CHARACTER NAME: Bartimaeus of Uruk
CHARACTER SERIES: The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud

OOC

Backtagging: sure
Threadhopping: if it's not interrupting something serious, yeah. If you're not sure, feel free to ask.
Fourthwalling: I figure it's implied Bartimaeus wrote most of the books, so absolutely.
Offensive subjects: none I'm aware of

IC

Hugging: sure
Kissing: sure
Flirting: don't expect him to respond, but sure. Remember most of the time he looks human he'll look like a 14 year old kid, though he's about 5,000 and can look any age he wants.
Sex: for a certain sort of cr he might agree to try it, but I'd rather that be planned out first
Fighting: I'd rather plan out how it's going to go with you first, but yes
Injuring: ask me first
Killing: not unless we've agreed on it beforehand
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities: ask, please

Opt-out

Bartimaeus is likely to make fun of anything he thinks a character would be sensitive about, including things like weight, dating history, whatever. If there's anything you don't want him to mention, or if you'd rather your character not interact with him at all, let me know here. Comments are screened, anon is on.

If you can, specific examples are helpful, both of things I've done wrong and right. Please mention anything that feels off to you, but there are a couple specific things I may need to work out.

He uses more than one type of English slang so hopefully that won't sound too unnatural, but some Americanisms may sneak in there. Bartimaeus' world isn't the same as ours but I think most of its history is meant to be similar, so if any of his historical references feel weird that's also a possible issue. Most of my history knowledge comes from wikipedia, so this will probably happen. And there's his voice too, of course - his characterization, as well as any issues with my attempt to translate the feel of his narration from first person to third. And anything else. Don't be shy, I do want to improve so feedback is valuable.
