OOC

↬ Back-Tagging

Sure! In a game, I'll back-tag anything from 1 to 3 months back - past that I'm happy to hand wave or summarise. PSL's I'll back-tag to the moon and back so hmu - life get's busy, it happens.

↬ Thread-Hopping

Depending on the thread, a heads up is always nice - otherwise, if it suits everyone involved, let's go!

↬ Comments in the Subject Line

Sure! I tend to get a bit silly with these, so hmu if you'd rather not.

↬ Fourth Wall Breakage

In description, sure - he's an alt-history ninja bird after all - but I'd rather Houou not spiral into an existential crisis, so keep it out of ear shot please.

↬ Offensive Topics

gO FOR IT. No really, he's disgusting and difficult to ruffle. There are few things that he or I will be offended over, but if you're worried, feel free to pm me.

↬ Anything Else?

Houou has 'seen some shit' tm so few topics or descriptions will be out of his scope, especially during any sort of combat/violent situation. If you'd rather I be less graphic or if there's anything pertaining to blood/torture/gore/mental distress/general headfuckery you'd rather I gloss over, /please/ pm me.

First Impressions

↬ Visual

He's pretty ridiculous looking at first glance, but under the costume elements of his clothes, Houou is slim and sturdy. He stands around 5"11, but seems so much taller under those feathers - You get the impression that everything about his appearance is there to be misleading or to make you underestimate him and if you're that perceptive, you'd be very right. It's a wonder why a professional ninja and assassin would wear so might white, but the white through to dark orange brown stains on his bandaged and clawed hands, tell you all you really need to know about Houou's success rate. 

↬ Notable Features

Houou has black and red markings across his eyelids and nose - these are his clan markings and not just makeup. The ones across his eyelids have been show to glow when he's using a particularly powerful move. 
Houou also has almost floor length black hair, that's pure white at the roots.

↬ Demeanour

Houou holds himself at his full height at all times, even seated, he's at ease in his posture and every motion, even the outwardly silly ones, seems thoughtlessly choreographed. There's always something enigmatic about his expression, be it a smile or a frown, but generally he comes off as good natured and polite to his allies and enemies alike. There's a hidden reservoir of cold calculation to Houou, however. Contempt and mockery bleed through when he's especially incensed and he's not beyond acting the fool or throwing around the odd murderous intent. He'll certainly keep you guessing.  

↬ Sound

 Compilation here - His speech pattern is pretty convoluted, but generally polite. He's inclined to be a little poetic or just downright dated in his turn of phrase and can be somewhat mocking in his use of honorifics. 

↬ Scent

Old silk, Camellia oil, Agar/Sandalwood, fresh sweat and syrup.

IC

↬ Hugging

OOC pLEASE - he needs a hug - IC as long as he doesn't perceive you as a threat, you might actually get close enough, but familiarity will determine if he actually /lets you/. Children get a pass - He's not cold hearted enough for that. 

↬ Kissing

OOC go right ahead! IC same as above, honestly. However, Houou is definitely not below kissing as a distraction/a tactic to get something he wants/get close enough to kill you. It's a CR Russian roulette! 

↬ Flirting

OOC /thumbs up/ IC DO it. He is charming as fuck and will use it to his every advantage. He's spent a very long time knowing he's relatively attractive and is perceived as mysterious by most, so be prepared for a challenge. 

↬ Fighting

LET'S GO. seriously, fight him. OOC I love fight threads and IC he's an insanely competent ninja.

↬ Injuring

Cool with most things, but prefer that we talk it over first. Houou is no stranger to injuries, but anything bigger than surface damage (i.e. loss of anything important) needs to be CR/Plot relevant please!

↬ Killing

GOOD LUCK - I mean, yeah this needs to be Plot driven and appropriate. Given Houou's abilities, it's one hell of a feat and you can't really guarantee that he'll stay down, so lets talk things over first.

↬ Telepathy

OOC/IC Sure! After the events of his canon he's most likely pretty vulnerable to this, but he's also got a few other people knocking around his head, so the chances of you making sense/getting a hold on him and keeping it, are pretty slim. Houou won't appreciate /anyone/ in his head without his permission though, so be ready for that fall out if you decide to poke around.

↬ Magic

Houou is familiar with mysticism and technology alike so yeah! Anything that directly affects him, I'd like to be discussed before hand, especially if the outcome is permanent or long lasting, but otherwise we're good.

↬ Triggers

OOC I'm good with pretty much everything IC Houou is pretty fragile currently, so any sort of attempt at mind control, loss of control of his body or being restrained are probably not going to be ideal for him. Also reminders or flash backs of anything regarding his clan - or anything similar - (so massacres/mass killing, especially those involving children) are likely to have him internally panicked or noping the fuck out. That being said, I'm happy to RP these instances, especially to further his plot/recovery, so just give me a heads up.

↬ Relationships

gROSS HE'S A NASTY BIRD-- I mean, go right ahead. Houou's taken a hit to his body confidence, what with being maimed and scarred by death/poison, so casual hookups will be slightly harder to navigate than before, but you're welcome to try - both IC and OOC I'm stoked let's go! Romantically he's a giant sap and is very tired/attention starved. Houou would probably appreciate the fact that anyone see's /anything/ good in him at this point, so if you're interested in dealing with this nest of bees, have at it my friend!

↬ Anything Else?

If you have any questions please feel free to pm/private plurk me. I'm more than happy to go over boundaries pre or mid thread, depending on the situation, so just let me know and we'll work it out.
