PLAYER

NAME: lyn
CONTACT: boywonder
ACTIVE TIMES/PACE: i'm on PST (GMT-8) but keep nonsense hours and often tag late at night when everyone else in the states is just waking up idk
BRACKETS/PROSE: vastly prefer prose but i'll match
CONTENT I NEED WARNINGS FOR BUT CAN STILL PLAY:graphic talk of dead parents/grandparents, animal abuse/death, child abuse, rape.
CONTENT I NEED WARNINGS FOR AND WILL NOT PLAY: intimate partner domestic violence (if it's in someone's backstory and comes up, that's ok)
OPT OUT: general TWs and opt out here.

IN CHARACTER

HUGGING: feel free to try but he probably won't reciprocate, and could be outright hostile depending on situation. more likely, he'll just stand there like "..."
KISSING: once he learns how ;D
FLIRTING: absolutely but he will not get it.
FIGHTING: yes! i prefer to hash out deets beforehand and not write drawn out detailed fight threads. he is made for violence, though, and will throw down easily, especially in self-defence. he's made of metal, very heavy, and very fast/strong. he can use pretty much whatever weapon he picks up even without touching on his abilities/enhancements. basically: it will HURT if you're squishy and he hits you.
INJURING: sure. minor dings/scrapes/injury is always fine. major injury is probably also fine with discussion.
KILLING: i don't tend to play death plots without a very good reason but generally speaking he has died like a zillion times anyway so he's going to be very blasé about it. thanks respawn mechanic! so we can play with that for sure.
RELATIONSHIPS: listen i love ships so if there's a will there's a way. (prefer m/m.)
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: he isn't easy to offend but he doesn't appreciate people trying to take away his agency or assume he doesn't have any.

OUT OF CHARACTER

BACKTAGGING: forever.
THREADHOPPING: only in network style threads.
FOURTHWALLING: yes and no! the book Pinocchio exists in his universe and he's aware of it, so that kind of name recognition is fine, but telling him he's from a video game or something, nah.
NOT INTERESTED IN: negative CR that goes nowhere. generally not into straight up slice of life threads, though if it's mixed with some plot or relationship element then it's probably fine. threads focusing on jealousy.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

VISUAL: Not very tall (I'm going with 5'7", there's not a canon height and trying to figure this out will give you a whole headache). Lean, not overly built. Short, wavy, soft black hair. Wide blue eyes that can seem like he's staring more than he means to. Detailed freckle pattern. He has a metal arm that can do a bunch of things. That arm is usually uncovered. NOTE: despite the arm, he convincingly seems like a human. He won't immediately be perceived as a puppet by those who aren't from his world. Even people who are don't always immediately know; most puppets aren't anywhere near as human-looking as Pinocchio.
AURAL: Soft-spoken, baritenor. Believably human sounding. When he's quiet, if someone is close to him, they'll hear the sound of springs/clockwork ticking inside him.
OLFACTORY: Smells like metal and oil, though most of that is from his arm.
DEMEANOUR: Generally polite, but is prone to violence because that's what he knows. Enigmatic, though that isn't always calculated. He's careful in how he interacts with others. Endlessly curious, seeks to learn and understand. Loves music (this is easy to discover). He is a very convincing liar.
