“Yes, if only we had a magical tool that could slow time down. I foolishly left mine on earth... Did you bring yours?"

“I'm sure I do, but only because Dr. Fumbles McStupid over here was in way over his head!”
APPEARANCE
The first thing you might notice about Rodney McKay is his voice, and his very loud mouth. He gestures when he talks, and he talks quite rapidly. You'll hear him before you ever see him come in a room, and you'll probably regret the latter happening. He tends to be acerbic, vicious, and rude on a good day, but once you get to know him there's a surprisingly sweet, wide-eyed innocence under all that...other stuff.

SUMMARY
Rodney McKay is an asshole and that's putting it nicely. He's rude, acerbic, impatient, and doesn't suffer fools lightly. Considering how much of a genius he is, he considers most people to be said fools. He tends to assume people are idiots until proven otherwise, and loves any chance to show off how smart he is in any given situation.

That being said, he's also a ball of anxiety even when things are going good. He runs pessimistic on all things, and is a hypochondriac. It's unknown whether he really suffers from hypoglycemia or a citrus allergy or if it's just part of his hypochondria and penchant for thinking of the worst case scenarios immediately.

However, once you crack into the awful jawbreaker, the secret inside is a Rodney who really wishes he could be friends with people, who wishes that he could interact easily with people and have the social skills not to be ostracized. He's trying to be a better person and less of an asshole, but it's very much a work in progress. A very few select people ever get to see his sweet side.

PERMISSIONS
IN-CHARACTER
Physical affection: Rodney is an awkward boy and has no idea what to do if someone expresses physical affection towards him. After many clumsy attempts, he may reciprocate back.

Physical violence: Rodney is, despite training and years of field work, still kinda really bad at fighting. He knows a lot more about firearms than he'd ever meant to know, still sucks at shooting, but his skills lie rather in making traps, building weapons, or just blowing up solar systems. (5/6 of one)

Offensive subjects or triggers: Citrus
OUT OF CHARACTER
Backtagging: Will backtag forever!

Threadhopping: Yes!

Fourthwalling: I love fourthwalling!

Shipping: Primarily McShep (John Sheppard), but open to anyone else in canon! (Not really into his canon ship with Keller though!) Happy to ship out of canon as well.

Not interested in: smut

Offensive subjects or triggers: Graphic descriptions of vomiting and nausea (light detail is fine).
