☄ Basics ♚ AGE: Squall is 17-18 in his canonverse. He's 25 in KHverse, and around 18-19 in the majority of misc. verses. I'll age him up without any issue if the situation or AU calls for it. ♚ VERSE: Canonverse, KHverse, Dissidiaverse, modern day AUs and anything else that comes to mind are options. I'm not picky. As for theories: yes to Rinoa = Ultimecia, no to Squall = dead. ♚ HISTORY: Here. ☄ First Impressions ♚ VISUAL: Squall stands at approximately 5 foot 10. His trademark scar, which starts at his forehead and cuts across the bridge of his nose, is likely the first thing a person will notice. He is, according to the memes, notably handsome — in all seriousness, he's got distinctly masculine features with a pronounced dash of pretty boy. His physique is that of a swimmer's with a smidge of an emphasis on his shoulders and pectorals. That aside, his expressions are more on the awkward side, and his posture tends to be stiff and taut. His body language ranges from withdrawn to downright clumsy, but he's desperate to project the cool guy aura most of the time. ♚ SOUND: He's voiced by David Boreanaz in English and Hideo Ishikawa in Japanese. Squall's voice is usually on the deeper side, stoic, and not lacking in a brusque edge to it. ♚ MENTAL HEALTH: Not great. Squall is in simple terms, a child soldier. He's been socialized to do nothing but fight, was rejected and abandoned time and time again from a young age, has suffered from a series of traumatic incidents and struggles to connect with people. His sense of personhood is rooted in his work and his ability to trust others is in the gutter. He's skittish, insecure and humble at his core. He often defaults to silence. If you're looking to do anything involving his headspace, drop me a line because there's a lot going on there. ♚ POWERS: There's a lot happening here. ☄ OOC ♚ BACKTAGGING: Yes, please. I backtag to hell and back myself. ♚ FOURTHWALLING: It depends. In a serious context, no. ♚ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: I'm all for it. He's not, so expect a negative reaction on his end. He's easily overwhelmed, even if he likes you. ♚ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: The guy lives to fight — and to the detriment of his wellbeing at that. He specializes in the gunblade, which is basically an electric sword or as my username says, a swordgun. Fighting is the norm for him and I accept it with open arms. Injuries are fine, but death will need to be discussed with me prior. ♚ RELATIONSHIPS: I'm down for both m/f and m/m, 0 preference for one over the other. My ship preference is with Rinoa naturally, but I'm up for exploring with other canonmates (Ultimecias, for example, would be loved). Other Final Fantasy characters are a joy too, and crosscanon especially is encouraged. He works best with outgoing, nurturing types who are willing to bring him out of his shell and persist in their attempts to get to know him.  ♚ CONTENT WARNINGS: While it's unlikely due to how reserved Squall is, PTSD, depression, anxiety, suicide ideation, normalized violence and dehumanization are all topics that have the capacity to crop up. Feel free to comment on this post if you'd like to opt out playing with him or these particular subjects! ☄ Player info ♚ TIME ZONE: EST! I tend to tag in the evening. ♚ CONTACT: I don't use plurk much these days so you can PM me here.
