OOC;

Backtagging: my pace varies depending on my schedule and attention span so yes, definitely. i'm also terribly forgetful so don't hesitate to poke me if i haven't tagged back in a while!
Threadjacking: go right ahead!
Fourth-walling: please ask first!
Off-Limits: godmodding decisions for shiro, reactions, feelings, etc. i don't mind if you have to move him elsewhere, for instance, just don't rp him for me, basically.
Shipping: soft spot for eventual, older sheith, open to cross-canon ships!
Misc: PTSD is a thing, anxiety, depression... all of that simmering beneath a semi-cracked veneer of "must attend to everyone's needs before my own". white-haired. no longer missing an arm (new arm engineered by chu wanning).

IC; BASICS

Hugging: yes! just don't sneak up on him.
Flirting: please embarrass him. as much as you possibly can.
Kissing: go for it, though it might not be reciprocated!
Romance: shiro's not in a super great mental space for romance right now, and even tho he does have feelings for a certain someone, he'll probably convince himself otherwise, unleash wisdom and realize he's not ready for anything, or self-sabotage and accept that he's not good enough for anyone. maybe a mix of all three.
Fighting: BRING IT.
Injury: yes!
Mind-reading: let's discuss first, but yes!
Manipulation: idem!

MISC

shiro's 33% astronaut, 33% soldier, 33% snuggleable, 1% idiot and 100% gay. trained at galaxy garrison (which is NASA but militarized for… some reason). he was abducted by purple aliens, tortured, fitted with a cybernetic arm (which he doesn't have anymore) and made to fight in a gladiator ring for sport. after a year of that fun time, he wound up as the black paladin of voltron (he piloted a giant cat robot!!) and led a resistance against the galra empire ( the aliens who abducted him ). he has some massive trauma and hang-ups (he died on top of everything else, was cloned, and his conscience was then transferred into one of said clones... it's messed up), but for the most part, he’s still a pretty chill dude.
