Dr. Thaddeus Sivana

Permissions

☆ Formats: Prose and script style are both welcome, as are past and present tense! Any tag length is also fine just so long as I have enough to work with. I tend to try to match whoever I'm threading with for all of the above.

☆ Backtagging: I am always happy to backtag unto forever! Also if you ever want to pick up a dropped thread, just let me know, odds are it'll be welcome. (If I ever drop a thread and you want to continue, give me a few days and then feel free to poke me!)

☆ Threadhopping/Threadjacking: Always welcome, don't even worry about it.

☆ Fourthwalling: Tentatively yes? I'd rather avoid any characters having knowledge about his actual specific canon! However, I'm absolutely open to characters recognizing Sivana from other DC media they may be familiar with, and for any and all discussions of universal differences between canons.

☆ Infomodding: Do not do this.

☆ Handwaving/Skipping Ahead: I'm totally fine with this! If you ever feel stuck, feel free. I'm also good with fading to black if that situation ever comes up.

☆ Shipping Preferences: Not interested in shipping Sivana with anyone who's not at least 30. Other than that, OTA! Sivana is bi, into men and women and nonbinary people, and is incredibly xeno. He's aware of and comfortable with his sexuality and has been for years. (I mean, outside the xeno part, which he's gotten very comfortable with over the past few months.) I occasionally play him as a trans man. Finally, I'm also very open to poly/multishipping and usually play Sivana as having some kind of Thing with/for Mr. Mind.

☆ Offensive Subjects: I'm more concerned about how subjects are handled than the subjects themselves. I'll make sure to mention if I'm uncomfortable, no worries. :)

☆ Hugging: Sure! If he doesn't know you or you're not on good terms he might be tense about it, but he's not particularly uncomfortable with physical affection even if he doesn't often instigate it except with people he's very close to, and he won't lash out over it unless your character gets creepy about it.

☆ Kissing: Platonic kisses to forehead or cheek are welcome, though if you're not close or are on negative terms he might be tense about it; hand kisses and the like (flirty types of things!) will depend, but he may flirt back. Kisses on the lips will definitely depend on the relationship he has with you; reactions could range from discomfort to reciprocation depending. That said, feel free! Please no kisses anywhere else unless we discuss that first. (Also, please do not have characters under 24 kiss him on the lips, and anyone under 30 he won't be interested.)

☆ Flirting: Feel free! Depending on circumstances, how well he knows you, how much he likes you, how busy or distracted he is, etc., he might let you down, or not notice at all, or he might flirt back. (Again, please no characters under 24, and anyone under 30 he won't be interested.)

☆ Nicknames: Go right ahead! He probably won't mind. He's used to being called Dr. Sivana, Sivana, Thaddeus, or doctor; he's probably been called Tad in the past; he wouldn't mind something like Doc or T.S. Other random nicknames are also fine by me and he will have a reaction somewhere between "no" and amused/fond acceptance, depending. He also won't like it if he tells you not to and you keep pushing it.

☆ Fighting: I'm open to it! Sivana is a surprisingly good fighter for someone who looks like a fairly frail old man; he's got incredible endurance, it's hard to hurt him, and he's getting better and better at powerful magic. Just give me a heads up so we can figure out how things will go, and know that this will most likely leave him at least somewhat wary of you.

☆ Injuring: Sure! Or at least maybe! Again, he's surprisingly difficult to actually hurt. Like the above, talk to me OOC so we can figure something out. Also, ask me before any major injury; I doubt I'll be open to more permanent ones, but otherwise I might go for it, we'll see! This will probably leave him incredibly wary of you at best.

☆ Killing: Mmmaybe. Just hit me up so we can talk about it first. I doubt this is something I'll want to do often and it'd probably be pretty hard to do as well. This will also leave him with both a huge grudge against you and possibly traumatized by you, so. There's that!

☆ Mind Reading: Sure! Talk to me and I'll be able to tell you what you can find in there, or make it clear that's what your character's doing in the thread and I'll try to let you know in a tag back. Sivana might not be happy if he finds out you are/were doing this without his permission, though, and he's somewhat likely to give permission if you do ask.

☆ Mind Control: Maybe! Depends on what you want to have him do, but while Sivana won't be happy about it no matter what (and Mr. Mind probably won't be happy either), I'm open to the possibility. Contact me and we can chat about it.

☆ Other Magic: Anything that doesn't fall into the above options, just ask me and I'll probably be cool with it! How Sivana reacts will depend on what it is, of course. It's also possible for your character to try some magic and Sivana to counterspell it if you want to play with something like that, too!
