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 ✱ physical assistance ✱
physical affection: V's Familiars (okay, Griffon and Shadow) may get touchy touchy, but V isn't used to a great deal of physical affection. He's more likely to keep some distance than get especially chummy. He'll ask for physical assistance when he needs it and sometimes will accept offers from help. Otherwise, prepare to put in some effort to be allowed into his physical space.
fighting while injured ✔︎ minor injuries ✔︎ killing others ✱ major injuries ✱ sparring ✱ srs altercations ✱ temporary death ✱ permanent death ✘
physical violence: V has spent much of his life fighting, whether that's as V or in his memories before he was separated from Vergil. It's familiar ground if nothing else. It happens. He expects it. Tada. Due to his magical and physical limitations, he won't spar with just anyone, and I'd prefer to plot serious stuff before going down that route.
flirting ✔︎ homoerotic moments ✔︎ romance ✱ sex ✱ fast burn ✘
romance & sex: Romance and sex haven't been a priority in his life. They aren't about to become a priority in his life, even if stepping away from his life is the first time he's truly had a chance to breathe and consider those options. He'll flirt easily enough—as much with an enemy as a friend (have to have friends to flirt with them). Yet it usually doesn't mean anything beyond having a good time with the time he has. Since his existence is limited, he also may try to push away people to protect them.
internal conversation ✔︎ using abilities on V ✱ V using abilities on others ✘
psychic abilities: V has pacts with Griffon, Shadow, and Nightmare. Griffon is the only one who speaks exactly (how V can understand), and those conversations can happen when Griffon is out and about to be heard by others... or when Griffon is inside V, no more than tattoos on his skin and an externalization of an annoying baby brother.
What? So V can have some internal conversation, which may be picked up on by someone with the right abilities. Please reach out/get permission first before using psychic abilities on V.
familiars ✔︎ demonic power ✱
magic: V has pacts with Griffon, Shadow, and Nightmare. These familiars are nightmares, discarded memories and limited demonic power, from when Vergil split himself into V and Urizen. They are part of him, and they are not. They're bound to him, and they keep each other alive, at least a little longer. The nightmares are V's primary means of doing major damage in combat. However, they cannot deal the final blow. That comes at V's hand. V has the dregs of some demonic power left in him, but it's not much. He reads as human to most people, so it'd take a sensitive one to register him as
a magical girl having power.
human ✔︎ you don't look well ✔︎ hair color ✱
medical information: The first sign V might not be able bodied is that he walks with a cane. However, beyond that, he gets tired easily, is gaunt, and has the stamina of a chronically ill teenager (should he continue to do more? no. will he? if he thinks he must, no matter the bad decision consequences). Further, his skin has started to crack. It's bad times. His hair usually looks black. Technically, it's tattooed black. The white gets revealed should he summon Nightmare.
Content Warnings & Sensitive Subjects
series & background cws ✘ character's sensitive topics ✱
attempted murder ✘ body horror ✘ child endangerment ✘ demons ✘ gore ✘ loss of autonomy ✘ mass murder ✘ memory loss ✘ religious fanaticism/cults ✘ torture ✘ violence ✘
weakness ✱
sensitive subjects: This sensitive subject is mostly an internal one, but V's frustrations can spill out when someone just leaves, for example, when he's not done/cannot even keep up with them. It's something he's coming to grips with and working on internally, both when it comes to helping others and receiving help himself. Yes, he had beef with an 8 year old for being weak. It happens.
