• I • player is 30+ and autistic. i have an extra troubling time reading tone over text; i tend to interpret things very literally and thus have trouble with jokes. i also will absolutely miss if you emote at me to start an rp and it doesn't directly concern my character (unless we're the only two around). i appreciate your understanding in advance and apologize for any mishaps.
• II • as i am 30+, i prefer to have all rp partners be 18+. my space is not minor-safe, and while i appreciate the young players and rpers of ffxiv, i do not wish to censor myself and thus put anyone in an awkward situation.
• III • i prefer to rp than update my character websites asdlkasdkad i'm sorry. if you see them looking markedly different from what's pictured, just assume a story beat happened that i haven't had time/inclination to update their page with.
• IV • i am pro-lewd lalafell; my lalafell are adults and will be treated as such and with respect and i, of course, extend the same. if you cannot manage that, there's nothing for us to talk about and i have no desire to write with you.
• V • ic /=/ ooc, of course. i do not take ic dislike or attraction as ooc dislike or attraction.
• VI • while i have my limits on what i will participate in writing, i laugh at the idea that fiction can be illegal or immoral. where i live, it is not (despite people's draconian attempts to make it so), and i will abide by the idea that fiction is a place where everything can and should be explored safely. the fbi does not care that you find certain fictional material displeasing; please don't try to tie up resources that can help real people by threatening to call the fbi on someone for crimes committed against fictional characters. fiction and rp are places to let your freak flag fly; if you don't agree, we really have nothing to talk about.
• VII • my limits are adultery (poly/open/ethical non-monogamy and multiship are all good with me, but let me know that's what's going on first, please!) and purely grimdark rp. i like starting dark and finding redemption, hope, etc.. let me fix your broken characters or you can fix mine! don't corrupt mine!
• VIII • i'm mostly a para rper, but i give what i'm given. i am also lore-flexible to a pretty lenient extent. no erp alts, please (low-level alts for story AND anything else is fine). i'm here for actual rp and character development, even if it happens to be a hook-up or whatever, and yes, i do not think hook-up is inherently a bad place to start or somehow wrong to rp.
• IX • i'm infinitely patient and ghost friendly. if you need/want to take a break, no worries. we can pick right back up from where we left off or not. whatever.
• X • i write slow, especially in rp-heavy areas like the quicksand. party/tell is easier for me to keep up with.
• XI • no group rps and no fc invites, even ic; i have no intentions of joining an fc.
• XII • i don't love roll battles (especially against npcs), but if we are to rely on them, i ask that we agree on a system that allows for modifiers and doesn't just rely on luck, depending on situation and characters. regarding outcomes of battle: minimal scarring (that can heal through magic or over time) is fine; permanent scarring or maiming must be discussed; death is always a no. ic actions have ic conseqeunces; and please discuss if you intend to do some pick-pocket walk-up or the like.
• XIII • i don't fade to black for sexual content, nor do i do romantic rp with asexuals. sorry, sexuality is important for me to explore. that and i just like writing smut. don't be weird about it though. all my characters are heterosexual, or male-preferring if they are bi.
• XIV • i tab out a lot to work on projects; sending me a tell is the best way to get my attention.
• XV • my schedule is trash and flip-flops a lot. i have alts, i take breaks, and i have a life outside of ff. again, i am eternally patient, but i do expect patience in return.
• XVI • i don't usually accept friend requests from people i've only rped with once.
• XVII • i prefer to find out things (and have things be found out) through rp. with that in mind, getting to know a few of my characters (enenra in particular) will be like pulling teeth as they keep certain things very close to their chest.
• XVIII • i do have a lot of alts, and sometimes i prefer to run content than rp. if you have rped with one of my characters and see me on an alt, you are free to approach ic or say hi to me ooc, so long as you aren't weird about it. the same goes for you, you are free to approach me on an alt (and not even tell me, i don't really care); you can also make requests for me to switch to a character you'd prefer walking up to, though naturally, i have the right to decline. i've not put all my characters up on my main ffxiv hub page, but you should know them by this linked ooc page.
• XVIIII • i use a mix of commissioned art, screenshots, and ai art. i know some people have an issue here, which is why i'm stating it upfront. please do not try to debate me on this.
