Trolling Tumblr askboxes as Billy Mays is so much fun you guise.

The User Guide to My Pup: what are a few things that people should know about tagging your pup? This is particularly handy when pups are post-canon/have gone AU/radically changed their appearance since canon, etc. But also handy for new interactions. For example, does your pup immediately become murderous on seeing people who wear green? Handy to know!
We had this a little over a year ago, if you want a look-see.

He does not knowingly lie, ever.
But has done undercover work in the past, so misdirection is OK? But even then, if confronted, he will openly admit what and who he is even if it might get him killed.
Despite his formality, he does not have personal space issues. On the contrary, he's always getting up in people's faces. He's not squeamish (see: grabbing Valjean and pulling him nose to nose when he just emerged from a day spent mostly submerged in sewer crap), and though he may act like a robot emotionally, he is still human.
He is a classist asshole. He categorises people on what they are far more than who they are - understandably, this is likely to be offensive in the extreme to many people in Milliways. But! It is the belief in this that Valjean turned upside down at the end of his canon, so when he actually starts to come to terms with what it means, in-bar, then this may change a bit. But before that happens, please be aware that he is likely to be offensive in some way if your pup is of, what he considers, a low social standing.
If your pup is of high social standing - particularly if they are a civil servant/employee of the state, he will defer instantly, at once, in every way. I expect this to be less prominent if your pup is from a different world than him, but not to any great degree.
His mental state is reflected in his clothes. Even at the moment, when he's wearing peasant clothes, they are scrupulously clean, neat, and pressed. If he shows up in the bar in anything wrinkled and/or dirty - even a tiny bit - then he is undergoing some kind of mental difficulty, or agitation.
If he is in the bar, and you want to talk to him, it is better to approach him. Really. If your pup is across the bar and doesn't come near, he is unlikely to make the effort to approach. Unless you're doing something he considers outrageous/inappropriate/illegal.
He literally doesn't know what to do with people who are nice to him. He has very little experience with kindness, and it was an act of mercy that drove him to kill himself. If your pup is endlessly nice to him, he will look down on them. If they give as good as they get, he will have more respect for them. If they are unjust in their dealings with him, he will think them scum.
Once his mind is made up, it is very difficult to change it.
Victor Hugo describes his life as a life of privation, isolation, abnegation, chastity, with never a diversion. It was implacable duty; the police understood, as the Spartans understood Sparta, a pitiless lying in wait, a ferocious honesty, a marble informer - if you try to tell him he was wrong to choose to be this way, he will think you stupid. As far as he is concerned, there was no other option - and crucially, he does not feel sorry for himself over it. He is proud of his own self-control, and won't be persuaded away from it.
He is far more comfortable talking to men than women. I suspect this is because he has always lived surrounded by men, and only really encountered women when arresting them/as housekeepers, etc. So he is more likely to treat women the same way he treats men, for the most part. He has never had any romantic attachments, so does not have experience being nice to women for that reason (I suspect he's gay, if only because he does not understand women at all, and shows no inclination to try. But who the hell knows?).
He is at least half Roma, and more likely full. Seeing as I'm using Russell Crowe as a PB this will not be immediately obvious, but if your pup has any way of reading minds/whatever, it's there. As well as a fierce hatred of his background.
(Last one, promise) - his accent is clearly altered. He is from the South of France, but due to the aforementioned hatred of his roots, he made a conscious effort to rid himself of it in his youth, and even more when he moved north. Added to this, he has an 'emphasis in his speech' which comes from reading - he consciously attempts to speak properly and clearly at all times, in an attempt to keep his original accent subdued.

I get started talking about him, and cannot stop. It's an illness. :D ALSO. I'm sorry he randomly grabbed 'Luc' a couple of times in their thread - I had no idea he didn't like being touched at the time. APOLOGIES.

This is seriously hysterical to Ganymede. I am so greatly enjoying their threads, you have no idea. (I hope this does not sound silly but just once I want someone to actually get Ganymede mad. I am thinking Javert has a pretty good shot.)

I thought he'd be far more 'YOU ARE GOING TO HELL' than he has been, but it turns out he lacks the energy to care about other people's sin, at the moment. But once he regains some equilibrium, he may well have a go at ruffling the boy's temper. He's altogether too calm at the moment, which Javert is starting to mentally equate with Valjean - and that bothers him. So, we'll see, I guess!

And loool, he should feel free to flirt as much as he likes, though it'd be entirely for my amusement. Javert likely won't even notice, or ignore it if he does. *pats him*
