((OOC #intro post: Kankri Vantas: He/Him Beforan Celibate 'off-spectrum individual' (mutant). Self-proclaimed crusader for social justice. Professional yap-artist. Activist who is so very very close to -getting it- but falls short due to a mix of ego, naivety, and hypocrisy he refuses to examine. Comes across as obnoxious, self-righteous, and more interested in taking the moral highground than actually helping people. That's the baseline. My interpretation/version of him? He does, genuinely, care about improvement and social progress - he's just bad at it. Having been culled (read: Constantly belittled, demeaned, and having his independence and autonomy questioned and revoked) all his life, he's simultaneously desperate to prove he can accomplish great things of his own volition AND woefully inexperienced when it comes to actual problems or conflict resolution. Spending eons as a ghost didn't help. But he IS trying, albeit slowly, to get better and do better. He's on the autism spectrum - and is generally unaware of this. He struggles with social cues, both speaking with and interpreting things in a very literal manner. He has a heightened sense of (often misplaced and inflexible) justice, and is often rigid in thought and action. He compulsively engages in particular behaviours (stims), and feels a need to always be right. He IS willing to engage in genuine debate, and wants to correct potentially problematic behaviour - including his own - overzealously. He does not believe in violent actions to achieve social change, nor does he believe that all causes are equal. He's also very lonely. While he doesn't have an especially high drive for friendships, it does get a bit dreary when nobody wants to interact with him. Even with those he is more cordial with, he can feel as though he does not truly 'connect' with them. He's celibate by choice, and leans much more on the ace/aro/demi side of things, but he does still feel attraction and arousal (albeit repressed.) He dislikes being belittled, demeaned, or coddled, nor does he respond well to praise that can be considered mocking - or rather feels conflicted, as he DOES crave validation and acceptance. When it comes to interacting, go nuts - all themes, SFW or otherwise - but expect him to be mostly obstinate and uncooperative if you don't align with his ideals, and to hit you with his typical yap-routine. Any outrage or frustration he expresses is purely IC, I assure you - please don't feel put-off if he tags your stuff or responds with negativity. NSFW and Romance-Wise, he's generally unavailable - but mainly because he's voluntarily celibate, and doesn't have a lot of drive for that kind of thing. You can feel free to try your luck but don't expect much. Also just a little bit of a brat. And also he's a brony. Whether that's a character virtue or a character flaw is up to interpretation.
