What's this? Another bad boy coming from Sam? You must be so surprised!

Ah-ha! But this one is different. This one is a poor.

I think I'm really growing as a person.



"I apologize to everyone here. If you can find it within yourselves to let me make it up to you in the showers, I'd appreciate it."

I guess the easiest way to start is with the username. Tim is indeed a badass and a fullback. The fullback part is obvious. Riggins loves football. He loves playing it, he loves watching it and he's going to be looking for any excuse to talk about it simply because it's the one thing he's comfortable with. He'll be very disappointed to find that there's no football team here but will probably attach himself (as much as Riggins can, anyway) to people who are interested in playing, even if it's not in a serious capacity. The town he comes from is all about football and it's a big part of who he is.

Okay, so the badass part. It's probably not hard to guess what that entails. He's broody, he's got a quick temper, and he basically doesn't take shit from anyone. He's quick to get into a fist fight, even for small offenses. It's just how he rolls. Tim's totally the silent, stoic type for the most part and until he gets comfortable here he won't be saying much to anybody. He doesn't really want to get to know anybody and he sure as hell doesn't want people to get to know him. Hopefully that'll change. Most of his pings in the beginning are going to be internal thought and short, to the point sentences. It's nothing against you or your character (unless your character is a douche) it's just how he is. When he does decide to be sociable he's actually quite charming and is pretty funny. You just have to get past that gruff exterior.

Something that doesn't help Tim's quick instinct to punch something the second it annoys him is his wee drinking problem. Tim comes from a family of heavy drinkers and when things go bad that's where he turns first. People back home are more surprised to see him sober than drunk and it's no big thing for him to be wasted at 7 a.m. It's safe to say the bar will be like a second home to him. He does have the ability to stop, it just takes Lyla someone or something special to convince him to do so.

Getting past the whole bad boy thing, Riggins is actually very loyal to his friends, almost to a fault. He'd do anything for his boyfriend hetero lifemate BFF, Jason Street, and he's quick to help out any friend in need. The only bad thing is that Rigg seems to have the worst goddamn luck in the world and half the time when he tries to do something nice for someone it blows up in his face. The heart's in the right place but sometimes the boy can be a goddamn idiot.

Annnnnnd as you can see, Tim is played by the very handsome Taylor Kitsch. Yes, very easy on the eyes and Riggins knows it. He's a big flirt and he'll pretty much sleep with anybody of the female persuasion. He and Chuck share the whole "able to nail twins" ability. Nice. And, really, a miracle because, despite the good looks, Riggins can sometimes look like he hasn't showered in a while. He almost always wears really old clothes and cowboy boots. Or sleeveless shirts that show off his impressive guns. And he probably smells like beer a lot. Whatevs! He's still pretty to look at. You're allowed to be dirty with a face like that, a nice Southern-Canadian accent (he says "aboot") and a "cute, but tragic, 'Texas Forever' thing". And, yes, Marvel characters, if you want to recognize him as Gambit, you can.

I think that's it! Questions, comments, beer?
