i was gonna say this'll be quick and dirty, but this a lot and i apologize.

without getting spoilery, madara is a deconstruction of the genki boy/manic pixie dream guy/jack-of-all-trades tropes (this is a recurring theme in ensemble stars of tearing conventions to pieces). he can pick up how to do a lot of things easily because he has a lot of energy and passion. this noted to be annoying as hell he's fluent in a few languages, and he has a decent grasp of japanese history and pop culture, for some examples.
for the sake of not being a pain in the ass, this won't apply to canon specific things outside of his own! i will ask you beforehand if he tries to do something like that, and you can explain to me how hard or easy it would be, i won't argue.
speaking style:
alright so ensemble stars stories are handles by different translators, so there's not a solid stance on how to translate his lines or speaking style, sob. notably though, he can have have a very odd way of phrasing things in line with japanese idioms or philosophy. this is because he returned from travelling abroad and is trying to connect back with his roots. if he sounds off-beat sometimes, that's probably the point.
what you should know though is that when he's energetic or super happy, he trails the vowels of his word (denoted by extra hiragana vowels), and he occasionally uses "☆" and "♪" at the ends of his sentences. If you want me to drop the extra vowels or the text symbols to make it easier, drop a line and I can do that for you.
personal space:
madara has no sense of it, straight up. he's known to literally pick up and carry people without asking, and some characters even call it kidnapping. he's also very affectionate, and will ask or give out hugs with prompting. it's a completely wholesome gesture for all of these things, though. he's not doing it for less-than-innocent reasons, but if a character assumes that, i'll roll with it.
okay, i won't do it at the start of threads without permission because that's impolite on my end, and i'll take note of your threads to see when's a good time to pull it off. if you have a character who is adverse to physical contact icly because of trauma, or you as a player don't want me having madara do any of the physical things above, leave a note here! i don't want to make anyone uncomfortable.
comments are screened and i won't share names, so no worries! this is between you and me as rpers.
