out of character


✥ PLAYER: sel / mii
✥ PREFERRED CONTACT: i'm fine with DM to the journal, plurk (iothe) or on the game discord!
✥ BACKTAGGING: always.
✥ THREADJACKING: ok for the most part, particularly on plot posts where threadjacking is encouraged.
✥ FOURTH-WALLING: no, thanks.
✥ ACTION vs PROSE: preference for action, but can do prose!
✥ DEAL-BREAKER SCENARIOS: none that i can think of, but i'll update this if i think of any
✥ YOU'D SACRIFICE A VIRGIN FOR: people who honest-to-goodness do not see through natasha's exceptional acting skills; she's a super spy for a reason, folks!
✥ ANYTHING ELSE? here for a good time, not a long time #rip


in character

✥ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE LIMITS: wreck her — no concerns here
✥ OPEN TO MANIPULATION? yes, though be warned that as a spy natasha is exceptionally wary and constantly on guard to manipulation under normal means. what that means for plotting purposes is let's chat about it!
✥ ...AND MIND CONTROL? yes, with prior discussion
✥ WHAT KIND OF MENTAL PRESENCE DO THEY HAVE: serious, guarded, likely with some kind of blocks (though they're more in theory than anything real - people can read her mind, etc.) if your character perceives mental presences as something more visual, they can grab flashes of girls dancing ballet, the sensation of sparring, and the weight of a knife in their hand. smells might include fresh-falling snow, petrichor, expensive perfume with floral notes.
✥ ...AND MAGICAL?
✥ RELATIONSHIPS: #it's complicated, that's what happens when you're dead back home. that said, the stakes seem lower for natasha because she's dead back home; she'll approach relationships with caution, leveraging her considerable experience as a spy and assassin to be whoever it is they want her to be until she's determined they can be trusted. trust will likely be easier with fellow travelers, though never easy.
✥ WHAT PUSHES THEIR BUTTONS: black and white thinking, lack of nuance, ultimatums, being forced into a corner.
✥ WARNINGS ON THEIR LABEL: child abuse, medicalization, brain washing and manipulation, forced sterilization. i try not to drop any of this in threads without warning and do not discuss in depth unless warned — but it may come up in her introspection.
