#;; share some empathy by the lakeside (travis)

[jabbers-wild-world]

;; Someone please talk to me about my Camp Camp ocs. I have a mighty need to talk about them today.

And they are as follows:

Justin Fields, former army soldier with a prosthetic leg and who’s just tired of everyone’s shit. Especially his buddy Travis. Someone give this man a break, he has enough to deal with.

Travis Lake, former combat medic who served at the same time as Justin, both discharged at the same time for different injuries. He is often getting into shenanigans.

Zack Rhodes, Australian ex-convict serving out community service at Camp Campbell (because yes, even Australia had had enough of this son of a bitch), and he brought his pet goanna named Emmett with him. He gives zero fucks, but is actually great with the kids.

Isaac Vivre, a former circus clown from England and a genuine sweetheart. He loves to be everyone’s personal cheerleader, but he also has a problem with getting himself stuck places, usually upside down.

and last, but certainly not least

Jay Walker, 5’1” trans-male who is basically just two ounces of whoop-ass. He doesn’t care if you’re bigger than him, he’ll fight you anyway. And he’ll fight for you too. No one knows exactly where he came from though, he just sort of appeared one day.

Camp Campbell Camp Counselor Look-Alikes

Justin = Jason

Jason is more clean cut in his choice of clothing, but in most other regards, he is like Justin’s blond twin. Even his personality is similar. Laidback, confident bastard. But despite all the physical and personal similarities, with the exception of complexion and hair color, there’s something else that Jason is hiding. Something very dangerous and unsettling.

He’s a former mercenary, and now he makes his living through human trafficking. He delights in the manipulation and tricking those unsuspecting into trusting him, before he drugs them and carts them off to never be seen again.

Travis = Trevor

Another case in which he looks much like a blond doppelganger of Travis, Trevor is a bit more.. unsettling in some ways. Where Travis’s memory fails him, Trevor has a very keen memory. He was a medic, but he had his medical license revoked for human experimentation and augmentation.

He works closely alongside Jason, and his laboratory is in fact the usual destination for Jason’s victims. As the two work together, the more dangerous the situation becomes for anyone around them, especially since they mainly target kids nowadays.

Zack = Xavier

Xavier looks, of course, almost exactly like Zack, except for some paler coloring and blond hair instead of black. And while Zack loves animals of all kinds, and has actually been known to fight to protect them from inhumane treatment or death.. 

Xavier is a notorious poacher and purveyor of exotic animals as expensive and illegal pets. He is available for hire, to travel to other countries and either kill endangered animals for goods and profit, or to capture rare species and sell to the client to keep. But now he’s looking for new prey to profit from.. Children.

Isaac = Isaiah

Another blond counterpart, Isaiah is just as British as Isaac, and comes across just as friendly and enthusiastic. But underneath it all, he’s cunning and manipulative, and even while under the guise of a former circus performer, like Isaac is, Isaiah is a back alley serial killer. He’s notorious across all the United Kingdom, and he fled to the United States to cover his tracks.

He is very violent and dangerous, and he of course leaves a signature among every kill he makes. He has a recognizable style of killing, preferring to slit the throats of his victims, before opening up their stomachs and leaving his ‘calling card’ inside. The tarot card ‘the Hanged Man’. As such is the case, his alias to all the police across the UK, is the Hanged Man or Judas, and when he is done with his victims, he does indeed tie them up and hang them, preferring to do so with a rope around their legs to suspend them upside down, similar to most art found on ‘the Hanged Man’ tarot cards. No officer has managed to catch him, though they have come close. As well, none have seen his face, since he tends to wear a frowning theatrical mask.

His victims are always children.

Note: Jay is unique and does not have a doppelganger. If he did, it would break the world, since Jay is a shadow creature disguised as human, and therefore is already a dangerously powerful being.

;; Please interact with these idiots.

[jabbers-wild-world]

;; I love my Camp Camp counselor OCs. Just these five dumb fuckin’ bastards. Not a single one of them is equipped with the proper coping mechanisms for their own bullshit, much less handling a bunch of children probably capable of destroying the world, but here they are anyway!

I love these fuckin’ morons with all my heart.

@a-little-oopsie-daisy | continued from here!

“I know about Cam. Jay won’t stop hissing at him, or.. whatever that noise is he keeps making. But I’m not looking for that cheap ass.” He shook his head, sighing. “There’s another bear-man in the woods, I swear there is.”

@campydays

“Yo, Dave. Hold this a sec, would you?” The bundle abruptly deposited into David’s hands was very wet, and very slimy. Where Travis had gotten it, or what it even was.. Well, that was a mystery.

[jabbers-wild-world]

;; Like this post for a starter from a Camp Camp muse! OCs may appear in some of these! Length may vary!

[jabbers-wild-world]

“-So then I was like, ‘you can’t be serious, bro!’ And he was all like, ‘more serious than cancer, man!’ And I-”

“Travis. Shut up. I got a headache.”

“Did you wanna be alone?”

“If I say yes, will you leave?”

[jabbers-wild-world]

do the campers know about Travis's scars?

;; Some do, but most probably don’t. It’s really only during any sort of water sports activities that they’d really be seen, and even then, he still occasionally will wear a shirt during that if he’s feeling particularly conscious of them that day. So.. Ered probably knows, and maybe a couple others like Nurf and actually Nerris would know, but most campers wouldn’t know, and really, even as far as counselors go, only Justin and David really know.

[jabbers-wild-world]

;; Travis is also a compulsive nicknamer. Long names get shortened, and short names get replaced with other identifiers. Basically, if your name is two syllables or more, he will call you something else. Mostly, this is just because it’s easier for him to remember who you are that way. The exception is people he knew before his head injury.

Examples:

David = Dave

Daniel = Dan

Gwen = Queen

Max = Bud

Nikki = Nik, or Pup

And then people he knew before, like Justin, he’ll still call by their full name. It’s just his way of identifying who’s who for his mental records of social interaction.

[jabbers-wild-world]

;; By no means is Travis Lake a real genius, and a lot of what he does is honestly pretty weird from an outside perspective. But, get to know him, and you’ll realize that he is actually much smarter than he lets on, and his weird behaviors are really just part of a prior head injury that creates an unfortunate barrier between his thought process and communicating said thoughts.

He was a military-trained medic before working as a counselor, and he’s still absolutely amazing as far as medical expertise goes. But during active service, he suffered a traumatic head injury, and now, even though he does actually have very articulate and well thought out ideas and plans, he literally can’t remember to communicate those thoughts to other people. He’s exceedingly impulsive, and doesn’t explain anything very well.

;; Someone please love my Camp Camp counselor OCs, I have a ton of muse for them right now. Especially Isaac, my precious clumsy circus clown Brit boy.
