ACTIVE TIMES/PACE: Central Time; irregular hours. I have several health issues, and some days I can't tag at all. If I haven't tagged back in a while and you want to make sure I got the tag or am still planning to return it, feel free to poke me.
STYLE: No preference between brackets or prose; prefer present tense, but will match past. I will occasionally post to texting memes, but tend to have trouble keeping up with text threads for long unless they switch to in-person.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: No gore in picture prompts, no graphic descriptions of gore in tags; no eye trauma; no insects.

OUT OF CHARACTER
BACKTAGS/SLOWTIME: ✓ (there is no "too old")
ASSUMED CR: ✓ (pms are open for discussion)
MULTIPLE THREADS: ✓
FAKE GAME SETTING/UNIVERSE CLASHES: ✓
DEFAULT SETTING: Modern day American, somewhere big enough to have a pretty good college nearby but not necessarily big city; supernatural world with the masquerade very firmly in place.
DEFAULT CANON POINT: Generally pre-possession (circa 18-19/freshman and sophomore year of college); interested in post-possession (circa 21), but it's harder to get him sociable at that point, so feel free to discuss how to make things work or assume existing pre-possession CR.

IN CHARACTER
VISUAL: PB reference.
PHYSICAL AFFECTION: ✓
He's a touch-oriented person and will probably initiate it eventually.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: ✓
Kevin's not super inclined to be violent unless someone else starts it, but will try to hold his ground if someone does. No training, but post-possession there's a kind of desperation and a lack of awareness of his own physical limits that means he might do damage to both him and whoever he's attacking.
MINDREADING/PSYCHIC ABILITIES: ✓
Feel free to read his mind. Pre-possession, he's just a very clever, intelligent person who's often bored and a little bit bitchy. Post-possession, he's a lot more aware of how fucked up his life has been and has a harder time shoving it down, and there's the remaining sense of that connection lingering in his mind. He may be more aware that he's got someone in his head post-possession as well, but will not be able to shove them out or return it or anything.
MEDICAL INFORMATION: Relatively good health, but not for lack of trying. Smokes regularly, drinks heavily, makes poor choices in his vices in general, very occasional drug use. Has some scars from physical abuse, most notably on his back. Post-possession, there are days where it feels like it takes a lot more energy to connect to his physical body, but no actual physical triggers or signs of it.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Kevin grew up with a demanding, abusive family who was not afraid to take it out on him physically if he wasn't meeting expectations, and eventually ended up allowing him to be possessed with full knowledge it'd probably end in his death. He doesn't talk about this that often, but it may come up in tags. He brushes off most things, but might get defensive around supernatural beings with a similar presence to the eldritch thing in his head post-possession.

RELATIONSHIPS
PLATONIC: ✓
He makes friends pretty easily and while he can occasionally be a dick even to friends, he's usually pretty good to have around.
NEGATIVE: ✓
He's an ass with a competitive streak, it definitely happens, both in a half-joking "that's my rival" ways and more sincere "I cannot stand that guy, he's terrible" ways.
SHIPPING: ✓
Leans slightly towards men, especially for flings/casual sex, but I'm up for exploring anything. Kevin's had some decent relationships in the past, but not very serious ones. Will have a harder time starting a new relationship post-possession, especially a casual one, but it's not completely off the table, just more likely to start slowly, and I'm more interested in playing that out than handwaving into it.

IDEAS AND WANTS
◾ His original storyline involves meeting people he doesn't know are supernaturally inclined, being saved from possession by them, and then having them help him adjust post-possession. I'd be super down for doing that throughline within RP.
◾ Casual friends and party buddies, especially those also using their vices to ignore their issues. Alternately, better friends to try and convince him he should take better care of himself.
◾ Casual frenemies and academic rivals, with or without benefits. Kevin's asshole side is a lot of fun to play with, and he'd definitely have this relationship with at least a couple of people.
Post-possession specific:
◾ Supernatural things that might be interested in prodding at the connection left behind, whether from sheer curiosity, a desire to fuck with him/try to use it, or a desire to help him figure out how to live with it.
◾ "We've been fucked by the supernatural" support group friendships.
◾ People having met him during his possession turning up and making everything awkward.
