the unseen world, the inner bell

IN CHARACTER

PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Isn't likely to initiate touch without significant CR, even if he craves it. Will probably recoil if he doesn't know you at all, but will inevitably turn into a barnacle if you're close enough.
FLIRTING: Go ahead! Chances are he'll either ignore it or get flustered.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: He's gotten into enough fights in his younger years to know how to defend himself and pull his own punches, but he'd much rather avoid violence altogether now that he's grown out of his angry phase.
RELATIONSHIPS: Desperately seeks connections, but he's never really managed to get close enough to anyone to find that one person he would feel completely at ease with. He's a romantic at heart and it kind of sucks when you haven't mastered how to people properly.
SEX: Same as above, though he's been known to have the occasional one-night stand to scratch an itch. He regrets it every time.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: He doesn't particularly like to talk about his parents or the dead in general, but it doesn't necessarily trigger him anymore. He's just. Tired. Also, he doesn't respond well to betrayals, condescension/pity, being mocked/dismissed and to trivializations of his mediumship. Gore sometimes triggers panic attacks.

OUT OF CHARACTER

BACKTAGGING: On memes, I'll keep tagging texty threads for a few days, but I'll backtag action threads as long as there's interest. In games, it really depends on both parties and how fast the plot moves. In PSLs, I'll backtag pretty much forever. Also, blanket apology for being extra slow at times. Aside from work getting in the way, I'm also audhd-cursed, so don't hesitate to nudge if it's been a while; just know that I'm not ignoring you on purpose.
THREADHOPPING: Go ahead!
FOURTHWALLING: Ask first, but yeah!
BRACKETS/PROSE: I prefer brackets for reasons I ignore, but I'll match!
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: None that I can think of!
FAVES: Hurt/Comfort, scenes that lead to character growth, bffs to lovers, enemies to lovers, angst and fluff, anything that involves FEELS, horror settings, mysterious vibes, fantasy in general (of the dark kind especially), paranormal stuff obviously, emotional struggles with happy endings, etc.
SHIPPING: Yes! Slow-burns necessary.
SMUT: Same as above!

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

VISUAL: Lean but defined frame, dark hair, blue eyes that might seem slightly unfocused or looking past you. Dresses for function in casual, unfussy clothes that might look a bit worn or rumpled. A faint scar near the temple might be noticeable.
AURAL: Voice tends to be quiet, low-pitched. Might sound hesitant when engaged unexpectedly, or somewhat flat/monotone when being blunt. Not overly expressive except when he's particularly relaxed, interested in a subject, or with someone he's close to.
OLFACTORY: Nothing particularly strong; maybe faint, neutral scents like soap, laundry detergent, or the outside air. Unlikely to wear cologne.
DEMEANOUR: Reserved, introverted. Socially awkward; unlikely to initiate small talk and might seem distracted or jumpy. Can come across as intense or withdrawn, not immediately approachable but not hostile.
