ACTIVE TIMES/PACE: All over the fucking place tbh
BRACKETS/PROSE: Pretty equal preference for either, honestly. If I'm tagging someone else's starter, I'll match their format. If you want to tag one of my own bracket starters with prose (or vice versa), feel free; I'll swap over!
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: I'm generally fine with having any topic discussed/touched on ICly, provided that it's warned for as necessary and handled with respect OOCly (IC disrespectfulness is par for the course sometimes and is definitely not a dealbreaker for me).

IN CHARACTER
PHYSICAL AFFECTION: OOCly, I'm down with whatever; ICly, despite sometimes coming off as superficially friendly, Root is actually a very guarded person with an extremely high threshold for affection/closeness. She's not the type to spook at it, or get angry/offended, but she may step away from it and/or respond with condescension.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: OOCly, I'm down with it (though I'll admit up top that I'm not the best at writing lengthy fight scenes); ICly, she's pretty used to physical fights by this point, and she'll roll with it!
RELATIONSHIPS: Unexpected things happen in RP and I generally take a "never say never" approach, but Root is already head over heels for her gal at home (with a side order of angsty pining, since said gal is currently being held captive by an enemy organization and Root doesn't know for sure that she's even still alive). On top of that, she's a huge misanthrope whose baseline respect for others starts close to zero. That said, she's hardly a stickler for conventionality/monogamy, and striking up something with somebody wouldn't be completely out of the realm of possibility if the right person came along - as long as they didn't expect her to give up on/move on from her current love interest, that is. If it ever does become relevant, I play her as pretty gay (maybe a Kinsey 5 or 5.5?), but without any attachment to labels.
PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: She has zero psychic powers or defenses, and depending on the context, would either be irritated by or intrigued by someone poking and prodding around in her head without permission. OOCly I'm fine with it, though; feel free to contact me for more info on what her reaction would be in a given context and/or what your character might see inside her head.
MAGICAL INFORMATION: She has no magical or supernatural abilities.
MEDICAL INFORMATION: Physically fit and healthy. Mentally, uh, less so. She has a highly negative view of humanity as a whole that she's all too happy to extend to individuals, but when she does care about someone, she throws her whole self into loving and protecting them whether they want her to or not, and her respect for most social boundaries is, uh, dubious. She's not violent or aggressive unless she has a reason to be, but that reason might not match up with conventional morality, so! Finally, she's super codependent with a sentient artificial superintelligence that she prefers to have 24/7 contact with, to the point that she had hardware installed in her inner ear to allow for a permanent uninterrupted audio feed. She views the AI as a god, sees acting as its Analog Interface (its designated role for her!) to be her primary purpose in life, and is perfectly comfortable surrendering her personhood in order to serve as its literal mouthpiece, suppressing her own words and personality in order to convey the AI's (an example of her doing this is here - though the AI genuinely loves and cares for her as an individual, and does not ask her to do this often). When the AI isn't talking to her, she's functional, but she feels as if an essential part of herself is missing. The AI being incapable of not only talking to her, but also seeing or monitoring her, will be crazy-making.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: No full-on triggers, and I'm honestly struggling to come up with any subjects that she'd take immediate offense to regardless of context; she's a highly emotional person, but also a person with a lot of emotional armor, not to mention a lower-than-average level of care for the thoughts and opinions of others. The closest things would probably be joking or cavalier mentions of young women being preyed on by men, or cruel comments about any of her Important People that she might mention (stuff on the level of "they sound weird lol" would be fine, but "you won't be able to protect them and they're all going to die brutal deaths" would get her hackles up). OOCly, I'm fine with any of these subjects/situations coming up in threads.

OUT OF CHARACTER
BACKTAGGING: Always!
THREADHOPPING: I love multiperson threads, but unless the nature of the post makes it clear that it's a complete free-for-all, check in with me and my thread partner just in case!
FOURTHWALLING: I generally find it more fun when CR can develop without one character coming pre-packaged with lots of metaknowledge, but I'm not 100% opposed to the idea in all situations. I don't think there are any canons that canonically reference Person of Interest as a fictional show, but if I'm wrong and you really want your character to recognize Root, hit me up and we can chat!
NOT INTERESTED IN: Nothing immediately springs to mind!

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
VISUAL: Tall and willowy.
AURAL: High-pitched and feminine.
OLFACTORY: Nothing unusual/notable.
DEMEANOUR: This varies wildly depending on who she's talking to, what image she's trying to convey, and (if relevant) what fake identity she's using. She's a master actress, and she can dress up in whatever demeanor she needs to.
