OOC PREFERENCES
CONTACT METHOD: [plurk.com profile] Ihdreniel, banerries @ Discord
THREAD-JACKING: Ask first if it's an in-person thing, but if it's a public on the network, feel free to go nuts; I adore chaotic network posts.
FOURTH WALLING / CANON PUNCTURE: I'm completely fine with potential canonmates spoiling future events for her (she's from the very end of canon, but there are a couple things she still doesn't know), but would rather she not be told that she's fictional!
BACKTAGGING: Always cool with it.
AVOIDED TOPICS: I'm generally fine with having any topic discussed/touched on ICly, provided that it's warned for as necessary and handled with respect OOCly (IC disrespectfulness is par for the course sometimes and definitely not a dealbreaker for me).
PREFERRED GENDER PRONOUN: She/her/hers

IC CHARACTERISTICS
CURRENT CANON POINT: Near the end of 5x13, "return 0" - after Samaritan is defeated, but before she finds out that the Machine survived
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Short. Like, SHORT. Compact, but muscular, and in excellent physical shape. Considering the resource scarcity she won't be too picky about clothing, but she'll gravitate towards things like skinny jeans, t-shirts, tank tops, hoodies, and sturdy footwear (all in black, if she can find it). She also entered the setting wearing a slightly-too-big-for-her leather jacket that she'll have on a lot. She has two or three piercings in each earlobe (often they're empty, but sometimes she wears a small stud in one or two of them) and a tattoo on her right forearm (it's very hard to make out the details because she's CONSTANTLY MOVING, but it seems to be a Rod of Asclepius + the letters U.S.M.C. arced across the top + some other misc designs).
DEMEANOR: Deadpan and stony around randos and people that she doesn't trust; deadpan and snarky around people she's warmed up to a little more. She usually gives off no-nonsense, all-work-all-the-time vibes, but she does have a fun side (she likes dancing in nightclubs!), as well as an often-dry-but-sometimes-surprisingly-goofy sense of humor. Prefers to keep her vulnerabilities and her personal life close to her chest. More expressive around dogs than around people.
ABILITIES: High levels of skill with a variety of firearms as well as hand-to-hand combat. High levels of experience with intelligence work. High levels of medical training. No superpowers or extra-human abilities.
MEDICAL INFORMATION: Extensive scarring on her torso, and probably some on her legs/arms, too (all healed). Mentally, she struggles with alexithymia, feelings of unreality, and the occasional bout of paranoia.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Things that annoy her or that she finds offensive include harm coming to her loved ones, harm coming to children (but also having to deal with children on a personal level), ignorant Americans who are dismissive of other cultures, and bigots of any stripe. The closest things she has to actual triggers are themes of unreality, brainwashing/mind-control, and psychological torture. I'm fine with her dealing with any of this ICly.
OTHER: I have a dedicated post for her own content warnings here, with opt-in/opt-out info.

IC PERMISSIONS
MENTAL: Can other characters read your character's mind or mentally coerce them?
