guidelines
inbox! I do not accept anon hate, or anonymous critique of myself, my muses/their canon, or my partners. If you have critique, you're welcome to message me privately on discord!
I practice categorical denial of subtext - I will not respond to passive aggression, to include: silent treatment, guilt tripping, or other related behaviors - full stop. I’m no longer tolerating this behavior in myself, & I will no longer tolerate it in others, either. if we can not communicate openly & respectfully, then we will not communicate.

I’m no longer tolerating this behavior in myself, & I will no longer tolerate it in others, either. if we can not communicate openly & respectfully, then we will not communicate.
regarding discourse! this blog does not partake in discourse. I don't mind seeing it on the dash, but I will generally not contribute to it on my rp blogs as a matter of personal comfort. if you happen to have the link for my personal blog, you can find many of my thoughts, feelings, & opinions on a broad spectrum of meta - both fandom & rpc-centric - there.
regarding drama on the dash! outside of verified predatory behavior backed by tangible proof, please do not recruit me for your callouts or try to play me against people on the dash. I understand that not all of us get along. I reserve my right to curate & optimize my dash & experience as I see fit. I do not require assistance in doing so. (I know this sounds harsh, I am just very, very tired™.)
regarding DNIs. I do have a personal DNI for myself, & I will check your blog to see if you heavily interact with anyone on it. I don't share this list with anyone so please do not ask me for it - it's just for my own comfort. see rule 5 - not all of us will get along, & that's absolutely okay 💜.
blog schedule!
I run this blog on a scheduled queue, & currently post replies 3x a week (M/W/F). This helps me stay consistent without getting overwhelmed. You can find my draft tracker here for when things will post, & what’s currently in my drafts. Currently, I do drafts on the Monday also on M/W/F, so that's when you'll find me logged into that blog on desktop & mobile.schedule is currently on break given offline shenanigans taking too much of my time. I'll post when able.This blog is private , so I will only interact with mutuals at this time. My preferred style is multipara, but I’m fine with shorter or novella with plotting. I primarily use icons & small text in terms of formatting. important! please DO NOT send me "wanna rp?" - if you fill out the plotting guide on my pinned post, I'll come to you!
unfollowing. Inactive 2+ months w/o hiatus notice, untagged NSFW, becoming exclusive with another version of my muse + excessive gore, transphobia, nazism, pedophilia, antisemitism, & racism - which will additionally result in a block.
romantic shipping. You may see a variety of platonic & romantic ships on this blog. if you're unsure, you're definitely welcome to ask or indicate you'd like to work towards it on my tracker! I ship chemistry here, but some muses may have specific requirements & I'll have those noted on their page.
nsfw. it may appear on the blog, but infrequently! I always tag with #nsfw, & it will be under a read more. additionally, I appreciate everyone's understanding of my preference for established ships before sending in nsfw-centric memes.
this blog does practice both mains & exclusives. these are partners I either have deeply established plotting with, or are muses that have significant triggers &/or squicks built into their canon that give me Big Hesitation.
lore: If I'm exclusive with someone & their muse is referenced in another thread as a NPC, you can be assured I mean them specifically 💜 Exclusives also tend to influence my own muses' canon fairly heavily, as well.
fandom familiarity is never required for any of my muses. you can find an outline of what muses fit into what additional canons through their verses here.

the following things are tagged in case you need to block them: nsfw, gore, blood, violence, deceased fcs
the follow are not present on my blog: current events (generally), incest (related fandoms tagged), noncon, callouts

Shadowhunters
Mun is unfamiliar with The Eldest Curses, The Dark Artifices, & The Secrets of Blackthorn Hall at this time - I'm slowly making my way through them, but many of these muses thrive best in fandom or AU verses lately
Most, if not all, muses are book based but influenced by the show in various capacities. I'm critical of the show, but I do enjoy some of the nuance introduced so small changes will show up (such as Alec being Head of the Institute of New York, etc). Verses will be primarily based on the books, though
One exception to the above: Jonathan is primarily show based because of his heavy divergence.

important notes
divergency, post Winter Soldier (2014) instead of disappearing into the city & moving abroad to go underground, Bucky surrendered to what remained of shield, & allowed himself to be brought in so that they could ascertain the extent of the damage hydra had done to him in his time as their asset.during this time, his complicity in the deaths of tony's parents is revealed in a much safer environment, lending to them processing both his actions but also his lack of control or personal agency without him being villianized.Civil War. when someone attempted to frame Barnes for the bombing of the Vienna international centre, the team pulled in close to get to the bottom of what had really happened. given that Barnes, whose whereabouts the press had categorized as unknown to protect & facilitate his recovery, had been strictly monitored & restricted to the new avengers facility in upstate new york, he was easily cleared.delving into everything they could regarding the bombing & working alongside the joint counter terrorist centre, it was soon revealed that Helmut Zemo was responsible, & this realization led the team to the hydra Siberian facility, where they confronted Zemo.Zemo attempted to tear the team apart by revealing the truth behind Howard & Maria stark's deaths, but that information had already been known to the group. when this attempt failed, Zemo reactivated Barnes' dormant programming, leading to an all-out brawl that resulted in the loss of his cybernetic arm before he was contained by the combined efforts of Stark, Steve, & a new ally, T'Challa.

note regarding The Snap: I feel it's fairly integral to my canon to keep Bucky getting snapped, primarily because I have already diverged so wildly from canon. I feel like diverging further would do damage to the progress I have him making, so I will be keeping the Snap canon for most verses.
on being left handed: Though naturally left handed, as The Winter Soldier, he was trained & conditioned to be not just functionally ambidextrous, but entirely - to the point that after being fully deprogrammed, it took him a further six months to shake it off & start defaulting to his left again. There will always be the barest hint of hesitation in using it as his dominant hand in intimate situations, but that’s something he’s slowly overcoming with time.
therapy & adjustments after Endgame: Bucky sitting down with a mandated therapist not long after the events of The Blip was hardly the first time he was put in a position to unpack his trauma, but it was definitely not the most productive. he had previously started unpacking the bulk of his experiences almost directly after the fall of the Triskelion in 2014, upon being remanded into the Avengers’ custody & choosing to work towards his own healing on his own terms. read more.

trauma nurse | fandomless | The oldest child in the family, Bucky was the one to take on more than his share of work when his father passed away unexpectedly during an accident while away at Army Basic & left him & Rebecca as orphans. working hard, Bucky used the money he could save away working at the port to put towards school. after a few years of tenuous work/life balance at best, Bucky was able to graduate with a nursing degree. he now works as a trauma nurse at the busiest emergency department in NY - Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center. read more. |

important notes
divergency, post Iron Man 3, Tony never had the arc reactor removed.divergency, Age of Ultron. after the Ultron offensive, stark retired from active duty, still haunted by his role in the chaos the a.i. created. in an effort to combat that guilt, stark assisted heavily in the rehabilitation of James Barnes, spending less time tweaking his own armor & more time helping deprogram the former prisoner of war while providing useful upgrades & modifications to the titanium arm hydra had furnished the soldier with.it was during this time he learned about the other's role in his parents' deaths because of hydras orders. though he was hurt, & angry, tony was able to process this information within the safety of his own home & on his own terms, finally recognizing hydra's guilt.when someone attempted to frame barnes for the bombing of the Vienna international centre, the team pulled in close to get to the bottom of what had really happened. given that barnes, whose whereabouts the press had categorized as unknown to protect & facilitate his recovery, had been strictly monitored & restricted to the new avengers facility in upstate New York, he was easily cleared by tony's ai system's verification of his whereabouts.after the events at the HYDRA Siberian facility, Stark returned to new york to become a mentor to spider-man & to guide him in order to make him a better hero than he ever was.

Status | Divergent |
Faceclaim | Frank Grillo |
Shipping notes | I write Brock as bi-romantic & bisexual with a preference towards women in both cases. Make no mistake, he can & will ship himself, same day shipping, with male muses, but it's something that can & does take him a little more time to warm up to. |
romantic shipping within his main verse | as of 2023, brock is 50 within his canon verse. as such, he has a preference to ship with muses over 35, & will not ship with muses under 30. |

important notes
divergency, you will find the complete outline of this muse's divergence here.please keep in mind this muse is entirely divergent from his actual canon, & that I have crafted his canon from the ground up since I started writing him in 2014. I'm aware it's incredibly dense, & a lot to take in, so I'm more than happy to go over the basics while plotting, however I will be very firm in having it respected as I do not follow follow canon affiliation with hydra & neither does any facet of this muse.this muse does not acknowledge, much less follow, his 616 canon.

timeline of events
1973
June
Born: Andrea Provenzano, June 8, 1973, to Anna Vittoria Provenzavo, neé Riina.
He would grow up in a small apartment in Manhattan's Lower East, but most of the files regarding his childhood are heavily redacted.
He has no contact with his birth father, one Bernardo Provenzano, nor his maternal grandfather, one Salvatore Riina.
1980 - 1988
TW for sexual assault, abuse, & drug use/mentions
From ages 7 to 15, Brock was sexually abused in a manner of ways by his step father. Whether or not his mother was fully aware of this at the time is unknown, but his step father's tendency to become violent when intoxicated coupled with existing drug & alcohol abuse, the lack of confrontation is hardly surprising.
It was within this period, as well, that he started abusing drugs & alcohol himself. Because he had access to this at home via his step father, it was more than easy to fall into a pattern of addiction.
There's some suspicion that his Naval career was kickstarted because he was given a choice of jail, or joining up. Regardless, the start of his Naval career coincides with the end of his addiction.
His step-dad disappeared one night shortly after Brock's 15th birthday when he went out to buy beer. By the time his step-son came home from work, Anna Vittoria was already concerned. A police report was eventually filed, but there were no leads.
1987
Education
At the urging of a high school guidance counselor who could see the damage his home life was doing him, Brock enrolled in a new & controversial program sponsored by a revolutionary public high school's collaborative efforts with New York University, catapulting him beyond regular curriculum by the time he was in the 9th grade.
This meant getting up early, & getting home late. Even after his step-father went missing, Brock continued with the program.
1990
Graduation
because of this choice & his own sheer stubbornness, he had completed requirements for graduation as well as an associates by the time he had finished 11th grade. instead of completing the second half of his junior year & continuing onto his senior year, he opted to enroll in nyu full-time.
he graduated NYU with a B.A. in international relations, & minor in national security studies.
Pushing through, he completed the program in record time & used many of his credits to qualify for an additional certification in counter terrorism.
military
Brock joined the Navy in ’90, immediately after graduation, and pushed himself hard enough that by the end of ’91, he was an esteemed member of a small class of Navy SEALs, joining Naval Special Warfare Development Group/DEVGRU.
He took the name Brock Rumlow during this time, after an instructor who relentlessly pushed him to be better & a college professor who had shown more faith in him than he'd had in himself.
concurrent MCU & current affairs events
May 24th, 1990: Alexander Pierce & Nick Fury meet for the first time.
December 16, 1991: Assassination of Howard & Maria Stark.
1992
Promotion to O-2, Lieutenant, Junior Grade
Brock was promoted to O-2, Lieutenant, Junior Grade, shortly before his involvement in combat activities during the Battle of Mogadishu.
1993
Military duties
Took part in his first major duties, including the Battle of Mogadishu in Somalia, which took place in late ‘93 during the Somali Civil War.
1994
Promotion to O-3, Lieutenant
This took place shortly after his return from Somalia.
DEVGRU & falling onto the CIA's radar
Originally fronted as a member of the Red Squadron (Assault Team), his actual role was one of a little over a hundred members of the covert Black Squadron (Reconnaissance & Surveillance Team). This information is known only to four individuals: Vice Admiral Joseph D. Kernan, Rear Admiral Edward G. Winters, III, Nick Fury, & Maria Hill.
It was his time on the Black Squadron that caught the attention of the CIA's Special Activities Division's Special Operations Group for tactical paramilitary operations.
His being scouted was additionally direct result of his fringe but effective involvement in the events preceding the Battle of Tora Bora in Afghanistan (which would peak later in 2001).
1995
general
his step father was declared legally dead after being missing for seven years, & the family was allowed to collect his life insurance, which Anna used to improve & otherwise update the family restaurant.
march
Between deployments to the Middle East, the Navy received a special request from the S.H.I.E.L.D. station in Bogotá to have a person on hand to monitor & assist with a growing situation.
Given that the bulk of his team was either overseas or recovering from duty, Brock volunteered.
He landed in Bogotá during the last week of March, setting up under Deputy Chief of the station, one Nicholas Fury, whom he'd work closely with to monitor the ongoing situation.
may
May 5th: Alexander Pierce is in State Department in Bogotá when ELN rebels take the embassy. Security get Pierce out, but the rebels take hostages. Fury goes to Pierce with a plan that had been brainstormed between him & Rumlow for extraction - wanting to storm the building through the sewers. Pierce says no, insisting that they negotiate.
Fury ignores the direct order & carries out an unauthorized military operation on foreign soil, rescuing the hostages - a dozen political offers, including Pierce's daughter.
Pierce attempts negotiation, but ELN refuse, & put out a kill order. They storm the basement, but find it empty. Pierce is relieved that Fury defied him, as it meant the hostages were saved, whereas otherwise they would have been killed, including his daughter.
Brock leaves Bogotá with a letter of commendation & notes of distinction both from Diplomat Pierce & Deputy Chief Fury. Fury makes a note to keep an eye on the young officer, & then moves to California following a promotion from Pierce.
1996
Military duties
took part in Operation Desert Strike in September of 1996.
2000
military
Promotion to O-4, Lieutenant Commander
2001
Tora Bora
December 17th, 2001: The Battle of Tora Bora (تورا بورا). SAD/SOG tracked down Osama bin Laden in the rugged mountains near the Khyber Pass.
Despite the operation being largely ineffectual, his personal efforts & command effort to set up the operation as a whole were taken into account & later used as a basis for his recruitment.
US forces stayed in the area until January 2002.
2004
January / February
Brock officially transitions from full active duty with the Navy SEALs to working on loan to the CIA under the CIA's Special Activities Division Special Operations Group - a division with less than one hundred operatives.
He's implanted with a modified L-Pill, a small capsule under his left molar that can be dislodged in the event he's compromised.
Spring
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld signs a classified order authorizing extended clandestine operations
Note: The secret order, authorized by the then-president, gave the military new authority to attack the Qaeda terrorist network anywhere in the world, and a more sweeping mandate to conduct operations in countries not at war with the United States.
June
John Garret returns to Wyoming for Grant Ward. SHIELD is alerted of this, having kept Ward on its own index after his disappearance in '99.
Fury officially makes a request for a high level operative transfer from the CIA's Special Activities Division Special Operations Group to oversee & orchestrate an infiltration of a suspected parasitic organization having formed within SHIELD.
Specifically, he requests the young agent he had kept tabs on nearly ten years ago.
2005
notes
Note: his work with HYDRA is a deep cover operation overseen jointly by his commanding officer at SAC, & Fury.
Brock is largely unsupervised because of the nature of the deep cover, but his loyalty is unquestionably to SHIELD, & I will not negotiate on this.
His job is to hunt N*zis, & turn the suspected parasitic organization within SHIELD over to the high command to be dealt with.
general
Starts working with SHIELD in the capacity of STRIKE Commander, & starts his work infiltrating HYDRA. He re-introduces himself to Secretary Pierce, reminding him of their work in Bogotá, & thanking him for the letter of commendation.
Pierce starts keeping tabs on Rumlow, monitoring his potential to be recruited to HYDRA.
Starts up a casual relationship with level 6 agent Rebecca Stevens as part of his cover.

Now, under a new generation of leadership, they targeted those who transported slaves under the guise of being living cargo, liberating them & ensuring their freedom - no matter the cost.coming on as a pilot, Poe honed his skills attacking & raiding cargo transports, ensuring the safety of everyone as they moved them out of Chrome Citadel & Nal Hutta.

Poe has low grade yet pervasive chronic pain from repeat emergency ejections & blasts taken in his x-wing. It’s not something he’ll acknowledge readily, or own up to in any capacity really at all, but it IS a reality he has to live with & it affects him in varying bursts of intensity. (read more).

At this time, I do take some issue with the handling of Vader's legacy being kept from Ben because it feels like a slap in the face after how much attention was given to how betrayed she felt with her own parents keeping secrets from her.
In light of this, I typically will refer to my own Ben's divergency more often unless plotting & writing otherwise with other Ben Solo/Kylo Ren RPers.

heavily divergent. the heir to the Skywalker bloodline, Solo possessed raw strength in the force & had the potential for limitless power. Originally targeted by Snoke, Ben eventually revealed the presence of this mysteriousvoice to his uncle, the Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, & how it kept coaxing him away from the light down a path of deep darkness & isolation.Luke would finally talk to him about the Skywalker bloodline, & the legacy it carried with it - easing that sense of isolation while acknowledging his own doubts & concerns. Knowing his apprentice was being targeted by something sinister, but not knowing the source, Luke began teaching him advance techniques to help him shield himself & his mind, as well as how to distance himself from the Force as a last resort defense should something arise from this presence.This would eventually come to a head years later, when Luke experienced a vision of what would come to pass should the darkness take his nephew-turned-apprentice. In the early, pre-dawn hours following that vision, there was an explosion that brought down the entire hut, seemingly resulting in the death of the once-prodigy. Twenty-three year old Ben Organa-Solo would be buried, & mourned, his presence lost in the force to all because of a tragic accident.or at least - that would be the official story, with the truth only known to the master that packed his apprentice into a t-65b x-wing with coordinates known only to the the young boy piloting, the droid R2-D2, & Lor San Tekka.

over 573 languages are estimated to have gone extinct in Andy's lifetime, & she can theoretically speak all of them given she became fluent in the root languages of all modern languages many, many centuries ago. This means there are very few modern languages she cannot comprehend outside of a few language isolates.
Andy both loves & hates technology's rapid advancement - especially over the last few decades alone. She had to be coerced into trading in her flip phone for a touch screen & even before that they had to pry her pager out of her cold, dead hands. Despite her reticence to adopt new technology, though, she learns exceptionally fast - she's just tired.
She claims to only ever have owned the one axe - originally forged for her by her mother. It's had replacements & improvements over the millennia, but to her it's still the same axe. (Even if the current form is spot-welded tempered steel.)

timeline of events
note :: anything noted in this color indicates reference to my own muse, or affiliates
4700 BCE
born into part of a nomadic tribe in the pontic–caspian steppe, Andy never thought for a moment that she might be anything different from the rest of her people; she'd live, & die alongside them. she was killed by the woman who she looked up to as a mother when the other became threatened by her youth & her talent.
killing her triggered Andromache's immortality, & she rose again, striking down the other in her place. she lead her people for several centuries after as a warrior queen, worshipped by some as a god.
she would leave her people circa 3300 BCE to spend thousands of years roaming the earth learning, teaching, & fighting her way through in the hopes of finding someone else like herself - another immortal who might share the burden of this eternity.
1300s BCE
Andy starts dreaming of Quynh/Noriko.
During this time, she acts as a temple guard for the Oracle of Delphi -- a position she would retain in various forms until a century before the conquest of Judea.
331/332 BCE
during Alexander the Great's Conquest of Judea, she found Lykon. He would travel with her as a two person private army & lending their swords to whatever causes they felt worthy.
641 (CE)
they met Quynh while riding with Amir Ibin al-As against the Byzantine empire in Alexandria, Egypt, at a treaty signing. The three would then travel together as their own private army, crossing the continents together.
1096 - 1099 & the First Crusades
Two new immortals emerge in the carnage; Nicolo of Genoa, a young knight who had left the priesthood behind, & Yusuf Ibrahim al-Kaysani, the scion of a merchant trading family from Maghrib, who met trying to kill each other during the siege of Jerusalem.
Late 1300s
After 200 or so years of searching, the Guard is finally whole as the trio finally meet Nicky & Joe & end the dream cycle.
1494-1559
The Death of Lykon: Lykon, the first immortal Andy had found in her long life, & the one who had been one of her most constant companions, would become the first of them to fall during the City-State Wars of Italy - an end he seemed ready to accept long before the others were.
Andy would separate out from the Guard during this time & offer her services to Cesare Borgia. After his death in 1507, she returned to the rest of the Guard to see out the end of the Hapsburg-Valois Wars through 1559.
1559 to 1660
in the aftermath, & finally processing the realization that there was a limit to their immortality, Andy & Quynh were captured while trying to free women caught in the tide of religious hysteria.
after rescuing a group of women about to be burned as witches, the two were hung by the neck. When death would not take them, it was seen as confirmation of their heretical agenda. If they could not die... then the priests believed a more fitting prison was required.
Quynh was separated from Andy, imprisoned in an iron maiden, & cast overboard into the sea south of the Horn of Africa.
Andy was saved by Nicky & Joe before she could face the same fate, & they spent decades searching for anyone on the ship, or their survivors who might be able to tell them where Quynh was cast off but to no avail.
Late 1700s - 1812
After a long dormancy period, the Guard starts dreaming of a returning face & makes for Regency England.
Andy stays in London until the season winds down for the summer & dreams of a new immortal start, reluctantly leaving their old friend behind to live out her mortal life.
June 1812
Sébastien Lelivre (Booker), a convicted forger, was killed for attempted desertion of the Napoleonic Army during its invasion of Russia. Booker would be the last immortal Andy would find for some time.
His intellect & adaptability is what helped the team find new direction, & it was with Booker that Andy faced the 20th century with some sense of purpose - the immortals became true guns for hire.
2020s
With the rise of a new immortal - the USMC Nile Freeman, killed in Afghanistan, Andy comes face to face with the modern reality that the old tips & tricks for sticking to the shadows no longer apply - the world is a much smaller place, & there are less places for them to hide.
Additionally, the Guard might yet see the return of another familiar face - Quynh has found her way to the surface, & she's hell bent on revenge - starting with those who abandoned her.

He spent a week in supervised detox, then stayed 90 days inpatient for treatment for his cocaine addiction.Ten weeks after his detox, the withdrawal symptoms finally started to abate but leaving Alo House was hardly the end of his journey to recovery - it took six months to bleed the rest of his demons out in the form of therapy & more than enough making amends. after that, the real work began; rebuilding a life.While his mother hit the campaign trail, he hit the gym & also every networking event he could make it to. Between finding a perfect location & getting actual investors, he kept himself busy enough not to fall back into old habits.In the end, it all paid off; the night they all awaited the election results, they did it in a private room at the club that had been TJ's dream; The Dome officially re-opened its doors the following week & TJ hasn't looked back since.

Warning for mentions of sexual assault. Although she & her gifts were discovered when she was five, Genya has been working on herself since she was three. Given her uniqueness as a tailor, she was gifted to the Queen by the Darkling. She's slept in the Grand Palace ever since, marked as a servant - a grisha without a color - & has been subjected to the abuse of the King. She is disallowed to work on other Grisha as per the queen's orders.

Genya does not enjoy silence. Quite the opposite, really - silence sets her on edge. She’s used to the bustle & chatter of the Grand Palace & Little Palace, & the silence makes her turn her thoughts inward far too much for her liking.
Genya is very vocal about what she likes to drink - champagne, & there’s no such thing as too much. she is specifically particular to a variety of the sparkling wine imported from Kerch via the southern colonies that has a honeycomb or yellow apple taste to it, but she’s hardly one to turn her nose up to whatever is being offered.
when she’s not indulging, she prefers tea from one of the samovars maintained for palace servants, where заварка (Zavarka, a tea concentrate - usually black with a smoky taste profile from the long caravans used to bring it to Os Alta) is brewed before being diluted with water from the base. she prefers her tea not especially strong, but still with more of a punch than many of the others might prefer.
She takes her tea with jam - peach during the summer, as that’s what’s grown in the hot houses in the Little Palace, or plum during the rest of the year. this is usually by taking a spoonful of jam & setting it on her tongue before drinking, & it’s the last little tradition she has to remember her blood family by.

Faceclaim | Freddy Carter |
Note | This muse has incredibly triggering subject matter in both his background & his canon moving forward, & I will not blunt those things because doing so would take away from the accuracy of his portrayal. Please be aware of the triggers listed below that can & will be present, if only in a tertiary manner, throughout each of his interactions. |
Endemic triggers | Gore, excessive violence, body horror, disturbing though patterns, haphephobia, skin hunger & resulting/related violence. |
Shipping notes | bi-romantic, bi-sexual but severely touch repulsed. |
Romantic shipping | Kaz is very difficult to ship with, given his canon compounded trauma & touch aversion, so I'll be approaching romantic shipping very loosely with him, & it will not be a priority. |
in Kaz's canon verses, he is between 17-26, & as such, I do not feel comfortable shipping him with anyone over the age of 30 at this time. | |
platonic/found family | On the other hand, once Kaz has invested emotionally in someone, he has a loyalty streak that's miles deep. This is an avenue that's always available - with plotting - & will be much easier to form with him... comparatively speaking. |

important notes
most important: Kaz suffers from extreme haphephobia (fear of touch) due to deeply ingrained childhood trauma. He only removes his gloves in front of Inej & would not under any circumstances do so in front of anyone else unless significantly plotted.
He does not respond well to touch, & will react angrily to it at bare minimum. He is known to take a hand from those who lay them on him, so please keep this in mind when interacting with him.
in modern verses, I have edited his backstory a touch to keep his characterization consistent even in verses where it would not be congruent with worldbuilding for him to have suffered a bad break & had it set improperly, as well as to keep the level of trauma he would have endured because of the reaper's barge consistent even without the event itself being possible.
differences in show vs novel
an important note that the show's first season is largely an invented plot to server as a prequel to Six of Crows, & it's possible that the second season will feature the book's plot more properly. that being said, this changes the timeline as in the books, the events of shadow & bone take place several years before six of crows.
Kaz's age: his age is fluid depending on which canon I'm interacting with. Book muses will see book!aged Kaz, show muses will see an older Kaz. Modern verse, I write him around early to mid 20s
The DeKappel Painting (s1e1): diverging from the show, inej & kaz instead stole a painting from the merchant Jan Van Eck worth almost 100,000 kruge. Kaz keeps this painting rolled up under his bed in the Slat.
Kaz' eye color: I default to the book - his eyes are brown.

important note: Kaz's general job description & characterization do not change heavily, nor will his backstory. Many of the verses listed below are variations on the same thing for ease of interaction with a wide variety of muses in varied settings.
in terms of backstory: in AU verses, I will default to Kaz & his family having succumbed to a freak outbreak of an unknown hemorrhagic poxvirus, & Kaz survived after spending 8 days laying feverish beside them as an updated point of reference to account for having same-similar levels of trauma to his canon backstory.
in terms of his disability: in any verse variant enough that his backstory warrants tweaking, Kaz will suffer from significant osteonecrosis instead of an unhealed break to convey the same level of disability within a worldbuild where his break going improperly healed would be otherwise implausible. He is disabled, & I will not be writing that out in an iteration of his character.
