CHARACTER NAME: Sven
CHARACTER SERIES: Original Character, based in the DND 5E universe

[OOC]

Backtagging: Yes, for at least a couple of weeks.
Threadhopping: Please check with myself and the other player first.
Fourthwalling: Not unless your muse is from a fourthwall-heavy canon (eg. Gintama). The odd gag is okay!
Offensive subjects: I can roll with any in-character topic so long as it's IC.

Hugging this character: Go for it! If you're on friendly terms with him he'll likely reciprocate. Otherwise he'll be a touch confused, but hell, maybe he'll hug back anyway. Everybody needs a hug now and again!
Kissing this character: Naturally he's going to be less receptive to kissing unless he knows you intimately. Kisses on the cheek from friends are pure and good though-! But if you're a close friend and you go in for a full smooch you'd better be prepared for him to catch feels.
Flirting with this character: Why the fuck not.
Fighting with this character: Please! At 5'4 he's a pretty short dude, but he's well muscled from travelling everywhere by foot and hauling himself up cliff-faces and the like. He's got a mean right-hook. Of course, if he's going all out then he also has his fire powers and magical weapon to contend with.
Injuring this character (include limits and severity): Considering this guy can cauterise his own injuries and use his magic to straight up melt his own limbs back on if he needs to, I'd say have a field day.
Killing this character: Death is cheap in this game, go for it. Just give me a shout first.
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Yes! Let me know in the tags so that I can help you out by adding useful details to my tags.

Warnings:

Regarding Sven's gender: Please do not misgender, clock, or otherwise out Sven as transgender. Sven is stealth (meaning he passes for a natal male and chooses not to disclose otherwise), and is very private about that aspect of his past. I'm not interested in using Sven's gender identity as a cheap plot point. If you think there's legitimate cause for your character to find out about Sven being a trans man, speak to me first so that we can plot something properly.

Sven's healing power: Sven can heal injuries, poison or sickness in affected characters, but your character will feel way, way worse before they feel better. Sven's powers work by cauterising your flesh back together--your character will feel the agony of having red hot metal jammed into their open wound. Even healing broken bones will make your character feel as though their bones are being melted back together like snapped steel, and ridding your character of illness or poison will make them burn a fever that lets them know what it would feel like to stand on the edge of hell itself.

They'll feel better in moments and be left fully healed and pain free with no lingering scars, but it's still a pretty horrendous thing to endure and Sven tries to avoid healing other people save for emergency situations. I'll endeavour to always ask first OOC if Sven doesn't himself, but if you are NOT comfortable with Sven ever using this power to help your character, please comment here. (Alternatively, yes you can also use this post to request Sven grant your injured character their seventeen seconds of hell!)

The Flowers of Nil: Sven keeps his hair up using a strange ornament that looks like a charred tree branch with an orange glass flower blooming from it. In his hands, it becomes a shape-shifting weapon that can take on several forms. Its powers don't work for anyone other than Sven, but that's not the important part: if the artefact is taken by somebody with malice in their heart, they will be burned! Grabbing the Flowers of Nil with impure intentions will feel like grabbing a hot poker. So if you take it upon yourself to steal the artefact from his hair, be warned! (For anybody else who touches the ornament, it feels warm to the touch, like sun-warmed stone. Oddly, it's about as heavy as if it were made of stone, too, though it appears to behave like a normal branch in Sven's hands).

Please feel free to use this post to ask any questions you may have, or to opt out of playing with Sven if you so wish. All comments are screened.
