PLAYER

CONTACT: PM; [plurk.com profile] balsamandash

ACTIVE TIMES/PACE: Central Time; irregular hours. I have several health issues, and some days I can't tag at all. If I haven't tagged back in a while and you want to make sure I got the tag or am still planning to return it, feel free to poke me.

STYLE: No preference between brackets or prose; prefer present tense, but will match past. I sometimes have trouble keeping up with text threads for long unless they switch to in-person.

OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: No gore in picture prompts, no graphic descriptions of gore in tags; no eye trauma; no insects.


OUT OF CHARACTER

BACKTAGS/SLOWTIME: (there is no "too old")
ASSUMED CR: (pms are open for discussion)
MULTIPLE THREADS:
FAKE GAME SETTING/UNIVERSE CLASHES:

DEFAULT SETTING: Modern-day American city with supernatural abilities, by default something that is openly known, or at least an extremely open secret.


IN CHARACTER

PHYSICAL AFFECTION:
Caleb tends to be touchier with people the more he knows them -- an arm around the shoulders, a pat on the back, a hair ruffle, etc, are pretty likely once he considers somebody a friend, unless they clearly aren't okay with that. He won't react badly to it coming from strangers, but isn't likely to initiate it, except maybe as an attempt to comfort.

PHYSICAL VIOLENCE:
He'll do his best to duck out before it comes to it, so it's not likely to go anywhere.

MINDREADING/PSYCHIC ABILITIES:
No ability to know if someone's in his head. Caleb is more focused and thoughtful than his surface would suggest, though he doesn't take a lot super seriously even in his own head. He's likely tracking the position of any ghosts nearby, and if he's not vocally responding to the spirits around him for some reason, mindreaders might catch mental responses instead. Also he usually has music stuck in his head.

MEDICAL INFORMATION: Well taken care of, probably lives on too much junk food and sweets but generally healthy.

OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: His father was verbally, emotionally, and sometimes physically abusive following the death of his mother; Caleb is unlikely to bring it up out of the blue, but isn't entirely unwilling to discuss it if it comes up naturally, either. Death is a major theme, and ghosts are always around. He believes very strongly in respect towards death as a function of life (individual ghosts can depend on who those people are) and gets annoyed by people who don't, especially if they also have abilities that deal with ghosts. Other than that, he's pretty easy-going.


RELATIONSHIPS

PLATONIC:
He tends to keep friends at arms length, but he's a chill person with genuine interest in other's interests, and likes having friends around. He's also pretty inclined to befriend any spirits hanging around, so feel free to throw dead characters at him!

NEGATIVE:
He's more likely to walk away and try to avoid someone he doesn't like, but down to discuss potential if anyone's interested.

SHIPPING:
He's better at casual hookups than real relationships, and they will come second to what he considers his duty to his brother and to the dead, but he's not against things developing with someone who understands that. He's never really done the serious thing, though, so it'll be a learning curve.


WANT ADS

♪ Ghosts! Give him all the ghosts. Whether it's just to be friendly with, or they have something they'd like him to pass along.

♪ Helping/teaching other mediums who are either developing their powers, or maybe have a more negative connotation to them and have never tried to learn.

♪ Musician buddies.
