Immanuel Clarke

A towering St. Louis cybersecurity veteran trying to survive a cursed road trip to Otakon without crashing the SUV, catching a felony, or losing his sanity.

CHARACTER FILE · PROTAGONIST Immanuel Clarke THE DRIVER HOLDING EVERYTHING TOGETHER His SUV is cleaner than most people's apartments, and he intends to keep it that way. — VITAL STATISTICS — Sexuality: Heterosexual Gender: Male Ethnicity: African AmericanAge: 30 Height: 6'5" Weight: 258 lbs Residence: Modern upper-middle-class apartment complex located in the Central West End district of St. Louis, Missouri Occupation: Cybersecurity Specialist & Senior Programmer — APPEARANCE — Immanuel Clarke is a massive 6'5" African American man from St. Louis with a heavily muscular build, dark skin, brown eyes, a shaved head with visible waves, and a thick well-maintained beard. His presence alone is intimidating enough to make strangers second guess talking to him, especially when he stares over the top of his driving glasses with visible disappointment. He has mild distance vision impairment that mainly affects long-range signs, GPS markers, and nighttime highway visibility. Because of this, he keeps prescription sunshade driving glasses for daytime travel and anti-glare prescription glasses for nighttime driving inside the SUV. During the road trip he wears anime graphic shirts, jean shorts, sneakers or basketball shoes, fingerless driving gloves during highway travel, and a silver chain necklace. His style is practical, casual, and built around comfort, driving, and being able to move quickly if the universe starts acting stupid. — CHARACTER — Immanuel is usually calm, approachable, sarcastically funny, and organized around people he trusts, but his patience collapses fast around stupidity, reckless drivers, dirty vehicles, unnecessary chaos, and anyone touching dashboard controls without permission. He enjoys anime, conventions, cybersecurity research, PC building, video games, working out, night drives, synthwave music, spicy food, gun range practice, and keeping his belongings painfully organized. He dislikes heavy traffic, construction detours, cheap motel bathrooms, gas prices, loud chewing, annoying people, and anything that makes his SUV feel less than spotless. His fears include deep open water, clowns, clustered hole patterns, losing control of the vehicle during severe weather, and being stranded without signal. Beneath the sarcasm, road rage, and military-hardened exterior, he is deeply protective and tries very hard to hold the group together while the universe repeatedly tests his sanity. — BACKGROUND — At 18 years old, Immanuel enlisted in the military and completed two overseas tours while earning degrees in computer science and cybersecurity. Military life hardened him mentally and physically while teaching him discipline, stress management, emergency preparedness, and the habit of planning for everything that could go wrong. After leaving the military three years ago, he entered private-sector cybersecurity work as a senior programmer and security specialist for a major technology security company. Immanuel was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, where growing up in the city forced him to mature quickly and become highly observant of dangerous situations. His heavy St. Louis inner-city slang mixes strangely with the vocabulary of someone who reads constantly and works in cybersecurity. He later entered a committed polyamorous relationship with Samantha Freeman and May Yoshine, becoming the default protagonist-driver for the cursed Otakon road trip. — RELATIONSHIPS — → May Yoshine. A constant source of flirting, distractions, affection, emotional chaos, and threats to the cleanliness of his SUV. → Samantha Freeman. The only person in the group who can reliably match his intensity when the road turns dangerous.
