HMD and Amnesty

How's my driving?

Is my Varric utterly terrible? Do you have pointers? Complaints? Critique? Advice? Praise, perhaps? I take all commentary, can be Anon or otherwise. IP logging is off, anon is enabled, and comments are screened for your convenience.

(On a related note: Is Varric's writing not quite terrible enough? Should I make it worse? Ideas on how to do that?)


Additionally, if we've got a thread going and you'd like to drop and/or handwave something, just let me know here.

Permissions

Varric doesn't have much by the way of special abilities, so there's not much to opt out of.

If you would rather Varric not write bad fanfiction with a terrible knock-off-characterization of your character, please let me know.

Otherwise here are a pretty standard array of permissions for Varric, if you have questions that reside outside of this list, please leave a comment:

OOC:

Backtagging: Certainly! I try my best but sometimes I'll open a tag and lose it amid my tabs; if a couple of days have passed with no comment, this has probably happened. I apologize. If you want to tag into something old, please, feel free! I'm never sad to get new tags.
Threadhopping: Go for it. Varric is from Kirkwall; shouting over everyone around you and getting involved in other people's problems on accident are basically the national past-times.
Offensive subjects: I am fine with basically anything? Honestly, I have a propensity to write gore and violence with more description than other people are comfortable with, so if that bothers you let me know? Otherwise there is basically nothing that will really throw me.

IC:

Hugging this character: Go for it. Varric will take it with good humor.
Kissing this character: He won't react violently but he will let them down easy and probably keep an arm's length between himself and your character for a while.
Flirting with this character: Go nuts, unfortunately, you know what they say about Dragon Age Romances? Restriction: NOT VARRIC.
Fighting with this character: If you can goad Varric into a fight, go for it, it may take some doing. Otherwise he's pretty good at ducking and evading actual violence.
Injuring this character: Topical injuries? Have at. Anything more serious than a punch to the face or a fleshwound and we should probably talk it out.
Killing this character: Please, no.
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Go for it, I hope your character enjoys bad fanfiction and running sarcastic commentary because that's what they're going to get.

Warnings: Nobody can resist the chest hair.
