character info

Hello to all psychics, angels and what-have-you! Daniel here suffers from hallucinations, which started benign enough, have gotten a little bit bad, and will be worsening drastically as his life gets more and more violent. Feel free to notice this if that's something you can do!

If I describe a hallucination in a thread, what he sees will be in white font for your convenience.

Continuing to call anyone with fancy extra perceptions! Daniel is canonically "tainted" or "branded" by a horrible curse that he accidentally unleashed because he's a moron. There's some kind of nasty black mark on his soul and while its effects aren't thoroughly defined, it's noticeable if you have the means to notice it.

The curse thing that's locked onto Daniel is called the Shadow. It's pretty much an awful ancient god-monster that howls a lot and likes to troll Daniel by growing meat at him.

If you have any questions go ahead and ask here!

Okay true life confessions, Daniel is an early Victorian and wants to be one of the cool kids, so he has some pretty terrible opinions on race and women and sexuality and [the list continues for eight thousand pages]

SO I won't be going so far as to write slurs in his tags because no. And I won't be pushing this stuff into every thread for the sake of being edgy. But Daniel has a lot of bigoted opinions and assumptions that were only challenged mildly or not at all in the time and place that he's from, so there is the potential for bigotry in the way he acts towards people or talks about them.

If this idea is uncomfortable for you, comment here and bigotry will not occur!

(Since this is part of his character, as opposed to something like canon puncturing that's easy to just not write, it'd be great if we could come up with a workaround together. Eg if you don't want him side-eyeing your character's gay relationship, we might agree to have the subject not come up.)
