•CONTACT METHOD: PM or![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
frodabaggins.
•THREAD-JACKING/THREAD HOPPING: Totally fine as long as it's public.
•FOURTH WALLING / CANON PUNCTURE: History buffs who would know stuff about his era, totally fine. If your character would be specifically familiar with Outlander canon, please contact me so we can work something out.
•BACKTAGGING: Always - I will continue tagging a thread as long as it takes to complete, or as long as everyone involved feels like it.
•AVOIDED TOPICS: I'm not interested in threading out rape scenes. Otherwise, if in doubt, just contact me so we can talk about it.
IC CHARACTERISTICS:
•PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Jamie is a strapping young Scotsman with red hair and blue eyes. Like, he could be the kilted dude on the cover of any highland romance novel, complete with broad shoulders and chiseled jaw. He might be quicker to smile than those other guys, though, and he has a real nice one.
•DEMEANOR: Jamie is pretty friendly most of the time, though he can be sullen and temperamental when the mood strikes him. He's a proud Scotsman, though, and holds his head high - he was raised to be proud of his heritage and that's sort of an ingrained part of his personality. Also of note is his accent - Jamie speaks with a thick Scottish brogue that may occasionally be difficult to understand for people not used to it. Example of how he speaks here. He doesn't even always use English words - it can be a mix of Gaelic, Scots-English and "proper" English.
•ABILITIES: Jamie is a baseline human, so he doesn't have any supernatural, magical or otherworldly powers. But he's certainly not lacking in skills! Here are a few of them:
- Combat: Jamie has spent several years with the French army, and as an outlaw, so he has a lot of experience in a fight. He's good with both swords and guns, and even his fists in a pinch.
- Horsemanship: Not only is he an excellent rider, but he's good with horses in general, and knows how to break them (train them to a bridle).
- Education: Jamie received what was considered the best education available in the mid-18th century. He's fluent in at least three languages (Gaelic, English, French), reads and writes Greek and Latin, and likely has a smattering of at least a couple others, most probably Spanish and German. He's also incredibly knowledgeable about history, geography, politics, mathematics, western philosophy and religion (he's a good Catholic boy).
- Landowner: As a laird (landowner or landlord), Jamie also has a lot of practical knowledge of how to run a farm. He can work with animals, make repairs and maintain farm equipment, he can do accounting, etc etc.
- Future knowledge: While most of Jamie's knowledge is dated to 1743, he does have some information about things that will happen in the future. His wife is actually a time traveler of sorts, from the mid-20th century, and she has told him a bit about things that will happen over the next 200 years, including WWI and WWII, and some technological advancements, like airplanes.
•MEDICAL INFORMATION: For the most part, Jamie is a healthy young man, but he has suffered some major physical injuries in his life, and has a fair amount of PTSD from his experiences. Upon arriving in Medietas, his left hand is bandaged and splinted, as all the bones have been broken. He's experienced flogging and torture on multiple occasions and has the scars to prove it. He's also been stabbed and shot.
•OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: There really isn't much that offends him, except direct threats to the people he cares about.
IC PERMISSIONS:
•MENTAL/MIMICRY: Just let me know and we'll work something out - I'm usually fine with stuff like this, though be aware, Jamie's got some pretty dark shit in his past, so anyone who wants to invade his mind or memories is in for a trauma conga line.
•VIOLENCE: Jamie's a good fighter, and I love fight scenes! He's a badass normal, though, and probably no match for people with super powers or magic or whathaveyou.
•MAGIC: If there's something specific you'd like to do to Jamie, let me know so we can talk it out.
•DEBATE: Jamie's pretty laid-back in general, but I'm always okay with characters trying to debate things.
•HUGGING/KISSING/PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Sure, go for it, though how he reacts to such things depends on how close the CR is. He might react badly if a man tries to kiss him on the mouth, though. See warnings below.
•SHIPS: Frankly, unless your name is Claire (Randall) Fraser, shipping is highly unlikely to happen. Jamie is canonically very in love with his wife. I am totally okay with characters flirting with him, etc, though! He's a handsome guy, feel free to point it out.
•OTHER / NOTES: TRIGGER WARNINGS: Jamie's backstory includes a lot of really nasty stuff, including torture and rape and PTSD. I will not bring these up directly in a thread unless we've discussed it beforehand OOCly, but I do want people who tag him to be aware that these exist and if they want to be nosy or otherwise learn more about him, it may become pertinent.
Offensive topics: Jamie is from the year 1743, so he has a lot of ideas about things that, at best, will seem very retrograde to more modern sensibilities and may sometimes be outright offensive, especially when it comes to topics like women and women's rights, sex and sexuality, race and class. He's generally a pretty decent, open-minded guy, but unlike the above trigger warnings, I can't guarantee that it won't come up in the course of regular conversation.
In general, if you need to opt-out of tagging me for any reason, that's totally fine. Just let me know and I'll make a note not to tag you, no explanation required.
