grip_on_reality | Permissions for realityshifted

★ IC Permissions

☆ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Menzies is likely to be weirded out by it unless you know her well, but I have no problem with it. Just be warned that if you try anything major without her permission, you might get a slap for it.
☆ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Go for it! Just talk to me first if you're planning on doing something severe.
☆ RELATIONSHIPS: Menzies is not usually one for strong personal attachments. On top of this, she and Agent North Dakota have been slowly growing closer, so she's unlikely to seek any other relationships of that sort.
☆ PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: Regular human being ahoy!
☆ MAGICAL INFORMATION: She has none, the end.
☆ MEDICAL INFORMATION: Menzies is in generally good health. She has suffered some past injuries, such as a concussion in a car accident and being blasted nearly to death (although that was turned around by magical alien healing!), so she's no stranger to injury. However, her only ongoing health "issue" is that she has a tendency to sleep deprive herself.
☆ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Generally, nothing is too much for her. You get used to hearing about really terrible things in her line of work, after all. Still, she's not very comfortable hearing the details of situations in which terrible things were done to police officers--particularly when they involve alien means no one could defend themselves against.

★ OOC Permissions

☆ BACKTAGGING: Welcomed and encouraged.
☆ THREADHOPPING: I don't mind! Just ask first if the conversation seems private.
☆ FOURTHWALLING: Please don't. Menzies needs to keep at least some of her grip on reality.
☆ DO NOT WANT: Just fourthwalling, really.
☆ ANYTHING ELSE? Nope! Please feel free to poke me any time about RP things :)

★ First Impressions

☆ VISUAL: Menzies has longish brown hair and brown eyes. She is 5'6" and dresses like a typical business woman--but always trousers, thank you. She likes to be prepared for field work at any time. To that end, she is also very fit and slightly on the thin side. She usually wears her hair pulled back and a smirk that's as quick as her wit.
☆ AURAL: Being from Manchester, Menzies has a very distinct Manc accent. She tends to speak casually, and interestingly alternates her pronunciation of my between my and me, often depending on how serious/flippant she's being. For the curious, you can hear her accent in these four clips.
☆ OLFACTORY: Menzies' cases take her all over, and generally she spends a lot of her time encountering car exhaust and the other major features of a big city. Depending on how strenuous her day has been, she may smell faintly of sweat and plainly-scented deodorant. Her shampoo smells like citrus if you get very close, but she isn't one to wear perfume otherwise.
☆ DEMEANOUR: Menzies has a penchant for sarcasm and snark and is very brusque and down-to-business in her demeanor. When someone has crossed her, though, she can turn from sarcastic banter to hard-as-nails in an instant.
