↬ Back-Tagging
Yes!
↬ Thread-Hopping
ALWAYS. You don't even have to ask. If you want to, slam into that thread.
↬ Comments in the Subject Line
Sure!
↬ Fourth Wall Breakage
Bartimaeus regularly 'talks' to the reader in the series. Feel free to go for whatever. I love it, personally.
↬ Offensive Topics
Nothing comes to mind. I'll let you know if something bothers me more than I thought.
↬ Anything Else?
Nothing!
IC
↬ Hugging
He will turn into something repulsive. In other words, feel free.
↬ Kissing
SAME AS ABOVE.
↬ Flirting
There will be so much mockery.
↬ Fighting
Bartimaeus will probably run away, lets be real.
↬ Injuring
OF COURSE! (you will need magic, cold iron or silver to do it, though)
↬ Killing
Not off the table, but definitely something we'd need to plot.
↬ Telepathy
SURE! He'll actually be pretty fine with telepathy. That sort of oneness is natural to spirits in his world. Please be aware the Bartimaeus does that thing we do where he narrates his life as it's happening. Including helpful footnotes. Feel free to be able to ICly read those.
↬ Magic
Oh yes. AGAIN. He will probably run away as a first line of response, but magic battles can totally happen.
↬ Triggers
Breaking of trust/vows. Being called a demon. Talking about Ptolemy.
↬ Anything Else?
SEE BELOW.
Which leaves me to the opt ins!
For Human(oid)s
Bartimaeus is a djinni of no little power that can be summoned and commanded by the use of his true name. He wont be going by his true name in any game, but ... he's fairly horrible at hiding it, too. That said, a magician that knows their way around summoning wards, or have any sort of cross canon demon binding/summoning/commanding powers. Bartimaeus will be absolutely susceptible.
Can your character summon, ward, bind, or control spirits?
Do you mind Bartimaeus sensing a 'magician's smell' on your character?
Are you interested in a spirit being a pranking nuisance up to deadly force in your character's life? To what degree?
What kind of wonderful/terrible things would you like to get up to? I'm so happy to help brainstorm here.
For Spirits
Bartimaeus is much more happy with spirits than he is with anything else. Particularly weak spirits and ghosts, Bartimaeus just, you know, sometimes considers the virtues of a snack on the go. Nothing personal, sometimes you just need a pick-me-up.
Is your character a demon/spirit/ghost/djinn?
Do you mind Bartimaeus sensing that/seeing true forms?
Can your character see true forms?
Is your character tasty? Asking for a friend.
