Permissions

Are you looking for his Folkmore or Neon Requiem permissions? I also have a preferences post that includes potential ideas for CR.


[OOC]
Backtagging: Yes, always. I'm happy to backtag but I also understand if you'd rather drop older threads to start new ones. If you'd like to continue a previously dropped thread with me, feel free to let me know.
Threadhopping: Yes, if all players are okay with it and it isn't a private thread.
Fourthwalling: Probably not, I generally prefer to avoid it. Ask first.

If the Blade Runner movies and/or Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? novel they're based on exist as fiction within your character's canon, I'm okay with your character being aware of them. Just please don't have them inform K he's a fictional character or treat him as though he's "posing" as one, I'm not interested in that kind of fourth wall breaking. K has enough existential crises to deal with. I'm not really into face-twinning or mistaken identities in that vein and would prefer the characters are treated as though they look and behave recognisably different. Anything else? Feel free to ask about it.

Offensive subjects (elaborate): Clearly label any sensitive/triggering or NSFW content and we'll be good. I prefer to avoid overly graphic descriptions of gore, graphic descriptions of non-consensual sexual violence, intentional misgendering, and animal abuse.

[IC]
Physical affection with this character: Yes. He'll likely be confused and highly suspicious if he has no prior CR with your character. Don't expect him to reciprocate unless he's very comfortable with your character.
Flirting/romance with this character: Yes. See above. If he's already in a relationship, he's unlikely to reciprocate interest from anyone else — he's naturally inclined toward monogamy. He needs a strong emotional connection with someone before he's comfortable engaging in anything sexual with them; no gender preference. He's also very much a romantic at heart. Please note I'm not comfortable playing out cheating storylines or infidelity in established relationships.
Fighting with this character: Yes. Be aware he has superhuman reflexes, strength, agility, endurance, perceptive abilities, etc. He's a Nexus-9 android optimised for combat and police work and contrary to his outward lean size, he's as resilient as any of the older, far more bulky combat specialist models.
Injuring this character (include limits and severity): Yes, but let's discuss it first. He heals at an accelerated rate compared to humans, and can shrug off some pretty grievous injuries within days. It takes considerable damage to slow him down.
Killing this character: Maybe — ask first, and we'll need to discuss how it goes down.
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Maybe — ask first before using them on him. He's an android and characters possessing psychic abilities will be able to tell that his mind isn't like a human's. The majority of his memories are false implants and he's aware of this fact. He's been (literally) programmed and heavily conditioned; Nexus-9 models are renowned for their absolute obedience*.

(*This doesn't mean he's compelled to obey every human he comes into contact with, it's restricted to his assigned superior officer/owner/handler within the LAPD, Lieutenant Joshi, in canon. In the case of AUs, this obedience will be reserved for anyone he recognises as his superior officer/owner/handler. In canon he's shown to be capable of lying by omission and acting contrary to the wishes of his handler, all without actually disobeying his direct orders as he understands them; when operating as intended, though, he's compelled to be more obedient.)

Warnings: The Blade Runner universe involves themes of android enslavement and fantasy racism. Androids are literally created to be slave labour used for the work deemed too dangerous or unfit for humans, including sex work. These topics may come up in the narrative and dialogue when interacting with K. If you'd like to opt out of any of this, please tell me.

Other: Maybe worth mentioning I'm ESL, and apologise in advance for any English errors. I'm happy to accommodate other players, so feel free to talk to me if there's anything in particular you want to play out. I'm open to interacting with characters from any medium, OCs, and I love AUs of all kinds. I'm cool with assumed CR as long as we discuss it first. There are some things I won't play, mainly along the lines of what I mentioned above in "offensive subjects". If you'd like to drop a thread with me, I'd appreciate a heads up so we can agree on a handwaved conclusion if it's needed (especially in games). If for any reason you don't want me to tag you, please let me know.
