CHARACTER NAME: Terezi Pyrope
CHARACTER SERIES: Homestuck
[OOC]
This is the permissions list for OOC (out of character), activity.
Answer the following questions with "yes" or "no", as well as additional information if desired.
1). Backtagging: Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.
2). Threadhopping: Sure!
3). Fourthwalling: Feel free!
4). Offensive subjects (elaborate): I typically have no particular issue with having characters confront mine with offensive subjects; it's usually bound to come up sometime and it makes for a good thread. So feel free the drop some heavy bombs once in awhile. If I don't feel comfortable, I will instantly let you know, but that's usually a once-in-a-blue-moon kind of occurrence.
[IC]
This is the permissions list for IC (in-character), activity.
Answer the following questions with "yes" or "no", as well as additional information if desired. With IC permissions, it's a good idea to elaborate on what other players can expect from your character if they choose to do any of the following:
1). Hugging this character: Feel free. Although trolls aren't, as a culture, particularly touchy, so she might be a bit surprised at first...and then probably just hug back.
2). Kissing this character: Yes. Although she's 13, and she also has this thing about licking to taste colors, and trying to weird people out, so be warned.
3). Flirting with this character: Yes. Although she's 13. She might morbidly flirt back.
4). Fighting with this character: Yes, although we'd have to talk it out beforehand, because Terezi is 1) blind, and 2) apparently super competent at fighting, and fully prepared to be a sneaky underhanded manipulator about everything, so logistics could get tricky.
5). Injuring this character (include limits and severity): I don't mind, as long as we talk it out first. Except her to be very insincerely "How could you do that to a blind girl" about it, though.
6). Killing this character: Possibly! I am not adverse to the idea, but it would require some discussion.
7). Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Terezi is canonically immune to a canonmate's mind reading/mind control/telepathy abilities in canon. I'm willing to fudge that if necessary for people outside canon, since maybe it's not the same! It could be very interesting. But she would be pretty resistant to it and possibly with her Seer of Mind powers aware that it was taking place.
SEER OF MIND
This is a little bit tricky, and please don't hesitate to ask about it if this doesn't make sense. As the Seer of Mind, Terezi describes herself as being capable of understanding the sort of realities people create with their thoughts, and what they would do if their thoughts led to actions. This is, as she claims it, what allows her to keep her friends out of trouble and bring evil-doers to justice! This is mostly, at least as I see it, her being very good at reading people and thus predicting what they'll probably do. However, this isn't a completely infallible skill- she's capable of being misled by false evidence and drawing wrong conclusions, and I will always, always ask before she starts doing something like this to minimize any possibility of godmodding or infomodding of any sort.
COLORS
To compensate for her blindness, Terezi's guardian taught her how to smell and taste color as a way of getting around the world. While she is fully blind, she's usually able to sense the world around her through these means, which means she's often licking stuff or coloring it in bright colors to help her "see" better. It also means she can sniff other people out and will probably identify them primarily by the colors she smells. She's particularly fond of red.
TROLL RELATIONSHIPS
Trolls have weird ways of looking at relationships with people, which is loaded with complex terminology and jargon. Terezi will be okay with explaining, should it come up, but I understand this sort of canon-loaded info-dumping can get heavy and boring, so feel free to request that it gets glossed over or toned down at any time.
If you're curious,
this article explains the whole thing fairly succinctly.
TEXT
I'm not sure how much of a problem this may be or how much this will come up at the moment! However, I'm aware that Homestuck typing quirks- and Terezi's in particular- can be very difficult for other players, which is why it has its own
separate, screened post. Feel free to drop me a line at any time if you don't want me to use her quirk in a text post with your character.
