💫 style I default to brackets but I'm just as fine with prose and will match your preferred style!

💫 speed My speed fluctuates depending on RL factors, but I generally run on the slower side, and tags can take me anywhere from a few days to a week to get back to.

💫 contact PM / [plurk.com profile] horreur / hagfishs @ discord

💫 friending You're welcome to add me on discord or plurk, though I do routinely trim my plurk friends list to those I'm in games with or writing with otherwise. It's never meant personally, and anyone is free to re-add me if our paths cross again!

💫 backtagging 100% cool with this! I run on the slower side, especially through the week. Backtags are a must for me and I will gladly backtag into infinity. But if you feel something's getting too stale, I never mind dropping or handwaving details as preferred in order to move on to the next scene, etc.

💫 fourthwalling If the opportunity ever did arise for some reason, I'm cool with it, although anything too zany might require some discussion in advance. Konstantin's life is so wild now that he'd probably take it better than some.... "this might as well happen"

💫 threadhopping If all parties involved are cool with it, I don't mind at all.

💫 limits n/a; I'm fine with any amount of horror / gore / etc. and there's not much else I won't write. That said, I'm always glad to hash out limits you might have to make sure everyone's comfortable.
in-character
💫 physical contact / affection All good oocly, but his ic reactions will be situational. Typically, he's amiable and openly affectionate in general, but prone to shirking back somewhat if people start getting too close afterwards, given his current alien situation.

💫 romance / flirting / sexual content I'm definitely open to exploring things like this (and all of the inevitable angsts involved, etc.) He'd be Extremely Nervous to the thought of anything serious (not just due to his Alien Situation but also because of his commitment-phobic ass) and it would inevitably take a lot of time and care. On the surface-level, Kostya can be a friendly flirt just in general — often as a way of interacting with people and even a part of his public image and role (he's regarded as a Hero of the people, he's a commander and a cosmonaut, The Ideal Man TM in his culture, etc.) but it's also something of a defensive mechanism for him as well and he tends to default to a flirtatious, charming persona when in a new environment. He's also prone to utilising his charm to his advantage, when needed... and Being Objectified is part of his role, so he's always very happy for that...

💫 physical violence This is totally fine, with some discussion likely needed for anything too intense. The alien attached to Konstantin does have the ability to regenerate and heal his body quite rapidly, but only when it's inside of him, so if it were forcibly kept outside of his body, he could be in trouble. As their relationship is symbiotic, injuring one will also harm the other. It's also worth noting that while the alien itself can withstand some damage and is capable of dealing out some pretty heavy harm of its own, it could actually be quite easy to injure. It's a squishy slimy thing made for quick, easy kills, not prolonged combat. Something to note is that its body is also extremely sensitive to things like bright lights, loud sounds, and other intense stimuli, which can cause it agitation and even pain. It's also much weaker in sunlight, needing damp, dark conditions.

💫 use of powers All good! Characters who have any capacity to sense what's going on with him are also certainly welcome to do so. The alien is a literal organism that lives inside of his guts, so if someone could sense that,,,, go right ahead,,,,
