POWERS OPT OUT

Clint has no powers, so there's nothing to opt out of! Although there are some things to be aware of... see below.


IC TRIGGER WARNINGS

I tend to not make a huge deal out of trigger warnings because most characters in DW RP have some form of shitty stuff in their backstory and that's just something you can't change, but I'm gonna lay out what Clint's packing in specific here. Thanks to him being Remarkably Well Adjusted there's not usually anything to denote that he's had all this stuff in his past, but it's there and it might come up. It's most likely to come up with outside provocation; there's almost no way he's going to bring up anything horribly bad on his own, but if someone he's talking to asks him directly about it he'll answer honestly, or if he sees someone going through something he can empathize with he might say it. In no particular order, things that Clint has lived through in the past are:

• child abuse
  
• parental alcoholism
  
• being made an orphan
  
• life-threatening injuries (lots and lots of blood)
  
• being ordered to kill children (he did refuse this)
  
• semi-abusive superiors
  
• lots and lots of explosions
  
• killing
  
• more killing
  
• even more killing
  
• torture/interrogation
  
• mind control/mind rape
  
• partial deafness
  
• wars/invasions
  
• spy work getting nasty in general
  
• depression
  
• PTSD
  
• mental breakdowns

and I'm undoubtedly forgetting something. Clint is a career spy/soldier/Special Forces-level operative, even though it's not immediately obvious and he's actually fantastically grounded and not bent and broken under all the things he's done and seen. If something ever gets too heavy for you, just shoot me a message and we can drop the thread, have a general chat about what happens, and move on to something else more fun for everyone.

As for Clint himself, nothing really phases him anymore (that he knows of). He has, regretfully, seen too much of the bad of the world to be surprised by a lot of what happens in it, and from his experiences with the Avengers he knows that space isn't really any better in that regard. He's come to the conclusion that the best he can do is try to make it better, even if it means he does sometimes terrible things, and that extends to helping others try to make sense of things and stabilize and center themselves as best they can. He won't push for anyone's story, but if they offer, he'll listen, and he'll do his best to help. He can't promise any kind of miracle, but he will try. The thing that is going to make him angry the quickest is if someone hurts an innocent, especially a child, but his anger is a very cold anger most of the time and it generally means bad things for the person that awakens it. What causes it second fastest is betraying trust/loyalty/etc, and that's more likely to get an explosive rage out of him. He has successfully managed to put Loki's takeover of his mind in the past and doesn't get spontaneously snapped into terror anymore, but it's still not at all a happy thing to remember and to some extent he's still dealing with traces of PTSD, mostly in his dreams.


OOC TRIGGER WARNINGS

As a player, I don't really have any triggers. I believe there are topics that should be handled with tact and sensitivity, such as the stuff in the section above and more besides, but as long as people are generally respectful when they write about those topics there's no problem. You don't have to give me a TW or a CW when a sensitive thing comes up as long as you're not making light of it.


GENERAL SHIT

Godmodding: Unless I've given you explicit permission, firm no.
Infomodding: Nooooooo.
Fourth-Walling: Not right now, but maybe in the future. The MCU seems to share the same pop culture as the real world, more or less, so he knows all the big references, but he would blank at hearing that he himself is fictional.
Knowing An Alt-Universe Him: Oh yeah, go right ahead! Mention other!Clint to him and watch him be very bewildered! Why does he own a brownstone in Brooklyn?
Knowing Hawkeye: Yeah that secret got blown wide open, go for it.
Backtagging: Always. I will be doing the same.
Threadjacking: In situations where it would be appropriate (an open network/BBS kind of thing) go right ahead. If the thread is closed to specific people, please don't jump in without explicit permission.

Violence: He's lived his life with this as his job, he can't exactly object to it happening now, can he? That said, if you want something to get physical, please contact me first just so I know it's coming and we can sketch out a vague idea of what's going to happen. And it has to be written open-ended and not just "X punches him in the face, breaking his nose" or something like that, to give him a chance to react.
Contact: He won't like it if you drape yourself all over him, but stuff like a hand on a shoulder or a slap on the back is fine. Maybe not so oddly considering his childhood, he's not very physically demonstrative with people he's not close to/are in his "family group," so if he's going to try and do that I'll be asking you.
Flirting: He will be Confused, but sure.
Kissing: I don't object to someone trying, but don't assume it happens because he will reject it. He is Loyal to his wife. (Cheek kisses are fine for close female friends.)
Shipping: It's absolutely hilarious when someone falls for him because he has the romantic prescience of a rock. So go right ahead. Just be aware he won't return it.
