Name/Canon: Alec Hardison / Leverage
Origin: Earth, Portland, 2012ish

Cliffs Notes: Hacker turned sort-of-good guy. Hardison works with a team to go after bad guys who attack or swindle the innocent and tries to make things right. Most of all, though, he gets to do what he loves with the people he loves.
Daily: Hardison works a thankless job in the 116 Emergency Systems in the Central Processing Unit. He might have gotten a useful job scanning and responding to emergency calls, but he pissed off his supervisor on his first day and is often assigned menial and simple tasks despite his large set of computer skills. This works to his advantage, however, as he has turned his job into one that suits himself and the Specials by monitoring communications for new arrivals and keeping internal security off the Special's trail. He is in room 1103 with Parker (his boo) and Morgana. He tends to be a little messy as a roommate, though he will pick up after himself if he's asked or made to feel guilty about it. He and Parker is most likely inseparable when they don't have to be at work and very clearly together. He spends most of his time in his cubicle at CPU and in his room with Parker working on the Special's network and trying to keep Internal Security off everyone's electronic tail. He may also be addicted to the online game FizzPop.
Opinions: Hardison is so over Alpha and all it's glories. He wants to get home. If he ever sees Eliot again he will hug him until he has to be tased. He is not a fan of the interrogation methods and is genuinely pissed at the way they are treated like second class or however-many-colors-of-the-messed-up-rainbow-there-is-here class citizens. He doesn't believe the line about the clones, but think it's propaganda to keep them all in line.
Pings: hacker, gamer, friendly personality, smooth talker, can talk to anyone, reaches out to newbies, has jokes, will call you out if you're screwing things up
Seeking: friends, conflict, other hackers to help with the system, people he can trust, competition when it comes to being awesome at computers, allies in taking The Computer down
Offering: he will hook you up with everything that they've put together for the specials as long as he can verify that you're not a spy.
Plot: He wants to take The Computer down or at least make this place a little less batshit crazy
Goals: Mainly I see Hardison taking on more responsibility behind the scenes and setting people up with what they need, though I also enjoy the idea of him taking part in acts of rebellion - particularly if they involve blowing things up/making him look good in front of Parker. The only problem is that sometimes he gets too cocky and that gets him in trouble. Also something I'd like to see.
No thanks: Feeling it all!

BONUS What Hogwarts House they would belong to and why: Man, I don't even know. Maybe Hufflepuff? Hardison is super smart but most of all he's kind of a big softie. He wants to do the right thing most of the time, though he's willing to break the rules if that's what it takes. He's a dependable, loyal and friendly, but still has a backbone when he needs it.

HEY ROOMIE.

THESE TWO SHOULD PROBABLY ACTUALLY MEET. ;D Like I'm sure they've met in a technical sense because they sleep in the same room but still.

She is totally not avoiding her roommates. Nope. but yeah they should probably know each other at least a tiny bit better, all things considered.

[geekage]

I will hit her up with a thread as soon as I have time to write a starter. They do need to know each other better. Plus the whole medieval thing is pretty cool, even if it hurts him inside that you don't know what a computer is.

:D

Okay so she sucks at computers, I feel ya Hardison.

BUT. Swords. 8D

With the understanding that the same person plays Hardison and Tony, I'd like to say that I want to work towards Hardison and Steve having a very solid, trusting relationship. In a way so that Steve will be like, hey Hardison, we found the name of some terrible people — can you hook me up with all the intel and run the missions just like in Leverage? K, cool.

[geekage]

Anything for Captain America. And just give his girlfriend some time to warm up to him.

But yes, Hardison totally looks up to Steve and would help him with whatever he needed. He's like Marvel's Batman. (Which I can say because I play Hardison and Tony and therefore know just how offensive this is to Tony.)
