PLOT & PERMISSIONS
Last update 22nd August '10.
GENERAL
THREADJACKING; YES!
BACKTAGGING; YES!
HACKING; YES! However, if you plan to use the information against Giovanni, a heads-up would be very appreciated, just so I can be prepared. o/
FOURTHWALLING; Unlikely to be an issue, since it's a fairly niche manga. Please PM or drop a note here if you want to, though!
GODMODING; Godmoding is generally okay, eg. manhandling in a fight log, general grabs or attacks he's not likely to be able to dodge, etc. I completely trust you guys with not abusing that. That said, please PM or drop a note here if you're asking about something that could do notable damage or if you want to talk about who'll win the fight if it's a close match, yadda yadda! o/
STALKING/INFORMATION GATHERING; If your character can see what he's written, it's fair game! If it's something like log events or my character's private activities you want your character to become aware of, let me know here.
TOUCHING/PHYSICAL CONTACT; Yes! He may not like it, depending on the circumstances, but you'll get no complaints from me.
FIGHTING; YES!
WINNING/LOSING; I'm fine with either! Giovanni's main capacity is really just his resilience more than his strength. He isn't likely to win unless his opponent is less combative, but he's also likely to survive and endure a lot more than most people would.
INJURE/KILL; Yes to injure, no to kill for the moment.
ROMANCE/SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS: Romance probably won't happen, because he's too psychologically fudged for it. But I'm certainly open to sexual relations if it develops.
PERSONAL
PHYSICAL HEALTH; Giovanni is seemingly in good health, and although he's thin he's quite strong and muscular. He appears to get headaches and trouble with his memory degrading, possibly when he takes severe damage. This probably won't become a notable issue in the game until some new chapters give a better insight.
MENTAL HEALTH; Psychologically, Giovanni is FUBAR. Acts confident and arrogant in the presence of others - very smooth, calm, and in control. Underneath it all, he's one really damaged guy with a bad case of PTSD, and all someone has to do is pick at those scabs the right way and they'll start seeing a very different side of him. Goes a little bit batshit and overenthusiastic when he fights, sometimes. Obsessed with Heine, could express concern or dissatisfaction if his place in Heine's life becomes jeopardised.
TRIGGERS; Any sort of verbal abuse, but particularly being referred to as a 'loser', 'trash', or anything that implies he's incapable will have an effect on him, and it's a sure-fire way to get your character down on his to-do list in some capacity. He also doesn't take well to being derided for his dog-like qualities. Also, anything that reflects the behaviour of the dog in his canon will affect him; if your character goes berserk in his vicinity or line of sight, I might come asking for him to stalk them. o/ None of this is very likely to make him flip out on the outside, but it'll do a lot to him under the surface. If you also want him to become aware of your character's berserker tendencies, let me know here! I'll be glad for it.
WARNINGS; I have this bad habit of giving Giovanni some pretty visceral daydreams and impulses when I have him in fightlogs; a lot of the descriptions can get graphic. If you're uncomfortable with this and want me to be aware of it, please let me know. I'll keep it tame for any logs we're in together.
