in character.

physical affection Anything is fine oocly, though Peter's reactions will be situational. Generally, physical affection would be met stiffly, and he is apt to get physically defensive as though under attack — jerking away, flinching, etc. If a touch is startling enough for him, he may go into panic attack mode. If it's someone he feels more comfortable and vulnerable around, it's a very different case, and Peter can be pretty physically affectionate when he feels safe enough.

physical violence Fine, though anything too extreme would need some discussion first, please! It would probably be like attacking a wounded animal, because Peter generally wouldn't fight back and is extremely averse to confrontation. However, he is possessed by a very powerful demonic entity who is more than capable of defending itself and may or may not make an appearance (depending on the game setting / etc.)

romance Peter comes with a ton of issues, as well as the whole demonic possession thing, so generally anything romantic would be extremely slowburn. That said, I'm definitely down for exploring it. (Note: for memes & psls, I'm totally find speeding things up a bit and handwaving / discussing assumed cr there as needed, though I do really love letting things grow organically.)

sexual content Open to it, though with discussion! I definitely favour the build-up to things, and Peter has so many traumas and issues that it wouldn't be simple at all for him.

psychic abilities His mental state is extremely raw (especially given that he's freshly been forcibly broken down and made vulnerable enough for a demonic entity to be put within him), and wouldn't offer much resistance at all. There is also the potential to be able to sense Paimon's presence / something supernatural / demonic within him. How exactly someone might perceive Paimon could depend on their particular ability / level / how they may interpret him (he could simply register as something Other, some Ambiguous Higher Power Thing, a djinn-like entity, perhaps as unbearably bright, cacophonous lights and sounds that make you ill!) They may even be able to sense something that feels like a child, given that a lost little girl's identity is kind of scrambled up in there. There may also be other echoes of past host voices, or some weird indecipherable mixture of everything. I'm definitely up for playing around with this, and offering descriptions of what your character might be able to perceive.

magic / powers The use of magic/powers on Peter is fine, though discussion would be great for anything that is going to affect him too severely. He also comes with a very powerful demon who is sensitive to the use of magic and would inevitably react to it (unless your person's magic isn't able to be detected, etc.) Mostly I'll handle this on a case by case basis!

medical information Overall, he's... fairly averagely healthy, though being demonically possessed does take a toll on him, and he does look pretty sickly on the surface as a result. Peter often suffers from fatigue, fainting spells, flu-like symptoms (fevers, cold sweats and chills, vomiting...) as well as evidence of "self"-harm from the demon, in the form of scratches, bruises, marks, etc. He often looks as though he is in dire need of sleep, with dark circles and bloodshot eyes... His nose has also been broken and some perceptive folks might be able to tell this by the way it's just slightly crooked.

offensive subjects / triggers Child suffering or death, the smell of fire / things burning, the sound of a match striking, the smell of paint thinner / any scents close to that, trauma to the throat / decapitation in general, being alone in certain rooms (particularly ones with closets), being chased / pursued suddenly, sudden movement in general, being watched from afar / being stared at, people experiencing anaphylactic reactions, being in or around cars. Also worth mentioning is that oocly, I am very much fine with these things coming up around Peter.

demonic possession.

NOTE: I typically default to playing Peter as possessed by Paimon, but these may be subject to change depending on a game setting / nerfing / etc.

PHYSICAL DISTRESS / EPILEPTIC & SELF-HARM ASSOCIATIONS Physically, Peter is prone to flinching, twitching, strange movements, contortions, etc, as well as more severe convulsions that result in "self" harm, generally involving throwing himself around or smashing into things. (Peter's nose was also broken in one of the demon fits, an incident which severely traumatised him and frequently pops up in his introspection.) He very often hosts marks, cuts, and bruises from the demon. His possession also means that Peter is frequently physically ill (cold sweats, fever, fatigue, vomiting) and suffers from strange "zoned out" spells and fainting spells. He is also prone to making noises that can be perceived as frightening, such as choking, wheezing, and clucking his tongue.

EMOTIONAL / PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS Paranoia, dissociation, much Vacant Staring and occasional drooling on himself, panic attacks, memory loss, memory confusion, lost time, strong themes of loss of autonomy, strong themes of loss of self.

PERSONALITY / IDENTITY CONFUSION & SHIFTS Peter at times will display confusion as to his own identity, or seem to be someone else entirely. At times, the demon Paimon himself may make an outright appearance, and his reactions / behaviour may vary from lost, confused, & docile, to frightened, to feral & violent, to something more regal and Demon King. He may also at times display Peter's 13-year-old little sister's persona / identity, whether it's simply her behaviours or outright answering to "Charlie". They're all a jumbled-up mess. It's fine...

INHUMAN / DEMONIC CAPABILITIES Aside from a host of supernatural abilities, Paimon can also physically crawl on walls and ceilings in a way that I often describe as spiderlike, move very quickly, and float / levitate / fly. His movements are often erratic / strange, and very clearly "inhuman."

ANIMAL DEATH / MUTILATION Paimon/Charlie will cut the heads off of things from time to time... which I will absolutely not have happen without checking first. Generally, he will mutilate animals he finds dead, so actual animal death is not a thing I would really be writing out. Dead animals are also often involved in the art crafts that the demon creates.
