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 will occasionally post to texting memes, but tend to 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 time period; any large American city, with some wiggle room on 'large'; any kind of world where the supernatural stuff has some masquerade aspect for demigod variant, or mundane world for criminal variant.


IN CHARACTER

VISUAL: PB reference. Those he's making deals with or who can see through glamors or veils will see the glowing tattoos that wrap up both arms from shoulder to palm, pairs of twisting lines that abstractly resemble chains.

PHYSICAL AFFECTION:
It will be welcome from people he likes or people he's doing deals with; might be side-eyed from strangers, but he's unlikely to lash out in response unless they've otherwise seemed to be a threat.

PHYSICAL VIOLENCE:
Feel free, but he is very well-trained in hand-to-hand fighting and extremely dangerous in both variants. The demigod is also stronger and faster than a normal human would be, as well as having supernatural amounts of luck on his side when in his bar thanks to his mother.

MINDREADING/PSYCHIC ABILITIES:
While psychics are free to try and read his mind, he most likely will be able to tell someone is doing so. However, he's more likely to hide specific information -- particularly related to any deals ongoing -- than kick them out entirely. He's a focused person and usually has a very long to-do list running in the back of his head. (Human variant has no blocks or way to know, and it's about 50-50 whether he's thinking about something incriminating for either him or someone he's friends with at any given time.)

OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Billy runs a bar with a lot of criminals in both variants, and a lot of desperate people in his main verse, so a lot of violence and difficult things pass through, but his own backstory doesn't contain many triggers. He is protective of his bar, of certain people, and of his deals and those he makes them with, and will not be happy with people screwing around with any of those things; his responses are fairly reasonable, but he also does not take people's shit and will kick them out and/or fight them if he feels it's necessary.


RELATIONSHIPS

PLATONIC:
Both the demigod and mundane version of Billy find it very useful to keep a wide network of connections on hand, for slightly different reasons, so he attempts to befriend people widely and easily. Closer friends are a little bit farther and fewer between, but he's not super closed off to the possibility either, especially to somebody he doesn't have to hide his secret (whether that's supernatural or mundane) from.

NEGATIVE:
While with most people he'll try to be polite if it's a simple issue of not liking them, Billy doesn't take people's shit easily, and in both variants is in a position where people may think they can take advantage of him and will find he's not putting up with it. Making enemies is not out of the question.

SHIPPING:
All genders welcome, but may require some buildup; he's a busy and very focused man, and doesn't date often or easily. He has a rule against dating people he's dealt with as a demigod, or regulars who do business in the bar in the mundane variant, but that rule comes from having done so and having it go badly before, and he could end up breaking it if he fell hard enough.

BUSINESS:
Always welcome to assume-CR people into working at the bar, regularly helping him with his less public business, being someone he's dealt with, etc.


IDEAS AND WANTS

🠚 Please let him adopt your desperate people. He's pretty hands-off, more of a guiding voice that will gently shake his head at your issues or antics but always make sure you have somewhere safe to come back to than someone who will really dig in and try to solve your problems, but both variants have a soft spot for trainwrecks and will open his doors for them willingly.

🠚 A more specific version of the above: Temporary (or "temporary") housemates. It's not unusual for him to literally open his doors for someone who needs it, and I love the domestic stuff.

🠚 Long-term relationships (platonic or romantic) with other long-lived/immortal beings, coming in and out of each other's lives. I'm happy to handwave or go back and play out earlier things.

🠚 Employee relationships, relationships with people he's helped in the past; again, happy to handwave, or to play from the beginning.

🠚 Getting in over his head, whether on his own behalf or someone else's. I'm here for people to play a helping hand or the antagonistic side of this, I just feel like it could be fun.

🠚 Antagonistic (or antagonistic-to-friendly) relationships with suspicious types, whether of the "I suspect you're into shady criminal things and will prove it" mundane type, suspicious skeptics realizing something's weird, or people who don't trust his motives for helping.
