CWs + opt out + opt in
Harry Du Bois used to be a bad person. Now he's lost his memory and is trying to get better, unfortunately he’s also a week old. Additionally: he comes equipped with a nonstop rambling internal monologue that isn’t likely to hold information back OOCly.
THE SKILLS
Harry's internal monologue from his skills (INLAND EMPIRE, ELECTROCHEMISTRY, HALF LIGHT etc) also might be odd or distracting for the canonblind, please feel free to tell me what level of interference and chatter you want from them.
By default I tend to keep them quiet unless they have something important to say (which is to say I’m not writing in full game style for the sake of expediency and convenience) but I can absolutely put a lid on them entirely and keep them in the background narration.
UNAVOIDABLE
✦ memory loss
✦ addiction
✦ disability/internalized ableism: (Has been told he’s too broken for society and believes it.)
✦ non graphic self harm (like hitting his head against his hands, pulling his hair etc)
✦ war/poverty/food insecurity (grew up in a war zone )
OPT-OUT-ABLE
✦ self harm/suicide ideation/past attempts
✦ internalized homophobia: (Suspects he’s bisexual but has a lot of baggage about masculinity. Will have no problem accepting other LGBT characters, will be gently curious and possibly in need of educating.)
✦ guilty conscience: (Generally afraid of his forgotten past and capacity for violence, assumes the worst possible about himself. May manufacture accusations against himself like sexual or domestic violence.)
✦ emotional immaturity and instability: (For better or worse. At its worst it can manifest in violent or obsessive ways. He phone stalked his ex wife so frequently that her new long distance number is muscle memory. The flip side is that he’s open minded and excitable.)
✦ human can opener: (Manipulative, though not necessarily malicious. Curious to a fault and madly persistent, wants to know everything about you.)
✦ gun violence: (perpetrator, victim)
✦ fixation on death and corpses: (handsy, at times mildly sexual but not enough for an outright necrophilia warning)
✦ misogyny: (he's trying to get better about this, but it’s a process)
✦ dysphoria: (baggage about his body from fatphobia, disability, and unexplored Gender Repression. I play Harry as bi-gender and usually not ready to approach that. Use fayde and search 'leotard' if unfamiliar with this Deep Gender Lore.)
OPT IN ONLY
✦ sexual assault: (Victim, but fears he’s a perpetrator due to memory loss)
✦ police brutality: (perpetrator, witness, enabler)
✦ adult/teenager relationship: (Harry was 24 when he met his girlfriend, who was 18)
