General
Character Name: Eric Northman
Species (human/alien/vampire/other?): Vampire
Extra-human/abnormal abilities, if any?: Eric has accelerated speed, plus heightened senses such as sight, hearing, and smell. He also has super strength and speed, regeneration, and the ability to fly Also, like all True Blood vampires, Eric has the ability to glamour humans. Meaning, he can hypnotize a person by maintaining eye contact and get them to do or say anything he wants them to.
Psychology
1. Is it okay for your character's thoughts to be read/their mind to be probed? Telepaths won't be able to read Eric's mind. True Blood vamps are special like that. So, probably not.
2. Is it okay for any of your character’s intense/distressing memories to be seen/heard/read in this situation? See question 1.
3. What kind of mind does your character have? Are they disturbed at all? Are their thoughts ordered or jumbled? A smart, calculating mind. Up to his current canon point he doesn't seem disturbed in any way. He's got a very organized brain.
4. Is it okay for your character’s emotions to be sensed? Go for it.
5. Does your character have a weak or strong mind? Are they susceptible to influence or hypnotism? Strong mind, definitely. The only one who can order him to do anything is his maker, Godric.
6. Does your character have supernatural/mental fortification against mind-reading or telepathic communication? Well, he's a vampire, so yes. Telepaths can't read his mind or try to communicate with him.
7. In the case of characters who are extra-sentient/psychic and can just 'know' things about people, can the muns of these characters use the powers of Wikipedia to get information about your character? Sure, as long as it's info from the show and not the books, since he's from tv canon.
8. If so, is there anything that should absolutely never ever be brought up? He might get grumpy about his family being murdered, but anything is fair game.
9. Anything that should absolutely be brought up? Can't think of anything.
10. Will thoughts in the narration be up for grabs? If so, how will you indicate these? Italics/strikes/something else? I'll get back to you on that.
11. Does your character have any fears/phobias that you wouldn't mind being exploited? Ones that you'd like to NOT be exploited? None that I can think of.
Physiology
1. Is it okay for your character to be affected by chemical agents? Fear toxins, for example? Ummm, no. The only thing that could potentially hurt him is silver.
2. Does your character have any unique biological difference that would affect their resistance to toxins/chemical substances? He's dead?
3. Does your character have any notable genetic/supernatural/biological difference that would make their blood in any way different to a regular baseline human's (that would make them taste different if they were fed on by a vampire, for example)? Why yes, yes it does. If taken in small doses (like a drop or two) it can cause humans to hallucinate, have increased sex drives, etc. It can also be used to heal wounds at an extremely fast rate. When a human drinks directly from the vampire, they become bonded and the vampire can use that bond to locate the human wherever they happen to be. They can also sense the human's emotions.
Physical
1. How okay are you with your character coming to physical harm? I'm cool with that, but it won't be easy.
2. How okay are you with your character's home/possessions being targeted by bad guys? Well, he lives with Godric, so I'd say ask first, but generally I'm down for it.
3. Can your character be impacted by telekinesis? Sure.
4. With regard to vampires, would your character be willing to be a donor? Eric doesn't usually give his blood to just anyone. There are a limited few he would share his blood with.
5. If no, then how about unwilling? You have to chain him down with silver if you really wanted to get blood from him and he was unwilling.
6. With regard to shapeshifters, are you okay with having those with this power taking the shape of your character? Sure, why not.
7. If your character has any superhuman abilities, would you be okay with these being replicated by those who have the power to absorb/take on the powers of others? Ehhh, I don't know about this one. Ask first?
8. In a physical confrontation, is it okay if characters who have the power to sense/foresee/predict movements use this to their advantage against your character? Go for it.
9. Are you willing to participate in plots where your character will sustain damage outside of a fight, such as in situations with torture, environmental hazards, or accidents? Yes indeed! I've never had the chance to physically torture Eric, so that would be fun....>.> And that came out more sadistic than I intended.
10. Is there anything about them that would stand out noticeably (things like scars, physical augmentations, illness, anomalies, etc.) if they were ever injured or otherwise examined by a doctor? Are any of these things noticeable to others without close inspection? He's really tall? Idk. Not sure if his fangs count since he can hide those whenever he wants.
Magics
1. Can your character be influenced and tempted by magical or supernatural means? Probably.
2. If yes, will someone with the ability be able to find this out about them, and in what areas (think the seven deadly sins) can your character be tempted?...I'll have to think about that.
3. Could your character be glamoured (a form of mind control employed by vampires to make humans compliant/alter their memories etc.)? Um, no. He glamour's people, not the other way around.
4. Can your character be effected by spells of any kind, and are there any specific types to which they would be immune? He can be spelled. No idea if he would be immune at all.
5. Can your character's presence be sensed by characters with the power to read auras/pick up generalized vibes from people? Sure.
6. If yes, what kind of stand-out things about your character can be sensed? He's a vampire/dead. He's old. (I'll add more when I think of them.)
7. With regard to characters that can sense danger/receive visions/predict general doom, are you okay with your character being the subject of any of this, if the occasion arises? Sure.
Privacy
1. Will your character change their name as it is shown on the map? If so, what will they change it to? Nope
2. If they’re able, will they ever opt to hide their location on the map? Probably not. He's not exactly afraid of being confronted by anyone.
3. If your character is from an earlier point in their canon than another member of your cast, what is and is not okay for your fellow castmate to spill the beans about regarding your character’s future? Well, until I canon bump him, I'd like the info regarding who killed his family to remain a mystery for now. I'm down with talk about the uber werewolves, but I don't want him learning about Russell Edgington just yet.
4. With regard to characters that like to snoop, can they find anything that's been publicly said by your character through the tablets? Sure.
5. How about privately? Nope.
6. Is there anything you'd especially like to be known about your character, for the purposes of amusement? Can't think of anything.
7. Anything you especially don't? Nope.
8 Do you like threadhopping (a character not already in a thread jumping in unexpectedly to reply to a comment), and are you okay with other people threadhopping in your threads and posts? I do and I'm fine with others doing it too. Makes it more fun that way. :)
