Introduction

Irwin Wade is a former WWII medic who died about a week after D-Day when he was shot five times during his squad's risky attempt to take out a machine gun nest on their mission to find and bring home a soldier whose three brothers were KIA. He has a reserved, mild-mannered, and compassionate disposition with nerves of steel and a strong stomach, but he's quick to unwisely endanger himself if he feels like he's needed. He has medical knowledge from his training as a medic, four years of medical school, and half of a required internship, but he's not a fully fledged doctor because he died before he could go through the several-year-long mandatory internship/residency process.

Out of Character Backtagging. Absolutely! Threadhopping. Ask first. Fourthwalling. No. Offensive subjects: None in particular, although severe gratuitous eye trauma squicks me out. Smut: No - fade to black, although I also prefer to discuss what transpired during the fade so that we're on the same page if it gets referenced to IC. Shipping Shipping is possible with Wade, but he's generally a pretty reserved person and takes a while to form interpersonal bonds. You don't need to ask if you want your character to feel onesided sexual and/or romantic attraction to him and I don't see that kind of thing as ship-pushing; be aware, however, that there's no guarantee he'll return it. I write him as bisexual and monogamous. Hugging this character. It'll catch him off-guard, and he may not like it. Wade's not super physically affectionate. You're welcome to try, though! Kissing this character. Depends on how well you know him. He's going to find any sort of platonic greeting kiss very jarring and will see it as a well-meaning invasion of his personal space. Romantic partners are welcome to go for it, though. Provided he has like, a moment to see it coming he'll react like most people will. Flirting with this character. Feel free. Irwin's not that flirtatious and his responses if he's interested are going to reflect that; if he's not interested, he'll shrug it off.

In Character Fighting this character. It's very, very unlikely that your character will succeed in getting Wade to engage in any sort of physical altercation with them, but they're welcome to come at him. He knows how to block and got self-defense training along with the combatants when he was training as a Ranger, but your character will likely have a physical advantage over him - Wade's in good shape but not particularly strong, and he's also 5'7" and 138lbs, so like. Hurting this character. Go for it, but nothing that would be fatal within the premises of the game. Using telepathy on this character. Ask first, please! It helps to be able to coordinate these things ooc beforehand. Warnings Wade comes from a very graphically violent canon and a very violent time. Discussions of things typical to war like violence, blood, death, severe injuries, etc. will likely show up in tags. Wade's death was pretty grisly, and any recollections of it are likely to reference that. Being that he is a medical man, Wade doesn't shy away from "gross" sensitive topics, and he'll speak about them very plainly. Also, if you're trying to quit smoking/have quit and cigarettes are a trigger for you, please be aware that Wade's a smoker and cigarettes and smoking may be mentioned in tags!
