But I took your hand, promised I'd withstand any blaze you blew my way

Orthrus' backstory involves a lot of abuse, both physical and mental, pretty much all at the hands of one of his elder sisters. There's also some incestuous undertones to their relationship (it's... complicated, as his kind are biologically asexual or don't engage in romantic relationships with each other but like. It would be irresponsible of me to deny that there's still shit here that makes Orthrus himself very uncomfortable and I would prefer not upsetting anyone). There are also themes of genocide and child death, and most recently, some issues with consent (of a non sexual variety but like. Still. Covering my bases here).

While Orthrus is normally a very avoidant person when it comes to his trauma, and a lot of this did not come up in his last game, uh... some stuff has happened since then that there's a better chance it will this time, especially since it affects his current motivations. I will always use appropriate warnings if it comes up and it may be unavoidable in trials (depending on how things shake out of course), but PLEASE do not hesitate to use this opt out post if these are things you absolutely do not want to come up in one on one threads with him! (And even if you don't use this post I... will probably ask first if it's okay before bringing it up anyway dklghjsdkl I TAKE THIS REALLY SERIOUSLY OKAY...)

You can also use this post to opt in and let me know you're okay with all of this if you'd like!
