✦ TAPEWORM'S TAGS ✦
❝ BASICS ◜bring me birds with broken wings, men with all the answers◞
name: Salem Birch Lonan, prefers "Tapeworm."
sex + gender: Male sex, prefers masculine pronouns.
age: Thirty-one-years-old, born on November ninth in the year 2008.
voice: His voice is rough and coarse - the equivalent of gravel being scraped together - and hard to understand due to the damage he's had to his vocal cords. It's difficult for him to speak and near impossible for him to raise his voice.

❝ PHYSICAL ◜people who have killed, give me incurable cancers◞
━ Salem stands at 5'10"; yet, he often appears to be several inches shorter due to the fact he's often hunched over. He has a surprising amount of lean muscle, but nothing extraordinary; though, most of it is in his right leg and arms. The entirety of his body was at the mercy of a house fire several years back and he had never gone through corrective surgery. Thus, his features are twisted and the skin upon his face, neck, shoulders, and chest are stretched in an odd manner. Every inch of skin on his body is reddened and warped with excessive scar tissue. Moreover, he lost his eyes in the fire and the bones in his left leg were broken at odd angles due to a beam falling atop it. Little could be done for his eyes and a brace was put on his leg after attempts to put the bones back into place. However, due to him going against recommendations to stay off his leg and the lack of proper medical treatment, his left leg healed into an almost twisted shape. He can bend his leg only part of the way and it is unable to support him properly.
━ He carries an oak cane coated in resin, a hunting knife, a fishing rod, and a backpack with the following inside of it: a hip flask,  a couple cans of food, small bits of animal carcasses, a few plastic grocery bags, a small tool to sharpen his knife with, and a can which he carries worms in.
━ He can't walk properly - much less run - due to his misshapen leg, hence the cane.
━ His sense of hearing, while definitely short of anything supernatural, is heightened due to his blindness.
━ He clicks his tongue and, on occasion, taps his cane in order to echo-locate.

other injuries/ailments: Currently, he has been starved three days worth of food.

❝ MENTAL ◜bring me beaches slicked in oil, give me disregard for doubt◞
━ He is asexual and is completely avoidant of intimate relationships. Your character is allowed to flirt with him should they somehow find themselves attracted. However, note it will be met with belligerence, perhaps even physical violence depending upon what your character does.
━ Please refer to his biography (found above) for an in-depth description of Salem's personality. Briefly, he is the following: deceitful, verbally aggressive, has a warped perception of reality due to trauma, hates and fears being vulnerable unless it is/he believes it is of his own accord, terrified of intimacy, self-hating, loud, loose-tongued, thinks he knows his limits but he often oversteps them, blasphemous, apathetic, sadistic, dismissive, and generally unpleasant to be around
He can and will attempt to take advantage of a character's vulnerability/weakness if given the opportunity - this includes physical violence. I will try my best to DM every person ahead of him acting to make sure this is okay with you and to make sure how far you're okay with him going. Though, he will not, under any circumstance, r*p* someone.
━ Yes, I am aware I'm giving him significantly more negative traits than positive traits, which is often taboo. However, he is meant to be a disliked character that should not be sympathized with.

❝ CONFRONTATION ◜street lights shine on broken roads where no one is about◞
━ Passive actions can be powerplayed, but may be met with aggression.
━ Aggressive actions that will not result in maiming, damaged bones, deep cuts/slashes, or otherwise fatal injury can be power played if Salem is currently not in combat. Please use bold font in the #6e1809 color for confrontational actions with Salem. Otherwise, these actions may inadvertently go ignored.
━ Salem is, by all accounts, incredibly weak and will be at a disadvantage in every combat situation whether or not he is out of another character's line of sight or went somehow unheard before the start of the conflict. This means that, unless the other roleplayer insists he had the jump on their character or there are plot reasons, he will fall under the one-to-four hit rule. This means that I will only be giving him an opportunity to succeed at an attack (i.e. putting him at the mercy of the other roleplayer's judgement) or allowed to dodge after an event or number of events based on the role of a d4 that determines one of the following:
1. he fails a d4 number of times
2. he fails to a degree that leads to him injuring himself
3. after the other character(s) hit(s) him a d4 number of times
4. after the other character(s) brutally injure(s) him
━ If Salem gets into a conflict with three or more people, he is automatically assumed to fail the confrontation.

❝ OTHER ◜i want that hopeless dream depression, punishments without a cause◞
━ If I do not respond to a thread in three days, please DM this account or Salem's.
IMPORTANT NOTE: None of this character's aggressive actions or offensive beliefs are reflective of the role-player's feelings or opinions.
