[ooc] stats/permissions
AGE: 26 [born June 6th, 1944]
HEIGHT: Around 5'11".
EYES: Blue.
HAIR: Blond.
MEDICAL INFO: Perfectly normal human! Probably some minor scars from having been shot/stabbed a few times, but nothing particularly remarkable.
PHYSICAL TRAITS: Has a proper soldier's build, but is definitely on the lean/agile side. Can still put up a good close-quarters fight, though. The most notable thing about him physically (aside from his being a sharp dresser!) and one that, sadly, my icons don't convey, is that he's really, really animated. Pretty much anytime he's talking to someone, he's making gratuitous hand gestures -- pointing, handwaving, spreading his arms to make a point, doing this weird finger-gun thing... Ocelot is very dramatic.
WHAT'S OKAY TO MENTION AROUND HIM: Knows spoilers through Portable Ops (and thus understands more of the plot of MGS4 than anyone else in the cast) so anything having to do with that is totally fine; vague spoilers for the rest of the series I can probably roll with but if it's something extreme I'd appreciate a heads-up. Basically: fourth wall-breaking and suggesting he grow a mustache is awwwwright, but something like, say, Zanzibar Land is... well, a thing I would need to prepare a properly fucking amazed response for. (This may be edited after the rest of the cast intros and hilarious clusterfuck ensues.)
ABILITIES: First and foremost, let's talk about guns. Ocelot uses two Colt Single Action Army revolvers with six shots each, and totally gets off on reloading them in the middle of a battle. He's a crack shot, fast and incredibly deadly -- and skilled enough to calculate the proper angle to fire in order to make his bullet ricochet off a surface and hit a target he can't get a clear shot at. He is amazing.
He is also a thoroughly fantastic liar who is able to totally screw over the governments of two world powers in order to steal the fortune of a secret society and secretly assist Snake on his MISSION!!, all without breaking character or letting anyone catch on. Including Snake. Basically, he's the type of person who sees the world like a chess board and he's always thinking at least six steps ahead.
Thirdly, he is... resilient. He got kicked in the head, thrown off a building, and hit in the face with a motorcycle once, and was fine enough to make vague threats and scamper off afterward. COMIC VIOLENCE TOPS AND YET HAS NO EFFECT.
NOTES FOR THE PSYCHICS: HAHAHA GOOD QUESTION! He's pretty much a triple-crossing backstabbing lying liar McLiarface who is really, really excellent at hiding his true intentions from basically everyone. Understanding the full convoluted extent of the motivations behind his actions is a bit like looking upon Cththulhu and will DRIVE YOU MAD. Unless Big Boss is around, in which case his thought processes are something roughly along the lines of "SNAKE SNAKE SNAKE HEY SNAKE HEY SNAKE PAY ATTENTION TO ME ♥"
CAN I SHAPESHIFT/BODYSWAP/SPIT AT/STEP ON/OTHERWISE HARASS?: Why the hell not! He might shoot you in the foot, though.
HUGGING/KISSING/OTHER NON-VIOLENT PHYSICAL CONTACT: YOU MAY CERTAINLY TRY, although I... don't know why you'd want to. And neither does he.
GRATUITOUS VIOLENCE: Is awesome! As MGS operates on sexy video game logic, being a midboss, he can be shot multiple times and be totally fine in the next cutscene. Or, hell, in the same cutscene. However, RPing fights generally requires my brain to work, so I would appreciate a heads-up if you think something involving actual thought processes is about to happen.
DEATH: You can try, but you'll only create a time paradox and get a GAME OVER.
COOKING: I am saying yes. Because I bet he totally learned to cook five-course meals to try and seduce Big Boss. THE WAY TO A MAN'S HEART! ♥ Totally juggles eggs and flips things in pans and looks hilarious while he's doing it and will practice until he can make it perfectly and it is all very presentable-looking.
