Info on possible trigger warnings and special eldritch abilities:
Benedict Fox comes from a world where Lovecraftian lore is real so there's the possibility to come across horror depictions, eldritch beings, demons, the occult, and other such graphic details within Benedict's tags. To a lesser extent it's possible he'll talk about the Great War (specifically, the first world war) as it's implied he was involved in some capacity and it was less than a decade ago for him. Demons and occult rituals were used during the war and Benedict most likely would have been sent to deal with some of that considering his upbringing.
Speaking of which, he was abandoned by his father and orphaned from birth after his mother died during childbirth so there's that baggage that could crop up, and to top it off he was raised as a kind of child soldier by an organization that regulates the occult and related eccentricities to keep the human world safe. They are not always the most kind bunch despite their intentions so there's some more baggage there.
Last, but certainly not least, Benedict has certain abilities granted to him via the Companion that's attached to him. This entity is from another realm, one of demons and eldritch beings, and though it's imprisoned by the bond that was forced upon the two during an ancient dark ritual it still has access to a number of abilities that it and Benedict can use. Some of them are simply combat and athletic abilities, but the notable one that may surprise writers if used out of the blue is the ability to sense emotions and the intentions of the beings around it. It typically conveys these insights to Benedict in order to help him out and keep him alive. Essentially, if you don't want Benedict and the Companion to know what your character is thinking and feeling at any given moment, please take the time to tell me somewhere (this post here or in a PM or any tag) that you'd like to opt-out of that ability. It can sense the lingering emotions from inanimate objects as well so if there's anything you'd like to opt-in do include special memories or emotions tied to people, objects, or places that Benedict touches or gets particularly close to (including your character)!
tl;dr version: cw for Lovecraftian lore, Eldritch Horror, tentacles, demons, occult, WWI, war crimes, child soldiers, and other horror topics. opt-out or -in to special abilities that include reading memories, emotions, and lingering feelings of objects and places special to characters.
