OOC PREFERENCES:
•CONTACT METHOD: My plurk here @ eliotsatelier. Alternatively discord at eliot_83, or PM this journal.
•THREAD-JACKING: Go for it!
•FOURTH WALLING / CANON PUNCTURE: I don't mind canon spoilers to an extent (maybe save the twin reveal for later) but in terms of being a manga character I'd rather avoid it.
•BACKTAGGING: Yes, no worries. Although if I drop something old please poke me in new things!
•AVOIDED TOPICS:
Generally more a, would rather avoid for the most part than an absolute 100% no:
+ Eye scream
+ Zombies (in too gross detail; I've played from TLOU for example)
+ If linking to something over the top spooky/scary, warn me
+ Anything re: CSA that gets too in-depth
+ I don't know anything about SW and I plan to keep it that way - outside of very common general culture references, I cannot follow a conversation about the canon.

•PREFERRED GENDER PRONOUN: they/them, le/elle.

IC CHARACTERISTICS:
•CURRENT CANON POINT: Chapter 65, the end of the zombie arc.
•PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Short young man, with short blueish tinted hair and blue eyes. His right eye has a magical demon seal on it, and is kept hidden under an eyepatch. He's pretty skinny, pale, and looks pretty weak overall. He has a brand mark on his back that he also tries to keep hidden. Usually soft-spoken and polite, smells like expensive perfumes, dresses in fancy, Extra, old-fashioned clothes, with elaborate suits with shorts and high-heeled shoes. Wears an expensive ring on his thumb that's the family's heirloom and marks him as the Earl.
•DEMEANOR: The impression he'll want to give to most people is of a cute, polite young man. He tries to appear friendly and 'nice' to others at first, mostly trying to get others to lower their guards around him. In reality he's much more cynical, cold and calculating, prideful and fussy. In the game, he's usually irritated by the sheer nature of the situation he's in, so it's harder to come across as sweet and cutesy. He tends to default to a sort of deadpan sarcasm a lot of the time, or plain annoyance.
•ABILITIES: No particular talents beyond being smart and manipulative, but he does have (some) control of the demon Sebastian who is a giant, dangerous godmod.
•MEDICAL INFORMATION: He used to be really sickly as a child, affected with asthma and having regular coughing fits. These days he's much better off, but exposure to cold will trigger fits again. He suffers from major PTSD and will have nightmares and breakdowns if he's triggered enough. He's also allergic to cats.

Note that the PTSD comes from both witnessing the murder of his family, and being kidnapped into a cult where he was subject to starvation and physical, mental and sexual torture (in order to 'taint' his soul). He would certainly not start openly discussing these events, but it could still come up, so let me know if they're too much.
•CABIN INFORMATION: It would resemble his room in his fancy manor.
•OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: In major terms, anything related to child abuse and cults are triggers to him. Anything too crudely sexual and related to depravity and degeneracy is also repulsive to him. On a smaller scale, he dislikes rude people with no manners.

IC PERMISSIONS:
•MENTAL: Yes, but keep in mind Sebastian will go after you.
•MIMICRY: Speaking of triggers... given his twin situation he'd hate it to an irrational level.
•VIOLENCE: If it's a fight against Ciel alone, he'd lose terribly. Again, the Sebastian warning applies.
•MAGIC: Yes. Sebastian warning applies.
•DEBATE: Sure!
•OTHER / NOTES:
Sebastian and Ciel's contract entails the following:
- Sebastian will never lie to Ciel
- Sebastian will follow Ciel's orders (only when expressly said to be an order)
- Sebastian will protect Ciel, no matter what, without ever betraying him
These will be true until the day Ciel manages his revenge. And then Sebastian will eat his soul as a reward.

As a side-note, Ciel can also summon Sebastian from anywhere, using the seal in his eye.
