Temporary Permissions (will be elaborated and spit-shined up later)


Breq comes from a people who have no gendered pronouns in their language, and no concept of gender amoungst their people. As a result, internally she defaults to the english "she" when referring to individuals. When speaking with people not of her people, she must rely on cultural and social cues which vary from group to group to guess at gender, and often guesses wrong. She'll use the correct pronouns once she is corrected, or someone points out that she has been mistaken. Politeness is important to her, but gender is a difficult concept for her.

If you are uncomfortable out of character with either her internalised or externalised misgendering of your character for whatever reason, please let me know....it is something I can easily handwave away in respect of people's OOC comfort!

Here's an opt-in post, that you can fill out if you'd like things to go one way or the other!  Thank you!

<b>Would it be okay for Breq to internally misgender your character?</b> In this case your character wouldn't know; she would just use her default feminine pronouns. <b>Would it be okay for her to verbally misgender your character?</b> Since cultural markers such as clothing, hair, make up, color choices, etc are different in place to place, and many cultures are sufficiently advanced that biology is also no indication, Breq's gender identification is usually a pure guess. And she often guesses wrong. It usually marks her as a foreigner where she is from, and to the astute, an ancillary, who are notoriously incapable of identifying gender. She can easily be corrected, and will switch to whatever pronouns she is corrected to.
 

If you have any specific needs/wants/feelings/questions regarding this, please feel free to message me directly!

➺  ＩＣ． ➺ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Fine, although it may not be reciprocated.  Breq will accept whatever affections are considered the social norm for the person giving it, but may or may not be inclined or ever know how to respond to that.  Basic hugging, touching, are all generally fine. ➺ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Scenario specific, but generally okay.  Breq is capable and durable so your character is welcome to start a fight.  Serious injury will be difficult to inflict, and she isn't as affected by it as an average human.  Any permanent or semi-permanent (extremely long lasting), let's discuss, but for the most part, violence away! ➺ RELATIONSHIPS: Relationships of all kinds, are somewhat troubled water with Breq.  She's not particularly inclined (possibly not capable) to romance, and even her friendships may take somewhat atypical form.  That said, she does grow fond of others, and can definitely have a variety of both positive and negative relationships with people. ➺ MENTAL INFORMATION:  ➺ MEDICAL INFORMATION:  Appears and IS a normal human, although she has muscular and skeletal enhancements that make her a bit stronger,faster and more durable than an average human.  She also has a number of implants for communication and left over from her days as an Ancillary proper.  Most are inactive, although notably she has one for communication and one for armor. ➺ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: None

➺ ＯＯＣ． ➺ PLAYER: Sam! ➺ PREFERRED CONTACT: nonvieta ➺ BACKTAGGING: Fine by me! ➺ THREADHOPPING: Also fine by me, as long as everyone involved is okay with it as well! ➺ FOURTHWALLING: Soft no, but you can always ask ➺ ACTION VS PROSE: I personally enjoy both! I'm generally fine with whichever you prefer, though! ➺ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: No specific triggers, as long as anything that would generally be considered OOC to be blanket-offensive or hateful is handled respectfully and remains strictly IC. ➺ YES/NO SCENARIOS: YES/NOs for me GENERALLY follow the above guideline, with a few exceptions, that I feel no reason to list because we probably won't be associating if they are things you are interested in playing. I'm always a 'just ask me' sort - I'd rather have a discussion than make a list! ➺ ANYTHING ELSE? Nothing specific, just a note that when in doubt, feel free to ask! I'll never be upset/offended by merely asking (the opposite really), whether it's something big or minor. I'm pretty easy-going about RP matters on the whole. Likewise, if you have any specific requests/concerns on your end you want me to know about don't hesitate!
