Edelgard von Hresvelg

PLAYER
Name: SamuraiMarmoset ("Samu" for short)
Contact: samuraimarmoset, Discord at Samu | Edelgard#0435
Tagging Time: Late afternoons, evening EST.
Tagging Style: I prefer prose, but if asked I can match style if necessary.
Backtags: By all means
Threadhopping: Sure.
Fourth Wall: I'm not above a little in-joke every now and then, but let's try not to go overboard.
Personal Triggers: None that leap to mind, but if you're uncertain feel free to ask.

CHARACTER
Fighting: It's fine, but let's communicate what we want to happen. I'm always willing to work with people.
Injury: Minor injuries are fine and expected after a battle. Anything serious would need to be discussed/worked out ahead of time.
Death: Would absolutely need to be worked out and planned ahead of time, and if at all possible I'd like to avoid her going Factionless.
Hugging: You can, but outside of a very few close friends/surrogate family expect a stiff, awkward response.
Flirting: You'll be more or less shut down (with levels of politeness depending on how forceful/tactful the flirting is) but feel free if that's IC for your character.
Kissing: I'd like some forewarning if you're planning to do that, but most likely Edelgard won't respond well to it.
Telepathy/Mindreading/Flashback-inducing: Edelgard has some memories that would be interesting to explore and I am interested in doing that. Let me know if you're interested and we can work something out.
IC Triggers: Due to her childhood, she's deathly terrified of rats. The game plays it in kind of a funny ha-ha way but the reasons behind it are absolutely not comedic. She's also nervous around large bodies of water, because she cannot swim.
Trigger Warnings: Edelgard's past contains significant amount of human/child experimentation on her and her siblings that led to the deaths of all her brothers and sisters but her. Specific mention is made of how she was "cut into" by the Agarthans/"those who slither in the dark" and many of her siblings suffered from crippling mental trauma before they passed away. It's dark stuff. During the period of time she was working with those who slither in the dark as the Flame Emperor before she sidelined them as part of the overall war she did some pretty morally ambiguous stuff. A lot it she personally opposed or was left out of the loop on, but Flayn's kidnapping, and the catastrophe of Remire Village happened on her watch and she does feel responsibility for them, as well as the death of Jeralt. Reminding her of those events probably won't impact the continuation of threads but won't put her in a good mood.

OPT-IN/OPT-OUT
AYMR: Edelgard's personal Relic axe is a powerful weapon and you can choose to opt out of her using it in battle against your character. Just make a note of it here if so.
RAGING STORM: Edelgard's personal combat technique which she can only use when wielding Aymr, it involves overcharging her two Crests in synchronization with the axe to unleash an overwhelming barrage of attacks. In actuality it will only be two to three attacks before she's stopped, or tires out (use of the attack is physically debilitating and will knock her for loop and will require rest once she's out of battle). I will absolutely check with you before I want to have her use it, and if you want to opt out of her using it at all in battle against any of your characters, you can note that here.
