Age: 20

Male

Backstory: Casey Joel Cross was an average guy in a boring world that considered EGS and all related things fictional, but where stuff like the Aperture Corporation (from the game Portal) are real. Casey is sleepwalking his way through college, and one day he volunteers to test a version of the Aperture Portal Gun. After being sent through deathly puzzles, something weird happens and he exits a portal on the ruined world CR-428, after which, the gun breaks (roughly 3 or 4 weeks before the action happens in the RP so far). He is forced to scavenge for food, supplies and weapons in the ruined city, in hopes to fix the portal gun and return to his world. He is found by Susan, Diane, etc when they're chasing team CR-257, and they rescue him. He tells his story and they elect to bring him back to their dimension (keeping him in a holding cell for a while until they can decide whether or not he's a spy for the Lords Tedd). Eventually they let him out and he joins a team.

Appearance: Before his Portal hop, he was edging towards husky, but a month in the apocalyptic ruins have made Casey much leaner. The only clothes Casey brought with him were a gray t-shirt, a pair of cargo pants, an already thoroughly broken-in trench coat, and a fedora from Marshall's. His month on CR-428 have made these clothes even more tattered than they were before, but Casey has been able to scavenge articles of armor from dead troops. Unfortunately for him, the only weapon he has found is an aluminum baseball bat; all the world's weapons are powered from a central power station that was destroyed, so all particle guns he comes across are dead.

Gear: 1 broken Portal gun; 1 aluminum baseball bat; 1 suit of cobbled together damaged armor.

Skills: his time on in the ruins have made him an effective scavenger; he is conversational in the German language; his minor mechanical skills have developed slightly while trying to fix the Portal gun as well as the broken particle weapons he finds on soldiers; he has limited knowledge of the martial arts of Judo and Karate from college classes from before his accident.

He is currently working on improving his artistic style by sketching the characters from EGS. He has posted them to his DeviantArt account, a link to which will follow at the bottom of the screen.

Also, broken_hero is currently working on two versions of a novelization of the comic. The first version is a straight adaptation of the comic to novel form. The second is his pet project. The premise is, what if a student absence caused an original character to be Elliot and Tedd's lab partner on the day the Goo came to life. C.J. Cross (yes, he knows that this character and the above RP character are the same, he's trying to find a new name for one of them) drifts in and out of the Main 8's tale, mattering more in some arcs than others. broken_hero chooses to call this story "EGS-Delta", and will continue to do so until he is forced to change it (he'll just pick a new Greek letter).
