Topic on Talk:Edric Tosser

The following story beats are proposed for describing the Feedback transfer of Edric Tosser to the Jazz Hands, with refinement & exact details (such as Tosser's instrument of choice) to be settled while collaborating with the Firefighters:

• Tosser comes out of an Agan Harrison-induced brain fuzz wearing a Jazz Hands uniform on the bus back to Breckenridge, with no real idea of what happened.
• After arriving at Breckenridge, the team realizes they need an instrument - a process that Harrison used to oversee.
• The team talks with the Slide-Trombone Bolter to figure out what to do, and for the first time Tosser understands what's being communicated in the din of doots & other instrument cacophony.
• They decide to, as a team, enter Bolter's collection to support Tosser as he chooses an instrument.
• Someone gets bored and starts jamming, supported by some well-timed doots from Bolter.
• Eventually the whole team starts jamming, with a couple members dropping out of the pocket whenever Tosser finds an instrument he wants to try. Those members help Tosser figure out how to play it, whether because they know how to play it or by supporting experimentation w/ unknown instruments.
• Tosser settles on an instrument, and the whole team decides that was a great experience & should be repeated for future newcomers.

The proposed story beats were brought back to the Firefighters lore server and discussed. Largely, there was a feeling that simply saying Edric woke up in Breckenridge and accepted it stripped him of an agency of character we've been trying to build. To that end we've suggested some counterpoints, which could be woven in with Agan Harrison's transfer narrative (posted to ███ talk page here). Feel free to take or leave elements of characterization, but this is what we Firefighters feel is most appropriate, building off what you guys gave us!

The counterpoints and various other discussions we had are available here [Google Doc link].

One additional thing: We'd love a thumbs up to change Edric's profile image to one more reflective of the ethnicity we associate with him (image link--let me know if it doesn't work)!
