ACTIVE TIMES/PACE: Central Time; irregular hours. I have several health issues, and some days I can't tag at all. If I haven't tagged back in a while and you want to make sure I got the tag or am still planning to return it, feel free to poke me.
STYLE: No preference between brackets or prose; prefer present tense, but will match past. I sometimes have trouble keeping up with text threads for long unless they switch to in-person.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: No gore in picture prompts, no graphic descriptions of gore in tags; no eye trauma; no insects.

OUT OF CHARACTER
BACKTAGS/SLOWTIME: ✓ (there is no "too old")
ASSUMED CR: ✓ (pms are open for discussion)
MULTIPLE THREADS: ✓
FAKE GAME SETTING/UNIVERSE CLASHES: ✓
DEFAULT SETTING: Modern day American, somewhere big enough to have a pretty good college nearby but not necessarily big city; supernatural world with the masquerade very firmly in place.
OTHER NOTES: Isaac's sister, Imogene, is written by the same player. By default they live across the country from one another, largely to make developing CR without forcing interaction with both easier; however, if you've tagged with one, especially regularly, please feel free to hit up the other with the assumption it's taking place in the same universe, I'm always here for that.

IN CHARACTER
PHYSICAL AFFECTION: ✓
He'll probably be jumpy if you take him completely off-guard, because he's used to being on defense. Barring that, it's not something he minds, and probably something he needs; aside from the odd visits from his sister, he basically gets none, at least from non-ghosts. Add seven years alone and the outcome is he is significantly more touch-starved than he realizes. Once he gets comfortable with someone, he's pretty likely to seek it out more.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: ✓
He fights dirty and prioritizes survival -- he'll run if he feels like it's more likely than winning. Isaac's harder to damage than a standard human, but can definitely be beaten. No formal training, but a lot of life-or-death experience.
MINDREADING/PSYCHIC ABILITIES: ✓
There's no way for him to be aware of anyone in his head. His thoughts are a bit jumbled, generally images more than words, and there's a constant running surveillance for danger in the back of his head. He might be able to notice certain other psychic abilities, particularly those that mimic living things; hit me up to discuss if something might go that way.
MEDICAL INFORMATION: Heartbeat is significantly slower than normal, to a point that would likely be read as dangerous. He reads as perpetually iron and vitamin deficient, though it doesn't seem to cause any symptoms. Has strange scars in a lot of places due to fighting weird death plane things. His body doesn't have typical human needs in many ways anymore; more information under abilities.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Isaac's touched by a lot of death things, and talks very bluntly about death and grief if it comes up. His social norms are questionable, and he may push boundaries, though he'll back off if told. He also forgot large chunks of his pre-death-plane life and has some grief and issues around that, so memory issue triggers may come up. It's not very hard to set his fight-or-flight off, but as topics go, he's pretty hard to offend or embarrass; he'll argue if someone's being cruel about his sister or any close friends, but that's about it.

RELATIONSHIPS
PLATONIC: ✓
He has boundary and social issues, but he's working on it. He'd like to make friends and he's fairly open to it, he's just still trying to remember how to exist among people. He also can not only see ghosts but touch them, and feels a little more comfortable around them, especially if they've been dead for a while -- they tend to understand his weirdness a little better, though that's not universal.
NEGATIVE: ✓
He's a little jumpy and paranoid after fighting for his life for seven years. It's entirely possible to set him off. It's also definitely possible for him to say something insensitive and piss other people off.
SHIPPING: ✓
He hasn't really explored his sexuality at all since coming back; he's sort of aware he dated before, but that's about it. No strong preferences towards gender. He's going to be kind of unsure about it, so if the pace is left to him it's going to crawl. He also sucks at reading or giving signals, so somebody's probably going to have to make it very clear they're interested. Also very interested in relationships with ghosts or death-beings.

IDEAS AND WANTS
◾ Friendships with death-beings, undead people, ghosts, etc. He's not actually a death-thing himself, but he's spent so long close to the death plane that he's more at home with them than anything else.
◾ Friendships with semi-normal humans willing to deal with his uncertain attempts at being a person again.
◾ "Canonically", he stays with the local psychopomp to get his bearings back after being returned. I'd love to PSL with other people stepping into that role, especially other death-types or very experienced supernatural types.
◾ Tiny Isaac before he lost his memories was a humongous music and tech nerd and I am down for anything about him rediscovering that side of himself.
◾ Playing with weird power and body change things about his time in the death realm. Blood-feeding threads, accidentally emotionally fucking with people, sensing people are dying, talking about his scars, something about him barely sleeping, getting hurt and having issues because meds don't work well on him, etc.
◾ Getting to know other people who did the weird "go somewhere people aren't supposed to be and survive it for a while, then come back" dance and are now adjusting, or have adjusted previously. Also here for either AUs or post-return shenanigans where he's stuck somewhere else with someone, or someone else is in the death realm with him.
◾ Partners in doing stupid things to keep occupied and active because sitting around too much is unnerving. Or people who help him get out of messes of his own making, either one.
