Revision as of 01:11, 26 October 2017
Fourteen Fifteen is a body-swapping assassin and bounty hunter played by Jack de Quidt.
Description
Their name is not numbers, just words. It isn't a call sign or tag, or marker. It is the name their parents gave them. They were born on the Sky Reflected in Mirrors.
They are a body swapping bounty hunter who is transported to a location via data packets, and able to track targets functionally anywhere disguised as functionally anyone. They do not have a body, they are a human. They were born, they lived a life. They joined the agency and now they are data and do not have their previous body.
They are transported to a location and become that thing/person.
With each jump and body swap the data gets more and more corrupted, degraded, or in some cases is completely lost; and eventually, they will die because of it. However, until that disease claims them they also cannot die. They can be hurt, they can lose time; but they cannot technically die.
They think they have forgotten a past friendship with Tender Sky. They do not realize that in truth, they were sent to kill Tender and forgot that information due to their unique affliction.
Personality
They are a fiend for hot chocolate, and often wear sunglasses, having grown up in a relatively dark part of the Sky Reflected in Mirrors.
Their current body seems to guide their personality. As the gunslinger, they are somewhat awkward and standoffish. As Worthy of Grace, they are more charismatic, even flirtatious.
Beliefs
- "I don't know why, but Tender is important; always keep her in my sights."
- "Always shine a light into shadowed corners."
- "I am not afraid of death, but others are. I will never manipulate someone with a deadly but empty threat."[note 1]
Appearance
Fourteen's first body the audience sees is a gunslinger. They appear masculine and in their late forties or mid-fifties, with stubble, thinning hair, a white shirt and a bandolier. They have a kinetic handgun (akin to Deckard's gun from Blade Runner, but with a stock made of glass instead of wood, with laser-cut designs of birds and flowers) and very much present as a wild west gunslinger.
During the Beloved Dust's time in the Steady during "We Want You to Come Home", Fourteen wears a crisp white shirt with a fancy collar and dark trousers, the way they think a bounty hunter should look in a bar. They are wearing sunglasses but have pushed them up onto their head to get a better look at a gambling game. They have a jeweled ring on one hand, and are wearing a holster with no gun, having decided "a cowboy should leave it out".
Fourteen's second body is the virtual singer Worthy of Grace. Unlike most of the bodies Fourteen inhabits, Worthy of Grace was not just a body with a cover story provided by Castlerose. Worthy was intended to simply have an opera singer cover story, but something went wrong. Worthy was a genuine virtual kei idol who performed with a mix of opera, high fashion and pop music, and upon awakening Fourteen finds themself this virtual singer, miraculously transferred into a 'real body'.[1]
A certain image of Rosario Dawson with turquoise earrings and a messy bob is apparently a good reference for their appearance. There are patterns rippling over their dress: it's one part the projection mapping on Jennifer Lopez's dress on American Idol, one part the sort of projection mapping done on buildings, and one part Liu Bolin's performance art and photography series, "Hiding in the City". Their dress is constantly reflecting the scene they're in, flickering, or playing advertisements for their performances.[2]
History
There was a previous job involving the other players in which they opened a bulk-head door, which then flooded. They died and then introduced themselves to the crew the next day as the gunslinger.
They divulged that they were dying only to an employee of the bounty hunter agency, sometimes referred to as "The Cleaners", Miss Castlerose, who is also their handler.
⸢Signet⸣ knows something about Fourteen-Fifteen's illness that they are not aware of.
