INFO & PERMISSIONS

IN CHARACTER
CONTENT WARNINGS - Alan Wake 2 is a psychological survival horror game. It features themes of cult violence, eldritch-like horrors, and the walking dead. Saga's character specifically intersects with child harm/death.

SPOILER WARNING - Details of Saga's personal identity and her abilities, which are important beats in the game's story, are likely to come up in threads and will be detailed in this info post.
ABOUT - Saga Anderson is an FBI profiler who finds herself embroiled in a horror story when the string of cult murders she's investigating alongside her long-time partner turns supernatural...and personal.

CANON POINT & SPOILERS - I'm flexible re: canon point depending on the needs of the thread. Love speculative 'What If?' timelines, AUs, etc.
SEXUALITY - This is RP and I make the rules, so bi/pan it is! I'll pursue chemistry in threads/psls if it seems interesting. That said, shipping isn't my focus with this character.
PHYSICAL AFFECTION - It's not her go-to method of communicating affection (which would be dorky jokes and sarcasm, bonus points if it makes the object of her affections cringe), but she's not against it. She'll assert her boundaries if someone is overly familiar.
FLIRTING - Haha cute. :)
RELATIONSHIPS - Saga is married to a guy who collects board games. If you could read minds, you'd probably also marry the lowest drama guy you've ever met. But if we want to explore some relationship in a thread/plot circumstances where that's viable, I'm open to it; PM me and we can chat about it.
FIGHTING/INJURY - Go for it. Saga is a trained federal agent and carries a gun (or two, give or take a hunting crossbow). She might kick your ass.
CHARACTER DEATH - Not interested in permadeath scenarios.
MINDREADING - Sure; shoot me a message and I'll give you the juicy details. ON THE FLIP SIDEβ€”Saga can read minds (to a certain extent; see abilities section below for details). If you want your character to be read, I'd be thrilled to get the hot goss.
DETAILS & ABILITIES
LOOK - Saga is 35, around 5'6, and is reasonably well put together for someone who's been running through the woods, getting attacked by zombies, and in general could probably use a vacation from the whole waking nightmare thing. She's portrayed by Melanie Liburd.
SOUND - Melanie Liburd doing an American accent.
DEMEANOR - Curious, intelligent, and enthused by the unknown, Saga is arguably the ideal hero to fall head first into a horror story turned real. She's analytical, but not cynical; she's emotional and empathetic, but unlikely to lose her head when the going gets (really) tough. Most importantly, she's a stubborn problem solver: if the supernatural wants to fuck with her, then she isn't going to let it win.

That's not how this story goes.
FBI SPECIAL AGENT - As a federal agent of the FBI, Saga is broadly good with firearms, fit, and knows how to handle herself in a fight. That said, her greatest asset is her curiosity and the enthusiasm with which she approaches solving a good mystery.
SEER - Saga is a Seer. She has certain clairvoyant abilities that allow her to perceive people and their intentions with supernatural clarity; given time to consider her subjects, she can pick up pieces of their thoughts, motivations, and what they may have done in the past. Long considered by Saga just to be a kind of intuition, the readings she gets from people are usually just helpful enough to help her with interpreting her situation or those around her more than they are crystal clear mind reading.
OUT OF CHARACTER
CONTACT - PM
AVAILABILITY & BACKTAGGING - Timezone: PST; I have an erratic work schedule, and thrive on backtags. Happy to migrate off meme communities into journal posts if something hits captcha.

I default to prose, but will match to brackets. I'm fine with any level of explicit sex/violence (though ftb is also fine). Heads up that I do 99.9% of my tagging on mobile, and occasionally get hit by some dorky autocorrect typos. It's not you, it's my thumbs.
THREADJACKING - No
FOURTHWALLING - Sure, though she'll scoff about it.
PREFER TO AVOID - Crack scenarios.
OFF LIMITS - No necessary trigger warnings, but I'm not interested in writing sexual assault.
