Backtagging: Yes.
Threadhopping: Please. Try not to step on anyone else's toes, but consider my toes unsteppable.
4th Walling: If it will make you happy. Extra yes if you think it will be hilarious. Tentative yes and please message me if you think it might render Betty unplayable.
Godmodding: Conditional yes. If it makes sense and helps the plot along, have at it.
Offensive topics: OOCly, don't be a dick. If it's just a weird kink, I'm unsquickable, just ask. ICly, IC consequences.

I'm good to go for all of these. Betty's responses are typical, so use your best judgment. If you got one reaction and were hoping for a different one, check in with me and we'll work it out. If something doesn't gel for me, I'll let you know, but you can sell me a lot on enthusiasm alone.
Hugging: ^
Kissing: ^
Flirting: ^ + Betty's default relationship status is timeline dependent and we can work out alternatives.
Fighting: ^ + Slightly better than the average scientist, but ability is comparable (underwhelming). Her first instinct is to deescalate and she's experienced at it. (Unless she's butting into someone else's fight.)
Injuring: ^
Killing: ^ + ??? Technically easy to do. The consequences are the fun part. Talk to me so we can plot those out. Unless you just want to kill her, in which case... have at it? Hooray for completed threads?
Mind reading/control: Yes, and let me know how I can help your character do the thing.
Additional: Betty's relationship with her father involves childhood abuse/neglect which later manifests as stalking and other controlling behavior for most of her adult life. If this is a sensitive issue for you, please let me know what I can do.

General Info
Feb. 21st, 2016 10:28 pmElizabeth Ross is a professor of cellular biology at Culver University and the estranged daughter of General Thaddeus Ross. She was directly involved in the experiment leading to the creation of the Hulk and was romantically involved with Bruce Banner at the time.
Canon Nav:
Betty is taken primarily from The Incredible Hulk (2008) with the deleted scenes and comics canon added for flavor, so while she does have a temper under that disarming persona, she won't be hulking out in the creature-feature sense. I'm happy to negotiate details for pretty much everything since there's so little to work with and so many origin stories to choose from.
In terms of timeline, I'm interested in everything from pre-accident days to post AoU speculation. For the former, I'm pretty excited to dig my fingers into some unsafe lab practices and unethical pseudoscience. For the latter, my default headcanon is that Betty is living a relatively quiet life as a middle-aged professor with Leonard and a gaggle of grad students, emotionally stable and going grey. Maybe tracking the news and trading bittersweet emails with Bruce on the side. Maybe bonus radiation poisoning, if it suits.
Shipping:
Gen is always good - I'm in this for the mad science and whump. I'm also happy to ship Betty with just about anyone, with a slight preference for canon ships and F/F. Scientists, psychiatrists, professors, and debatably career soldiers have a canon leg up. Also, poly ships are always fun. Just keep in mind that her age would remain relative to Bruce's; she's in her forties by AoU. I'll never assume a ship or expect one without discussion/noted pref, even a canon one. Squiggly canon presence makes that easy.
Tag Logistics:
EST.My tagging rate averages to one a day. Oops, that's not true, I've developed a Betty problem.
If a tag is going to sit in my inbox for over a week, I'll at least contact you to let you know what's up. On the flip side, don't stress about taking your time or dropping. I'd appreciate some notice but I know from burn out. Also I'd love commentspam practice if that's something you do, since I'm not great at the brevity thing.
