Angel
Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

age: ~278 (actual), 26 (apparent)
gender: Male
sexuality: Bi-curious

Out of Character

Backtagging: Absofreakinglutely, backtagging is my sustenance.

Gagtagging: Bring 'em on.

Fourthwall: Prrrrobably shouldn't.

Offlimits: I don't write smut, but I'll gladly write lead-ups to them. And despite playing a vampire, I am also haemophobic, so please warn if you're going to get nice and detailed about the blood.

Threadhopping/threadjacking: Please check with everyone involved before jumping in.

Handwaving: Totally acceptable, especially for fluff and filler stuff between major events.

Other: If you don't know how I'll feel about something, poke me via DMs or Plurk. Attempting communications >>>>> making assumptions to avoid communication.

In Character

Physical/Mental Contact: Yes; physical is fine if you're not a visible threat, mental he's gonna be cautious about without a heads up.

Flirting/Affection: Oh yes, he appreciates it more than he will admit.

Manipulation: He used to do it for a living, so feel free to try - just know he'll probably see it coming and won't fall for it unless you really poke his insecurities.

Fighting: Yes, though as he's warned in canon, “You get lucky, you might last ten minutes. Really lucky, and you're unconscious for the last five.”

Injury/Death: He is no stranger to either, but please discuss with me beforehand if you want to go staking him or something.

CRAU: He won't have it, but he's fine to interact with anyone who does.

Other: I typically play Angel from right after the comic After the Fall, BUT don't let this alarm you; I am all too happy to ignore the majority of Angel Season 4. If I make reference to a story line you'd rather I not, please don't hesitate to reach out and I will omit/rephrase accordingly.

Powers / Abilites

Vampire Abilities: Immortality, regeneration, superhuman physical attributes (high speed, super strength, high vitality), heightened senses (tracking by scent), vulnerability to holy items and sunlight, can be killed by decapitation or a stake to the heart, regularly ingests mammal blood, high pain tolerance, implied psychic connection to those he sires, can't enter active residences without invitation. Has slightly longer exposure tolerance to sunlight and holy items due to his advanced age.

Combat: Unarmed circular attacks (spinning kicks, back hands), martial arts proficiency, mastery of various weapons (favouring broadswords and axes). Ruthless, remorseless fighting strategies as Angelus.

Magic and supernatural/occult aptitude: Immense knowledge of demonology and history from centuries of living; ability to perform spells, exorcisms, and glamours (though prefers an expert opinion for the sorcery stuff).

Other Physical Skills: Concise handwriting, portrait drawings, torture expertise (as Angelus), car driving and admiration, cooking, some parenting experience, competence with modern technology.

Other Mental Skills: Leadership, tactical planning, intimidation, psychological manipulation (as Angelus), multilingualism (fluent in English, Korean, Tibetan, Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, French, Belarusian, Romanian, German; limited knowledge of Vinji and Sahrvin), photographic memory, improvisational acting.

Shipping

OTP: In order from "this is who I actively want" to "I would try them under the right circumstances": Cordelia, Buffy, Kate, Nina, Lindsey, Doyle.

NoTP: In order from "I will never humour the idea" to "they're just friends bro": Anyone related to Angel, Eve, Drusilla, Illyria, Darla, Riley, Harmony, Lilah, Dawn, Xander, Holtz, Willow, Giles, Wesley, Gunn, Lorne, Spike, Faith.

Preferences: Uh, he prefers blonde ladies but this isn't strictly a rule. He has also experimented with men as Angelus, so hooking up with one is possible but would take a slow burn.

Availability: Since he's from the end of After the Fall, he has been single for a hot minute.

Other: I know it's disappointing, David Boreanaz is a very attractive man, and it means imagining the happy sex times in your head, but seriously I don't write smut.
