❦ ACTIVE TIMES/PACE: CET and while it depends, I try for at least one tag every day.
❦ BRACKETS/PROSE: While I do prefer prose, brackets are fine as well.
❦ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: N/A
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
❦ VISUAL: Blue-green eyes, usually with kohl around them. Brown, curly hair to a bit below the shoulders (yes, I know the PB doesn't match that, but I haven't found one I like that works completely with what I imagine). 161 cm tall, for a Bronze Age adjusted height (shorter than average), a more modern but still short height would be at 169 cm tall. Just broad-shouldered enough he isn't completely slender and has some heft, but otherwise built long-limbed and graceful. Olive skin, tans easily and well.
❦ AURAL: Pleasant voice, but not particularly deep, sounds a little like he's smiling while he talks, usually well-spoken. Excellent singing voice, very flexible in that matter.
❦ OLFACTORY: Usually smells of something pleasant, whatever unguents/incense/scented oils he might have gotten his hands on. Not afraid to switch it up, will absolutely change out a scent if someone he's interested in has expressed preference for one or another and he doesn't find it odious.
❦ DEMEANOUR: Smiles and laughs a lot. Pretty forward conversationally, but will listen avidly when someone else talks, as well. Relaxed and composed (well, seemingly) often even in the face of someone being angry at him.
❦ FASHION: The Bronze Age equivalent of a fashion maven honestly. He likes to dress as nicely as he can, even back when he was a cowherd and didn't have much means to do so. Being a prince only means he has more resources and ability. Nice fabrics, embroidery, jewellery - it all gets worn with exacting care and attention to detail (and more caring than he should be about it).

IN CHARACTER
❦ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Will give it as much as he loves to get it. Overtures will usually not be rebuffed, and if they are he'll be subtle about it. Hugs, brief touches, etc, are all possible even when he's newly met someone, if they would welcome it.
❦ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Bruises and rough handling, small cuts and even broken bones don't need to be discussed. Paris will defend himself however, and while he's not the most amazing warrior, he's competent enough.
❦ RELATIONSHIPS: Bisexual and definitely not conflicted about it.
❦ PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: More strong-willed than he might appear on first (or second, or third) glance, but he's lived his whole life flouting societal expectations and pretty much laughing it off, so while he has no psychic powers himself, he would be able to put up some resistance to mind-reading (and perhaps mind-control?), but nothing exceptional.
❦ MAGICAL INFORMATION: Plain human, even if he comes with a couple subtle perks he doesn't really notice himself (jewellery he wears doesn't tarnish, his hair doesn't tangle even when left free, he doesn't have to shave as often as he probably should. This is nothing under Paris' control, it's all Aphrodite). Is a favourite of Aphrodite, as well.
❦ MEDICAL INFORMATION: Healthy enough, though he does have some faint scars scattered here and there thanks to childhood injuries and weapons' practice.
❦ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: (Averted) infant murder in the form of exposure. Will only come up if discussion of Paris' childhood/his fate is talked about, but might be acknowledged in narrative. Equally, presence of verbal abuse.

OUT OF CHARACTER
❦ SHIP PREFS: Menelaus, Helen. I won't say no to other male canonmates either. While I would prefer platonic with Hector, I would be (very) interested in exploring it as an incestuous relationship as well.
❦ BACKTAGGING: Absolutely.
❦ THREADHOPPING: Sure.
❦ FOURTHWALLING: Would rather not (aside from in context of reincarnation AUs and dealing with the fact that what at first only seems to be a fictional story is proven to be very, very real).
❦ NOT INTERESTED IN: Character death, torture, horror.

Some various sources
Date: 2022-09-18 12:31 am (UTC)Rawlinson Excidium Troiae (c. 6th Century AD): After [Paris] had grown up, his guardian clothed him in big clothes, to then assume pastoral habit. And he came to be the most renowned among the shepherds. To him, Paris, a bull of extraordinary size was born in his herd. That bull fought with other bulls of the shepherds and won against every single one of them. After Paris had seen him always being the victor, he gave him a golden crown between his horns. Seeing this, Mars transformed himself into the form of a bull and showed himself to fight with Paris’ bull. He, Mars, being in the form of a bull, fought Paris’ bull, and Mars stood as the victor. Then Paris, seeing Mars in the form of a bull, surmounted his bull and gave Mars the crown which he previously put on his bull. And because he served justice and he did not hinder himself, he was called a just judge. This opinion of him spread out. Thus Jupiter rightfully sought him as a judge between the three goddesses. {From Excidium Troiae or Destruction of Troy by an anonymous author, translated by Muhammad Syarif Fadhlurrahman}
From Ptolemaeus Chennus:
Helen had a daughter by Alexander; they disagreed about the name to hive here; he wanted to call her Alexandra, she wanted to call her Helen; Helen carried her in a 'partie d'osselets' and the infant received the same name as her mother; this daughter was killed, it is said, by Hecuba when Troy was taken. (Not considered canon, as I don't usually go with Helen and Paris having children; other sources give them a number of sons, too, however.)
Apollo organised funeral games in honour of Python; Hermes contributed to it, like Aphrodite; she won and accepted as prize a zither which she gave as a gift to Alexander.
(The versions and details in Chennus' New History are all kind of questionable, but I like cherry-picking from it, in particular the gift of the lyre/zither.)
Quick kinklist

Anal (receiving preferred, but either is fine)
Femdom
Oral sex (either)
Dom/sub (as sub) - also BDSM AUs
Bondage
Intercrural (either)
PIV (as part of femdom, so Amazon position or various woman on top is preferred, unless we really lean into that she's in control of the whole thing)
Riding
Collars
Breastplay
Nipples
Height/Size-difference/kink
Sensationplay (ice, wax, knifeplay without actual cutting, etc)
Maybe not feminization exactly, but acknowledging and leaning into his effeminacy. He likes being pretty and this remarked upon.
IC limit
Painplay/sadism and masochism
Spanking (The player likes it and would encourage it, Paris himself will not be fond of it, unless it's very light.)
Humiliation, physical or verbal (OOC limit as well; dirty talk and playfully calling him a slut or "made for this" or similar is fine and he'll be into that, but for serious and meant as insulting, no.)
No
Scat
Watersports
Rimming
Kinky AUs/plot tropes
Omegaverse (as an omega, or, because I do love this, an alpha turned into an omega)
BDSM AU, as mentioned above
Sex pollen
Pet person AU
Paris-as-aphrodisiac/it feels extra good to have sex with him; I don't generally use the idea of the machlosyne/becoming the most attractive part that Aphrodite's gift includes some sort of sex powers, but it would be fun to play with! Just let me know.
Sex slave AUs (as some twist on Paris surviving the war or something more freehand, whichever)
