info & permissions.




basics

CANON POINT: flexible but defaults to current canon (end of 8a)

CHARACTER IN A NUTSHELL: buck is a firefighter, emt, and the distilled essence of golden retriever in a human body. a bisexual disaster and a bit of a himbo, you can generally expect to get decent conversation, weird facts, and an offer to help with whatever it is that ails you out of this gentle giant.

VISUAL IMPRESSIONS: 6'2" and 200+lbs of pure muscle, buck is the epitome of the term "gentle giant" with brown curly hair, blue eyes, and weirdly long legs. he's got a birthmark around the end of his left eyebrow, acne scars on his cheeks, and numerous inconsistent tattoos. if he's wearing shorts you might catch him with compression sleeve on his left leg or a bunch of scars from where it was crushed and then surgically repaired.

AUDITORY IMPRESSIONS: he's got a slightly raspy voice that can sometimes sound a little strained or caught in the back of his throat. when he's nervous he can have a slight stutter.

FLIRTING: yes!! he will have a lot of fun flirting back and may or may not ask your character out depending on how things go alskdjf

PHYSICAL AFFECTION: go for it! buck loves physical affection of all kinds and is, uh. very good with certain kinds of physicality, let's say, wink wonk.

PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: all good, provided there are no life-altering injuries or character death without previous discussion. buck, while absolutely being more of a lover than a fighter, can throw a punch and will probably try to hit back.

MAGIC AND TELEPATHY: 9-1-1 is weird in that it is, ostensibly, a show that takes place in something like the real world. and yet curses and the supernatural are implied to be at least a little real?? so do with that what you will.

wrt using magic and telepathy on buck, you can feel free to go for it in most cases. his brain is probably not a fun place to be, though, as he has undiagnosed and untreated adhd, ptsd, and a whole huge heap of abandonment issues and poor self-esteem that he tries to hide. odds are stepping into his mind is like jumping into the spin cycle on a washing machine.

OFFENSIVE TOPICS: buck's story canonically contains elements of rape (though canon refuses to acknowledge it as such), self-harm through non-traditional means, passive suicidality, emotional abuse, child neglect, domestic abuse, and natural disasters. buck himself is likely to be triggered by unexpected gunfire or things that sound similar, tsunamis, and neglected kids.

BACKTAGGING: yes, always. i try to tag everything back at least once in a 24 hour period and will often boomerang network-style tags if i'm around.

FOURTH-WALLING: no thank you!

THREADHOPPING: if previously discussed, sure.

LOOKING FOR: castmates he can bounce off of. scenarios where he can stretch his little bi wings. meaty threads where issues (his or others) can get dug into. potentially scenarios where he can be good with kids.


shipping and such

in general, i'm always here for shippy things but it's not something i'm going to assume in a thread without prior discussion. i'm also down for smutty threads.

YES SHIPS: eddie, taylor (mmm delicious not-right-for-each-other-long-term doomed relationships...), bobby, ravi, cross-canon characters 25+ with a preference for older characters

MAYBE SHIPS: tommy, other castmates, younger cross-canon characters in select circumstances

NO SHIPS: characters under 18
