OOC PREFERENCES:
• CONTACT METHOD: PM to this journal or see my contact post!
• THREAD-JACKING: Feel more than free - just expect my character to comment on the content. >]
• FOURTH WALLING / CANON PUNCTURE: I'd prefer not to.
• BACKTAGGING: Forever, basically, with certain exceptions - if I ever drop a thread, however, it will always be due to health issues, not writing issues.
• AVOIDED TOPICS: None.

IC CHARACTERISTICS:
• PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Illyria is of a slight built, owing to the fact that her body's previous owner was a skinny physicist. However, she doesn't look particularly human - her skin and hair have a bluish tone to them and her eyes (especially irises) are bigger than you'd expect from an ordinary human.
• DEMEANOR: Illyria used to be a god-king. She has an extremely large ego and, presently, a prickly temper. She's also not human and has more or less zero understanding of morals or manners. This is not to say that she'll insult your character if she gets the chance - but she'll always be very, very direct.
• ABILITIES: Superhuman strength and shades of her former powers - she's very hard to injure, for instance, and has a very, very subtle feel for the supernatural (what's left of her empathic powers).
• OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Illyria walks around in the body of Winnifred Burkle - something she feels absolutely no regrets about. In general, she can come across offensive to some because morals simply don't mean anything to her.


IC PERMISSIONS:
• MENTAL/MIMICRY: Discuss it with me first, please. It's definitely possible, as proven by the comics.
• VIOLENCE: Your character can certainly try. xD If you want a fight scene with Illyria, please talk to me first so we can work out the details. Also, I love writing fight scenes!
• MAGIC: No problem, she knows about magic.
• DEBATE: Yes, though she'll get temperamental if she thinks your character is insulting her.
• HUGGING/KISSING/PHYSICAL AFFECTION: WTF why would you ever want to. O_o Illyria isn't prone to accepting hugging or physical touches in canon but it probably wouldn't bother her, per say. Kissing would make her very confused but ultimately, disinterested. Sorry, she's mostly about war and violence.
• SHIPS: If it makes sense, I'll always ship whatever. Illyria is a tough character to ship, though, unless you ship her (weirdly and dysfunctionally) with Wesley or, alternatively, cracky and hilariously with Spike.
