20 Years Reunion Brainstorming

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

A suggestion was made in the original info post to provide a brainstorming post for everyone to rattle off ideas, plan futures, coordinate relationships and whatever else might be needed for the plot!

And thus, the brainstorming post has been birthed and lo, we present it to you for all the storming of the brains you might need to do! Have fun planning!

Name: Agent Canary

Age at the reunion: 36.

Backstory I've worked out so far: After Brock ran out of excuses, Hank was finally allowed to join the OSI. Although he wasn't as handy in combat as the other recruits, and didn't possess any actual identifiable skills, per se, he proved to be far and away the best at not dying (as well as incredibly genre savvy (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GenreSavvy)) which lead to him getting the top score of anyone in his training squad.

After spending the requisite time as a nameless number and uniform in the background, he's gotten his own codename and is allowed to go on the big-kid missions. His codename has nothing to do with Dinah -- it's partly from his blond hair and partly from being the proverbial canary in a coal mine. Agent Canary has an uncanny ability to stumble into and spring death traps and escape unharmed, thereby making the way safe for the rest of his team.

How he could fit into your character's backstory: Hank will have been writing the occasional letter -- both email and hand-written -- to anyone and everyone from Fandom that he can get an address for. Most of them will be along the general lines of:

Dear (insert name here),
How are you doing? I am fine! Life is awesome, but I miss Fandom. It's nice talking to you!

Your friend,
Hank
