skinandbonethis is a magical happy placeholder of love. Someday, it will grow up and have answers.
JUST THE FACTS, MA'AM
Name: Metody Rabbit Green
Aliases: Met, Toad, Skunky, Flower
Age and/or birthday: 30, and a touch prickly about it
Gender: Bonus question! Variable. For the duration of this survey, female.
Fandom/Media/OC?: OC
Programmed Possession: A wicked awesome environmental suit designed to protect her for up to 36 hours of continuous exposure to the poisonous gas clouds drifting around her former home
Arrival date: Dec 4, 1012
I am...: ...trying to be kind, gentle and helpful. Sometimes it works.
BODY OF EVIDENCE
Describe your character physically. Metody's fleshy portion is small, delicate and pale as death. She looks a bit eerie- more like an elegant illustration brought to life than an actual human. This is a combination of overzealous alteration of her own bone structure to match an idealized face, and the unnatural air of her pale as ice complexion. Most humans would have difficulty deciding what gender she is, absent social cues like clothing and hairstyle. Those with better than human senses might be able to determine that her gender switches on a regular basis.
Metody's augments her paper coloration with cosmetics - blonde tint in her white hair, eyebrow pencil and mascara to define invisible facial features and a dusting of powder to give her a hint of skin tone. She is more likely to forget to wear pants than she is to forget her makeup.
Not all of Metody is pale and washed out. Her entire body is awash in beautifully detailed tattoos of green leaves, thickest at her waist and hips. There are even tattoos on the soles of her feet and one under her tongue.
The boney part of her is...boney. The exact shape, and the number of her extensions is variable. Even though her boney bits can be called her creatures, make no mistake: not only are they a part of her, but they are her majority. She often feels like she is crouched behind a curtain, using a hand puppet to talk to other hand puppets while the full extent of her body stays hidden.
What does your character wear? Metody has two kinds of clothing: her heavy, ugly, thick environmental suit, which looks a bit like a fighter pilot's gear, and much, much too bright. Think that no one would ever buy that Hawaiian print sweater because electric orange was never meant to be placed near puce? Not only did Metody buy it, but she nipped in the waist, added a kicky skirt and then did some beading.
That covers what they look like. What do they sound like? Metody has a soft tenor/alto and a generic American Midwestern accent. She has an extensive vocabulary, and is excruciatingly careful about her word choice. She does not curse.
When she's drunk, sick or exhausted, a West Virginia accent creeps in around the edges.
Running down the list of the five senses.... smell? Like downwind from a steel mill, bone meal and long sickness. And hair tint and soap.
Touch & Taste. Uh, okay there. ....soft but dry? Oily if she's just applied ointment? Isn't this kind of personal?
Any vampire unwise enough to ignore her smell would learn that, as with some cheeses, the taste is even worse.
The fine, fine details: Metody's left hip is pinned and there is a rod in that leg. One part of her heart simply quivers and another beats half as fast as it should, and so she takes blood thinners to guard against clots, and has a pacemaker. Someone who is sensitive to such things would notice that her heartbeat is perfectly regular. Her pacemaker is able to detect her breathing rate and respond to it, so if she becomes frightened or stressed, her breathing rate rises first, and then her heartrate - a reversal of the human norm. She is highly sensitive to alcohol, but metabolizes other drugs quite quickly. She is able to survive with less oxygen than most humans.
Her face was smashed in a car accident. A significant portion of her frontal lobes is dead. That's okay, though - she keeps her mind in her bones.
She is forever draining out poisons. Not to be indelicate, but her bodily wastes could be harmful to others with repeated exposure....so try not to drink her sewage, okay?
She tends towards delirium when sick.
PB differences? Andrej Pejic is like fifteen feet tall. Metody might look attenuated, but she's tiny. She's also covered in tattoos, as above.
BENEATH LE SURFACE
A history of me: How have they come to be the person they are? Links to established summaries of canons or characters are accepted for those of you who like to use those.
Who matters? Who are the most important people and relationships in your character's life? In or out of Taxon-- if they left family or friends behind, talk about that here. You can also feel free to talk about their relationships with the people they have met in Taxon-- who do they get along with? Who are they indifferent towards? Who would they like to throw off a cliff?
Personality & Psychology: A summation of how this person thinks, feels, and relates to other people.
Skills, Powers, Weaknesses, and et cetera: Use this space to list both 'mundane' skills (your character's a good cook, or a kick-ass shuffleboard player), as well as any 'superpowers' they may have, if applicable. Additionally, you can list weaknesses and flaws (she's phobic of commitment, he's terrible in bed...). All sorts of things can go here, including languages spoken or college classes taken.
Sexytiems: All fields on this are optional, including this one, but if you would like to digress at length about your character's sexuality/attitude towards sex/love/romance, this would be the place to do it.
Best way to meet this character: Someone's new to Taxon, and maybe their character isn't the most outgoing-- what is the likeliest way your characters can meet? In other words, what does your character do in his or her daily Taxon routine that would provide opportunities for other characters to run into them? Where can they be found? What plot hooks are good ways to get CR going for this character?
PERMISSIONS
This section is to establish a baseline of both OOC permission and IC conditionals for various things that might happen in game. As always, just telling someone to 'talk to you OOC' on any borderline cases is a perfectly vald answer.
THE MIND: Can your character's mind or emotions be read by characters with the ability to do that? Do they have any sort of resistance to this? Is it okay with you OOCly? How will you designate 'thoughts' in narration? What is their mind like?
THE BODY: Is it okay for your character to come to physical harm? What sorts of invulnerabilities or resistances, if any, do they have to bodily injury? Is there anything you're specifically cool or not cool with? Are their possessions and homes available for damage, or not?
FUNKY STUFF: Is it okay for characters who are psychic or just 'know' things about your character to get information from your background/wiki/etc and reference those things in threads? Is it okay if people can 'sense' things about your character, such as auras or true species?
PRIVACY: Are you okay with characters threadhopping into your threads and posts, and/or threadjacking? Are you okay with characters reading your character's unlocked posts? Their locked posts? Will your character ever hide their presence on the tablet map?
SURPRISE!: Are you okay with your character being snuck up on, or do they have skills or powers that would make this unlikely?
