NAME: LP
CONTACT: PM works best usually
ACTIVE TIMES/PACE: CEST (GMT+2); on the slow side, faster on weekends, can be pretty flaky when work gets crazy :(
BRACKETS/PROSE: no pref! i default to brackets but am just as fine with prose
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: none

IN CHARACTER

PHYSICAL AFFECTION: difficult. he is very neurotic and unpleasant and has terrible people skills. (exception: his team, people from the Atlantis expedition he's close with)
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: yes! ngl, i'm always here for some cheap whump
RELATIONSHIPS: also difficult.
PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: rodney is a genius astrophysicist so I guess his mind would be pretty loud. generally open to have his mind read/memories seen/etc!
MAGICAL INFORMATION: your average standard human. he possesses an artificial gene that lets him use Ancient technology which is sort of magical? he also almost Ascended to a higher plane of existence once but then opted out last second
MEDICAL INFORMATION: functioning claustrophobic, allergic to citrus, hypoglycemic; very much a hypochondriac and will probably find a way to inform you of the aforementioned whether you want it or not. always eating.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: none

ADDENDUM: Rodney can be very bad with people. He is awkward at small talk, he berates and verbally abuses those working under him, he is petty and jealous of other people's success. Missing social cues he is also terrible at reading a room and often extremely insensitive. He also often displays heaps of toxic masculinity and sexism. On the show this is often played for laughs in best 2k fashion - I tend to not spring that on people without prior communication but if there is anything specific you'd like me to avoid or opt out of interacting with him altogether, lmk below!


OUT OF CHARACTER

BACKTAGGING: always and forever
THREADHOPPING: if all parties are cool with it, sure!
FOURTHWALLING: go wild, he's literally met other versions of himself!
NOT INTERESTED IN: explicit smut (i'm just very bad at writing it :()
SHIPPING: sheppard is very much my otp for him; but i'm generally open for most people from his canon, especially for memes. outside of his canon - depends! let's talk!

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

VISUAL: 5ft 9; late 30s with thinning hair. perpetually annoyed at the world, most likely frowning
AURAL: loud. very fast talking. obnoxious. arrogant. complains a lot. tenor voice that frequently tends to pitch upward an octave or two depending on his current level of indignation.
OLFACTORY: random shower gel and no brand aftershave, cold coffee, soldered wiring, probably in need of a shower if he's been working long hours in the lab
DEMEANOUR: can't stand still, gestures a lot; has a nervous tic of opening and closing his hand. tendency to have a closed off body-language by crossing his arms
