•CONTACT METHOD: Your preferred method of contact.
•THREAD-JACKING: Would you prefer that people avoided tagging other people on your journal or do you welcome it?
•FOURTH WALLING / CANON PUNCTURE: Is it okay for another character to recognize yours as fictional? Is it okay for yours to be recognized as an actor? Is it okay for your character be informed of future events by canonmates that come from later canon points?
•BACKTAGGING: Are you okay with late tags?
•AVOIDED TOPICS: If there is any type of plot you would rather not have your characters involved in because it makes you uncomfortable or you don't enjoy the subject matter, bring it up here.
IC CHARACTERISTICS:
•PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Raistlin's most noticeable traits are the fact that he has gold skin (gold as in looking metallic gold, not just a golden tan) and hourglass shaped pupils in the middle of golden eyes. He wears black robes, frequently carries around a wooden staff with a gold dragon claw clutching a crystal at the top, and is unhealthily thin and frail looking. He smells like a mix of roses, spices, and something rotting, and he speaks in a raspy voice.
•DEMEANOR: He tends to stand apart from others. He looks feeble in his physical movements, and constantly stares at others in disgust.
•ABILITIES: Raistlin is a powerful mage. In his own world, he’s capable of a wide array of spells, from putting people to sleep to incinerating entire villages when at his most powerful, and he’s very quick at picking up new spells and understanding the workings of magical objects. He is even capable of using a dragon orb to teleport and control dragons, and has even bent time to his will. He can read and speak the language of magic and is skilled at mixing potions, particularly the one that helps him deal with his persistent cough. However, in order to cast a spell, supplies are needed. These are usually mundane materials that can be found with a bit of looking, such as rose petals and cobwebs, but without them his spells are useless. Furthermore, he must study his spells every day, because casting a spell results in the caster immediately forgetting it, a precaution set by the gods of his world to prevent any mage from ever becoming too powerful.
On the barge, his powers will be greatly reduced. He will still be able to mix potions the same as he always could, but any spells he tries to cast will be an extremely weak version of the spell. A sleep spell will only give the one it’s cast on a little bit of a weary feeling, and a fireball spell will only create a marble sized ball of flame that will quickly fizzle out, not good for doing more than lighting a candle.
One ability that will remain completely unchanged will be a curse he has, that makes him see others as aging rapidly, then withering and dying. The reason I’m mentioning this in abilities though it is, in fact, a curse, is because it will allow him to be aware of certain things. Races that age slower than humans will appear to age slower to him, and in some cases he will see others as they truly are if they are disguised as a different species than they are in actuality. Other races with unusual aging tendencies may look different to him than normal depending on the exact nature of these aging tendencies.
•MEDICAL INFORMATION: Raistlin has asthma and frequently suffers from malnutrition.
•OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Witch burnings? That's all I can think of right now.

•MENTAL: Yep!
•MIMICRY: Absolutely!
•VIOLENCE: Sure.
•MAGIC: Yes.
•DEBATE: Yep.
•OTHER / NOTES: Nothing I can think of.
