far beyond believing this is a hoax and into the territory of kidnapping and imprisonment.

Maybe I should add forced labor to that list, too. After cleaning out the trash (a thick coating of dust, overly friendly plant life, broken furniture, three zombies, etc.), the tourist office doesn't look too bad. Although, I'm at a loss over who would want to take a nature walk though The Forest of Raping Vines or go for a dip in The Beautifully Radioactive Lake. The brochure for Zombies Gone Wild seems a bit extreme. Shouting "take off your shirt" is one thing, but "take off your breasts" is something I could have gone my entire life without picturing. They must get all kinds here. Including those who seem to expect a good cup of tea when they come to visit the travel office. I though they were all about their coffee, on this side of the world?

I wasn't aware that Tea Boy was even a position in America, much less one that demands someone to head it up. My gorilla assistants themselves seem confused, mistaking "tea" for "toy" quite often. Words were had, but I think I've managed to talk them around to my point of view. It's almost magical how the words "sexual harassment" and "lawsuit" can make someone change their tune and remove their hands. Despite being a monster-infested summer camp, this place does seem to have strict anti-harassment laws. I am left wondering about the punishments, though, none of which seem very enforceable or even practical. Personally, I’m a fan of the forced crossdressing one, but not for the gorillas. They seem to like it too much.

Speaking of my assistants, some slight behavior modification therapy did work wonders for Bobo the Purple Gorilla. Bobo did not understand that no means no and that harassing your co-worker without their permission does not create a positive work environment, but that’s all sorted now. I’m happy to say that productivity is up 69% (is this irony?).

In a completely unrelated note, I need to requisition more air fresheners. The smell of burnt fur is proving difficult to remove.
