Out of Character
BACKTAGGING: ✔ ~1 month for chitchat. Threads with a clear plot/CR direction, until everything's sorted. If it's been 2+ weeks since the last tag came, I may ask to move on.
THREADHOPPING: ✔ with permission
FOURTHWALLING: ✘
SMUT: ✔ kink list HERE; happy to fade to black, as well
CANON: S3 preference. I'd rather not mix contradictory book/game characters or events with the show except under specific circumstances. I'll use the books to supplement, but I mostly consider the games a separate adaptation and prefer not to reference them.

In Character
PHYSICAL AFFECTION
Hugging ❖ Kissing ✔ Touching ✔ Hand-holding ❖
Geralt's reaction won't be negative, but he's rare to accept affection if you're not on familiar terms unless you're kissing/touching him to initiate (casual) sex. If you wanna fuck, he's pretty open. If you want to comfort or buddy up, you'll need to know him decently well.
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE
Fighting ✔ Injury ✔ Maiming ❖ Killing ❖
He's difficult to bait into a fight, but once he commits, he will not hold back. Heavy injuries are fine. Discuss for permanent loss of limbs or death. If you fuck with his loved ones in a real way (esp. Ciri), be aware he will be out for blood, so proper discussion is appreciated before things get out of hand. Geralt does not threaten or negotiate once you've crossed a line. He'll just put you down.
RELATIONSHIPS
Sex ✔ Flirting ✔ Romance ✘
Geralt is 100+ and is physically in his mid-30s. The youngest he'll go is mid-20s and on an OOC level, I prefer to trend older where possible (35 and up). He can flirt, though in his own coarse sort of way. Traditional romance is a no. He can and does love deeply, but conventional dating or commitment isn't happening. Sex will not make or break a relationship. If he trusts you, then that's what counts. Yennefer is a complication always; she will never not be present in some manner due to her connection to Ciri. Geralt does love her, always will; how fully he wants her in his life is an evolving matter depending on canonpoint. Poly/open relationships are on the table as long as everyone's in it for a good time. Gender is an afterthought, at best. If the attraction's mutual, he's in.
PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION
Mind reading ❖ Mind control ❖
Geralt has some solid defenses, largely due to the training around his mental fortitude. I'm open to it since it can definitely happen for various reasons (superficial thoughts, he's not in a good mental state, your character is especially willfully powerful) but ask first so we can work out the details of how it'll go down and/or I can give you info on what's going on inside his head.
PHYSIOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Sense his magic ✔ Reveal he isn't human ✔
Possesses minor magic known as Signs. He gives off a magical aura/hum, but it's less as someone who wields powerful magic and more as someone who was created via powerful magic. Has a fuckton of scars. He won't care much if you ask about them, though it's unlikely he'll offer any deep insight. His DNA has been mutated, but may still be recognizably human in some ways.

Assumptions
PHYSICAL CAPABILITIES ✔
Absolutely looks like he can handle himself. Geralt avoids showing off, but he won't hide that he has extra senses or his skill with a blade.
TRUE NATURE ✔
He's used to his eyes giving him away. Feel free to call him out on not being human.
SURFACE DETAILS ✔
If you want to handwave having heard of him, what he does, or his name, go for it. His work is reliant on him having a certain reputation and he has no desire to obscure that.
CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS ❖
Generally safe to assume his connection to Jaskier. For everyone else, it depends. Ask first if it's something you plan on using against him, etc.

Senses Permissions
Due to his heightened senses, Geralt can determine a number of things about a person by smelling them or listening to their heartbeat.

Content Warnings & Opt Out
The Witcher and Geralt's character in particular deals with a gamut of heavy topics including graphic violence, (non-sexual) childhood abuse/neglect + experimentation, child death, childhood abandonment, harm to animals (both domestic like horses and wild game), sexual assault (referenced by others), fantasy racism, genocide (of fantasy races), themes of war, generational trauma, and more. Overall, it's not a lighthearted world and interacting with him will likely bring some of these topics up to a degree.

SHIFTED FORM
➝ a white arctic wolf, but larger, roughly the size of a small bear. He retains his usual scars, most prominently one across his left flank and back. He can be easily identified as he still bears his medallion.
➝ as a wolf, Geralt will tend to seek out colder areas and will often hunt deer or rabbits in the woods.
➝ as of September, he is almost always accompanied by Jaskier and Yennefer, his bondmates.
TATTOOS
INKCHANTED
Received 09/30
Geralt has an enchanted tattoo of a swallow on his right shoulderblade.
When activated, it functions as a magical shield bubble similar to his Sign Heliotrop and will last about 5 seconds or if a single blow is powerful enough to dispel it entirely. It's capable of protecting him against: impact, physical attacks, and combat magic. The bubble can shield another person with him but they must be in close proximity (aka practically giving him a hug). It can be used a couple times before it requires an hour or so to draw its charge again.
To recharge the tattoo, Geralt wears an obsidian wolf's tooth pendant, on the same chain as his medallion.

JASKIER

HOUSING
LOCATION
The Haven - Fancy House/Mansion (shared with Yennefer and Jaskier)
GERALT'S ROOM
One can tell that Geralt's room hasn't been entirely, or even mostly, decorated by him, but it is decorated for him with simple dark colors and plain furnishings. The large windows give him easy access to the outside when he's in his wolf form. You'll find his swords and gear stored in a single wooden trunk, while the wardrobe contains a few items of clothing, some of which were procured for him by either Jaskier or Yennefer.
The room doesn't look especially lived in, considering more often than not, Geralt's wound up in the bed of another occupant in the house or he's fallen asleep in the woods somewhere. Don't judge him. That said, if he's been working on a contract, there might be notes and research spread out on the nearby desk.
