[androidvictoriam]

⇓nutshell⇓

A somewhat brainwashed but well-intentioned soldier from the post-apocalyptic ruins of Boston, dealing with the recent revelation that he's the same kind of android (or "synth") that his cultlike paramilitary organization has sworn to eradicate. Underneath his gruff martial exterior, he's earnestly romantic.

⇓at a glance⇓

AGE: Hard to say, and he doesn't actually know, having been created full-grown in a lab and then mindwiped. Appears to be somewhere in his late thirties. Is probably, chronologically speaking, closer to twenty.

HEIGHT: 6'2", outside of his power armor.

BUILD: Absolute brick shithouse.

HAIR: Straight, black, voluminous, and usually swept back in a modest pompadour.

EYES: Clear medium brown with a hint of hazel.

VOICE: A deep, rumbling baritone, pleasant when he's speaking quietly but harsh and strident when he shouts.

DEMEANOR: Extremely military at all times, without exception. Battle cries are his pillow talk. Literally. Ad victoriam, baby.

⇓in character⇓

PHYSICAL AFFECTION: He'll allow it, and possibly even gingerly return it if he likes you and/or you seem emotionally fragile. If he really doesn't like you, you'll get a stern warning first and a rifle butt to the stomach thereafter.

PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Anything short of causing permanent disfigurement is fine. He's very well-trained in combat and he loves a fight.

ROMANCE/FLIRTING: Flirting from anyone is fine! He's likely to be bewildered and awkward about it, but may be more bluntly unwelcoming if your character is visibly non-human.

SEXUAL CONTENT: Open to it with men and women 21+, though smut may take some CR development or assumed CR first.

PSYCHIC ABILITIES: I'm cool with having them used on him, but he will be angry about it.

Depending on the nature of a character's psychic abilities, they may be able to detect the synth component in his brain, which makes him vulnerable to being "factory reset" by those who know a certain code phrase.

MAGIC/POWERS: Also fine with having these used on him. They'll freak him the hell out.

OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS OR TRIGGERS:

He's a little touchy about jokes or teasing about his synthetic nature--he's fine calling himself a machine as a sort of coping mechanism, but if anyone else does, it's going to hurt his feelings. However, this is something he can come to be okay with and eventually find funny, because humor about it helps him process it.

Despite his canonical PTSD diagnosis, he doesn't really have triggers that need to be avoided in threads.

SHIPPING: I'd love to toss ideas around with any other Fallout characters, companion or protagonist, and anyone from a similar post-apocalypse genre, in particular.

For crosscanon on memes, if you'd rather not AU your character into the Falloutverse and I don't know enough to AU Danse into yours, I'm always happy to assume a generic jamjar game setting or an isekai situation.

I love to ship him with nerds, because he has such a habit of gushing about the scholars and historians he works with, but he'll be a little warier of hard STEM types given his background and thoughts on the type of mad science that created him--though that wariness can be the start of a good ship dynamic in and of itself.

Fellow military types are also A+, and the only dynamic I envision having trouble with is the extremely anti-authoritarian type who would challenge all of his deeply held beliefs right off the bat.

⇓out of character⇓

BACKTAGGING: Yes

FOURTH WALLING: No

THREADHOPPING: Yes

CROSS-MEDIUM: Yes, but prefer to keep things generally matched in tone--Fallout is on the sillier side as post-apocalyptic canons go, but I'd rather a thread lean more serious than more wacky or fluffy unless it's a crack prompt

CONTENT I WOULD LIKE WARNINGS FOR : Sexual or domestic violence; detailed descriptions of death in hospital settings
