⇓in character⇓
PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Sure. You just better hope Scarlett is into you before you go that route or you may lose a limb. Shes unlikely to react badly to a hug or other forms of phsyical contact in the violent sense, but she will be a tad awkward because she's had minimal experience with casual physical affection growing up.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Yes please? Scarlett tends to hit first ask questions later. If you surprise her? She will come back swinging. If you touch her while she is sleeping to wake her up, you will end up with a knife at your throat. I not only expect violence when it comes to her but I encourage it.
ROMANCE/FLIRTING: Scarlett will both flirt and flirt back but when it comes to relationships? She tries to keep things on a superficial level. She'll have sex with somebody and then try to diminish the encounter by saying she's 'just blowing off steam'. Forging a real and lasting connection with Scarlett will take some development.
SEXUAL CONTENT: Sex isn't a problem for Scarlett (or me as a writer). It's 'The Feels' she struggles with.
PSYCHIC ABILITIES: She has none... unless you consider getting creepy visions from a crusty old Vampire who is basically Alucard, psychic? Feel free to use yours on her though, I'm sure that will be a pleasant experience for you.
SKILLS/ABILITIES/NERFING:
Enhanced Hearing: Scarlett has the ability to hear things humans can't. Can be greatly strengthened through the drinking of blood. I.E Scarlett could hear Axel's heart beating while she was 50 feet away and he was buried underground. After consuming blood, Vanessa could hear his heart beating while they were a mile away in a car.
Improved Dexterity: Quicker reflexes and generally faster than a human and can be made more so through the drinking of blood.
Enhanced Strength: Stronger than a human and can be made stronger through the drinking of blood. - One of 'The Sisters' says that she's strong, even for a Van Helsing, when fighting her.
Enhanced Sight/Night Vision: She can see in the dark and appears to be able to see clearly at greater distances than the average human. Nerfing: No Night Vision.
Rapid Cellular Regeneration: It allows her to heal from any injury near instantaneously. Nerfing: She still heals faster than the average person but not near fatal wounds instantly. Cuts and scrapes are instant healing. Penetrating wounds, or severe illness will take far longer for her to recover.
Reversion (Vampire-to-Human): Scarlett's bite and blood are capable of reverting vampires back into humans and rendering them immune to being turned again. Restored vampires blood tastes revolting to Vampires. Nerfing: While there is no nerfing in play, I'm happy to have some in between on this for Vampires that are not from the Van Helsing world. IE. A bite from her will revert them for several hours. Her blood will revert them for several days. Alternatively, we can go with Perma-cure.
Bond: It appears that anyone turned human by Vanessa, now shares a bond with her. They can feel her in a way, something best described as a low hum and they share the visions she is sent by The Elder. Vanessa and Scarlett appear to have a similar kind of bond, though theirs existed before they reunited for the first time since childhood, even if Scarlett didn't understand what it was. We have no way of knowing if the bond goes both ways, but Scarlett said she could no longer 'feel' Vanessa after she was shot in Se02 Ep10. There's also no canon evidence to suggest that those turned by Scarlett are bonded to her in the same way, but this may be revealed in future canon. The extent of this bond has yet to be explored, either.
Animalistic Ferocity: N.B. This is listed as one of Vanessa's abilities/weakness on the Wikia but it's worth noting that we do see flickers of this in Scarlett, though never to the degree that is shown in Vanessa: When under attack, Vanessa has been known to go into animal-like state. When she is attacked, backed into a corner or feels threatened in any way, the rage overcomes her to the point that she loses control. Note: If you're familiar with DnD? It's basically the Rage class ability.
Combat Scarlett is seen to have trained in mixed martial arts. She is known to be adept at using the following weapons: Katana, Firearms, Bowie Knife, Dagger, Saber, Crossbow, Throwing Stars. One can assume she's confident in a variety of others as her entire life has been about learning how to fight Vampires.
Survival Skills Her family were seen to be Doomsdayers. Scarlett was raised preparing for The Rising as if it were inevitable and has managed to survive on her own without going into hiding for the past three years. She says in Se02 Ep06 that she was trained in Hunting, Killing, Traps, Combat & Weapons.
MEDICAL INFORMATION: Scarlett has Rapid Cellular Regeneration and while she doesn't heal potentially fatal wounds instantly, she does heal faster than the average person.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS OR TRIGGERS: Nothing extreme and if it did trigger her she would do her level best not to show it.
⇓out of character⇓
BACKTAGGING: Will backtag forever if it's plot related or character driven. Chit chat I appreciate in tags but may ask to fade to black if it hits a few months old.
FOURTH WALLING: Sure thing. I'm normally not a fan but there's just too much fun to be had with playing a character who has just found out that she's a Van Helsing without really knowing what a Van Helsing is. Feel free to ask her if she's a werewolf or any other number of Van Helsingy things.
THREADHOPPING: Yes. Please do. Big fan of it even.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS/TRIGGERS: Honestly? There is almost nothing I consider too much of a trigger to write out. I'm happy to keep communication flowing through heavier threads and if anything becomes too intense we can always dial it back or FTB. The one area that falls into trigger territory for me is traumatic amputations. Mentions are fine, writing it out in explicit detail? Less so.
ANYTHING ELSE: I'm in Australia: GMT+8 (When it's not DLS basically take EST and flip the AM & PMs and that's my time zone). I will generally hit tags in the afternoons/evenings after work and on weekends. Tags from work will be rare and Network/Action tags only.
