Tim McDonald

[matt_s]

A milquetoast accountant from the Midwest United States, he works in a cubicle farm (modern agriculture at its finest!) turning perfectly good hours into excel spreadsheets and reports nobody will read. He drives a 1997 Toyota Corolla to work, parks in an overcrowded lot, clocks in at 8am, clocks out at 4:30pm, and heads home to half of a townhouse with popcorn ceiling and cheap if robust appliances. Living the dream, you might say. Highlights of his week are BAGEL FRIDAY 🥳🥳🥳 and that moment on Wednesday when he realizes his work week is more than halfway over. But Tim has been feeling a bit morose as of late, but those feelings he dismisses as the effects of office life more than anything else. Perhaps they are, perhaps they are not. He got good grades in school, but not the best, and kept his head down and studied in college. Tim's reward was a boring but steady job with a middle class paycheck.

 

Clean(ish) shaven, mildly but not excessively overweight, and generally so bland nobody can pick him out of a crowd and every so often even his coworkers take a moment to remember his name, Tim lives life more on less on autopilot. He dons office casual that degrades in formality and neatness year after year, and occasionally dabbles in fishing, though where he lives you'd be wise to not eat what you catch. Tim is a kindly man but not saintly, focused but not obsessive, and so on - moderation to a fault describes him well enough. His most stand-out virtue is his integrity. Integrity is either very valuable or very dangerous in an accountant, and it did get him "rightsized" from a position. Nothing so drastic as whistleblowing to the IRS, but signing his name to a memo that refused to certify fishy figures was cause enough to be shown the door. Nobody would have known but Tim, but that would be one person too many for him to live with.

He's an accountant, so let's push strength down to below average and psyche up to Superior.

 

I deliberately wrote this summary as a very very bland/normal office worker, hopefully it will serve as a good contrast to where he ends up
