Augusta Carlin

Augusta "Gus" Carlin is a character role-played by netsirk.

General Description
Augusta, or Gus as she prefers to be called, is a university student and sports enthusiast trying to make her way in Los Santos. She plays first base for her softball team, but due to a rotator cuff injury she frequently finds herself benched.

On July 20th 2022, Gus was struck by a car and broke her shoulder. She spent 3 weeks in the ICU and was prescribed Percocet and long-term physical therapy. Due to the severity of her injuries she was told she could never play softball again without intense physical therapy.

Physical Description
Gus is an average young adult with a relatively plain appearance. She tends to dress like a tomboy and frequently wears boyish, or otherwise oversized clothing - notably sports memorabilia such as branded tees and jerseys.

She is 5'7, weighs 148 pounds, has short brown hair, and is Caucasian with slight tan from practicing softball in the sun.

After getting a job at Otto's Autos, she severely damaged her vision by welding without a mask and now wears thick-rimmed glasses to help her see. After she began wearing glasses she also admitted to staring at the sun recreationally because she thinks it's pretty.

She briefly grew her hair out and wore it in a ponytail after having spent several months focusing on getting out of academic probation.

Personality
Despite having a reputation as being a friendly and good natured person, Gus is brash and quick tempered. Because of her time playing team sports she's also developed a competitive attitude and frequently tries to one-up friends and strangers over trivial tasks and achievements. This has lead to her regularly becoming irate when people flaunt their success around her.

She's also relatively dim-witted; frequently citing misinformation as facts in debates and is prone to believing conspiracy theories. Some of her gaffes and errant thoughts dip into the dumb jock stereotype - or worse. Despite being a former financial advisor she also has displayed a stark misunderstanding of how student loans work and believes she isn't obligated to pay them off.
