Mohinder is a genetics professor who has relocated from India to America to pursue his recently-murdered father's research into people with superhuman abilities. He's brilliant on the scientific front, but tempers that intelligence with a frequent lack of common sense. He's in over his head, knows it, hates it, and overcompensates for it with alternating bravado and self-deprecation.

⇓at a glance⇓

AGE: 33

HEIGHT: 5'10"

BUILD: A lean, broad-shouldered swimmer's build.

HAIR: Thick black curls with longer-than-average sideburns.

VOICE: A silky, soft-spoken tenor with a polished English accent.

DEMEANOR: Initially reserved and usually polite, but it doesn't take much provocation for that to crumble into caustic annoyance.

⇓in character⇓

PHYSICAL AFFECTION: It'll startle him, but unless you're someone he really hates, he's touch-starved enough to appreciate it.

PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Anything short of permanent disfigurement is okay, but if he's coming from a post-3x01 canon point, he does have super strength (to the point of being able to rip the door off a car or crumple a handgun in one fist without really exerting effort.) He's also pretty good at MacGyvering weapons out of whatever's nearby when he feels threatened.

ROMANCE/FLIRTING: Flirting is totally fine. He'll probably just try to change the subject, but he may reciprocate.

He is really bad at actual relationships, though, and not for lack of trying. It's a combination of "married to his work," "needs a lot of therapy," and "incapable of going more than a few months without embroiling himself in some lethally dangerous conflict between supervillains."

SEXUAL CONTENT: Open to it with men and women, and fine with playing smut.

PSYCHIC ABILITIES: Go nuts. He's had telepathic flatmates before; he's used to it.

MAGIC/POWERS: Also fine with having these used on him. He'll refuse to accept a lack of scientific explanation for the magic ones, but he'll probably have fun trying to find one unless he's being attacked.

OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS OR TRIGGERS: Depending on canon point, he'll get a bit twitchy at mentions of Spider-Man or The Fly, but he won't explain why and he'll move past it if you give him a minute.

⇓out of character⇓

FAVORITES: Gabriel "Sylar" Gray, Noah Bennet, Eden McCain

OTHERS: Matt Parkman, Elle Bishop, Peter Petrelli, Nathan Petrelli

MAYBE: Claire Bennet if 20+, characters he hasn't canonically met

CROSSCANON: I'm open to a lot! I do prefer slower-burn dynamics that take a while to set up, though, because Mohinder doesn't always warm up very easily even when he's on friendly terms with someone.

What I'd really love to play with him are some more adversarial dynamics, more enemies-to-lovers than friends-to-lovers, so assumed CR is perfectly fine--if your character is on the morally-grey side and they'd have a reason to be working against each other or reluctantly working together, we can definitely work something out!

I'd also be interested in hooking him up with some older, professorial silver fox types. Just imagine running your hand down an entire elevator panel of buttons labeled "daddy issues" and lighting them all up. It's like that.
