and it's always so we live under the burnt clouds

PLAYER

NAME: Dem
CONTACT: PM or jigglyballs
ACTIVE TIMES/PACE: medium to slow depending on ~life~
BRACKETS/PROSE: will match you!
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: can handle most things in text tbh but appreciate warnings for terminal illness, eye gore or teeth removal!

OUT OF CHARACTER

BACKTAGGING: yes! memes and psls can go on forever, though for games I would prefer to thread or discuss/handwave a conclusion to plot-relevant interactions within a month or two.
THREADHOPPING: please ask if it's a serious thread/read the room, but generally yes!
FOURTHWALLING: ok if it's IC for the character, but he probably won't believe it.
NOT INTERESTED IN: trolling that goes nowhere, attempts at humiliating him for no reason.
CONTENT WARNINGS: I don't expect it coming up in great detail, but Levi does tend to accidentally traumadump sometimes without realizing it. His backstory features things like prostitution and human trafficking, slums/extreme poverty, serial killers, child neglect, theft, gangs, exploitation and overall misery. AoT in general is generous on graphic gore, and it deals with or touches on plenty of disturbing topics including war, war crimes, militarism, child soldiers, fictional racism/eugenics, genocide/omnicide, cannibalism (sort of), suicide/suicidal ideation, classism, and more.

You may opt out of interacting with Levi for any reason here.

IN CHARACTER

PHYSICAL AFFECTION: he'll be uncomfortable but i don't mind!
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: sure! depending on circumstances he might shrug it off or react violently in return. do please note that he is extremely capable in combat (for a human) and i don't want to play it down without a good reason, however he's also hard to provoke and is generally unlikely to get dragged into a serious fight over unimportant things. for serious battle scenes i would prefer to plot a bit beforehand so we both know what we want from it. i'm also good to use RNG if the characters are roughly evenly matched. (teaming up to fight a third party/NPC monsters is always fine and doesn't need to be pre-plotted!) silly/petty fights with some mutual exchanged blows are generally fine too, we love rule of fun in this house. talk to me if in doubt!
RELATIONSHIPS: tentative maybe, but it will take work! See SHIPPING section for more.
PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: extremely sturdy mentally and stoic on the outside, feels a lot and strongly on the inside. able to make difficult decisions and compartmentalize. naturally resistant to mental manipulation. may on occasion traumadump with a straight face about things he thinks are normal.
MAGICAL INFORMATION: warrior clan bloodline that essentially gives him a stat increase in strength and speed, superhuman reflexes and heightened battle intuition.
MEDICAL INFORMATION: suffers from insomnia. easily noticeable dark circles under his eyes. sleeps 2-3 hours a night and even those he spends in a chair without changing out of his clothes most of the time. he's packed with dense muscle despite his relatively petite form, and is therefore heavier than he might look at a glance. depending on canonpoint, he's either otherwise in peak physical shape, OR has several debilitating injuries (scarred and blind on right side, missing index and middle fingers on right side, busted left knee - however that's effectively mitigated by using hinged knee braces and/or canes). headcanon: due to living most of his life under ground, his eyes are somewhat sensitive to bright sunlight and he tends to catch respiratory illnesses a little easier than the average person, though he usually recovers quickly.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: most forms of exploitation, child abuse or starvation, rot and mold, extensive amounts of dirt, germs, bad smells.

SHIPPING

MOST INTERESTED IN: Erwin, Hange, Farlan
YES GOOD: Miche, Onyankopon, crosscanon/crossmedium if the chemistry feels right!
DON'T REALLY SHIP IT BUT IT'S FUNNY AND RP COULD CHANGE MY MIND SO FUNCTIONALLY MAYBE: Zeke 💀
EHH NAH: Not looking to ship with the cadets. Familial/gen CR is the default here, though I might make an exception for AUs where he's younger or they're older or both and/or their canon hierarchy is removed. Also I'm kind of weak for Mikasa so there is that 💀
NO: Any of his actual (alleged) adopted children (Isabel, Gabi, Falco) or direct family (Kenny, Kuchel). All are more than welcome for gen CR of course.

AGE RESTRICTIONS: I prefer shipping with characters around his age (30s), or older. Depending on character maturity levels, younger characters (20s) might work too, but it's a hard no for underage/teens (unless it's an AU and he's also one of them ig). Feel free to ask if unsure.
FLUFF/SMUT: good with either/both! (Exception: kid/younger teen AUs default to fluff only.)
NSFW/FTB: good with either!

KINKLIST: see here.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

VISUAL: short (160cm = 5'2-5'3), grumpy, immaculately clean, looks like he hasn't slept properly in years. black hair styled in an undercut curtain, grey eyes, pale complexion. might be mistaken for a teenager at a distance, but at a closer look it's clear enough that he's at least in his 30s - he's got some lines around his eyes and a defined musculature. he's, like, a petite brick shithouse. clothes always clean, nice and in order. often in uniform though will also wear nice suits or casual clothes when off duty.
AURAL: usually quiet, mild, almost tired sounding, firm but somewhat mellow. he speaks without much inflection, making it hard to tell what he's feeling. he'll raise his voice if he deems it necessary, but it tends to maintain the same monotonic quality unless he's outright yelling.
OLFACTORY: fresh soap, clean linen and tea; hint of citrus.
DEMEANOUR: he's cranky, measured, stoic, and often high-strung. he tends to speak in short, clear sentences and often comes off as rude, flippant or awkward. he'll normally keep his distance and expect his personal bubble to be respected.
