Permissions OOC PREFERENCES: •CONTACT METHOD: yarnzipan •THREAD-JACKING: Yes, please! Going to happen especially re: Johann •FOURTH WALLING / CANON PUNCTURE: Can know he might be fictional, you almost certainly don't know his canon. •BACKTAGGING: Absolutely •AVOIDED TOPICS: If there's going to be gaslighting, I'd like to discuss is and have it raised; gaslighting my character is fine just not me, please : ) •PREFERRED GENDER PRONOUN: she/they IC CHARACTERISTICS: •CURRENT CANON POINT: end of the novel when he dies by gunshot wound •PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Florian is "a small man with delicate bone structure: high rouged cheekbones, thin pianist's fingers [...] [with a] meager width of his rib cage" and largely very pale (straw blonde hair blue black hair (dyed), eyes so pale blue they're almost white, pale skin); pretty not handsome. He's girlish, and tends to wear very fancy clothing that covers him top to bottom. He moves daintily; this is 100% fop energy. If you ever got him to show them, his arms are covered with blackened veins and cracked scars from his sorcery. "Beneath the white fabric his skin was powdery and marred with dark rivers of bruise. The black wound traced the path of Florian's veins, his flesh cracking and scabbed around its borders [...] coarse and mottled like fresh charcoal." He also has a noticeable frisson of heat around him for those with supernatural senses (ETA: when he is emotional; otherwise he has learned to hide this somewhat) and he 'stank' of magic all around him to Johann once he realized. To everyone but Johann, again he acts the fop. Johann, and anyone he eventually lets in, will see that he's driven, blunt, sharp-tongued, and a little mean. •DEMEANOR: To anyone who isn't Johann, affable and playful and clever and coy. Actually a little ball of hateful rage. •ABILITIES: Florian is a magician/sorcerer/wizard and he can do magic, albeit one who is self taught. Florian's magic is currently severely capped to where he can't use most of his abilities as they affect other people; at this point, he can only use magic on people who consent beyond simple force/telekinesis and parlor tricks and even that is limited. •MEDICAL INFORMATION: A very frail body brimming with magical talent; the aforementioned scars on his arms are the results of using it. He's exceptionally resistant to disease and starvation and heals more quickly than most. •CABIN INFORMATION: The front door to his cabin looks like the front door to Leickenbloom Manor, his family's ancestral home (something like this); inside he has his bedroom and his sitting room. •OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: modern industry, mining, trains, foreign investment (I'm not saying don't talk about them, I'm saying you're going to piss him off) plague, anti-aristocratic talk, family (same, just make him twitch) IC PERMISSIONS: •MENTAL: Yes, but he has the means to fight back! •MIMICRY: Go ahead, but he'll hate you. •VIOLENCE: It would be very hard; he avoids violence himself. He's more likely to push you away and run. •MAGIC: Can try but he's got his own magic so he'll probably know, try and defend himself, or remember and revenge himself. •DEBATE: absolutely though he probably won't take it seriously •OTHER / NOTES: Manhandling him if you're not Johann is going to get one hell of a response.

Inmate Pairing Post <b>Character Name:</b> Florian Leickenbloom <b>Character Journal:</b> <lj user=a_titanum> <b>Status:</b> Inmate <b>Pairing Information:</b> Despite his dandyish appearance, Florian is well and truly a feral child, one who practically raised himself from the age of 12 after a horrific ordeal that claimed the servants of his household, his parents, and his beloved twin sister, as well as forced him to nearly starve locked in a house full of decomposing corpses for months. That experience more than anything warped him, pitting him at odds both with his own city and it's people (for blaming his family for the plague that ravaged the city and locking them in) as well as the people of the foreign cities (who waited to assist the plague-ridden Elendhaven until it was weak enough be ripe for the picking). After that day, Florian lost the will to live for anything but spite and his life's goal to make those who'd wronged him pay their debts and despite his seemingly frivolous nature, he had the will, the drive, and the patience to make it happen. Florian is duplicitous and somewhat placated with simple pleasures: nice clothes, coffee, and treats; a warden willing to keep him comfortable and satisfied will at least earn his attention. It won't earn his respect, however: he enjoys things most of all for the power play they represent and rest assured that in any situation, he is very aware of the interplay of power and influence. Thus you're unlikely to catch him being a little shit in public without serious extenuating circumstances. No, Florian won't even reveal he's angry until his revenge is already in play and rest assured that he can hold onto a grudge for a damn long time so he'll need a warden who's good at picking up on subtext, undercurrents, and who's willing to pay a decent amount of attention. Also someone who's willing to understand that that subterfuge is also a survival mechanism given he had to finance his own life from age 12 on as well as hide his sorcerer's nature or face a death sentence from literally anyone around him. His city is a dark and damned place, and he has something of an aversion to green and bright and functional accordingly, so someone too nice or milquetoast or 'good' is going to be dismissed pretty much out of hand. For all of his frippery, he's a pragmatic person who likes to work from numbers and data, thus someone too emotionally based or 'soft' will be as well. Despite this, Florian <i>is</i> hungry for those who will acknowledge the injustice done to him; some of his deepest anger has to do with how there was no justice and no consequences for the horrors that his city put him through and that the world put his city through. Being the last of an aristocratic line, last of his house, is a huge piece of who he is and something he has complicated feelings about. It would help to have someone who can help him sort through the healthy parts of that and weed out some of the deeply deeply unhealthy parts. The other piece is the fact that he is (secretly, in his world) a mage, someone with magical power, and anyone with anti-mage or anti-magic sensibilities is going to immediately put him on edge and isn't really someone he can ever trust properly. While he understands the reasons why for it considering the tangible harm magic has done to his world, it's still something that is a huge part of who he is and tangled up with his issues and it probably wouldn't be a good fit. Also anyone who'd try to separate him from Johann? That's... just not going to fly. Johann, for all that they have a rather toxic relationship, is the only person he has, the only person he loves (whether he'll admit that or not for some time) and giving him up is not something he's willing to do. Don't get me wrong: it needs work, a LOT of work, but fighting him on that would definitely send him backwards. But despite all of this, Florian is not <i>entirely</i> hopeless: he has a sense of justice, albeit a very unforgiving one. His worldview involves checks and balances, debts and payment, and he isn't inclined to go after anyone who hasn't wronged him with motivationless malignancy. ...he's just got a lot of people who've wronged him, in his mind. Last but not least... Florian's plan is horrific and involves all sorts of disease-based horror and quite possibly ending his world with an unkillable plague. Given... everything, if that's not something you can really deal with in depth, he's probably not the inmate for you.

Bring it on. Additionally, Shaun has a wildly contagious virus that causes zombieism after death--they can compare notes!

How VERY interesting, says Florian.

[adaptiveimmunities]

I'm sure this will not lead to any trouble at all.

[a_titanum]

Deeeeefinitely not.
