Kicking this post off to say I'm super excited about our first sim! And as a mod have had the luxury to think about what I want to do with Rhys for a little while now:
Though he was formally a proficient engineer and coder at a lucrative tech company, Rhys will be a severely in debt gambling addict who's gone so far as to sell his right arm and left eye in an attempt to pay off his debts.
At this point, Rhys has gotten into owing a lot of shady people (re: body parts were acceptable payment) is out of a job and has exhausted pretty much all his options. The final push for him to go on what is basically a suicide mission is his best friend (and regular accomplice) Vaughn, getting killed as a warning shot.
The guilt and a need for an escape, even if it means death, will be his driving force for coming onto this mission as a tech assistant. Whatever this is, he thinks, it's a better fate than being slowly dismembered by the mafia as they harvest his organs or something. If things do go well, the job is paying enough to get him out of debt and thensome, so it's a gable he's willing to take.
POSSIBLE ARCS: -Rhys confronts the guilt of his own hasty gambles costing the life of his best friend, helps others in the shimmer instead of only looking out for his own best interests, trust and friendship??? (good end)
-Rhys doesn't manage to confront his past and his responsibility regarding himself and those effected by his actions, double crosses and screws over others lost in the shimmer in an attempt to survive, dies. (bad end)
