CANON

canon: Original
quick rundown: Erik Ejnar Bertelsen is the youngest son of E. A. Bertelsen, honourable judge in Copenhagen, and was originally destined to be a doctor, but against his father's wishes, he would exchange his anatomy books with the Greek New Testament and study theology instead, having felt called to priesthood since boyhood. Now a serious, young man of 28, he has graduated university and accepted a position as assisting minister in the rural town in Jutland called Hølling. In the year of the Lord, 1904, he travels from all of Copenhagen's liberties to the backward and old-fashioned town where his modern ideas and interpretations aren't at first very welcome. Especially the aging Pastor Frost becomes an adversary to fear. However, through Erik's blossoming friendship with the local squire's youngest son, Johannes Hoffmann, the conservative community slowly begins opening its arms to him. As their friendship begins taking on a romantic air, the two men will soon have to decide whether to stay in Hølling and give up their relationship or travel together to Copenhagen where, in the end, a little more freedom can be had.
canon point: Can play from any point after he arrives in Hølling.



PLAYER

contact: PM to this journal. thewriteway.
active times/pace: CEST/CET player. Tries to be online at least during the evening my time, but it varies. More one tag a day player than anything, but if you hit me up at the right time, I can still boomerang a bit.
brackets/prose: Definitely brackets preference, but will match. I default to present tense, but can also match other tenses.
offensive subjects/triggers: Not any.



IN CHARACTER

physical affection: Go for it. Reactions may vary depending on CR, but for the most part he'll be a good sport about it, if a little stiff.
physical violence: I'd prefer not.
relationships: Generally, gen. However, if romance should happen, it'll always be M/M.
psychic info: He has no mental barriers and will be an easy read. Ask if you need more info.
magical info: No magical powers. Will engage with characters that have them on a case to case basis.
medical info: Perfect health, thanks for asking.
offensive subjects: Expect a lot of theological and Christian topics to come up, especially in a historical light, as well as period-typical homophobia and sexism, though Erik is liberal for his time. If you don't wish to engage with this character, let me know here and I'll avoid tagging you.



OUT OF CHARACTER

backtagging: Yes, please!
threadhopping: No.
fourthwalling: No.
not interested in: Smut.
