Backtagging: Yep!
Threadhopping/Threadjacking: Absolutely!
Fourthwalling: I mean, he's an OC, so good luck?

Platonic Physical Contact: Yep! He's a little nervous around strangers, but once he gets to know you, he's absolutely in.
Romantic Physical Contact: Only after you get to know him.
Violent Physical Contact: Let me know first? I'm up for it, but I'd also need to plan it, because injuries basically disable his magic.
Mindreading: Go for it!

Other Notes: Ryo has what his world calls a Sense. Full details are here, but essentially, he can sense life energy - if your character is alive and sapient, they register. I'm up for discussing things further - let me know!

EDIT: After Diagad, he also gained last rites/death-related powers. He's able to Sense people with connections to death (whether they're undead, have death powers themselves, or are otherwise connected to death); he's also able to lay the souls of the departed to rest and help them pass on to where they need to go. (Later on, with training, he'll be able to take care of ghosts and undead as well.)

For my kids:
Spark is alive and sentient. No one o the train knows that Gar and Privateer Pirate are also him, they are also alive and sentient. If he can tell that they're the same, please talk to me first.

Xion recently learned that she is actually alive. This is still new to her. But feel free to sense it.

Clef: yep, alive and sentient, have fun.

Najaran... is where it gets interesting. She is alive and sentient. So is her cane. So are some of the creatures she keeps in cards in a pouch on her back. Sometimes she lets them out for a while but, not sure if he'd be able to sense them while in card form... I would happily plot if you want. I can be reached by replying here or on Plurk: ChickletLARP for plotting.

For Najaran, he probably won't be able to sense anything in card form, so that should be simple enough.

Spark/Gar/Privateer Pirate is where it gets complicated. If it's the same person in three different forms, Ryo is eventually going to be able to tell they're the same - the more he interacts with any of them, the more he'll become familiar with how they feel through his Sense, and it wouldn't take him too long to cotton on to the fact that they feel the same. ICly, if asked, he will absolutely keep the secret; if him knowing at all is an issue on an OOC level, we'll definitely need to figure something out.

[death_from_above]

Spark would need to know he knows to ask which is also complicated. On the plus side that might make it easier... PP only comes out for missions and only some missions. So there might not be much interaction there. So that part of the secret might be easier to keep? Maybe? How much interaction would he need to sense this? And would it throw him at all that the three identities are not the same species? Spark is a cat, Gar is a human, and PP is a flesh golem.

OOCly, there are a few people in game with potential to figure out some of this, but that is being carefully plotted and so far has spanned months of a hint here a hint there. (In one case years, but that's just because they are CRAU from the same game, so...)

I don't mind plotting out a slow burn of will he wont he figure it out, so long as it takes a WHILE IC and OOC.

The stupid thing, IC, is that Spark wouldn't care at all if people knew that he was Gar and PP (other than the fact that they would stop giving him fish if they knew he could magic up his own, thus rendering him sad) but he is keeping the secret for the sake of someone who isn't even in game. But knowing that there are others here who have met the person he is keeping the secret for (Adrien Agreste, and honestly a little for Nino at this point too) and Adrien could show up at any time. So he is expending a lot of energy and effort for the sake of sir not appearing in this game, lol.


(Though given this sense, you may want to speak with Lel who plays Conan, if you have not already, as Conan is in a similar boat.)

Honestly, the fact that he can sense Spark at all, when the Sense doesn't normally pick up on animals, is going to be enough to get and hold his attention. He wouldn't put it together after the first few meetings of any of the three forms, but he's also a smart kid - once he gets to know one fairly well, it won't take him long to realize they read the exact same to his Sense.

Essentially, if we want this to take a while IC as well as OOC, they might not get to interact closely very often. A team setting would be fine, but one-on-one threads might not get to happen as often.

[death_from_above]

Well Spark is a "Talker" which might help with some of that, if cats don't generally talk in his world. But yeah, we can draw it out, limiting their IC contact if we have to. >.< I have other kiddos you can play with more.
