OOC PERMISSIONS
BACKTAGGING: Go for it! I'll do my best to tag for as long as the other player wants to keep going. (If it's been more than a couple months without a tag, though, I might ask that we start a new thread instead.)
THREADHOPPING: Ask first, please
FOURTHWALLING: No thanks
BRACKETS/PROSE: Prose. I am old and my eyes are almost as bad as Radar's, please have mercy on me :(
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Sexual assault/noncon is a hard no; prefer a warning for in-depth discussions or depictions of self-harm/suicide

CHARACTER
NAME: Walter "Radar" O'Reilly
CANON: M*A*S*H
PRONOUNS: he/him
AGE: 21
HISTORY: Fan wiki page
CANON POINT: 6x03, "Fallen Idol"
PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: Because (a) we're in a fantasy setting and (b) it's hilarious, I've chosen to play Radar like he really is psychic. More info + opt-out here! Tl;dr he can hear surface-level thoughts, has limited precognition, and while he can do a little bit of psychic shielding, he's not great at it yet. It's noisy in there if you try to snoop.
MAGICAL INFORMATION: Knows a tiny bit of D&D-style magic (just the Mage Hand cantrip currently)
MEDICAL INFORMATION: Terrible eyesight and extremely sharp sense of hearing, but otherwise completely average for a guy in his early twenties.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
VISUAL: Grey eyes, wavy brown hair, stout, and noticeably short for his age (about 5'4" or 163 cm). Always wears a pair of wire-rimmed glasses and almost always wears a newsboy cap; the latter covers up the fact that he's prematurely losing his hair from the stress of being in a war zone, and in the rare times he does take it off, he looks a fair bit older.
AURAL: High-pitched and pleasant, with a strong American Midwest accent (sample). Capable of working up a commanding shout that silences a whole room when he wants.
OLFACTORY: Teenage Boy™️ (though it's not as obvious since he got access to a private shower), mud, ink, occasional barn animal.
DEMEANOUR: Gregarious, cheerful, and polite, if a little high-strung sometimes. Between his height, the round baby-face, and a general air of guilelessness, he also tends to come off as young no matter how tough or grown-up he's trying to act.

IC PERMISSIONS
PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Yes! He might squeak like a chew toy if he's not expecting it, but he's an affectionate guy at heart.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: He's more likely to run away from a fight, but if you rile him up enough: yes. And he will 100% lose. Please touch base OOCly if things'll get much worse than a cut or a bruise.
RELATIONSHIPS: Not at the moment. Technically he's in an open relationship, but he keeps his side of it monogamous.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: War, little kids getting hurt or dying, animal injury/death. It's fine if they come up -- just be aware he'll have a strong reaction to them.
CONTENT WARNINGS: Before coming to PH, Radar spent nearly two years clerking for a frontline hospital in the Korean War. I'll do my best to warn for anything major, but expect general war-related topics to pop up in any of his threads. Also, being from the 1950s, he may on very rare occasion bring up period-typical prejudices, but I will always warn in advance and strongly tone it down because literally none of us want to deal with that while we're playing online barbies.
