first impressions
VISUAL: His splash art! He's pretty tall, standing at around 188cm and has a muscular build befitting of his status as a greatsword user. His hair is snow white (hence the nickname Snowy) in a boyish cut with a prominent ahoge. His eyes are blue with yellow pupils, although sometimes they shine gold under certain conditions. Has One Good outfit that's basically the heroic knight-looking ensemble you see in his art. Otherwise his choice of casual wear is horrible, filled with mismatched colors and pieces that just don't make sense together.
DEMEANOR: The kind that makes you go "he's main character-ish." Friendly and approachable, he'll be the type to greet a stranger with a smile on his face. Would stand out from a crowd with his presence. The only straight thing about him is his posture. He may be rarely caught with a pensive and distant look on his face, especially when he thinks he's alone.
VOICE: He has several voice actors, but I primarily reference his VAs in English (Joshua Waters) and Japanese (Satoshi Hino). It's very boyish, unless he's being angry or being cold, and then it goes on a lower register.
CONTENT WARNINGS: Fantasy-typical violence, self-sacrificial tendencies, death and murder. In-depth interactions may include identity dissonance and elements of psychological and existential horror.

Do not interact with me if you use generative AI in your icons or writing, etc.
TIMEZONE: GMT+8, but I typically do tags on the early mornings or afternoons.
CONTACT: The best way to contact me would be through PM or through
TAGGING SPEED: I try to reply as soon as I can, but I typically respond between 1-7 days. Expect me to be slower on the weekends because my IRL tends to get hectic at those days. Feel free to toss me a PM if I go on longer than that!
TAGGING STYLE: I default to brackets, but I don't mind switching to prose if that is your preference! Usually I would match styles.
BACKTAGGING: Yes, please! I have my own slow moments so I understand. Feel free to take forever in responding back, although I would appreciate a heads up if a tag takes more than two months - otherwise I would consider that thread dropped.
THREADHOPPING: Please ask first before you do this. Typically I will say yes, especially on text threads, but I appreciate the heads up so I won't get caught off guard by it.
FOURTH-WALLING: No. If you're from Honkai Impact 3rd (or Welt) you may comment on his similarities to Kevin Kaslana, but otherwise I'd rather avoid this.

MIND-READING: Ask first! He doesn't have any guards against mind-reading, but I would like to know before it happens anyway. There's a lot going on through his mind that isn't obvious beyond the surface, and going into detail would mean delving into spoiler territory.
MANIPULATION: Yes, but we're going to have to talk about it. He's good at reading people and their intentions so manipulating him is pretty difficult, although not impossible. I'd rather get the details straight to ensure the characterization is right.
HUGGING: Yes. Titans know he really needs those. He's also someone who frequently does platonic touches in general, so you can expect him to return such affections.
KISSING: Ask first! It's not something I'm comfortable with happening out of the blue, and I might reject the idea if the mood doesn't seem appropriate. Phainon himself is fine with it, but not exactly because he enjoys kissing: he's someone who would reciprocate if it is expected of him.
FLIRTING: Yes. He's an accidental flirt himself - he knows his preferences and isn't shy about saying it. He's also used to receiving them, but he might brush them off in stride.
VIOLENCE: Yes, he's a fighter himself and he does enjoy sparring with others. Generally he would only fight with his sword, but he's not afraid to use the full extent of his abilities against greater threats.
INJURIES: Please ask first for serious injuries, especially if they are permanent and would affect further portrayals of my character. Otherwise you're free to try and wound him.
KILLING: Ask first! He's used to dying, but it's not a subject that I would treat lightly. I would like to discuss it beforehand, and it has to make sense.

I roleplay Phainon as pansexual with a slight preference towards men. He has no canon age, but I assume and thus roleplay him to be in his mid to late-20s. He's a switch and would typically prioritize his partner's preferences over his own. Kink list is over here.
21+ when it comes to shipping, although I don't mind younger characters with RPers I have known for quite a while.
FAVES: Mydei, Trailblazer (m or f), Phainon/Phaicest, Nanook
YES: Anaxa, Cyrene, Lygus, Dan Heng, anyone I have not listed. Open to cross-canon!
NO: Tribbie, child characters in general whether it's physical or mental.
