preliminary stats and permissions post

Name: Superbi Squalo
Age: 22
Height & weight: 182 cm (6') and 75 kg (165 lbs).
Physical description: Squalo's on the tall, thin end of average, but everything else about him is incredibly flamboyant. He wears ridiculous things, some of which can be blamed on the Varia uniform (fur-lined uniform jacket) and some of which cannot (fur-trimmed boots, tiger stripes, ridiculously long scarves), and his defining feature is his waist-length silver hair.
Important medical issues: He's missing his left hand, but you may not notice; he wears a prosthetic. With a sword attached to it.
Notes for psychics: PREPARE TO BE DEAFENED. SQUALO'S CAPS LOCK KEY IS PERMANENTLY STUCK. HIS THOUGHTS ARE AT FULL VOLUME.

Also, things may come across as sort of wonky if you're reading his mind seeing as Yubaba took away the defining trait of his adult life. Things have yet to rearrange themselves into a coherent whole around the gaping hole there.

Skills of note: Squalo is (in his own canon) pretty much the best swordsman in the world; when you beat the guy called "Sword Emperor," well, there's not a lot of room to move further up. His sword style is entirely self-made; he traveled all over the world defeating the strongest masters he could find and picking up the parts of their styles that he liked. He's also one of the top-ranked assassins in the world. Basically his skills are CARNAGE and YELLING ABOUT CARNAGE.

…also, if your character uses illusion-type magic, Squalo can canonically see through even very powerful illusions cast by masters. He does not have any other discernible magical talent (at least, not that we've been shown). This talent is presumably tied to his flame attribute being Rain, which is associated with tranquility/dispelling/sapping energy rather than outright attacking.

Friendly physical contact: Keep in mind that sword fights to the death are friendly physical contact in Squalo's world! Hugging and shit is just going to make him think you're really creepy.
Sexytimes: …assuming that your taste meshes with his (which falls anywhere between "sword fight until somebody goes down, then it's sexy" and "throw more kitchenware at my head, baby" depending on the day and the partner), sure.
Violence: ALWAYS. It's his career, his hobby, and quite possibly his sexual orientation!
Killing: If you're saying "please kill me, Squalo," well, he'd be happy to oblige you. [On a more serious note, the actual permission is yes, once we have a death mechanic set up.]

Anything else? Squalo is very bad at being an antihero and sometimes accidentally a heroic deus ex machina. With his devotion to Xanxus with Yubaba, his shounen tendencies are probably going to get worse. And he is not going to enjoy it. If Dino Cavallone ever finds out, he's going to be insufferable.
