Generic Murdergame Mingle
Basically this is for the PSL That Never Was, where a bunch of characters got thrown into a Generic Murdergame but we only felt like doing some random threads and not committing to a whole murdergame.
Post with the character you're putting into the hypothetical Generic Murdergame. Include as much or as little detail about them as you want - title, profile, typical habits, whether they were spared by the RNG or not, etc.
Then tag other people with whatever threads you feel like doing.

Joel Robinson | Mystery Science Theater 3000
He also admitted this as if this is a normal fact about himself.
This did have its advantages, though. Joel would often go out of his way to comfort grieving people here and either try to cheer them up or just give them a shoulder to cry or vent on. Despite his quirkiness, he did seem very level headed in this whole situation.
He was also pretty helpful in trials, although most of his usefulness stemmed from his genre savviness to murder mysteries (like not leaving out the tiny students even if the person was killed by a heavy object, for example). However, what he really excelled in was the after parties. Starting from after the first trial, Joel made various treats for everyone and even performed skits or played board games with the other students.
He is also absolutely in loved with the regain machine and is almost always around when people put their coins in to see what weird things pop out. He actually tried to disassemble it before he was threatened over it.
He dies relatively early on, becoming the victim after he attempted to kill someone. As it turned out, the "Your loved ones are in danger" motive affected Joel way more than he let on, especially with his insistence that "They're robots, I can always just rebuild them" But even with the intent of murder, he was too nice to actually finish the job and got killed because of it.

You know, if this machine wanted to be ironic about the whole gifts thing, it wouldn't overdo it. Twice is surprising, maybe three times, but five is right out!
...oh hello, Joel Robinson.

Joel is just fine, Dr. Doofenshmirtz. [Whether he's joking or does not get the irony is impossible to tell.] Any luck with that machine over there?
[Judging by the smile on his face he already knows the answer to that.]

No. It should be called a Bad Luck Machine...which in this whole despair theme, would make a lot of sense...but it still grates my gears!

[He is so glad they don't have a VHS player here so that no one will be forced to watch it. At least for the time being.]

You know...that gives me an idea. What if a prize machine, but it gives you bad prizes? The Badprizinator! It'll make people so upset they'll have to buy Doofenshmirtz merchandise and I'll take over the Tristate Area!
prize machine
Okay, um? Ewww.

I'm starting to think this machine might be sentient on some level. I can't imagine your luck can be that bad to get five pairs of the same underwear.

Yeah, I actually got something from home, so to speak. [Holds up a VHS tape.] This is actually the second movie I've gotten from the machine. I really hope not all of the items I'm getting from home are just bad movies.
[Joel frowns, looking genuinely disappointed at that possibility.]

[Slides the VHS out of its case and examines it idly.]
The movie is Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. It's pretty bad but I admit it was pretty charming in its own weird way. The last one I got I wouldn't even show my worst enemy, so I guess you could say this is an improvement. Maybe if we get a media room soon I can show it to you guys.
[Joel no.]

Even if the Martians were just green radio wearing humans.
