Following Ram's example again, here's a post to help if you're puzzled on how to interact with Yori in grid_lined.  Any questions, feel free to ask!

Backtagging: Quite welcome, though response might be a bit slow.

Threadhopping: I'd appreciate being asked, but probably fine!

Subjects that offend Yori: Clu (the admin, not the original, of course).  Insults to Tron.  Anyone taking pleasure in derezzing or controlling programs.  Unreasoned prejudice toward Isos, Users, or Basics, though if someone has a reason she'll happily debate it and not take offense.

Yori's triggers: She's quite traumatized after all the events of Clu's reign, and reacts very badly to feeling trapped, manipulated, or any suggestion of threat to her identity disk.  Threats to any Tron will also get a strong reaction.  She hates Clu with a murderous rage that goes well beyond reason, though she will tell anyone who asks any number of valid reasons.  On the other hand, with enough warning she can bury her feelings pretty well.

Fighting:
Geared toward analysis, Yori won't fight unless she thinks the fight will end well--or if she's desperate.  She'd really prefer to negotiate with everyone, and failing that, she's more likely to run than fight.  But she actually is better than average when pressed, with a fair amount of training by Tron.  She's an excellent pilot with virtually any flying vehicle, but hates the constriction of the ground, carrying a lightjet rod instead of a lightcycle.  Your character can attack if it fits them, but please allow Yori to escape unless you've talked to me first.

Coding:
Lora Baines wrote Yori as part of the laser software back before 1982, and Yori's basic code hasn't changed since.  She herself wiped and destroyed a large part of her memories between Clu's coup and her capture.  Certain overlays gave Clu control, but Clu never rewrote any deep code as he may have done to Tron.  After so long forcibly loyal to Clu, Yori has taken certain steps herself.  She would quite literally rather be derezzed than let anyone else, program or User, touch her code again.  There are some nasty surprises in her disk for anyone who tries.  I don't recommend it.

Shipping:  
Although Yori certainly ships Yori/Tron, your Tron probably isn't her Tron and she's determined not to do anything more to hurt hers.  I write gen, so please no romance or heavy flirting.  Your character may want to give poor angst-filled Yori a hug, but she's likely to react badly both to being held and to hands too near her disk.  Actual comforting touches include gentle hand-holding or squeezing an arm.  (Rinzlers are special cases since Yori cannot in fact be sure they aren't her Tron, but while affection is welcome, I still only write gen.)

Proximity:
Yori hasn't settled into a single residence, but moves between several in newly rebuilt areas and a closet at the park.  People would probably think this was unhealthy paranoia if she told anyone.  This does mean she has several safe-ish beds to offer if someone needs one, and she can be near any neighborhood convenient to plot.

If there are things I should include here and haven't, please tell me!  Still kind of new at the RP thing. 

grid_lined, yori
