In the event of us nearing our application cap and having more applications than slots, we will attempt to choose the most well-written applications. First-time applicants will be processed first, then applications for second characters, and finally applications for third characters. We may allow more applications to be submitted than we have slots for in the name of greater selection.

Personality:
Even before his injury, Fitz was always a bit socially awkward. He's a scientist; science is his passion and his life and really only people that are involved in that life are the ones he can talk to easily and function around. Everyone else? He tends to make a fool out of himself at times, at least until he gets to know them better. He's always had trouble making conversation flow that doesn't involve him rambling about his latest project or experiment and sometimes he can forget that there are even other people around when he really gets caught up in an idea. It takes certain individuals to really understand him but, as of late, he's a lot more cautious of letting people in. Even those that he trusted before are looked at with a bit of wariness, Fitz well aware that most of them now see him as damaged goods even with the progress that he's made.
Despite his awkward nature, Fitz has a pretty bad temper. He can get riled up easily and when something goes against what he believes or knows? It sets him off and he refuses to accept it as truth until he has concrete evidence that it is true because he's stubborn to a fault. He's not one to let go of grudges easily and can, given the situation, turn to violence though it's really only happened once and that was in the face of the man that caused his accident in the first place. His temper has started to show itself more and more, especially when he's faced with a situation where people are making choices that he deems ignorant or out of line in general. He's far quicker to stand up for what he believes in rather than taking a back seat or going with the majority like he might have a couple years ago. He does not take kindly to people bad mouthing his friends and when it's a matter of friend against friend? He'll generally side with the one he's known longer or the situation that he believes in more strongly.
Because of the brain damage he suffered when he was trapped underwater, Fitz has a very hard time stringing things together anymore. Thoughts don't come as easily and he tends to stumble over what he's explaining and get frustrated when it's not coming out right. (Sure, this happened before, but it's even worse now. He loses words far easier and gets overly frustrated when this happens, making it even more difficult for him to verbally communicate.) It's made his social anxieties even worse and has brought on a bit of paranoia as well, considering he feels worthless and assumes that everyone else is thinking it as well. He's getting better but it's still taking time for him to really get his head back on straight. The young man is still smart, it just doesn't always seem that way because he can't get everything out like he use to and his hands don't exactly allow him to do the fine engineering work that he use to do. He's finding other ways to communicate and finding individuals that can assist him by doing what he can't in order to bring his creations to life but it's still frustrating and hard for him. He's made a lot of progress, despite all of the road blocks, and is a little more confident in himself--largely in part to the encouragement of people like Coulson and Skye.
The paranoia is also making him wary of even the people he's been working with for over a year now, as mentioned before, Fitz unable to figure out if they have faith in him still or if they've given up. The absence of his lab partner, Jemma Simmons, has also taken it's toll on Fitz and he's prone to hallucinations and talking to himself as well, though he's recently started to realize that he is, in fact, just imagining Simmons being there. The hallucinations are something that he's getting under control more and more but every now and then he can still be found talking to himself in an attempt to work a problem out. Trust, in general, does not come easy on Fitz's end though and he's generally rather stand-offish to new people until he gets a feel for them.
Fitz's faith in himself and his own abilities is slowly but surely coming back and he's getting better about letting people close but it's still a work in progress. Without a network of people he can rely on, he tends to fall back into the darker thoughts, the fears and the worries that haunted him for the first six months after his initial injury. Only time will tell if Fitz will be able to regain more of his abilities and confidence from before.
no subject
Fitz's biggest asset is his brain--damaged as it may be. He's a quick thinker most of the time and can usually find a way out of most situations. While he has had combat training, he's not proficient in it and..generally just tries to make do with whatever objects he has available to defend himself. He can take apart and put back together pretty much anything mechanical that he gets his hands on and has extensive knowledge in mechanics, biology, engineering and physics.
Suitability:
Fitz is a SHIELD agent, even if he does primarily stick to the labs. He's been through the same training that the others have and has learned how to deal with just about any situation that might get thrown his way. That being said, this is going to be unlike anything he's ever had to deal with before, especially since he's going to be alone the majority of the time and while he's definitely functioning better now than he was a few months after his injury, he's not in top form--surviving is going to be a challenge.
He'll do what's necessary to keep himself safe and to figure out what's going on, using all the skills he's gained during his time in SHIED to get by and get out of this hellhole.
RP Samples:
NETWORK
[Waking up in a strange place wasn't..actually all that strange for Fitz. He'd been kidnapped before and been caught up in a lot of strange situations. What was strange, however, was that his cellphone didn't work; none of the lights in the building work. Nothing.
Nothing but the strange tablet he'd found.
The engineer had immediately attempted to figure out if it was a bugged unit or not, trying to get into the settings and dig into the root of it but nothing worked. Fitz's frustration mounted when he realized just how limited the things he could do with it were and he finally stopped attempting to take it apart--
And accessed the supposed network instead.]
Hello? Is anyone there?
[Don't say your name, Fitz. Remember your training. Go about this the right way.]
I can't..I'm not entirely sure where I am and I could really use some help.
[Anyone that knew him would recognize his voice. Anyone else? They'd just think he was some random guy..right?]
THIRD PERSON
While he still didn't have the answers he'd like, Fitz was at least grateful for the maps he'd gotten a hold of and the fact that he'd been left a backpack and a coat. The coat was the most important part, honestly. Even with the sweater he wore it was still ridiculously cold and he was quick to slide it on once he found it and zip it all the way up. From there he started to explore the rest of the strange cabin he was in, doing a sweep of it all like had been suggested to him, finding a few random items in the process.
A mug. An umbrella. A notebook.
It was an odd assortment but he'd find a use for all of them--the paper especially for fire use--and he shoved it all into his backpack before hefting it up onto his back. He needed to try and find Skye and he knew that he didn't have a lot of time to travel through the day; something about lockdown and monsters? He was skeptical about the last bit but he wasn't willing to test the theory on his own meaning he needed to get moving.
The cold only got worse when he finally opened the main door of the cabin and headed out into the snow, his feet taking the brunt of it given the fact that his shoes weren't suited for this. The engineer cursed softly under his breath but refused to go back, trudging through the snow and doing his best to follow the map on his tablet in the process.
By the time he reached another building to settle in for the night, he had half an hour to go before lockdown. Fitz forced himself to keep moving up until he shoved the door up and stumbled in, panting softly as his lungs ached and his limbs tingled with numbness. A small voice in the back of his mind reminded him not to leave the door open--he refused to accept that it sounded like Jemma--and he turned to shove it closed, forehead pressed against the wood.
"This place..is terrible," he muttered to himself, a huff of a laugh following the words. "Look at you, Fitz. Already talking to yourself." Shaking his head, the engineer backed away from the door and turned to look around his new surroundings. Well...at least it kept the elements out, right?
TDM with various characters
ACCEPTED
The first floor of this building is completely ruined. There's no staircase to be found, so getting to the intact second floor is a matter of climbing on dangerously loose-looking rubble. The second floor has a bedroom, bathroom, office, and what once was a hallway closet that now is just a door that opens to the outside, with that portion of the wall ruined. It rattles at night, and sometimes the doorknob turns on its own, but it's probably just the wind, or something.
