Out of Character
yes ✔︎ ask first | see notes ✱ no ✘
backtagging ✔︎ If it's been > 1 month since it was tagged, I assume it's dropped.
threadhopping: network ✔︎ threads/logs ✱ (touch base first)
fourthwalling: Generally, no. Open to discussion for exceptions.
spoilers: minor ✔︎ major ✱ (touch base first) I prefer to consume content for CR.
negative cr: While OOC communication is always good, I require that for negative CR.
descriptive violence/horror: I'm usually comfortable writing at my character's canon levels. I still appreciate a heads up all the time.
explicit sex: Generally no. Once I have gotten to know & trust a writer, I will consider it.
In Character
yes ✔︎ ask first | see notes ✱ no ✘
casual touch ✔︎ hugs ✔︎ puns ✔︎ snark ✔︎ cuddles ✱ sitting 5 ft apart because they're not gay ✘
physical affection: Yes. Yes. Yes. Gideon is a tactile person heavily inclined toward physical affection. YMMV based on relationship, but she is touch-starved. If she gets overstimulated, grounding touch is appreciated.
swords ✔︎ swords ✔︎ swords ✔︎ swords ✔︎ swords ✔︎ minor injuries ✔︎ major injuries ✱ srs altercations ✱ temporary death ✱ permanent death ✘
physical violence: Please let her fight anything with a sword. Friendly bouts are welcome. Unfriendly interactions, well, if they must come, let it come with sword play (please). Growing up, Gideon used physical violence at her most touch-starved. She can give off a "so fight me" vibe... Plotting appreciated to sort out how different skills/abilities/canons intermix.
awkward around hot women ✔︎ crushes ✔︎ flirting ✔︎ dating ✱ sex ✱ men ✘
romance & sex: Gideon will flirt (with women), and she's gotten crushes before (on women). However, an evil bag of sticks and prayers has long burrowed into her heart, so she's not available for relationships, no matter how strained and difficult said relationship with said evil bag of sticks and prayers is.
body language ✔︎ puns ✔︎ social cues ✔︎ mind reading via touch ✱ telepathic messages ✱ will based ✱ mind reading across distance ✘
psychic abilities: Gideon can only score psychic damage through great puns. As ½ a lyctor pair, her mind/body is canonically a black hole until touched. Please plot first about will-based effects. She is good at reading people and body language (while I am not).
If there's something she should pick up, please let me know.
innate magic ✘
magic: Gideon has no magic of her own.
durability ✔︎ improved healing time ✔︎ hard to kill ✱ aging ✘
medical information: Gideon is suspiciously bad at dying. She can take more of a beating, and she's survived direct poisoning. She heals faster than average but not instantly, and Gideon no longer ages. Reach out to discuss/plot injuries, etc.
Content Warnings & Sensitive Subjects
series & background cws ✘ character's sensitive topics ✱
attempted murder ✘ body horror ✘ child murder ✘ child neglect ✘ cult-ish society ✘ death ✘ eldritch horror monsters ✘ food scarcity ✘ gore ✘ lack of autonomy ✘ memory problems ✘ murder ✘ skeletons ✘ suicide & suicidal ideation ✘ unhealthy relationship dynamics ✘
bullying ✱ going after harrow ✱ loss of autonomy ✱
sensitive subjects: #1 issue is orders/attempts to control her life. Even when it's petty, she will often resist/do just the opposite for the sole reason of the attempt to control her autonomy. On the other hand, the amount she will do for people
if they just ask is sometimes questionable for judgment. So it is. Bullying/such treatment of others often gets the "you get to deal with me" response.
