PREFERENCES
player: kerryPREFERENCES
preferred contact: pm
tagging: gmt -- try to tag once per day, happy for action or prose
backtagging: I am absolutely okay with this! Life gets us all, things come first. I will keep tagging things/plot a resolution with you as needed.
threadhopping: If it makes sense! Networks I'm more likely to say just go for but for logs let me know if you'd like to just in case it alters any plans.
fourthwalling: Preferably not!
offensive subjects: None
fighting/injuries/death: Okay with me! Zelda is far from aggressive but she has a whole host of both defensive magic and battle magic and the capability (and will) to cast it should she ever do so. She can also be harmed and killed by both magic and regular weapons. Let's get plotty!
telepathy/psychic abilities: Magicians are trained in the use of psychic wards to prevent those with a psychic discipline from being able to read their minds. Zelda has incredibly strong psychic wards making her mind incredibly difficult to read unless something's power is stronger than hers. I'm happy to plot things that would disrupt her wards or with others of power but generally, it'd be difficult to read her mind.
mental state: Whilst Zelda has a fair amount of trauma and bad shit(tm) in her past she's both incredibly old and has compartmentalized it enough that it doesn't affect her on a day-to-day basis. She presents herself as a rather bubbly and gentle person, something that she truly is (unless you get on her bad side). Her conversation is also typically light, a little formal and whilst she has had troubling past experiences she doesn't bring them up unless it's to relate to someone else's similar struggles.
physical affection: Zelda is not immediately overly physical, keeping herself very much to herself unless she is fond of you or trusting. She doesn't mind being hugged and will accept and return them, though won't randomly initiate them.
MAGIC
Zelda is a very powerful and skilled magician, known as a master magician in her world. She is far older than she looks, has read a lot of books (both magical and non-magical) and has honed her power and skill over time. Whilst Zelda is powerful she doesn't show off, preferring to keep the showboating to a minimum and causing others to actually underestimate her capabilities. It isn't something that she reaches for immediately, preferring to live day-to-day and use magic only when she needs it.CONTENT WARNING
Whilst Zelda is powerful she is also not the most powerful being in her world and can be bested both by magical and non-magical combat. There are also limitations to her skill based on her discipline and capabilities -- whilst she may be able to utilise certain psychic spells she is not innately psychic, thus limiting what she is able to perform.
No magic will be cast against a character without being asked first -- whilst magic may be used in a thread it will always be something general and not affecting another character without permission first. I am also very happy for Zelda's magic to fail, as casting requires specific circumstances in their world.
GENERAL
The Magicians as a canon deals with some incredibly dark and triggering content, including rape, murder, slavery, torture, addiction etc. Whilst not all of this is featured in Zelda's history, her story does involve substance abuse and escapism, family issues, manipulation, murder by proxy to name a few. The darker content I will keep out of tags, discuss if it will by chance come up but you can also always leave a comment to let me know if there are topics you'd prefer to avoid or to avoid Zelda entirely.
