PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Keith isn't great at physical affection with people outside his circle. It takes a lot for him to warm up to people, so be prepared for an initial rejection when it comes to hugs and stuff. Shoulder pats are okay. If you do end up in his circle, though, hugging is fine, too.

PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: If you hit him, he'll hit back. He's not shy about punching people he thinks deserve it. He rarely initiates, but, if you come at him, he will defend and fight back.

ROMANCE/FLIRTING: /insert math meme here/ Keith is really bad at picking up on cues like this. Most likely, unless it's really obvious what the other person is doing, Keith won't figure it out. Good luck. That said, if he does realize it, he'll likely be pretty awkward and flustered about it at first, even more so if the feelings are mutual. He'll do his best to turn a person down gently, but he can be kind of blunt when it comes to his word choices. Sorry.

SEXUAL CONTENT: Being somewhat adverse to physical contact in general, Keith is definitely not the casual sex type. If others want to do that and talk about it, fine. That's their thing. But, he needs to feel comfortable enough with you to go there.

PSYCHIC ABILITIES: Keith is shown to have a very mild form of precognition and that might actually be more related to his connection to quintessence than actual psychic powers. It's very unlikely he has any real resistance to that sort of thing. However, the idea of communication using the mind is not entirely foreign to him, as the bonds between Paladin and Lion are similar to psychic bonds.

MAGIC/POWERS: Keith's Galra half gives him a mild sensitivity to quintessence, which is Voltron's version of a type of life force. It can be used to heal, create energy, and as a catalyst for alchemy. He can pick up on sources of strong quintessence and track them down. He also can learn to work quintessence powered items very quickly and do some pretty advanced stuff with them (like his bayard and Lion).

MEDICAL INFORMATION: Keith has been injured quite a few times in canon, but doesn't seem to exhibit any lasting effects. As the show was TV-Y7, none of his injuries showcased actual blood, so I'm kind of just going on logic of what would have been had the show been less restricted. First, he received an energy burn to his right hand in the first season while fighting a Galra druid. It was healed almost immediately with pure quintessence goo. I play that there is an extremely faint burn scar on his hand that leaves the skin feeling somewhat different than his other hand. His second injury was in the second season, during the Trials for the Blade of Marmora. While he received a lot of less severe injuries in that fight, the worst was to his right shoulder, and I play that a scar was left that starts at the top of his shoulder and comes down to about an inch below his collarbone. The only time we see him sleeping casually after that, he's on his left side, so I also headcanon that it bothers him if he sleeps awkwardly on his right side. In season four, he's nicked by shrapnel after an explosion that leaves a hole in his armored Blade of Marmora suit, causing air to leak out while in space. I play that he has a small scar there, along his waist on his left side. His most notable scar is the one on the right side of his face, where Shiro's clone burned him with an energy blade during their battle at the end of season 6. It starts just under the inner corner of his right eye and extends diagonally down and to his right to end at the back of his jawline, progressively growing wider from a point at the top to about an inch across at the bottom. At his point in canon, he's also just recovered from severe exhaustion due to quintessence drain and a bad head injury where he'd been unconscious for some time. Canon isn't specific, but they give the impression he was the last of the team to reawaken after the battle.

OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS OR TRIGGERS: Racism, clones, bullying, genocide, slavery

BACKTAGGING: I will backtag forever.

FOURTH WALLING: If I can avoid it with Keith, great. I can also push him to live in mild denial due to his stubborn nature if needed. Just chat with me first. :)

THREADHOPPING: Not a problem. Just give me a heads up.

CONTENT I ABSOLUTELY NEED WARNINGS FOR, BUT CAN STILL PLAY: Torture, sexual content, suicide, abuse (physical or emotional). There may be times, however, when I can't play this due to current mindset, so please just ask.

CONTENT I ABSOLUTELY NEED WARNINGS FOR AND THAT I CAN'T PLAY: There might be times when I'm not able to play the above items, but not always. Just please check with me on any of those first.

ANYTHING ELSE: I generally don't write out smut in detail. However, I'm not adverse to Keith participating in sexual activities in the right situations for his character. Plotting it out, and then maybe doing a fade-to-black or timeskip is my usual go-to in this case. However, if I'm comfortable enough, I can sometimes play this out. As always, just feel free to ask. I love OOC communication, and want to be as approachable as possible. Thanks!
