Impressions/DRRP Permissions
EB: yes, it is understandable because you are really attractive. i am attracted to you.
TG: thank you
At 5'10" and 150 pounds, Dave's both tall and lanky for his age, with the sort of gangly elbowiness that shows he's still growing. This is because his genetic father is the son of Slenderman. You won't really find much muscle definition to speak of, since he's spent the last three years of his life dicking around on a meteor instead of keeping up with his training. He slouches constantly and, if he isn't using his hands for anything, they are almost always in his pockets. This is a shame, because his hands are actually pretty nice-looking. Long palms, long, slim fingers, easily the most physically attractive part of Dave. He bears swordsman's calluses and a few very faint scars on his hands and arms, the sort a guy who fights with a sword might get sparring with a guy who fights with a sickle.
Dave has sort of a narrow face that's just starting to lose the last of the baby fat that gentled the lines, so you could say he's in transition from looking a lot like his mom to looking more like his dad. The impression is still slender rather than angular.
He's super pale on account of absorbing literally no sunlight for the last three years, with the sort of translucence that both blushes and bruises easily. It seems he may have used to freckle, but the evidence faded away a long time ago. His short, flyaway hair is also extremely fair, almost platinum blond, and he combs it to the side and back. There's more length to the top than to the back and sides, and he maintains long sideburns. His eyes are usually completely obscured by David Starsky's aviators from the actual Starsky and Hutch movie set; behind them his eyes are bright red. His eyebrows are a bit thicker and darker than the rest of his hair would suggest.
He tends not to emote much. Though Dave sometimes uses his hands to talk, he doesn't put much energy into his arms, and where some people might convey things through body language and the set of shoulders, he'll just tilt or bob his head.
Dave also has a bad habit of forgetting eye contact and talking to people while very obviously doing other things. This is likely a holdover from the days when most of his conversations took place over instant messaging clients so that he could multitask while chatting. It makes him seem really distractable. And, well. That's fair.
Dave is canonically known both to mumble and to talk to himself both in and without company. Even when he's not mumbling incoherently about trolls and coffee, there's a quiet, steady sound to his conversation that doesn't demand anyone's attention. I'd put him in the second tenor range: sort of a medium, warm kind of voice that sounds just a little rough, like he's always just woken up. He's also got a bit of a Southern drawl, but only a slight one, since growing up in a big city tends to weaken regional dialects.
When he laughs, he often does so without any actual voice to it, just the breathy noise of his chuckling.
When speaking with adults over 30, Dave tends to be a little quieter and more reserved, as if approaching a strange and potentially explosive situation in a language in which he's only half-fluent.
Dave smells like cotton, apple juice, and pencil shavings, and he always feels warm.
[OOC]:
Backtagging: Yes.
Threadhopping: Heck yes.
Fourthwalling: Unlikely, but sure, if you want?
Offensive subjects: I don't have objections to anything that isn't already addressed in Dangan Roleplay's rules.
[IC]:
Touching this character: Yeah, totally fine. Note that he will dodge away from any quick movements on reflex and will probably stiffen a little on contact at the best of times; under emotional duress, he will most likely jerk away immediately.
Kissing this character: Ask me first eyyo
Flirting with this character: If you're in the right general age bracket, sure, go for it. Dave is sixteen and almost definitely canonically panromantic.
Fighting with this character: Talk with me! I am not very good at threading fights so I'd like to have an idea what will go down.
Injuring this character: Talk with me, I will almost definitely say yes.
Killing this character: WELL.
Using telepathy/mind-reading: Absolutely! Dave is pretty much an open book; he has no mental shielding to speak of and no experience masking his emotions in any way that counts. Let me know if you need to know what he's thinking.
The combination of a recent revelatory Homestuck update and Week 3's motive have made it so that Dave might very well let slip more than a couple things about straight-up emotional and physical child abuse. If you need me to avoid this topic with you or your character, just let me know by replying to this post or sending me a private plurk. Comments here are now screened.
Also applies to any other topics you need me to avoid.
TG: thank you
