ACTIVE TIMES/PACE: Most active on weekends; I'm in CST/UTC-5. Sadly on the slower end (job, kid, dissertation) but can boomerang if I've got a few hours free.
BRACKETS/PROSE: Either! Tend to default to prose because I do a lot of phone-tagging and it's less HTML intensive.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Pregnancy loss and young child death/serious injury -- fine with mentions, allusions, and even pull-the-camera back scenes of it with ample warning. Cannot handle intense scenes of it or having it sprung on me without warning.

IN CHARACTER
PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Yes!
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Yes!
RELATIONSHIPS: Platonic: absolutely. Romantic: No thank you (though unrequited crushes/interest are 100% canon and welcome).
PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: The Knight has a pretty clear "front stage" and "back stage" to its mind, where whatever it's currently thinking about is easy to get at and everything else is (not entirely metaphorically) a black void of Nothing. Its thoughts are more often pictures, scenarios, and memories than clear words, and it's emotionally quite muted.
Permissions-wise, more than fine with its mind being read. It does not usually put up shields or attempt to avoid mind-reading, rather taking it in stride that there are creatures out there that will read its mind.
MAGICAL INFORMATION: The Knight is a force of Void bound into a physical form; anyone sensitive to magic would be able to sense its inherent nature as a creature of Void or Shadow. It is able to manipulate SOUL (the magic of living, sapient beings) to heal its physical shell or cause damage. It is also the bound wielder of a weapon that allows it to perceive, communicate with, and banish (through fighting) spirits; read minds; and enter and interact with the dreams of others.
MEDICAL INFORMATION: ...It is a ball of living shadow animating a cute little anthropomorphic insect shell with a mouthless, noseless mask for a head. It's real weird.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: None.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Yes!

OUT OF CHARACTER
BACKTAGGING: My bread and butter.
THREADHOPPING: Strong yes for network threads, just run it by me for non-network.
FOURTHWALLING: It will not be the weirdest thing that has happened to the Knight.
NOT INTERESTED IN: NSFW sexual content; gratuitous gore; catty negative CR that's just for the sake of hating on someone versus potential for development.
CONTENT WARNINGS FOR CHARACTER: Hollow Knight is a dark fantasy story set into a decaying kingdom that collapsed due to an infection that turned its insectile citizens into zombies. All the characters are various kinds of more-or-less anthropomorphic arthropods, with much less anthropomorphic arthropods as background fauna. The Knight's story contains themes of child abandonment, eldritch horror, neglect, depersonalization, objectification, mind control, ecological collapse, species extinction, and infection-based zombies.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
VISUAL: The Knight is a small anthropomorphic insect with a featureless white mask for a head. The eyes of the mask are empty sockets. In settings with humans, it is about the size of a small human child -- coming up to mid-thigh on an adult. It wears a tattered gray pocketed cloak containing its kit, and carries a sword that vaguely resembles a carpentry nail.
If broken out of its physical form, it becomes a lightless black shade with all-white eyes and horns that resemble those of its mask. The shade is mostly a wiggly blob of shadow but can manifest limbs or tentacles at need.
AURAL: The Knight is completely mute. If it is struck in its corporeal form, the sounds around it become distorted and quieter -- a inverse scream. In its shade form, it can make an echoing growl.
OLFACTORY: Dust and a strange absence of any living smells. Sometimes the rancid eggs it likes to carry around to feed to Confessor Jiji.
DEMEANOUR: Eerie. Oddly polite. Attentive listener. Tends to doze off if it's sitting down and not actively doing anything. Otherwise holds itself ready for violence.
