[IC]
Hugging: ABSOLUTELY
Kissing: YES though if your name is not Katsuki Yuuri, he might fend you off from more
Flirting: ALL THE TIME
Fighting: I'm pretty much down for anything, just please communicate OOCly!
Injuring: ditto above
Killing: ditto again
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on: More then welcome to use them on him! He's just an ordinary figure skater with no mental shields. Anyone who pokes around in his head will find that he hides some of his intentions behind a pleasant smile and goofy act, but also that he's an actually seriously determined person with hard moral lines. He also is very good at keeping his temper in check so it's hard to actually make him angry without some influence on him.

[OOC]
Backtagging: Yes! I will backthread for forever if allowed
Threadhopping: Absolutely! I tend not to make posts or even top-comment threads so I can only encourage threadhopping me
Fourthwalling: Sure! I just ask to limit the exposure because it's no fun to learn his whole life story in the first five minutes :C recognizing him is a-okay tho
Offensive subjects: Can't think of anything /o/

Powers

So Viktor has the following powers in MoM:

Skate Anywhere (non-canon): Viktor will be able to "ice skate" along practically any surface, using his feet to slightly hover over the surface, and this can extend to any vehicle he's in as well. It doesn't actually create ice underneath his feet, and Viktor will also have to deal with the texture of the surface he's on as well as any other potential danger it poses; wiping out on concrete and gravel is NOT pretty after all. He can also skate along air as well, but he has to be in a continual skating motion in order to stay aloft; the moment he stops moving, he'll fall to the ground.
EXTRA Magic (non-canon): Because Viktor Nikiforov is nothing if not Extra in all things. This is an umbrella power that covers the following:
- Poodle Transformation: Inspired by his own pet poodle, Viktor can troll people by morphing into a large, silver-beige (or cafe au lait) poodle with curly hair that looks very similar to his own pet at will. He won't be able to talk when he's in this form, but he'll retain his own mind. It's an excellent way to surprise people, after all!
- Uncontrollable Sexual Eros: Falling in line with his idol!!1` status in the show, there will be a subliminal effect that he has on others, causing them to desire him and want in his pants unexpectedly. Viktor would just roll with it since he basically deals with things like that anyway. It doesn't happen 100% of the time though, it just turns on or off without preamble, and Viktor has no control over it.
Self-Sacrificial Healing (non-canon): What it says on the tin. Viktor will have the ability to heal injuries by taking them on himself. This can extend to two areas of "injury":
- Physical injuries: if Person X had a broken arm, Viktor would then have a broken arm while Person X is healed completely. The person he's healing would be fine within a minute or so of him taking the injury, but the cost to himself varies in intensity proportional to the injury he's taking on; a cut finger would take maybe a minute to heal, a broken bone a couple of hours, a severe injury like a head or stab wound a day or three, and a life-threatening injury a week.
- Empathy: if Person X is having a panic attack or just a really sad-as-hell day, Viktor would then be twitchy, irritable, and sad for a while where Person X is now chill and calm. Again, the cost to Viktor would vary in intensity proportional to the "injury" he's taking on; a panic attack would leave him on edge and paranoid for a few days, where a bad mood or simply worried about something would make him irritable until the end of the day.

WHAT THESE POWERS MEAN TO YOUR CHARACTER / OPT-INS:

So Viktor has the power of Eros and Healing! Basically, Eros is the ability to compel people to feel mushy/romantic/sexual things about him, and the Healing can range from making your character feel better about their day to saving their life from a shot/stabbing/maiming/etc.

However, while I say "compel" up there, these are 100% opt-in effects. You may either comment to this post saying you're okay with having the power used on you on purpose OR you can decide in thread if you want your character to react/heal in any capacity. If you don't respond to this post/thread, then I will assume that the powers aren't working unless you specifically reference it happening in the thread.

IF you choose to have your character be affected by Eros, they may feel any of the following effects:

Mild euphoria
An urge to proclaim love/fondness
An urge to be especially helpful
Sexual/romantic attraction (may depend on character sexuality)
Some combination of the above

The Eros effect tends to be much stronger when Viktor is skating (picture a WicDiv-esque effect, complete with some people being like THIS DUDE IS AMAZING and some people being like WTF IT'S JUST FIGURE SKATING). Usually these feelings are directed towards Viktor in some way, but if you'd rather get gooshy about your bae that's okay too. Also, the effect is significantly diluted over the network/communication/text/etc. Much stronger in person.

These feelings typically only last for a few minutes at most. In the case of skating-induced euphoria, it lasts for the length of the performance + a few minutes afterwards. If you really want it to affect your character more strongly, then go for it. But generally speaking it's a quick, mild effect.

Viktor is unable to control his Eros power, having his good-feelings aura on most of the time. It does turn off occasionally on its own, but Viktor has gotten in the habit of just wearing a power nullifier. Sometimes. When he skates. ... If he remembers. Blanket permission is granted to blame this dumb, soft boy for soft feelings.

IF you choose to have your character be affected by Healing, they may feel any of the following effects:

Instant healing of an immediate or apparent physical injury
Relief from a chronic pain/illness
Inducing a calm or happy mental state
Easing of a mental affliction
Grab bag of whatever "healing" applies to your character

For any healing to take place, Viktor would need to be in direct physical contact with the character. This can be as simple as a handshake or pat on the shoulder to pressing a hand directly on top of an injury.

The healing will be unconscious to Viktor at first, unable to control it because he's unaware of it happening (though he'll figure it out real quick with physical injuries). Once made aware of his healing powers, he will gradually learn to control it so he's not accidentally healing someone when he touches them or brushes their arm by mistake.

For healing physical injuries, this can be as simple as a POOF IT'S HEALED or you can watch flesh knit back together, completely up to you how graphic it can be. If it's a chronic pain or illness, you can choose if this healing is only a temporary measure or a permanent one. If it's a pain from something like an old injury/scar/what-have-you, if the injury itself has been healed, the scar or mark itself will not be healed, only the pain underlying it.

For empathic healing, these can also be a temporary healing or a permanent one, it's 100% up to you. If your character is a Negative Nelly but you want them to actually have a goddamed good day for once, then Viktor can make them an optimist for a couple days (while Viktor becomes grumpy and irritable for a few hours). If they're a worry wart who can't sleep due to constantly worrying over something, then Viktor can provide them a few nights rest.

Bigger injuries or mental illnesses such as life-threatening wounds or mental breakdowns/psychosis/insanity, etc., I'd appreciate some discussion with you first! That way we can iron out some OOC details like having other characters available that can provide support for Viktor in the case of a life-threatening wound he takes on or how your character's mental illness would translate over to Viktor. I'm very much open to any of those kinds of "injuries", but they would definitely have an effect on his castmates and other close CR.

Comment here if you'd like your character to be affected by Viktor's powers! And/or if you'd like them to try using them on your character specifically.
