OOC PREFERENCES:

•CONTACT METHOD: AIM - afterwits
•THREAD-JACKING: It's fine by me! Kirian, however, will not appreciate it (when does he appreciate anything).
•FOURTH WALLING / CANON PUNCTURE: I'd really rather not fourthwall, please.
•BACKTAGGING: Anything newer than a week is good. Older than that, I've generally lost my train of thought. Ongoing threads for weeks is fine, just not so much about suddenly getting a tag after two weeks.
•AVOIDED TOPICS: I personally don't care for plots that use mental illness or inhumane treatments as a plot device. Handle it respectfully, and I'm fine, I just cannot stand "this guy's totally schizo let's lock him in a padded room lol".
•WARNINGS: Not much except for I guess…medical stuff?

IC CHARACTERISTICS:
•PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Kirian is tall, roughly 6’ 3”, and is rather slight. He used to be a bit more heavily built, but those days are far behind him now, and the heaviest thing he lifts is a book anymore. His hair is light brown with a gold-ish tint to it where the light hits it. He is generally frowning or with a neutral expression on his face, and he has dark circles around his eyes from lack of sleep. He dresses well, in clothes that were clearly made to fit him, but his clothes are generally dark robes with little decoration save for embroidery.

He has no piercings, but he does have tattoos on his arms and legs. They generally look like abstract scrollwork, with runes scattered throughout the designs. These end at his shoulders and tops of his hands, and from his hip to his left foot. Very rarely does anyone see the extent of the tattooing of what remains of his right leg.

He walks with a rather pronounced limp, and uses a cane with a gold tip and a simple gold knob handle. Those paying close attention would note a small catch on the handle of his cane- there is a dagger within it. The shaft is purple-black wood, dubiously acquired and those sensitive to magic would be able to sense it’s been tainted with power, somehow.
•DEMEANOR: Kirian is very brusque and off-putting, sometimes rude when he feels he needs to be, especially to those that know him or are of his race. He is well aware that his attitude pushes people away- it’s carefully constructed to do so. He generally appears aloof, and the more someone attempts to bring him close, the harder he pushes away. He can be cold and calculating, and cruel, when he feels it is necessary, and uses words like one might any other weapon. He enjoys solitude and indulging in his vices, and dislikes people, generally speaking. He can be a terribly practical man when he feels like it.
•ABILITIES: Kirian is a mage, and before that, was a Spellbreaker. He is skilled in arcane magic, but especially in “support” magic- counterspelling, shielding, spellstealing, and the like. He can conjure food and drink (mostly for himself because what is sharing).
•MEDICAL INFORMATION: Kirian is a Blood Elf, meaning his body ages much, much slower than a human’s. He is fairly healthy, all things considered, save for the occasional smoker’s cough.

And he’s missing most of his right leg. He has a prosthesis crafted out of a hard, relatively lightweight tan substance that has designs and runes carved into it. It is enchanted, movement powered by a small arcane core. He suffers chronic pain that is generally worse on some days than others.
•OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Sensitive topics include death, undeath, politics, PHOENIXES AND FIRE MAGIC IN GENERAL, his homeland.

IC PERMISSIONS:
•MENTAL: Fine with it as far as knowing more about him (gaining things that would have been "common knowledge" in Azeroth) and picking up on any train of thought stuff in a tag. Anything else- please ask first.
•MIMICRY: Mimic is okay, but shapeshifting into him and causing problems is something I'd definitely want to plot out first.
•VIOLENCE: With permission and it being plotted out first.
•MAGIC: With permission and it being plotted out first.
•DEBATE: He’ll likely tell you you’re an idiot, but go for it!
•ROMANCE: Kirian doesn’t DO romance. He finds it distasteful.

Mokou here being a high-level fire magic user with a phoenix theme, I'm curious about that line in the "offensive subjects" list.

Hello this is me, just replying with a different character journal.

Phoenixes have a very strong connection to the former Prince of his homeland, someone he trusted nearly blindly and turned out to be, well, not good. He dislikes them. Add to that the fact that a magic user with a pet phoenix tried to burn him alive, he's not very fond of any of it. Eventually, he may come to tolerate them, but he generally finds phoenixes to be disgusting creatures.

I see!

Could make for an interesting CR hook.

I am all for this! :D
