OPT OUT?
If you prefer that I not tag your characters (no explanation required, though if it's a fixable issue, I encourage you to use my public HMD post) please drop me a comment on this post and include your character journal(s), please.

All comments are screened.
OUT OF CHARACTER
🔺 BACKTAGGING Yes - I generally backtag for a long time if the thread has a set direction/is pre-planned. Contact me if you want to handwave or wrap something up!

🔺 THREADJACKING Yes, on network posts so long as they aren't marked "private".

🔺 FOURTHWALLING As the Bogeyman or any culture-specific personification of fear, definitely! It is this type of belief that sustains beings like Pitch. Of the ROTG movie and/or Guardians bookverse, no.

🔺 OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS None for me re: coming up in a thread, just use typical content warnings.




IN CHARACTER
🔺 MIND READING Very unlikely to be successful, but I'm open to ideas.

🔺 PHYSICAL CONTACT He will hate it, do so at your own peril.

🔺 FLIRTING/SHIPPING You can but don't expect him to reciprocate.

🔺 FIGHTING/INJURY/DEATH Pitch is a skilled warrior whose preternatural abilities make him a particularly unusual foe to fight, and he will retaliate if threatened. Although normally his kind are very difficult to kill, relevant game mechanics will always take precedence.

🔺 CANON ORIGIN I play Pitch Black from the movie events, but his books origin and backstory are used to round out the character portrayal. Expect a mix of both media elements when tagging.

🔺 OTHER Pitch's canon backstory contains elements of galactic war, child loss/child abandonment, corruption and death of innocents, unnatural perception of negative character elements, and extreme instances of manipulation. Please tag with the character accordingly and please do communicate OOCly with me as needed.

4TH WALLING: THIS ONE IS KIND OF WEIRD BUT IMPORTANT:

In the Guardians universe, a large part of their existence is based on belief IN them and a lot of them, like Pitch, have gone by many names and have been around for hundreds or thousands of years. So if your character has heard of stories of the Boogeyman or any cultural equivalent through stories or legend or hell, even a really bad B-movie slasher flick, that's all right to mention and he might even be pleased.

The only 4th-walling I want to AVOID is, "oh you're that character from kids books series / that 2012 movie that came out".

Threadjacking/threadhopping?: As long as it isn't a SRS BSNS thread, sure!
Backtagging: Hell yes. For weeks. Or months.
Fighting/maiming?: Pitch can definitely hold his own in combat (he walks tall and carries a big ass scythe) but I'm good with anything planned out in advance. He also doesn't injure like normal people since he's not 100% physical but as a related note, he's weak to sunlight or extremely bright artificial lights.
Death?: Plot first~
Kissing/hugging/badtouching/etc?: You might end up with Fearlings eating your entrails?
Relationships: M....aybe...?

SPOILER PERMISSIONS: If you haven't seen Rise of the Guardians OR read the Guardians of Childhood novels (re: mainly Pitch's backstory) and wish me to avoid MAJOR spoilers when threading with you, please note it on this post!

Canon Permissions - IMPORTANT! )
