PLAYER WANTS

What types of plots are you interested in playing?
I like to keep an open mind plotwise. Anything from political intrigue to old-fashioned adventuring, from a long-winded conversation to a no-holds-barred brawl. My favourite games are those with lots of human emotion and personality building. Feel free to contact me with ideas!

What types of plots are you not interested in playing?
My line is drawn at stories that have no value other than pure smut. I'm also not really interested in plots with god-type characters.

How often can you reply to any given thread?
I won't lie, I'm a very busy person. That being said, I'll try to reply within the week at the longest. If a particular reply may take longer than that, I will certainly let you know.

EDIT: due to the need to be an adult, the above timeframes may be even longer.  I'll still make a good faith effort to reply to my threads in a timely manner.

What is the longest you're willing to wait for a reply to a thread?
I understand that other people also have their own business to deal with. Take as much time as you want.

Are you open to RPing over instant messengers? If so, what's the best way to contact you and what times are you generally available?
I actually came here after over ten years of interactive chat roleplaying. I needed the switch because I don't have the time to sit and throw posts back and forth for hours anymore. If you really have the need to do so, throw me a PM and we might be able to work something out, but for the time being it's highly unlikely.

Are you open to post volleying?
Again, the whole time issue comes into play. And again, PM me to potentially set something up. No guarantees.

Anything else?
Just wanted to emphasize my heavy workload IRL. If I'm ever slow in replying, please don't take it personally.

PLAYER LIMITS

What are you limits regarding powerplay/godmoding?
(For instance, do you mind if someone grabs your character? Picks them up? Punches them?)

Sometimes a story works a lot better with minor controlling of other characters, like picking them up and giving them a good bonk on the head. If you really feel it necessary, and it's within reason, I'm all for it. I have lots of respect for other gamers. If need be, I'll reciprocate within reason. I do draw the line at godlike machinations, or instant-death shenanigans and anything of that sort.

What are your limits in regards to romantic situations?

If it fits within a storylines and the two characters are compatible, I'm all for it. They can either be prearranged or can occur organically, I have no problems with either one. Again, if it's purely for smut, I decline.

What are your limits in regards to sex?

Aside from things that have absolutely no value story-wise, I am open to being as explicit or implicit as my writing partner. My PM box is always open if you need to clarify the level to which a thread might get graphic. That being said, if my writing partner is below the age of 18, then for obvious reasons I'm going have to strongly insist that we imply it at the most.

What are your limits in regards to pregnancy within plots?

I have no issue here. Again, the PM box is always open if my writing partner wants to plot one out, or wants to make sure it's okay.

What are your limits in regards to violent scenes?

Again, it all depends on how graphic my writing partner wants to get. I will defer to their wants and needs, but I am able to get reasonably detailed.

What are your limits in regards to abuse/rape in plots?

The same applies here as it does with sex. If you're below 18, it has to be implied. Otherwise, it's up to you, whether you want these sort of plotlines in the thread. I will never initiate something without first discussing it through PMs.

Are you okay with characters being transformed against their will?

I'd rather this not happen without my knowledge. But a little informed consent can go a long way, so do let me know!

What about healing?

Minor things like cuts and bruises, I can handle. But a lot of characters I've played in the past were memorable specifically because they had injuries or disabilities that played directly into their personalities and stories. I'd rather not have a crippled character suddenly healed. It kind of ruins the character.

Anything else?

My favorite ice cream is green tea. This has no relevance game-wise, but thought you should know.
