Character:Gadg8eer

Oliver Kind, Junior was an unpublished writer who was hit by a truck in 2017 CE at the age of 27 under a somewhat suspicious set of circumstances; Investigators noticed that he did not leave a suicide note despite it being his birthday, that the truck driver had a previous vehicular manslaughter charge, and that Oliver seemed to be continuously running from someone or somewhere. The driver had a dashcam that exonerated him, and the case was treated as unsolved, but the investigation quickly went cold as lawyers were unable to discover Oliver's motive with the evidence available.

Post-Resurrection
Oliver's current avatar, as of 12017 GHE, is the result of a psychoneurography performed on him shortly after his resurrection. He considered himself to be 10 years old in spite of his physical age, and has taken on the role of an orphaned child in living alone in the New Real. One might assume he has no flaws, until you realize he's 50 inches tall because he's shortsighted and short-tempered, or that being impatient is one of his most childlike traits. Despite this, he is generally a good person, even managing to get on the Nice List of the Saint Nicholas Foundation in 12017 GHE and receiving a pair of VisPlayer smartgoggles.

Gadg8eer didn't make any notable accomplishments in the Old Real, and due to a somewhat irrational fear of becoming a celebrity he has not yet made any noteworthy accomplishments in the New Real, either. In spite of this, he was able to obtain a limited-print Superhuman Ability Module, the Virtue known as Imageteer.

Avatar
Gadg8eer had unintentionally made great effort toward shaping his psyche in the Old Real, mostly through focusing his thoughts before sleeping to influence his form in his dreams, resulting in a psychoneurograph that draws a lot of inspiration from the Old Real animated TV series Codename: Kids Next Door. One notable feature is that his avatar only has three fingers and a thumb on each hand, similar to most cartoon characters, and he refers to his two inner digits as his "poindex" and "riddle" fingers.

He wears a generic red hoodie seen on the backs of a few too many OCs, a pair of blue cargo jeans with two too many zippers, and a toolbelt with two pouches that he uses as a second set of pockets. Gadg8eer's backpack is a custom-made product produced by Uniqus, which he named the RumblePack. His shoes are also made by Uniqus, which he has dubbed Scrollers, with skate wheels that hover below the tread when in use but retract into cleats to allow comfortable walking. His newsboy cap is made of leather, and is part of the head of his avatar to prevent it from falling off.

Gadg8eer's RumblePack contains a pair of Energy Pulse Gatlings made by Uniqus, which can aim over his shoulders, and which he refers to as RATLING guns. He also has a pair of magic rings on his riddle fingers that allow him to summon yoyos with holographic strings as a makeshift ranged weapon.

His VisPlayer is a pair of eXtended Reality (XR) goggles, a custom Gizmo gifted to him by the Saint Nicholas Foundation to celebrate his first Giftsgiving in the New Real. The VisPlayer allows him to access the built-in Augmented Reality feature of the New Real but like all Superhuman Ability Modules, all data storage, control functions and processing takes place in his unconscious rather than with electronics.

Fanonity
If the canon of the New Real setting is Wikipedia, the fanon is the entirety of the internet, so...

Gadg8eer is, for better or worse, the author avatar of Cody Gibling, and a critical part of the canon. That being said, Cody has promised to try his best not to fall into ego traps, like assuming the New Real as written is somehow an accurate description of the future, or using hero-centric morality in his writing.

If the author is allowed to make a self-insert, the fans are definitely allowed to make fan characters, so feel free to make a self-insert and roleplay as them or otherwise contribute to the fanon of the New Real. It doesn't have to hold itself to the same standards as a published author, but please keep in mind that self-inserts who go overboard on wish fulfilment (big house, fancy car, everyone either likes them or is evil, etc.) will probably be judged as unfit for being part of the official fanon.
