PLAYER

NAME: Laura
CONTACT: You can find me at [plurk.com profile] jojoveller or PM me.
ACTIVE TIMES/PACE: I'm in EST and I teach public school, so my hours are Badweird until the summer, when they just become weird. I do my best to tag regularly.
BRACKETS/PROSE: Brackets by default, but I can prose if you want.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Not interested in playing out noncon or teacher/student that is specifically age-gap-with-underage-partner-centric.

IN CHARACTER

PHYSICAL AFFECTION: You may; he was dead in a room for thirty years without any physical contact and his ability to feel touch as a ghost is kind of Strange, now. But he's not opposed.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Would you hit a guy with glasses. Also he's a ghost, man.
RELATIONSHIPS: With development, yes!! Depending on his pull point he's in a vague situationship but with the understanding that He Is A Dead Man and that makes relationships kind of swimmy, anyway. If you would like to smooch the ghost and this bothers you, he can be pre-situationship.
PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: Well, he's a ghost. He pretty much exists as a mind forcing himself on the world so he can still be perceived as a spirit, so trying to read his mind and etc. might be odd. Ask me!
MAGICAL INFORMATION: He is a moderately talented alchemist and adequately talented magician. His specialization is in the spirit magic that allows him to manifest more physically for bursts of time, but he can Do Spells. He's more interested in the academics of magic.
MEDICAL INFORMATION: Dead. When he's in the manifested physical form, he's technically not human and doesn't have any organs or actual automatic bodily processes.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: None, presently. This includes being murdered.

OUT OF CHARACTER

BACKTAGGING: Please and thank you.
THREADHOPPING: Texting threads that aren't marked private: sure. Otherwise: ask.
FOURTHWALLING: No thanks.
NOT INTERESTED IN: I gesture up above...

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

VISUAL: A ghost! In his default form he is kind of transparent and wispy around the edges, his colors a little washed out. He also floats, but he tries to remain as grounded as possible. In the manifested form he just looks like a real flesh person, if a touch wrong, like at a glance his joints aren't exactly joints, that kind of thing. This is because, again, his manifested form is not a human body with a skeleton and organs, it's a construct.
AURAL: tba
OLFACTORY: Kind of the way ice and snow and cold water smell, the crisp non-presence of a scent, with an undefined chemical undertone. His manifested form smells inexplicably of ink.
DEMEANOR: Like a guy who's been dead for thirty years and hasn't had to socialize for a while. It takes a lot of subconscious effort for him to make himself perceivable, and so sometimes he can seem unconcerned about social norms or manners. Not in an actively rude way, but more in the way of someone who kind of forgot how to be around people after a very long time alone. He carries himself with poise and quiet confidence, and most of the time acts in careful and deliberate ways. When he's at work he's myopic and hyperfocused, but when he's not at work, he's more loose and casually friendly-at-a-distance, like he's standing just outside the circle of human interaction at all times. He finds most responses to his ghostly being kind of amusing, in the way small children's overblown reactions to things are amusing.
