— PERMISSIONS —

✔ Physical Affection


Casual contact like friendly pats on the back and general well-intentioned roughhousing are all a-ok. Cid is very physical and will often initiate that sort of thing himself. More personal/intimate kinds of affection (eg. prolonged hand holding, cuddling) would require close CR.


✔ Physical Violence


Sparring and that sort of thing are a-okay. Totally fine to keep going if a thread heads in the direction of a real fight too, but shoot me a DM if it it comes up unprompted. Cid doesn't have any qualms about fighting but generally prefers to avoid it if there's no real purpose.


✔ Telepathy/Mind Powers


Go for it! He doesn't have any particular defences. For mind control stuff, please shoot me a DM if we haven't discussed.


✘ Romance


Cid is still in a position where he doesn't see much of a future for himself what with being dead back home, so he would be highly reluctant to get into a heavy romantic relationship. I'm not saying it can't/shouldn't/won't happen, just that it would be a slow burn to get there. At the moment, he prefers a lot of close-knit friendships that are somewhat undefined, and whether or not sex is involved is mostly irrelevant.


✔ Smut


Much more likely than romance. Cid is pretty easygoing about this kind of thing, and will readily fall into bed if there's a spark of mutual interest and they seem like decent people, as long as it doesn't look like things will turn romantic (he's not here to lead anyone on). It's very unlikely he'd go for anyone younger than mid-20s or so — he generally prefers people closer to his own age or older — but otherwise he has no strong preferences in terms of orientation.


✘ Death

He's already dead leave him alone :(

— CONTENT WARNINGS —

FFXVI engages with a lot of heavy topics, including but not limited to: systemic violence and oppression, fantasy dehumanization, fantasy slavery (based exclusively on whether or not the character bears magical abilities), and references to severe abuse (physical/emotional), neglect, trauma, and death.

While I'm not going to spring this sort of thing on anyone unprompted, it's not really possible to divorce Cid's character from these topics entirely as his role in the game means that he's heavily engaged with these ideas (as a character who is pushing against them). Please DM this journal if you'd like to opt out, no questions asked (unless you want to clarify/discuss)!
