orbicularis

(art by ryoko kui)

∞ First Impressions

❱ PRONOUNS: he/him
❱ AGE: 185 (equivalent to about 37, though he may read as younger what with how elves' faces look)
❱ HEIGHT: 5’1”
❱ BUILD: ~~twink~~ slender, though with a bit of muscle
❱ SKIN: very pale with numerous scars
❱ HAIR: wavy silver bob
❱ EYES: black
❱ VOICE: slightly deeper than his appearance may suggest; usually quiet and raspy, like it's taking all his energy to say words
❱ NOTES: Mithrun's right eye is a prosthetic (and may not be present, depending on canon point), and his ears, originally long and pointed, have been cut off at about the halfway point. This may not be immediately visible, since his hair covers them much of the time. He also has pretty much permanent dark circles under his eyes.

❱ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: That’s fine, he doesn’t mind.
❱ HUGGING: That’s also fine, he doesn’t mind.
❱ FLIRTING: That’s fine. He doesn’t mind. You might notice a pattern here.
❱ RELATIONSHIPS: THAT'S... COMPLICATED. He won't be put off if someone is interested, but he also can’t really want a relationship, which may make pursuing one a bad idea!
❱ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Yeah that's also fine. Mithrun is a very proficient fighter and uses teleportation magic in combat, so if this comes up let me know so we can work out how you're comfortable with that being used! He’s unlikely to do anything REAL nasty with it outside of particular circumstances, but better safe than sorry.
❱ KILLING: I'll need that planned out ahead of time, but sure!
❱ PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: Looking into Mithrun's brain may reveal that he just... doesn't want things! This includes basic necessities like food and sleep. He's incapable of it, aside from one very specific thing that is the only reason he keeps himself alive. If you need further details/specific information, let me know!
❱ MAGICAL INFORMATION: Mithrun uses teleportation magic that allows him to instantly transport himself and/or living things or objects he makes physical contact with to another location; when he does this, whatever matter is displaced in the process will take the place (and shape) of whatever was teleported (for example, if he teleports a person into a stone wall with their head sticking out, the displaced stone will appear in their place and in their shape - minus the head). He cannot do this if too much of his body is in contact with a wide surface area (e.g, while pinned against a wall), and he has limited mana and will collapse if he uses too much.
❱ MEDICAL INFORMATION: As mentioned above, Mithrun is missing his right eye; he is also very often at least somewhat dehydrated/malnourished/sleep deprived, depending on whether or not he’s been sticking to his keeping-himself-alive routine.
❱ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: The main thing is he’s got some SERIOUS beef with the demon who made him The Way He Is. This can sometimes bleed into how he responds to things like certain forms of magic-based manipulation of his perceptions, or being physically handled by someone too much larger than himself (we're talking big enough to pick him up in one hand).

❱ BACKTAGGING: Go for it! I’ll backtag basically forever; if I drop a thread prematurely, it’s most likely because i just ended up with too many and had to cut back.
❱ THREADHOPPING: With permission! I'm usually fine with it.
❱ FOURTHWALLING: Ask first.
❱ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: I can handle most things, aside from sudden/violent pet death.
❱ ANYTHING ELSE? While Mithrun isn’t as vitriolically Fantasy Racist and as some elves from his setting (anymore), he... sure was still raised in a Fantasy Racist society, and some of that may show through. The society he grew up in is also quite ableist, which these days is most often relevant with Mithrun in terms of internalized ableism. In addition, his backstory involves manipulation, physical mutilation, themes/imagery heavily evoking intimate partner abuse and sexual assault, self-harm, and massive lore spoilers; there are also elements of his character involving substance abuse and suicidality.

Most of these topics aren't going to come up outside of specific contexts, and if I don't already know a given player is cool with them coming up, I will ask first! That said, just give me a heads up if you need to avoid anything, or would like to opt out of the Mithrun Experience entirely.
