NAME: Owl
CONTACT: On Discord, at InsomniacOwl#7345
ACTIVE TIMES/PACE: Mountain Standard Time, and I can bounce between relatively quick (a few hours) to sporadic (a few days). I wanna give you my best! Hence, it may take a minute.
BRACKETS/PROSE: Honestly I'll try to match. I will however be very wordy either way ghjkl.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: No super descriptive eye gore, please. Same with too-descriptive teeth damage. Mentions are fine, but don't go into visceral detail. If we're going to do a sensitive topic, I'd like to talk it over first to make sure they can be addressed in a respectful manner. Subject to be minorly tweaked in the future!

IN CHARACTER
BLANKET CONTENT WARNINGS:
- Sci-fi/comic book violence and MCU spoilers, ahoy!
- If he wasn't from a Disney-Sony property, he would curse like a sailor underneath his Good Guy act. Ergo, his narration and dialogue will probably have a decent amount of language sometimes.
- There's also a chance he'll reference how he interacted with Peter Parker in narration, so, y'know. Referenced desire to murder a teenager, actual violence towards a minor/attempted violence towards other minors, and that's not even covering his disregard for human life in general. ("More casualties, more coverage.")
- I'll also have him be mentioning some events from the MCU that he considers common knowledge, like the events of The Avengers (2012) aka an alien invasion, Avengers: Age of Ultron (killer robots!), Avengers: Infinity War/Endgame (The Blip! Thanos! Superheroes being idiots!) etc., so that may be some wild shit for your character to hear/deal with.
PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Beck's more used to using it as a tool, so if he's trying to ingratiate himself he'll be politely touchy-feely (handshakes, arm around the shoulders, etc). Otherwise, he's like a cat: he'll choose when to initiate, thanks, and probably try to keep a distance. If you know him in a positive way, congrats! He'll either emotionally distance himself so you can't tell if he's fond of you, or he'll be an annoying cat leaning into you. If you spring physical affection on him, he'll probably hiss before potentially leaning into it, or potentially shoving you away. Being vulnerable makes him itch, so it's a trade-off of vulnerability for physical closeness he hasn't had in a decent while.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Oh, please. Kick this man's ass, he talks himself into a fight almost all the time. He'll try to talk himself out of a situation, but probably end up adding fuel to the fire. He will also 100% throw hands if angry. All I ask is that you tell me what you got in mind first, especially for anything with long-term consequences. If I say in a tag Quentin is open for an action like being kicked, for example, feel free to take the opportunity to kick him within reason.
RELATIONSHIPS: He's not actively interested in one, but wouldn't say no if someone caught his attention. If our characters click, sure! I'm willing to kick it around and talk. Also, I feel like I shouldn't have to say this, but he's an adult. He's interested in other adults, don't make it weird.
PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: Please ask before, thank you. Otherwise, his mind feels like something constantly in motion, and very slippery with pockets of anger, clarity, etc that bubble up through the tangled mess of other emotions. Things tend to overlap.
MAGICAL INFORMATION: Despite appearances, he's got no magical connections.
MEDICAL INFORMATION: Normally I tend to take him from the fight on the London Bridge, so either he has some minor facial wounds from shattering glass early in the fight, or has some gunshot wounds in the torso/shoulder area that have to be treated from the end of it. Otherwise, he's entirely human.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: For Quentin? The Blip is something he has big opinions about, as is Stark Industries/Tony Stark. Both never fail to leave him some degree of volatile, be it snapping and snarling or feeling off-balance in a Not Fun way. The loss of his own autonomy/inability to make choices for himself will also set him off, because if he isn't in control, that means things are not how they should be. Besmirch his efforts/work or ruin his plans, and he'll pop the fuck off. He'll tend to react with anger/lash out in order to hide the fact he's scared, or has realized he's losing control of a situation.

OUT OF CHARACTER
BACKTAGGING: Always!
THREADHOPPING: I'm down to play with that, but it may take me a minute to find my footing.
FOURTHWALLING: No, but I'm willing to talk about it! I tend to play Quentin as familiar with some American pop culture, so if you want him to fourth-wall your character, I'm down to play ball. Otherwise, I'll do my best to avoid any fourth-walling.
NOT INTERESTED IN:
-Sexual violence/assault.
-Dragging on a tag for way too long. If you wanna reach out to discuss wrapping things up, I am more than down to do that. If it's not fun, then what's the point?

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
VISUAL: Fresh from canon, here's his vibe. Then here's a full-body from behind. Now here's the minor degree he'd look messed up face-wise, which is some general scratches.
Otherwise, he's 5' 10, around 39 years of age, blue eyes, brown hair and beard that are relatively styled. Even if he's in ill-fitting or borrowed clothes, he'll just use them to add to whatever act/character he's putting on and change his demeanor accordingly.
AURAL: One of my favorite clips, ngl, of the Mysterio reveal scene. It captures his bastard energy so well.
OLFACTORY:Smugness, bastard juice Honestly, probably a general level of sweat, some level of cologne (sandalwood maybe?), otherwise very neat and clean and non-offensive to the nose.
DEMEANOR:
Usually very self-confident and assured, a little cocky at first glance. Quentin comes off as somebody who's never been uncomfortable in his life, or self-conscious. He'll play at politeness but eventually start sliding in some dismissive words, or purposefully say something to grate on somebody else's nerves. When his self-confidence has been shaken, he'll either lash out to cover up that shake-up, or try to flip the conversation on whoever he's talking to so the focus is off of him. It'll take time for him to even accept the thought of being emotionally vulnerable/open with somebody else, and he'll hiss and spit the entire time. Once he's latched onto you, though, he may be an asshole but he's your asshole now. Congrats on your new feral bastard!
He's also the kind of guy who would more than happily play a 'pity me, my poor poor self' act, and make himself seem pitiful/weak if it meant getting what he wants. So, please take note, he will play social chameleon in service to his own wants and desires. He may not like it, but he'll do it and put on an act. I gesture to his little super hero persona as Mysterio for an example of that.
