CHARACTER NAME: Eridan Ampora
CHARACTER SERIES: Homestuck

[OOC]

Backtagging: YES
Threadhopping: YES
Fourthwalling: YES but only if it's funny and doesn't otherwise affect the roleplay
Offensive subjects (elaborate): Mun has no triggers, but jokes about heavy trigger topics such as rape will not be tolerated

[IC]

Hugging this character: YES but he might be really awkward and then expect the same treatment later even if it was a one-off
Kissing this character: YES but he's very pathetic about romance so expect him to be really weird about it. He'll probably kiss back and then expect a relationship out of it he's a jerk sorry
Flirting with this character: YES, but he'll be flustered because he's not used to it. Also, see above
Fighting with this character: YES HE'S AN ASSHOLE PLEASE DON'T BE AFRAID TO FIGHT HIM he brings it on himself anyway most of the time. He will fight back pretty fiercely though
Injuring this character (include limits and severity): YES, he's been literally sawed in half in canon and I'm not personally bothered by grievous injury
Killing this character: YES but only in places where he can come back from the dead like [community profile] heyfreemagic. I want to keep playing this character, you know!!
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: YES but some warning would be appreciated and if you're uncertain as to what your character might find out please ask me directly rather than assuming

Warnings: Eridan is an whiny, violent, underage asshole with romance issues and you can basically equate him to that guy who believes in the friendzone, but other than that he's just a kid and we shouldn't have any dire problems. Contact me if in doubt about anything, I don't bite!

As you may have noticed, Eridan has a somewwhat unusual manner of speech. For the sake of accessibility and/or just because I'm not all about annoying folks, I'm totally happy to turn it off!

If you'd rather Eridan never use courier when conversing with your character, please leave a comment here from each relevant character journal, and I will do my best to avoid courier with you!

>What is it for?
It's a kind of canon tradition that everyone types and speaks in their designated font pattern, or "quirk".

>What does it sound like?
For the most part, it sounds like someone talking normally. However, due to the nature of certain characters' quirks, people headcanon up certain sounds or voices or accents or whatever for them.

Eridan in particular has been confirmed by Andrew Hussie to pronounce his "vv"s (double v's) as "w"s - to go with this, I also personally headcanon him to pronounce his "ww"s (double w's) twice, very quickly and within the flow of the sentence. Easy for him, but kind of ridiculous and hard for most people to emulate, I guess?

You can headcanon him talking however you want. You have full permission to have your character hear him however you want, and react accordingly (within reason of course!). I don't mind the discrepancies, if you don't mind the elephant-in-the-room meta joke we'll have to keep up about it!
