specifics;
physical contact. Viserys is not particularly interested in random people just touching him, partially because he has a lot of self-importance, but primarily because he is paranoid. Unfamiliar faces getting into his space and putting their hands on him is immediately processed as a threat and he will likely lash out as a response.
physical affection. Touch and affection aren't things that he's very familiar with, though he very much craves both. Because his father was obsessed with the idea of someone meaning him harm as a child, for the first five years of his life, Viserys was deprived of most contact with anyone, and his mother only existed in his life very briefly as she died in childbirth.
magic & mind reading. While Viserys has no notable skills or talent in magic, there is magic in his blood as there is with all Targaryens. This magic is what allows them to bond with and command dragons and anyone sensitive to magic might see or sense this. Mentally, he has no barriers or resistances to mind reading, so anyone interested or willing to poke into his brain would not have trouble with doing so, though he has a lot of trauma they would have to wade through. For surface level reading (anything in the introspection in prose, or in brackets), I'm okay with a character picking up on; for anything deeper (including memories, motivations, etc), please reach out.
health & physical appearance. Viserys is as healthy as one can be when they have struggled most of their lives just to find food. He is lean, bordering on slightly gaunt, with worry lines carved into his face and an almost permanent scowl. His stomach is quite sensitive and he prefers to eat small meals that are bland so that he can tolerate them better. His Targaryen ancestry makes it so that he is resistant to most diseases which is a small miracle because his immune system is weak.
fights, injuries, & death. After a lifetime of struggle, wanting, and starvation, Viserys is hardly in any position to fight and he'd never really be able to hold his own. If he picks up a sword, he holds it like a child playing with a knife and is more likely to injure himself than the other party. That isn't to say he's completely defenceless, just that he doesn't necessarily fight fair. As for conflict, he is primed to find himself in the thick of it, so fight him if you don't mind beating up someone who really can't defend himself. For minor injuries, a heads up is appreciated but not needed. Major injuries would need more of a conversation, and death is going to be a hard sell.
romance, relationships, & shipping. Truthfully, he isn't particularly interested in romance because he is certain that anyone who approaches him is looking to use him for something or another. Viserys has never explored any real attraction to anyone and while he does yearn for some kind of real, genuine connection, he keeps his heart and his desires to himself, afraid to be taken advantage of. A relationship with him, if it's going to mean anything, will take time and a considerable amount of patience. And probably a little abstinence, honestly.
notes. Okay with NPC interactions.
⚠️ content warnings. For those unfamiliar with A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones, Viserys' backstory (and the world in general) involves incest, child abuse, child brides, violence against children, violence in general, systemic misogyny, paranoia, madness, sexual assault, sex work, slavery, starvation, stealing. Feel free to use this as an opt-out post for this character. No hard feelings.
