skinandboneIs there something not here you want to discuss? Please PM me, or contact me via AIM under GelikiNash (If it says I'm away, there is an even chance I'm not.)
General
Character Name: Metody
Species (human/alien/vampire/other?): He's a one-off; the only thing like Metody is Metody. He is apparantly human
Extra-human/abnormal abilities, if any?: Metody's powers center around bone – shaping, healing and manipulating them. This includes associated tissues, such as tendon, ligament and cartilage, as well as dead bone. He is able to divide his consciousness between multiple bodies, enabling him to animate his bone creatures. Unless his main mind is occupying one, these are roughly as intelligent as a dog. When his fleshy body is unoccupied, it is unconscious.
He is also able to physically change gender.
Psychology
1. Is it okay for your character's thoughts to be read/their mind to be probed? Only by extremely adept psychics; Metody's mind is a thin scum of almost-human on top of a rotting swamp of dead. It is quite easy for someone of lesser ability to step on the wrong decaying log and make everything roll over, knocking Metody out until things restabilize.
2. Is it okay for any of your character’s intense/distressing memories to be seen/heard/read in this situation? Yes
3. What kind of mind does your character have? Are they disturbed at all? Are their thoughts ordered or jumbled? Metody's underlying thoughts are extremely jumbled. He compensates for this with a highly disciplined, methodical approach to thinking things out.
4. Is it okay for your character’s emotions to be sensed? Yes. Anyone can sense them.
5. Does your character have a weak or strong mind? Are they susceptible to influence or hypnotism? Metody's mind is neither weak nor strong. An external influence would work far better than something that must creep into his mind, as the landscape of his mind is not logical.
6. Does your character have supernatural/mental fortification against mind-reading or telepathic communication? Just a tendancy to scream and go offline for a while.
7. In the case of characters who are extra-sentient/psychic and can just 'know' things about people, can the muns of these characters use the powers of Wikipedia to get information about your character? Please contact me if you want your character to use these powers. I'm irregularly on AIM under GelikiNash (if I show up as away, just poke me - there's an even chance I'm actually there) and I can be contacted through messages.
8. If so, is there anything that should absolutely never ever be brought up? There is no way for anyone to know IC that Metody is a shred of a god. This is meta knowledge. If it is brought up IC, Metody will think you are crazy and I will be irritated.
9. Anything that should absolutely be brought up? Feel free to poke at the whole 'not human' thing.
10. Will thoughts in the narration be up for grabs? If so, how will you indicate these? Italics/strikes/something else? Nope.
11. Does your character have any fears/phobias that you wouldn't mind being exploited? Ones that you'd like to NOT be exploited? Metody is unnerved by things without bones. He's fairly okay with worms, especially the large edible sort, but slugs and octopi gross him out. People without bones - say, cyborgs, or Wolverine - are going to be very distressing.
Metody has a strong cultural fear of the dead; in his world, a human body is a genuinely dangerous thing. He is able to sense if bones are alive or dead, so if your character is a zombie or vampire, feel free to exploit that.
Physiology
1. Is it okay for your character to be affected by chemical agents? Fear toxins, for example? Thanks to his time in Steel City, Metody has an idiosyncratic response to toxins. Give me a poke if you have an interesting idea!
2. Does your character have any unique biological difference that would affect their resistance to toxins/chemical substances? He's extremely sensitive to alcohol, but highly resistant to opiates.
3. Does your character have any notable genetic/supernatural/biological difference that would make their blood in any way different to a regular baseline human's (that would make them taste different if they were fed on by a vampire, for example)? Drinking Metody's blood would be like taking a healthy swig of factory run-off. The smell is a clue.
Physical
1. How okay are you with your character coming to physical harm? I'm good on this. Just message me before he is incapacitated or maimed - and bear in mind that broken bones aren't an issue for him. Retaliation is not likely unless he thinks he might die.
2. How okay are you with your character's home/possessions being targeted by bad guys? Just fine.
3. Can your character be impacted by telekinesis? Yes.
4. With regard to vampires, would your character be willing to be a donor? No. Walking dead people are going to freak him out.
5. If no, then how about unwilling? Sure.
6. With regard to shapeshifters, are you okay with having those with this power taking the shape of your character? Yes.
7. If your character has any superhuman abilities, would you be okay with these being replicated by those who have the power to absorb/take on the powers of others? Yes.
8. In a physical confrontation, is it okay if characters who have the power to sense/foresee/predict movements use this to their advantage against your character? Yes, so long as these rely on external clues, like an ability to sense the future, or a keen reading of body language.
9. Are you willing to participate in plots where your character will sustain damage outside of a fight, such as in situations with torture, environmental hazards, or accidents? Yes
10. Is there anything about them that would stand out noticeably (things like scars, physical augmentations, illness, anomalies, etc.) if they were ever injured or otherwise examined by a doctor? Are any of these things noticeable to others without close inspection? Metody is covered in tattoos of green leaves. He has a pacemaker with the brand and model number tattooed over it. He has multiple piercings. There is a metal rod in one of his legs. He has a great many fine, pale, nearly invisible scars, especially arond his face. He is constantly shedding toxins.
Magics
1. Can your character be influenced and tempted by magical or supernatural means? Yup.
2. If yes, will someone with the ability be able to find this out about them, and in what areas (think the seven deadly sins) can your character be tempted? Yes. As far as the Seven Deadly Sins go, Lust would be the most obvious for Metody. An appeal to fear would also work.
3. Could your character be glamoured (a form of mind control employed by vampires to make humans compliant/alter their memories etc.)? Yes
4. Can your character be effected by spells of any kind, and are there any specific types to which they would be immune? Yes; anything affecting the bones. A spell to kill Metody would have to catch all of him, which might be tricky, as he does not keep all of himself in one place.
5. Can your character's presence be sensed by characters with the power to read auras/pick up generalized vibes from people? Yes. Very easily.
6. If yes, what kind of stand-out things about your character can be sensed? He is far, far bigger than he looks. He is old, and tired, and nearly dead. The bit that can be thought of Metody's personality is just a rainbow slick of oily scum on top of the swamp that's the rest of him.
7. With regard to characters that can sense danger/receive visions/predict general doom, are you okay with your character being the subject of any of this, if the occasion arises? Yes
Privacy
1. Will your character change their name as it is shown on the map? If so, what will they change it to? If possible, Metody will rename the boney part of himself. He would prefer something inocuous (like 'Sewer Station #53'), but if that's not possible, he'll name that part of himself Osso.
2. If they’re able, will they ever opt to hide their location on the map? Yes. He really doesn't want people to go poking around the rest of him.
3. If your character is from an earlier point in their canon than another member of your cast, what is and is not okay for your fellow castmate to spill the beans about regarding your character’s future? n/a
4. With regard to characters that like to snoop, can they find anything that's been publicly said by your character through the tablets? Yes
5. How about privately? Contact me about this, please.
6. Is there anything you'd especially like to be known about your character, for the purposes of amusement? For my amusement and his distress, I'd like for his inhumanity and gender to come out.
7. Anything you especially don't? I'm really serious about the god thing. It's a neat bit of meta knowledge that should never intersect with IC.
8 Do you like threadhopping (a character not already in a thread jumping in unexpectedly to reply to a comment), and are you okay with other people threadhopping in your threads and posts? I love threadhopping. Half the fun of RP is reading other people's stories!
