↬ Back-Tagging
Definitely!
↬ Thread-Hopping
Ask me first, but I’ll probably be fine with it.
↬ Fourth Wall Breakage
Arid comes from a pretty obscure indie game, so fourth-walling is generally pretty unlikely, but if you've got a cool idea, feel free to let me know.
↬ Offensive Topics
Warn for excessive gore/torture, please!
↬ Anything Else?
Arid’s canon explores some very triggery issues and I’d like to avoid anyone being caught off-guard. If this at all concerns you, please read the Content Warnings section below!
IC
↬ Hugging
Arid’s canon includes potentially triggering subject matter, including slavery, brainwashing, sex trafficking, and rape. Highlight for spoiler details.
Finally, Arid takes satisfaction in treating humans the same way they treat AI, including denigrating them for supposed deviance, defects, or malfunction. In canon, these remarks include occasional instances of ableism and heterosexism. I will always warn for these themes if they appear in one of Arid's top-levels and will only bring them up in existing threads if you opt-in, either in a screened comment below or in other plotting. Note that it's very possible to avoid these themes entirely; Arid is, at heart, an equal opportunity human-hater and is just as likely to call your character faulty for having a pollen allergy or throwing a bad punch. She does not actually hate any of these groups of humans any more than she does humans at large—she just does it to be an asshole to humans the same way she sees them as having been assholes to her.
↬ Anything Else?
Arid will probably just stand there awkwardly, but sure, go for it!
↬ Kissing
...Arid has no face, so uh… I guess you can kiss her helmet?
↬ Flirting
Sure! Just don’t expect reciprocation.
↬ Fighting
YES
↬ Injuring
Ask me first!
↬ Killing
Not without prior plotting.
↬ Telepathy
Arid is an AI, so I’m not sure telepathy would work on her. If your character has telepathy-like powers that do work on AI, go for it!
↬ Magic
Sure, but ask me before doing anything that might damage/alter her.
↬ Content Warnings NOTE: The following content warnings include spoilers for The Fall 2: Unbound.
Arid’s canon includes potentially triggering subject matter, including slavery, brainwashing, sex trafficking, and rape. Highlight for spoiler details.
Specifically, while under the effects of a mind-altering virus, Arid perpetrates an act of rape while possessing a female android host by forcing her to have sex with a human, who was himself coerced into the encounter. Though Arid is remorseful and will not perpetrate such an act again, these events are significant to her development and thus mention of them may come up in her tags. In addition, Arid is forcibly infected with a virus at the beginning of the game and refers to this event as being "violated." If you would like to opt-out of threading with Arid or would like me to avoid mentioning any of the above content in her threads with your character(s), please leave a screened comment below.

↬ Anything Else?
Arid has been infected with a virus that increases her perception of fear and can cause brief, panic attack-like episodes. I will use Arid's icons to indicate the severity of these episodes. Basically, the cloudier/tentacly-er her faceplate, the more you should be concerned :|b
