PERMISSIONS POST + OPT OUT
CHARACTER NAME: Judge Rico Dredd (the original Rico)
CHARACTER SERIES: Judge Dredd
His characterization is largely taken from the comics and Wear Iron by Al Ewing, and only some small elements from The Third Law by Micheal Carroll. Canon point is before his criminal activities were discovered.
[OOC]
Backtagging: Yes!
Threadhopping: I don't mind for open network posts, but for log posts I'd prefer it if you ran it by me and whoever else is in the log first.
Fourthwalling: Yes. Although if you reveal that you know anything about his less-than-legal activities, he will not react kindly.
Offensive subjects (elaborate): No specific subjects come to mind.
[IC]
Hugging this character: Definitely not.
Kissing this character: Maybe.
Flirting with this character: He might flirt back, he might not. He's technically not allowed to humor this behavior, but Rico harbors a certain disdain for the concept that he's not allowed to do anything.
Fighting with this character: Yes!
Injuring this character (include limits and severity): Minor injuries alright (Bruises, bloody noses, cuts, etc) but let's hash it out before severe injuries (Broken bones, deep cuts, or burns)
Killing this character: Mmaybe, but contact me first please.
Using telepathy/mind reading abilities on this character: Sure, but contact me so we can work out what your character finds, if anything.
Warnings:

Warnings:
- Police states, fascism: Rico is part of a totalitarian government which enforces an extremely strict law to deal with a high crime rate, relying on individual "Judges" to instantly convict and sentence people of crimes on the spot. This is obviously pretty fucked. There'll be some rhetoric spouted that's highly flawed on the subject, and while Rico hates the system, he still has abused his position to get away with awful things.
- Violence: He also uses excessive force against criminals, takes bribes and sets up extortion rackets. He only engages in this behavior when he knows he can get away with it, and otherwise acts like a normal Judge, if a little weird and prone to laughing.
- Military use of children: Cloned and raised from birth within the Academy of Law to become a Judge.
- General legitimate assholery: He can be a giant bully. If your character antagonizes him (and he has very low standards for what constitutes 'antagonizing'), expect at least some hostility and nastiness. Or he might be nasty for no reason at all. Tell me if you'd prefer to opt out of this kind of interaction! He can be tolerable at times too.
- There's a tiny possibility that he might also try to hit on your character, if they're what he considers attractive. He won't really take it any further than vague flirting if they're not receptive though.
- Capital punishment, summary executions: Mega-City One has laws that involve capital punishment for some crimes, and Judges are allowed to use lethal force in certain situations. Rico has killed people who were surrendering. He's also carried out summary executions as a child in the immediate post-apocalypse.
- Mental illness: He has some mental health issues, anger issues, and behaves erratically.
- Suicide ideation: Nonchalant about the prospect of his own death. May have some vague thoughts or mentions of suicide in internal monologue. It's also implied in canon that he was trying for a suicide-by-cop from his brother by provoking him to kill him.
- Nuclear weapons and fallout, trauma: Rico lived and served through the Atomic War at a young age. Most of the world turned into a nuclear wasteland - Mega-City One managed to deflect most of their nukes, but there was chaos and rioting in the streets, administering on-the-spot executions for looting and crimes, etc. He observed some seriously fucked up behavior from people during this time, but graphic details or mentions are unlikely to come up normally.
