• contact info loyalwolf; loyalwolf#3540 @ discord; HMD
• timezone US/EST; GMT-5
• tag style I prefer prose, but will match brackets if that's your preference; usually mid-to-long tags with lots of introspection interspersed with some occasional quick/short ones to move things along when necessary.
• tag frequency Usually try to clear my inbox once a day, but it's not a hard standard I hold myself to. Sometimes I tag more, sometimes less, sometimes I can only manage one or a few specific threads, or I may even not tag at all during the week; boomeranging & free on the weekends.
• backtagging ✔️ Forever and until it's done or we've lost steam on the whole thing.
• handwaving ✔️ I am always here to handwave things. Whether it's that our characters get coffee every Wednesday afternoon or just "lost motivation on this thread, handwave?" stuff, hmu, let me know, I won't mind at all!
• threadhopping ➖ Network: Always, unless marked private.

  Logs: Ask first.

• fourthwalling ➖ If you're recognizing him from the in-universe comics and merch that's fine; not into the whole "you're on a tv show" part of fourthwalling, though.
• off-limits ❌ I don't write smut, and I am not good at writing out action-y fight scenes.

IC Permissions

Yes ✔️ Varies ➖ No ❌

• physical contact ✔️
• mental contact ➖ Ask first, as a rule. Klaus would probably be pretty susceptible to this sort of thing.
• magic contact ➖ Ask first, but it will probably be okay; if your character could sense he's got Some Kind Of Ability about him, that is always 100% fine to go with (just don't auto-assume the specifics of the ability please).
• fighting/injury ✔️ I will generally handwave these sorts of scenes, as I am not great at writing them out, but if he gets in a fight, he's not coming out of it too great. His training is rusty (but he can defend himself).
• death ❌ Not a 100% hard no, but more than not, I'm not looking for that kind of thing.
• shipping ✔️ Hit me. I can ship him with almost anyone, if the chemistry is right.

Other

• powers and abilities Mediumship: He can speak to, see, and otherwise interact with the dead/ghosts

  Spirit Evocation: He can call on spirits and make them a sort of solid/visible to others

  Spirit Vessel: Ghosts can possess him, whether he's willing or not; he's very susceptible to possessions.

  *Levitation: He has the ability to hover/float/move in the air unassisted.

  * I reserve this power largely for PSLs or other places I mix comics/tv canon.

• opt out If you would like to opt-out of anything listed here, or if you just don't want to tag with Klaus at all, let me know in a comment below, along with which characters/journals are yours.
