STYLE
IN CHARACTER
Physical Affection
Pal isn't cuddly, but he's warm and is generally here to accept and give hugs.
Physical Violence
Not a fan, generally thinks it's stupid, much prefers to fight via cutting remarks. If you want to get into a physical altercation with him for some reason, go for it, but keep in mind that while on the one hand, he's a scrawny nerd, so you could knock him over with a feather, on the other, he could use his necromatic abilities to do some pretty messed up things to your body.
Relationships
He's been in love with the same girl since he was eight years old and won't be falling out of love with her anytime soon. I'm open to exploring other romantic relationships with him, but expect things to be slow and awkward. Feel free to flirt/hit on him/whatever, but don't have high hopes.
Even more important to him than any romantic relationship is his relationship to his cavalier, Camilla Hect. Necromancers and cavaliers are sworn to protect each other; Pal and Cam were officially "paired" when they were twelve, but have been best friends for even longer and have a bond that transcends any usual platonic/romantic divide. While this doesn't affect his ability to make other connections, platonic or otherwise, she will always, always come first.

Mindreading and Psychic intrusions
Pal can't read your mind, but thanks to his psychometric abilities, he can read your stuff! Essentially, he can use necromancy to figure out an object's history--how old it is, who has come in contact with it, what it's made of, and the kinds of activities or events that it has been involved with.
He doesn't have any special ability to stop psychic intrusions, though if someone tried to do so without his permission and he figured it out, he would create wards and force fields in an effort to stop it. Happy to have your character poke at his mind!

Potential Offensive Subjects
Pal comes from a post-apocalyptic expansionist empire in which war is eternal (though it has largely taken place far away from him), eugenic-adjacent beliefs are discussed casually, creepy religious imagery is everywhere, and dead bodies are used as tools. While the first three things are less likely to come up in everyday conversation, he does tend to be pretty chill about gore and dead bodies.
Pal himself is likely to get riled up in conversations referencing war, authoritarian religion, systemic cruelty, and the proper way to care for 10,000-year-old books.

OUT OF CHARACTER
Backtagging
Definitely! I'm a pretty slow tagger myself.
Threadhopping
Sure! Just give me a heads up so we can work out tagging order.
Fourthwalling
Go for it. Pal would find the whole thing fascinating.
Not interested in
I'm up for most anything, but generally like to talk things out first if your character is going to do something to physically or emotionally traumatize Pal. I also don't love playing out super gory violence or torture and may request handwaving that kind of thing.
