•THREAD-JACKING: I love thread jacking.
•FOURTH WALLING / CANON PUNCTURE: I'm totally fine with historical fourth-walling in general - if your character would be familiar with the Bioshock multiverse or Bioshock Infinite specifically, please let me know however so we can decide how to proceed!
•BACKTAGGING: I'll backtag practically forever.
•AVOIDED TOPICS: I don't do plots that involve rape or sexual assault. Otherwise, I'm good with just about anything.
IC CHARACTERISTICS:
•PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Booker is 6'1", brown hair (going a little gray at the temples), green eyes, perpetually unshaven, and his most noticeable scar is actually a brand carved into the back of his right hand, the initials AD. He's broad-shouldered, will probably wear clothes that look at least 80 years out of date, with big, rough laborer's hands.
•DEMEANOR: Booker is former army, and he's used to being the biggest badass in the room, but he's also a drunkard, so there's that. He speaks somewhat archaically, given the time period he comes from, and on top of basically only being familiar with Edwardian levels of technology, he also only has an eighth grade education, tops. He's got the standard 'reading, writing and arithmetic' type formal education, and he's got a lot of street smarts, but don't expect him to be able to grasp complex topics.
•ABILITIES: +VIGORS: As outlined in his app, Booker has several vigors available to him in a fight, though they are limited by the ability to find a steady supply of salts
+FIGHTING: Booker's main skills involve shooting things, or punching them to death.
•MEDICAL INFORMATION: He's a drunk. Otherwise, he's a healthy 38-year-old man, with occasional weird memory loss incidents.
•OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Not much is offensive to Booker. Except maybe hurting children, which he doesn't do. Also, anyone even thinking about hurting Elizabeth (beunbroken @ tushanshu) within a fifty mile radius of Booker will probably come to a bad end. He's a papa bear.
IC PERMISSIONS:
•MENTAL: Sure.
•MIMICRY: That should be okay - let me know if you want to do something like that and we'll talk it out.
•VIOLENCE: Booker can be a very violent man when provoked, so sure.
•MAGIC: He is undoubtedly very susceptible to magic.
•DEBATE: Sure.
•HUGGING/KISSING/PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Booker's kind of a no-touchy guy, but if you want to go for it, sure. Just be aware he might not react well to it.
•SHIPS: This guy is very damaged on a psychological level, so I wouldn't recommend it, but I'm not going to completely nix the idea, either. Anything can happen!
•OTHER / NOTES: IMPORTANT! There are a number of potential triggers associated with this character. He's got a history of racially-motivated violence, and while he's not going to go committing any hate crimes these days, it is absolutely possible that it could come up as an issue in threads, and Booker is far from a paragon of progressive racial politics to begin with, coming as he does from 1912 and self-identifying as white. He's not joining the KKK, but he may still express some offensive opinions. Furthermore, he is fully able and willing to commit terrible acts of violence when he considers it necessary (usually in self-defense or to protect Elizabeth). As always, if anything I have him say or do in a thread makes you uncomfortable, do not hesitate to let me know. I will always do my very best to respect the boundaries others set up!
