[Offering]: John Doe from Malevolent! I’m still voice testing so please bear with me!
His journal is still a work in progress but there's some information about him on the wiki here.
In short, he's a fragment of an elder god, The King in Yellow. In canon he's disembodied and takes up residence in the body of the other main character, Arthur. He can see through Arthur's eyes (rendering Arthur blind) and has the use of Arthur's left arm from the elbow down, and one foot. He can speak to Arthur in his mind, but only Arthur can hear him. However, Arthur has to speak aloud for John to hear him. For RP purposes I can either play him as separated and in his own body (see icons for an idea of how I envision him looking!), or as taking up residence in your character's body similarly to canon. More info below for ideas on how to play this out!
John can be manipulative, possessive, and quick to anger, but also believes firmly in the possibility of redemption. He can be empathetic, and is trying hard to learn to be more human than eldritch monster. He wants to be a good person. He learns from his host, so interactions between him and other characters can help determine whether he'll be kinder or meaner in a PSL (we can plot this out depending on what you're looking for!)
[Looking For]: In terms of canonmates, my kingdom for an Arthur!
All other canonmates as well as cross-canon characters are very welcome.
[preferences]: Canon blending and AUs welcome!
For crosscanon CR, he can enter your character's canon or an entirely new setting through his book being opened and your character reading from it, allowing him to take up residence in your character's head. An alternative is the spell works differently and he is embodied, but could be mentally/physically (in a red string-esque style) linked to your character to get them to interact. If taking the possession route, the PSL could be working toward them carrying out a ritual to separate them so John becomes embodied, which can happen sooner, or later on, in the PSL, whatever is preferred.
For Arthur, I'm happy to have the whole PSL with them linked in the same way as in canon, have them perform a ritual so they are now separate but linked in some other way (see above), or use some setup where they end up in an entirely new place which also leads to John having his own body.
I have lots of ideas for both of the above setups, let's plot something out!
For themes, eldritch shenanigans are always a winner—spooky stuff, arcane rituals, weird monsters and the like. Having John with your character could introduce these elements into any setting. However, I'm good with anything and welcome all genres! I'm ultimately looking for lots of character development and bonding.
Purely platonic, mild shippy, or full-on smut are all welcome themes.
For canonpoints, I'd prefer to play John anywhere from season 1 to the end of season 4 because this gives more options in terms of John's character development. For an Arthur, I'd play him from any canonpoint (but still think 1 - 4 would give us more scope).
