discedo. Any and all IC posts will be for that game and that game only.
Abilities: Nothing superpowered! As a hospital administrator she's (usually) professional and level-headed, skilled at dealing with people, and a good negotiator.
Loss: Her medical knowledge.
Personality: At first glance, it's easy to see Cuddy as a hard, merciless "ice woman" who cares for nothing but her job. There are times when she even seems to be trying to perpetuate this idea herself, though she nearly always has a purpose in mind. In fact, as an accomplished woman who has worked extremely hard to get where she is, nearly everything she does has a purpose-- though under certain very specific circumstances, she's been shown to not necessarily be above the occasional petty power-play. Still, Cuddy is first and foremost a professional, and she takes her job as doctor and hospital administrator very seriously.
Despite her somewhat domineering personality, Cuddy does have a big heart, and will fight tooth and nail for the people and things that are important to her-- with this, however, often comes a strong sense of personal guilt when things go wrong. She can be a bit of a perfectionist, and-- according to House-- tends to not notice the huge difference between what the world is, and what it could be. She has a strong drive to succeed, and has always been a high achiever. Due to this, she is very confident in nearly all aspects of her professional life, but somewhat less sure of herself when it comes to personal matters-- such as her ability to be a good mother. She likes children, but after multiple attempts at having her own, she finally decided to stop trying after the emotionally draining experience of having the birth mother of her soon-to-be-adopted baby back out of the arrangement at the last minute. Though this experience clearly affected her strongly (she's shown crying that she had created for the baby), by the next episode she's pulled herself together and is back to business as usual. In most cases, she isn't one to dwell on the past (though this isn't to say that she doesn't have her regrets), and she prefers to keep her innermost thoughts and feelings away from the public eye.
Slash: Ehhhhh she's pretty straight, so probably not, but I hate giving a definite "NO NEVER" on stuff like this. It really depends on the situation! But, uh, probably not. XD
Maim/murder/death: Case-by-case basis on all three.
Kissing: OOCly it's fine; her reaction will depend on who it is. :P
Hugging: Pffffft go for it.
Badtouch: If it's not consentual she will kick your ass.
Threadhopping: Sure, I'm completely fine with it as long as you don't hop into a filtered conversation or log/commentlog (unless your character would logically stumble upon the scene or you ask permission first).
Backdating: I'll continue any old conversation/log/commentlog, no matter how long its been since the last comment (in other words, if you dropped a thread two months ago and now want to continue it, go ahead and I'll reply!). The same goes for replying to old entries- though obviously, I'll backdate any responses. The only exception to this would be if you replied to an entry from before your character was in the game.
HOW'S MY DRIVING?- Lay it on me.
