RP Relation:
Captain Furhmen is the head of the communications division on Echo Base. He overlooks all forms of communications that enter and leave Echo Base, except those of private origin and those going to the other higher ranking officers such as Clarissa Grant, Mack Steele, or Leon Petrelli. He is a young man for his current position, and is much of a joker. Despite this, he is very reliable when it comes to his job and adores it. When he is not working, he is often found taking any chance he can to speak his wife through video communication in his office or his Bunk.
Character- Joshua Fuhrmen
Why you like this character- The idea of playing a male character appeals to me, and while this character does not have an active combat role, I feel he would be vital to the story, to make sure that communications are passed over and acted on. I am a huge fan of the FC’s work and I feel I could add to his character by way of fleshing him out to the full.
Audition Post
-In amongst the rows of office buildings that stretch out for miles, is the command centre of communication networks, that is the hub of all telecommunication on Echo base. Within the maze of offices, is the Head Communications Officer, Captain Joshua Furhmen. Otherwise known as Josh or “Radar” to his closest friends, he rarely leaves his office station, unless he is going back to his bunk to sleep and or talk to his wife; Camilla.
Leaning back in his recliner black leather office chair, he is constantly clicking his pen tip with is fingers curled around the length. Every so often he taps it to his chin, while he watches the massive array of screens that are before him. Eyes on the prize, they dart from screen to screen, the details of all incoming and outgoing emails, and communications from the smallest bunk to the largest office do not fail to pass beneath his steely gaze.
A knock at his office door goes unanswered, as Josh is tapping the keys fast on his keyboard, and then encrypting a new code to catch a keylogger, that is trying to break into the main computer system. The knocking continues, while the creases on Joshua’s forehead grows, and then his eyes light up, as he slams the enter key, and shuts down the hacker in one swift stroke.
“Got you, Mother fucker.”
~Knock…KNOCK KNOCK~
“Yo, yeah…I mean, enter.”
The door opens, as a fresh face cadet has turned the handle. Only about eighteen years old, and wearing a stiff uniform, clearly his mother ironed for him, he speaks with a squeaky high voice.
“Meeting at 06:00, Captain.”
“Hmmm..”
The Captain swivels his chair around as the young cadet hands him a sealed envelope. Reaching out to take it, he is about to rip the top off it, while the young cadet stands there, staring at the array of screens, all of which are running data and classified information. Joshua stops mid rip and then taps a spot on the floor and all the screens switch to the Echo base screen saver.
“That will be all, Cadet.” He says with a wry grin, as the young man nervously salutes, and then quickly leaves the office, closing the door behind him. Taking out the yellow coloured document, he spins back around and taps the floor again, to have all his screens come back up. A few quick taps of the keys, and the image of his wife appears, and she is smiling at him, as he winks at her.
“Hey Beautiful..” Joshua almost whispers, looking up at her face adoringly. “I miss you, baby…so much.
