Taako

Got an issue with how I play Taako? Got a question about him? Wanna tell me how great a job I'm hopefully doing? (Please tell me I'm doing a great job.) Leave a comment here, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

ALSO, AN IMPORTANT NOTE: Taako is capable of reading minds, and of taking control of a person's body, as well as using Charm Person, which is, effectively, temporary mind control. If you want to ensure he never attempts any of the above on your character, please leave a comment here.

... alternately, if you particularly do want him to do any of the above to your character, opt in here and maybe we can work something out!



CHARACTER NAME: Taako
CHARACTER SERIES: The Adventure Zone

[OOC]

Backtagging: Always! I'll backtag forever, as long as we need to get stuff done.
Threadhopping: Go for it!
Fourthwalling: Hmm. Ask me first, I guess! How he'll handle it depends hugely on context.
Offensive subjects (elaborate): The only subject that really upsets me is suffering being inflicted on animals; outside of that, I'm pretty hard to upset. If you're not sure about a subject, please feel free to ask before you start discussing it with me, but, as said... pretty hard to bug me!

[IC]

Hugging this character: Go for it! He acts pretty aloof, but he'll generally enjoy it, whether he admits it or not.
Kissing this character: See above. I mean, depending on who you are, he might be confused as all hell, but he'll enjoy it anyway.
Flirting with this character: If you're a guy, absolutely. Women, he'll be... awkward about it, given he's super gay. He enjoys flirting with dudes, though, even just idly, for his own entertainment.
Fighting with this character: It's kind of inevitable, given he's a shithead, but be prepared for him to be surprisingly powerful once you get him going. He's literally capable of disintegrating you if he wants to, so, uh... yeah.
Injuring this character (include limits and severity): Absolutely. I honestly love writing bad things happening to him, whoops. I, uh, am totally into gore, so feel free to get as severe and explicit with violence towards Taako as you want.
Killing this character: See above, except for in Lost Carnival, in which case N O P E. Outside of LC, though, I'm totally up for killing him off.
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Go for it, although he's magically sensitive and may realize what you're doing. Then again, he may not. If you do read his mind, though, please message me first, because there is a unique situation going on with his memories that we'll need to address!

Warnings: Taako has a bit of a pottymouth, and he can also be very blunt at times, mostly because he just honestly does not care; if your character is sensitive to that kind of thing, maybe be careful around him. He's also a liar and a thief, and the combination of those traits means that, if he thinks your character can get him something he wants, he's very likely to try and say all the right things to get what he wants out of them. He's also totally fine using violence against people, and entirely willing to, although he's also lazy enough and cautious enough that he tends to avoid it unless he's sure he can win the resulting altercation (or someone else attacks him first.)
