PERMISSIONS (thecity)
PLAYER
NAME: Marion
CONTACT: feel free to PM this account if you need to reach out.
ACTIVE TIMES/PACE: I'm normally available in the late-afternoon/evening as I work a standard 9-5 job. My timezone is EST. I do my best to tag at least once a day, though may do more if the mood strikes me.
BRACKETS/PROSE: I have a preference for brackets but can switch to prose if preferred. However, skill interjections will continue in brackets even with prose as a means of emulating the writing style of the canon.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: None for me personally.

IN CHARACTER
PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Harry is not openly affectionate he doesn't know... when he's sober. When he's drunk it's the complete opposite.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: If attacked he'll attack back, or if he absolutely feels like he has to employ violence he will. He may not look it, but he can do a mid-air spin kick.
RELATIONSHIPS: In terms of romantic, Harry went through a very rough breakup several years ago that he has not moved on from. He is more in the process of moving on following the end of the game, but he is absolutely not ready for another relationship despite what he may think.
In terms of platonic, he can be easy to make friends with at first but has burned a lot of bridges and made many of his relationships toxic as a result of his problems. If people get sick of him in game and want to reject him as a result, I'm open to that! Negative CR is also acceptable for these reasons.
PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: Harry is potentially psychic, in a way that is not fully confirmed but has merit within the game depending on how high certain skills are. This doesn't make him immune to other's psychic powers, but if you read his mind be prepared to hear the voices of 24 Skills chattering away.
MAGICAL INFORMATION: No magic powers, although he may or may not be psychic. Either he's psychic or insane and canon isn't entirely ready to declare which.
MEDICAL INFORMATION: Harry is a late-stage alcoholic and drug addict, in the process of recovering but may be subject to relapse. He has been shot a few times over the years. His physical health is not ideal for a mid-40s man, but he is surprisingly spry and a fast runner.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS:
Disco Elysium deals with subjects related to police violence, bigotry (racism/misogyny/homophobia/xenophobia), suicide attempts/suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, alcoholism and politics. These topics in particular all come up with Harry, the main player controlled character. I will content warn for these subjects when they come up in threads, however if there is anything you want to strictly avoid let me know.
Regarding bigotry in particular: I do not play Harry as an active bigot, but internalized bigotry and toxic masculinity do come up in his thoughts and are an inherent part of his character. The toxic masculinity aspect in particular is important to his character and so I will brush up against it in my writing. I won't bring any topics up related to bigotry by default because my version of the character works to reject these thoughts and question why they even come up in his brain.
OPT-OUT INSTRUCTIONS: If you would like to opt-out of any interactions or potential subjects as mentioned above, please respond to this post and let me know. Also mention all opt-out characters you play. Responses are screened.

OUT OF CHARACTER
BACKTAGGING: I'm ok with backtagging within a month of a thread. Anything after that will be subject to dropping.
THREADHOPPING: Network threads yes, log threads only if discussed/multiple people are in a thread.
FOURTHWALLING: No fourth-walling
NOT INTERESTED IN: I would prefer to not do any shipping at this time because Harry is really just... not in a place to be romantic, period. I'd make an exception for canonmates, especially Harry/Kim, but otherwise it's a no go.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
VISUAL: Harry is going through a very, very rough 40s. He looks much older than he should as a combination of his addictions and commitment to way too much facial hair. He's a little over six feet and tends to wear outrageous and often horrifying clothes inspired by an obsession with disco music. The only time he may come off as even slightly presentable is when wearing his RCM patrol cloak.
AURAL: Harry does not have a canon voice, but it's presumed he speaks with what's called a "Vespertine" accent in canon which is vaguely British sounding. He has a rough voice though not especially deep.
OLFACTORY: Oh boy. Harry has the deep, entrenched smell of an alcoholic on him. You could choose to not drink in game for a whole week and people will still comment on it. There are also faint traces of nicotine mixed in due to a smoking habit. He's been taking frequent baths and showers since becoming an amnesiac, but he still doesn't smell appealing.
DEMEANOUR: Harry carries himself with as much authority as he can muster, which is to say not too much. He can swing from friendly to cringey to off-putting and attempts to act like he's cool but oh he is not. Then there's his eyes - when he's had a few drinks in him or a hit of drugs he absolutely gains *party eyes*.
