Canon Character Information

Appearance: FDR dresses in suits. Not just any suit though, but in high top dollar suits. One of the reasons the bad guy finds FDR is because his suit is custom made. FDR is not afraid of three piece suit with a little bit of color. FDR has brown hair, but towards the top it appears to have blonde highlights. He has very blue eyes and keeps his face surprisingly close shaven. FDR has been described by Lauren as having tiny t-rex hands, but he refuses to acknowledge this fact. His hands are in fact adequate.

History: The Adventures of CIA Manbabies

Personality: Lauren is the one to describe FDR the best. He's a one day rental when it comes to women. He has the emotional intelligence of a fifteen year old boy, but there's always a reason. It's seen through his conversations with Tuck early on the film that FDR has never felt any desire to get close to someone that's not Tuck or his family. Tuck asks if he'd ever want the emotional security they have with a woman to which FDR responds with no. His grandmother tells Lauren that after his parents died it became unnecessary for him to form any other attachments. He's very slow to trust people completely. What FDR and Tuck have isn't just a friendship to FDR. It's a bond. This becomes apparent when FDR is willing to kill one of the targets just to save Tuck despite orders. FDR and Tuck have been partners for years now and the high risk situations seem to have only made them closer. Tuck's even invited to multiple family events with FDR's family. This kind friendship kind of makes up for what FDR lacked in a real honest to goodness love life. He got all his long term emotional needs from Tuck and when it came to women he didn't need them for anything more than sex and a good time. Anything beyond that just wasn't needed. His sexual prowess has even reached legendary proportions in the office. His coworkers call him The Assassin when it comes to women. He never misses his mark with them. Unfortunately after one day he tends to get tired of them and that's the end of that. FDR's life is about himself about fifty percent of the time. The other fifty is evenly divided to his Nana and Tuck. Which is well known fact given that she raised him after his parents died and Tuck is his only friend at all. Which is seen when Tuck is on a date and FDR calls him repeatedly when he doesn't call to cancel their C.H.I.P.S marathon.

FDR has an odd fascination with movies. This could be from his loss as a boy, but no one really knows. They're not real life. He doesn't have a problem with any genre really. He's seen watching The Titanic in one scene and he seems to enjoy it rather than appear bored by the love story. Though during that time period he viewed the film he was still incredibly cynical towards actual romance. When he sees a commercial for the dating website that Lauren and Tuck sign up for he calls it "pathetic" and looks irritated by the thought of someone even signing up. When Tuck tells him he signed up and he's going on a date with a woman from the website then things get worse. FDR openly vocalizes how it will probably end badly. Though mostly it just sounds like his job has probably jaded him in certain areas such as personal security.

For as much of an asshole that FDR can be this doesn't seem to stop him in the woman department. He has multiple dates. He is the one to give Tuck dating advice due to Tuck's absence from the dating pool. He even has romantic things set up with women who live in different countries when they're in the area. FDR can act like an asshole, but when he has to turn it on he can turn it on. But when he does get shut down you can count on him to not stop trying. Lauren visibly shuts him down in the video store, but FDR breaks privacy laws and exploits his job to get her contact information. He shows up at her work ready to try again. He's determined to make her warm up to him and challenges her to a date after some word play. When Lauren starts taking jabs are his personality and emotional intelligence on their date then FDR kind of loses his cool. He starts throwing in his own jabs at her personality, but when Lauren needs him to pretend to be her boyfriend he doesn't miss a beat. FDR is very flexible and will easily forget a woman insulting him if he needs to.

This doesn't mean FDR isn't capable of being anything more than a "one day rental" though. He's capable of making the change, but no one made him want to until he met Lauren. At the beginning of his relationship with Lauren she becomes incredibly intriguing to him. Though mostly it's fueled by a competitive nature that just wants to beat out Tuck. There's no telling what would have happened if Tuck had thrown in the towel originally. FDR probably could have just walked away, but that's unknown. When it comes to tricky romantic situations you can typically find FDR shying away or trying not to get involved. This is confirmed by how astonished Tuck is by the fact that FDR is actively talking about a woman for longer than a day. Long term commitments make him awkward. Like when his grandparents are renewing their vows FDR is heard making old people jokes when Tuck brings up how in love they are at the reception. Not to mention his high risk job makes it almost impossible for him to make an emotional connection because he can't tell them the truth about what he does. When he introduces himself he tells people he's a cruise ship captain and leaves it at that.

FDR's continued growing connection with Lauren has changed him a lot for the better when it comes to women. He's capable of making the long term connection even if he does believe Lauren picked Tuck or should pick Tuck. He brings Lauren home to visit his family and you soon learn that he's never done that with a woman before. It's seen that maybe FDR's bold and brash nature is just an act in how quickly he jumps for her to pick Tuck.

When you get FDR around his family the situation changes. He has a lot of love and admiration for a young cousin of his. Whenever he sees the boy he always tells Tuck how great that kid is or how much he loves him. Mostly this is due to the fact that the kid does whatever he wants and doesn't care how it makes him look. Which is interesting because ninety percent of what FDR does and wears is designed to make him look good. FDR is extremely different around his Nana. He's no longer mouthy and looking to be a massive dick to people. He's sweet and caring. He even seems to live by a piece of advice she gave him that their are no mistakes. His Nana is the woman who raised him and she's the woman he's never going to betray it seems.

With other people though FDR is kind of a jerk. He's a self centered jackass who doesn't a second trying to his own confidence. But at the exact same time FDR would risk his life for anyone if they asked him to. He's a federal agent and he definitely feels a sense of duty to protect people. It could stem from the fact that he couldn't protect his family as a boy. His Nana reveals at a family dinner that FDR wore a Superman costume everywhere as a boy. This very well could be an insight into why he chose this job. No one really knows why he got into this line of work though, but it's definitely a line of work that he's exceptionally good at.

Powers/Abilities/Talents: Mad skills with movie quotes. CIA training which means he's an exceptionally good at hand to hand combat and the use of multiple firearms. He's seen jumping from car to car as they're moving. Basically he's a smallish badass.

AU/CR AU Addendum: When the SUV was flipping at Tuck and FDR was when Atia chose to pluck FDR and drop her on her island. It was there FDR met his wife Annie Walker. FDR was smitten from the first time he met her. They became best friends due to them both being CIA agents and having to lie for a living. FDR slept around while Annie was committed to another man and having his children. Eventually he got his chance and Annie gave up on the emotional baby that was Dean Winchester. She chose FDR and he started taking care of her and her boys. They had bumps and Annie's fidelity wasn't always the best when it came to Dean Winchester. But they eventually married, but then Annie was taken back to her world for a stretch on their wedding night. When she came back things were different until eventually FDR was taken back home again where he stayed. He lived through his encounter with the SUV and with memories intact from Atia he couldn't return Lauren's affection at the end of the film. He's been single since then and twisting the wedding band on his finger every day for the past year.

What 4 items would you like your character to have with them on the island during their stay? Duffel bag full of equipment aka probably guns, tactical vest and various things to keep him safe. A hanging bag with four designer suits inside. His kangaroo baby carrier. Wedding band on his finger from Atia and her island.
