❧ First Impressions

❱ VISUAL: Ginko is a somewhat gangly Japanese boy of around fifteen years old (though, thanks to his demeanor and slight build, he’s easily mistaken for being younger). He has very pale skin and shaggy, silver-white hair that typically covers his left eye, while his right eye is bright blue-green.. Ginko’s nose is a little big for his face, and his jaw is just barely starting to square off as he gets older.
❱ AURAL: Most of the time, Ginko speaks very softly; he usually enunciates pretty clearly, but can start to mumble and drop syllables when he gets nervous (which is often). His inflection tends to be fairly flat, bordering on monotone, unless he’s getting particularly emotional.
❱ OLFACTORY: Somehow, this kid always smells like dirt. Not as in he smells bad, he just… smells like literal dirt, and usually trees. He smells like a little forest gnome.
❱ DEMEANOR: Ginko is a pretty reserved, nervous kid, and his body language tends to communicate that pretty clearly. His posture isn’t the greatest, and he tends to pull at his sleeves and hem or put his hands in his pockets when he gets nervous. Really, in general, he gets uncomfortable if he’s not doing anything with his hands, and can handle this through anything from fidgeting with his clothes to just putting his hands all over whatever trees or walls or random objects might be around him. Definitely not people, though. He’s not used to touching or being touched by people, and will either draw away from or freeze up at contact.

❧ IC Permissions

❱ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: As previously stated, he may not respond well, especially not if he doesn’t know you. He probably won’t respond violently, but freezing up or pulling away are likely.
❱ HUGGING: Meet your new friend, Log Boy, who is a log and therefore cannot move or respond, sorry, have a nice day. In other words Ginko does not know what the hell to do with hugs and will probably just freeze.
❱ FLIRTING: Chances are it’ll go over his head.
❱ RELATIONSHIPS: I mean. He’s kind of socially stunted so like, if you’re around the right age, maybe? But not likely.
❱ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Go right ahead if you want, but Ginko can’t fight at all, so now you’re just… beating up a terrified child. Good job.
❱ KILLING: Talk to me first, but usually I’d rather not.
❱ PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: Contact me first! This boy is a mess of depression and self-esteem problems and has some upsetting shit in his past, so.
❱ MAGICAL INFORMATION: There isn’t a WHOLE lot going on with Ginko magically to be honest? An unknown quality about him attracts mushi, and he can see in the dark thanks to a past mushi encounter. There’s also a mushi in his left eye socket, which may show up since it’s technically a second life-form occupying his body.
❱ MEDICAL INFORMATION: Though he’s in alright condition these days, Ginko has a history of malnourishment, as well as having a number of scars on his back and legs. His left ankle and foot have been broken before, and he’s gone through a number of mushi infections. Also, you know. He’s missing an eye.
❱ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Ginko has been emotionally abused and physically attacked by adults on numerous occasions in the past, and is still slightly wary of anyone significantly older than him. He’s also got some pretty bad self-esteem problems and occasionally shows suicidal tendencies.

❧ OOC Permissions

❱ BACKTAGGING: I will backtag basically forever, or until I need to cut down on my number of threads so I don’t overwhelm myself.
❱ THREADHOPPING: As long as other people involved are also cool with it, go for it!
❱ FOURTHWALLING: No, thanks.
❱ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: If you don’t put any photos of mummies in your tag, we’re probably good.
❱ ANYTHING ELSE? Ginko’s canon and backstory deal with a significant amount of eye/body horror, as well as child abuse and attempted suicide. Let me know if you want to avoid any or all of that!
