Jan. 4th, 2013 01:13 pm4th wall breaking: Sure, but Sully can be a little skeptical at times, so you'll need some hard evidence/or alcohol. If you were to talk to him about the Uncharted game series and refer to him as a video game character, he wouldn't believe you.
Threadjacking: Yes
Mind reading: Okay!
Location sensing: Sully's only human. He likes to stay on the down low but he's more than detectable.
Telepathy: Yes
Special/ magical items: Just give a heads up if he's going to be directly affected.
Fighting capabilities: Good with a hand gun, skilled in hand to hand combat with Marine training. Stealthy, and cunning at times, but far from a one-man army.
Injury/ Death: Injuries are fine, please discuss any attempts at murder first.
Win/ lose/ tie: Sully's taken out quite a few people in his years, and some supernatural beings, but he's not quite in his prime anymore (thought he'd argue otherwise) so by himself, he may not pose much of a threat against a group.
Medical/ physical info: He's just a normal man.
Romance/ relationships: Sully's a dirty old man, he's ever the gentleman but has had his fair share of the fairer sex share his bed. He's got a big heart if you can get to it, but he's all for a little romance.
Sexual relations: Yes please. Sully's got a large sexual appetite, he's a bit of a womanizer.
Physical contact: More than OK. Victor Sullivan loves getting close to lovely lady, the more contact the better.
Any triggers/ secrets/ facts you want people to know about: He's always up for a cigar or a drink.

Character NAME: Victor "Sully" Sullivan
Canon & MEDIUM: Uncharted Franchise; Drake's Fortune, Among Thieves, Drake's Deception, Golden Abyss, DC Comic, The Fourth Labyrinth, Eye of Indra (Trans-media, primarily Video Games)
Canon PULL-POINT: The end of Uncharted 2, in Tenzin's mountain village, when Sully leaves Nathan Drake and Elena Fisher to go chase after Chloe Frazer.
Character AGE: 58
Character ABILITIES: Capable of handling a large variety of firearms, military training in hand to hand combat. Active and limber for his age, capable of climbing buildings and performing mild free running maneuvers. Proficient con artist, and skilled gambler. Licensed pilot, and casual boater.
Character HISTORY: Extensive background can be found here
Character PERSONALITY: Victor Sullivan is a con artist, and a self-titled "Antiquities Acquisition Consultant", if a client needs a particular item and is willing to pay the price, Sully can have it in their hands before the day is done. He is generally a laid back and approachable man, one with a taste for fine cigars. He's really at his best when he's sitting in the cockpit of a plane. Flying can be a bit of an escape for him, as it's only when he's left all his cares on the ground that he's able to think, relax, or clear his head. When he's not in the air he also enjoys being at sea, spending time on his private yacht, "Sullivan's Travels". He's warm and friendly to most, but if one so happens to cross him, he can be abrasive and hot headed. He's not one to throw the first punch, but he will always have a few choice words to deliver with venom towards those who get on his bad side (usually involving a few well placed "goddamn"s).
Victor is the kind of man who likes to get his hands dirty, letting other more qualified people do the thinking and planning while he takes action. He's not learned in history, dead languages, or ancient cultures, for he is more street smart than book smart. He's more interested in the monetary value of ancient treasures than their historical importance. He has a dry and sarcastic sense of humor, and a knack for making everything he says sound dirty (whether intentional or not). He is also impatient, he likes immediate results with tangible goals, and hates wild goose chases. He has a tendency to get himself into trouble in his attempts to make a living, involving himself with some shady and hostile people, and becoming indebted to dangerous groups.
Sully is quite the lady's man, and while he can be a major flirt at times, is very respectful of women, chivalrous even. He's engaged in some rather questionable intimate activities with some of his lady friends, and is always ready to share a crazy story or two about some of his exploits. Some say that Victor Sullivan is selfish and untrustworthy, but those that are close to him know that he is selfless and rarely undeserving of their trust. Though he can be morally ambiguous, he is extremely loyal to his friends, and others he keeps close. He tends to take on a fatherly or big brother role with his close friends, sometimes mentoring them and offering advice based on his own experiences in life. He's a man full of good intentions who has walked a long trail of bad choices.
Probably the most important part of his life is Nathan Drake. When Sully was 40, and working for Katherine Marlowe (a client, and romantic interest) in Cartagena, Columbia, he bumped into a 14 year old Nathan Drake. Nathan Drake was pretty much an orphan, he believed himself to be a descendant of the explorer Sir Francis Drake, and was attempting to steal an artifact from a museum exhibit dedicated to the same explorer. By chance, or more likely fate, Sully and Marlowe were after the same object. Marlowe was willing to use deadly force to get Drake, a mere child, out of the picture and out from between her and the artifact, and at this juncture Sully decided he no longer wanted to involve himself with Katherine, Sully could play dirty, but not this dirty. He helped Nathan escape, and after finding out Nate's story, seeing how smart the kid was, how devoted he was to finding about more about his supposed ancestor, Sully realized this kid needed help. He wasn't going to get anywhere on the streets. In a way, Sully saw a bit of himself in Nathan Drake. Nate was street savvy, cunning, crafty, and determined. Victor took him under his wing, not really as a guardian or adopted parent, but as a friend, confidante, a partner.
20 years have passed since then, Nathan Drake is older, more experienced, having grown under Sully's mentoring. Not only is he Sully's closest friend, but Victor also loves him like a son. Sully didn't have a very good relationship with his father, and as Sully grows older her feels more and more responsible for Nate, and grows deeper and deeper into the surrogate father role for the guy. He tries to steer Nate away from making the same mistakes he did in his youth, he wants what's best for Nate, wants him to be safe and happy, not struggling to make a living like he always has. In almost any situation Sully has Nate's back, putting himself in danger, pushing himself to his limits both physically and emotionally for the kid.
Victor is also very close to Elena Fisher, Nathan's love interest/fiance, and treats her almost like a daughter. He encourages their romance, hoping it could lead to a brighter, stable future for both Nate and Elena. Sully knows he's getting old, that he may not be around much longer, so he wants to be sure Nate will be alright without him when he's gone. Being as stubborn and strong willed as he is though, it's likely Sully will be around for many years to come.

First PERSON:
[As the video starts recording, an older gentleman inspects the device, unsure if it's actually recording. After a few seconds, he shrugs his shoulders and decides to leave it be and sits in an uncomfortable looking aluminum chair in front of it. Victor Sullivan, an older mustachioed gentleman, sporting a worn Havana shirt and holding a lit cigar in his right hand. Looking exhausted and in need of sleep, he leans back in the chair casually and looks directly into the camera.]
Goddamn, I must have one helluva hangover. I feel like I've been stuffed in a barrel...
[He taps the ashes of his cigar on an off screen ash tray, and takes a drag from the cigar. He returns his attention to the camera as he exhales slowly.]
Look I don't know what I'm doing here, one minute I'm in this peaceful little village, chatting up a friend. Then suddenly I'm waking up in this room... cigar in one hand, this little electronic doohickey in the other. Nate, I don't know if this can even reach you, but I hope you're alright. Assuming you are, get over here! Quick! I need you to come pick my ass up, pretty sure you owe me one after I used all our money to bail YOU out. Christ I feel like I'm on lock down!
[He puts the cigar down and leans forward in the chair, moving in closer to the camera. He sighs and smoothes his mustache anxiously]
Seriously though, if anyone get's this message, anyone at all.... someone please fill me in. I could really use a familia- hell even just a friendly face right now.
[He laughs nervously, his weak smile quickly fading in defeat. He stands up out of his chair and picks up the camera.]
Yeah... well it was worth a shot anyway. ... I need a drink...
[The video abruptly stops]
Third PERSON:
The way she brushed him off may have seemed cold, but Sully knew it was just her way, her attempt to keep her head on straight for the time being, and it actually gave Sullivan some relief. As long as she was still thinking logically, they’d be fine. He caught his breath, and waited a bit for his head to stop swimming. The pulsing of the blood in his head subsided, and he was able to stand. He turned away from Chloe and lifted his shirt just a bit, to check the dressing on his wound. It was becoming undone, his side half exposed and bleeding a bit. Goddammit, this better not be infected. He straightened out the bandage and reapplied the adhesive strips to cover the wound. It stung a bit, but it seemed to be stopping the blood flow quite well, so for that he was happy.

It stung a bit, but it seemed to be stopping the blood flow quite well, so for that he was happy.
He turned back to Chloe, who was looking stern and anxious. He grabbed her hand and brought it to his lips, kissing it lightly. “Well, hon, I know you’re ready to move, let’s get going.” He eyed the walls, looking at the doors, wondering what was behind each of them… could be anything in this maze of a mansion. He noticed a door by the bookcase, tall and skinny, as opposed to the large doors that seemed to separate the rest of the rooms. He approached it, and noticed the knob was very different from most of the other doors in the house.
It was simple at first glance, but when he tried to turn the knob, he realized it was locked… Only… there was no keyhole. It finally clicked though, it was an old style door knob that only turned while being pulled at the same time as applying pressure to a hidden panel on the door frame. It was a sort of child lock used in some of the fancier homes he’d seen in places like Germany and Italy. He searched the frame of the door, mainly higher where children were less likely to reach, and finally found a panel with some give. He was about to open the door when he thought about what had happened so far throughout this hellish home.
“Chloe, whatever’s behind this door is something you wouldn’t want a child touching, could be something priceless, or dangerous… I’m gonna open it, just… be ready with your gun. Just incase.”
He grabbed the knob and pulled, pressed the door frame, and turned the knob slowly. A sudden click, and the latch released, the door opening inward. Sully’s pulse quickened as he immediately scanned the room as it was revealed. “SHIT!” He yelled, and went to back away from the door, to give Chloe a clear shot, when he realized that the stuffed jaguar on display against the wall of the room had already been shot.
They’d found the owner’s hunting gallery.
