Frankenstein's Monster

PLAYER

NAME: GladHatter
CONTACT: Ask for Discord if needed
ACTIVE TIMES/PACE: Inconsistent due to sleep disorder
BRACKETS/PROSE: Prose preferred but I'll use brackets if everyone else is.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Animal suffering and death, unsanitary or disgusting situations around food and sex; warn for abuse by parental or authority figures. Don't be a bigot OOC.

IN CHARACTER

PHYSICAL AFFECTION: He has a lot of baggage about this, but it's fine to try
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Feel free to start fights, but be aware that he'll never willingly associate with you again once you've been violent towards him. He also fights dirty, and if you've earned his hatred he will likely start coming after the people you love.
RELATIONSHIPS: Open to them in theory, but he is absolutely not expecting them and will, again, have a lot of baggage about it. He is equally attracted to all genders, and has no concept of any one person being less beautiful than another - to him, every living being is a paragon of glorious perfection he could never aspire to.
PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: Fine to use psychic powers or mind reading on him. He has no psychic abilities or defenses. His mind is, to all intents and purposes, a completely human one, if you ignore the contents of his memories.
MAGICAL INFORMATION: Has no magical abilities or defenses against them. If your character has some kind of affinity with or senses directed towards the undead, he may or may not register as one of them; he is mostly a reanimated corpse, but was brought to life with science rather than magic, and contains a new soul.
MEDICAL INFORMATION: He's an eight foot tall amalgamation of dead human and animal tissue sewn together by a man who barely understood basic human anatomy and animated in defiance of god and nature. Any amount of weirdness might be going on in there. Notably most of his digestive system is that of some large herbivore, probably a cow or other farm animal, as he can't digest meat. His skin is also transparent somehow, making it upsettingly easy to see what's going on underneath.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: He will react to any form of fear or hostility in kind, and especially hates the universal perception humans from his own world have that he's monstrous and dangerous. Anything that reminds him of specific poor treatment he's received in the past, or the ways he's responded to it, which he now regrets, is likely to be especially upsetting.
For those interacting with him, expect him to bring up subjects of abuse and neglect by a parental figure, as well as persecution and prejudice. He is also a murderer who has killed multiple people, including a child, and framed another person for one of his murders.

OUT OF CHARACTER

BACKTAGGING: Yes
THREADHOPPING: Ask first
FOURTHWALLING: Yes
NOT INTERESTED IN: Interacting with players or characters who will refuse to acknowledge his monstrousness and wrongdoing. Choosing to look past it is one thing, and I know some characters genuinely might not be bothered or have seen weirder, but he is a frightening being who has done terrible things, and that is a core part of his narrative and struggle. If you're going to pretend he isn't, we're just not going to have many productive interactions.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

VISUAL: "How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe, or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care I had endeavoured to form? His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful! Great God! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colour as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shrivelled complexion and straight black lips."
The Creature is eight feet tall and built to a classical Greek ideal of muscular beauty. However, his skin is stiff, translucent, and dry, looking more like vellum or parchment than living skin, and his bones, muscles, and organs can be clearly seen through it. The anatomy made visible this way also appears strangely asymmetrical, as though parts of his musculature are similarly invisible and expose things that should be hidden beneath. The overall tone of his flesh is unhealthily sallow and pale, with noticeable spots of blue-black lividity, as though there isn't enough blood in his system or it isn't flowing freely enough.
AURAL: He moves surprisingly quietly for his size; he has a lot of experience trying to remain unnoticed, and often either accidentally or on purpose sneaks up on people. While fluent in multiple languages, he speaks with a noticeable French accent in all of them.
OLFACTORY: He is clean and fastidious, and there's nothing overtly unpleasant enough in his scent to drive anyone away on that alone. However if you spend enough time around him or have an especially sensitive sense of smell, you may start to notice a faint smell like a recently dead body.
DEMEANOUR: Barely suppressed rage. Overwhelming grief. He thinks a lot and speaks infrequently, and when he does it has the sense of a dam breaking from the weight of feeling behind it. He looks at everyone like he expects them to attack him (and, often, as though he's contemplating whether to beat them to it,) and moves like he's trying not to harm the earth by leaving his footprints on it.
