PLAYER WANTS

What are your favorite kinds of plots and relationships to play?
I tend to prefer light-hearted, slice of life stuff, though action, adventure, political intrigue and silly things are good too! Relationship wise, most of my characters will inevitably be into platonic relationships, though one day I might make a character that would actually be into romantic things. One day.

What are your least favorite kinds of plots and relationships to play?
Not a fan of horror, the world is terrifying enough thanks!

What are your favorite character types to play?
"Cute idiot doing cute idiot things," is usually how it gets described.

Are you a planner or a pantser? Do you prefer to pre-plan and stick to a script when posting, or do you prefer to surprise and be surprised?
After agreeing on a premise for a thread ("They meet in a tavern", that sort of thing), I like just letting things flow and seeing where stories go. That being said, if you want a heads up before some earth shattering surprise, that's a-okay too.

How do you feel about group threads?
Happy to do them, but may struggle a bit to keep up.

How often can you reply to any given thread? How long should a partner wait before nudging you for a post?
Nudge me after a week. I'll usually aim to get a reply within forty eight hours, but weekends tend to be absolutely hectic for me as I cram as much socialising in as possible, so expect slower replies then.

What is the longest you're willing to wait for a reply to a thread?
After a month, I'll probably start feeling a bit antsy about it. I'm happy waiting for longer if I know in advance it'll be slow!

How do you feel about instant messenger RP?
Haven't done much of it, but would be willing to give it a whirl.

Ho do you feel about post volleying/rapidfire RP?
Timezones will get in the way of this, but again, willing to give it a try.

What's your preferred posting style? Long posts? Short posts? Anything and everything?
My general rule of thumb is "as long as there's something for the next person to build on, it's all good".

Any RP styles/habits that you love?
Seeing fun, unusual characters doing fun, unusual things.

Any RP styles/habits that you avoid?
None really!

PLAYER LIMITS

What are you limits regarding powerplay/godmoding?
I don't really mind it, honestly, providing it makes sense in context (so my character was some kind of crazy kaiju sized monster, I'd be a tad confused if some five-foot-nothing built like a beanpole suplex'd Godzilla into a building - although that would also be hilarious, so, uh, who knows).

What are your limits in regards to romantic situations?
I'd prefer pre-plotting because it gives me time to discuss what it'd look like, and we can make sure we're on the same page! I can't imagine many of my characters being particularly, um, romanceable so I doubt it'll come up.

What are your limits with regards to graphic content such as sex, violence, drug use, sexual assault, etc? What is your comfort level?
Would prefer fade-to-black for anything sexual, but things like violence and drug-use are fine by me.

What are your limits in regards to pregnancy within plots?
Happy with discussions of pregnancy, birth, miscarriage, loss, etc.

What about healing?
Please discuss it with me beforehand. I don't think it'll particularly come up with my characters, but contact me beforehand just to be sure!

What about characters being transformed against their will?
Fine in principle, though would appreciate a heads up before it happens so I've got time to consider what it means for the character a little and adjust accordingly!

Anything else?
Nothing yet!

__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description
As mentioned in the manuscript 'On The Forgotten Creatures Of The Kishahn Jungle'
This juvenile creature is clearly some jungle-specialised, forgotten line of dragons, lacking in many of their features that tend to define the species. His appearance is more akin to a tree frog, with brightly coloured smooth skin, a wide mouth, an equally long tongue and foot-pads to enable rest amongst the tree branches. Furthermore, the creature has adopted features of the butterfly and moth, sporting iridescent wings akin to the former and feathered antennae common to the latter. So as to add to the confusion presented by such a dragon - and I must use the term loosely - it possesses a striped tail, curled at the end, similar to the colour-shifting lizards endemic to quieter parts of the jungle.

Personality
Curious and playful, Gwynn treats everything as a game - a game that he will naturally win, on account of being who he is, though he is not above using creative strategies to win said games, such as changing the rules or ensuring victory by not explicitly telling the other person they are playing a game in the first place. Most of his games seem to involve declaring himself to be the king of some particular area, emperor of another, absolute ruler of that rock, though he makes absolutely no attempt to meaningfully defend the territory so claimed and, if pressed, would likely be unable to list the majority of his winnings.

Just about everything seems to attract his attention, such that in area with lots of things to look at, he is prone to flitting to-and-fro in order to try and take it all in. There are a few things that demand his attention and focus: food and things that might be food.

Magic/Abilities
Gwynn is capable of flight, in that sort of slightly erratic way that butterflies flutter about.

Relationships
None really, though he will happily claim that various woodland creatures, insects and anyone standing still for long enough is part of his "domain".

History
Before his journey across the sea, Gwynn was mostly occupied with hunting, playing and observing things until, finally, he decided that it was quite obvious the humans gathering fruits and placing them into crates were actually leaving him offerings. Unfortunately he was quite wrong in this interpretation of events.

He was not so much captured as accidentally stowed away aboard a ship bringing people and goods from Thanatos to the Whitesands. While Gwynn will gladly provide a breathlessly told tale of how it was his ship, the truth is that he'd simply been busy sleeping off eating half the contents of a crate of exotic fruits when it was loaded into the hold. After a rather long and dull sea journey, Gwynn arrived at Cerenis, gave no apologies to the rather frustrated merchant discovering that a crate full of fruit had somehow been transformed into a crate devoid of fruit and a small hyperactive dragon, and began his unremarkable reign of terror in the port city, which ended only when he was driven out by a particularly ornery feral housecat.

Now no longer tied down to the city, Gwynn happily makes home wherever the wind takes him, fluttering about Serendipity seeking new experiences.
