Important Information
What To Expect From Me
Quality over Quantity
don't feel like you have to pad things out for me. as long as there's something to reply to, that's sufficient. i will mirror your length to the best of my ability.Ghosting is Fine
i don't get personal about ghosting or just letting a role play die, it happens all the time and some things just aren't meant to be or we don't get along. no hard feelings and you also don't have to stop talking to me because a role play didn't work out.Paragraph or Tupperbox
i write single to multiple paragraphs, novella very rarely. tupperbox is fine, too. while my aesthetic is lowercase, i write in almost perfect grammar and punctuation when asked to do literary form.Creative Works
you are allowed to draw my OCs with yours during the role play if you wish. treat me and my characters with respect and i will do the same for you.What I Expect of You
Please Be 20+
i prefer to role play with people around my age range for personal reasons.Please Be Queer Too
yeah. sorry. not sorry. i don't particularly want to associate with cishet folk more than i have to. i'm simply not comfortable role playing with them.I Have the Right to Block
i am allowed to not interact with you for any reason. this is very unlikely unless you're being repeatedly disrespectful to me after i've told you to stop.No Rushing
i don't like rushing for replies. we reply when we feel like it, there are no time constraints.Everything is an AU
i don't commit to canon when interacting with others' OCs. everything is an AU so please don't get too attached.Tropes
General Tropes
Dynamic Plot and Characters
this is what i personally look for when writing a role play. fun things have to happen, and sometimes those fun things tug at your heart strings.Sentimental and Emotionally Impactful Writing
this gets my attention, but in order for that to work one needs to be attached to the characters in some form. it's just a bonus if we manage to achieve this.Character Development, Slow Burn Friendship
i want to see characters grow as people, sometimes over intensely long arcs.No One Is Truly Evil
everyone has a reason to be the way they are, no matter how evil they may seem. does it justify their actions or make them forgivable or less deserving of consequences for their actions? of course not. it's just more fun to ask why a character is the way they are, and if you can help them back onto the right path.in other words, i have a thing for redeeming villains. sometimes utterly reprehensible villains who in no way should be forgiven for what they've done. if they truly want to change and not let their past define them, they should be allowed to do that. not everyone will give them that chance, and that's just part of the consequences that come with committing such acts.
Man vs Authority
love antiestablishment. i love it when the characters realize the reason why they're suffering is not themselves, but rather because of their political environment or things not under their control. sometimes, the only way to fix something is to band together and be the change.Man vs Environment
inanimate version of man vs authority, but sometimes there can be reasons as to why the environment is the way it is or the environment can shape the way the characters are. most of the time survival, but it's usually a complement to another conflict.Reclaimed F Slur
call my characters faggots all you want. they don't care. Rev might if you mean it in a derogatory way, but that's because he has trauma. he'll clock your character across the face and i don't think you want your character to have a broken jaw... unless you're into that.Character Related
m/m and m/masc
sexual or platonic. whatever happens, happens.Humans/Humanoids
human(oids) are sexy.Dom/Dom
sexual or platonic. i just like seeing two powerful characters interact and sometimes fight for that dominance. most of my characters are dominant, save for a few submissives here and there. domming is not entirely forcing others into submission via aggression unless you're into that. to me it's about self control and being assured of yourself. confident characters are fun to play as and with. real doms don't show their power off unless it really matters.Hatefuck
it's just a dom/dom thing.Neutral or Evil Alignments
good characters do not interest me as much but they can be well written. in my opinion, the best stories are when the main character does what is needed of them at that moment, and nothing more than that. every character plays a part and carry flaws, there is no true perfect "hero" who saves the day.m/m Smut
i really don't mind it, it's just that i don't seek it. it happens if it does, and sometimes it's fun. just don't make it the only thing we'll do.Brotherly Dynamics
i think they're fun. sexual or platonic.Toxic Relationships
not necessary, but they're underrated not explored enough.Frenemies, Rivalry
sure, why not.Dom/Switch
switches are okay, i guess. they're not total pansies.Noncon/Dubcon
it's fun.Femmes
this is fine if you're not seeking any m/f sexual interaction with me. purely platonic interaction with femme characters is fine, characters of any gender can yield an interesting relationship.I Won't Do
Dom/Sub
as someone who regularly plays doms, it's very tiring to be asked to be someone's yaoi seme fantasy over and over again. if you want to sub, please do it in an interesting way and reciprocate. in other words, i'm not here to give you my characters to you to project your subby self insert onto.Furry/Anthro or Quad
i just think furries/anthros and quads are boring. never got into them.Art "Faceclaims"
whether it's AI "art" or someone else's art of their OC. both are theft, you will be blocked. i have no tolerance for this.m/f Sexual Interactions
i'm not into it, sorry. not sorry.Romantic Shipping
i only ship with people who i trust entirely.Settings
Some Settings I Prefer
Alternate Universes
noncanonical universes that allow easier interaction without too much backstory. my characters are very heavily built upon, so this is ideal for people who don't have time to delve into reading my characters' stories just to interact.Urban/Cities
they're just fun, especially when there's gang violence or some shady stuff going on. i also love slums settings.Modern With Hints of Fantasy
without the fantasy it's just slice of life, isn't it? nothing wrong with slice of life, i just think it would be much more fun if our characters had funny, cool powers.Non-Time Relative Fantasy
doing research to make sure it's as accurate to the time era as possible is quite boring. just keep it vague and don't think about it too hard. it's more fun that way.Dystopia or Apocalyptic
if it pushes the characters to their limits, i'm into it.1800s/1900s Fantasy
i love that old timey stuff. the time eras of bioshock and fallout are pretty cool and so is don't starve.High Fantasy or Medieval
situational, but i don't have as much interest in this kind of stuff as more modern setings.Fandoms
depends on my mood, but fandom universes include: fallout, transformers, don't starve (together), ace attorney, katana zero.D&D
no. i have tried this and i hated it. i don't like the idea of making my role playing into a board game. don't ask me to do this.Shipping
i don't do shipping unless you're someone who i really trust, which is very unlikely if you're a stranger coming across this page. platonic with sexual interaction is the furthest i will go.
Kinks
just visit my f-list. there isn't any need for me to rewrite it here at the moment.
Art
if you're going to make something creative with our OCs, here's some stuff you should keep in mind. your art is yours and you are free to do whatever with it. just have a sense of respect and decency.
Creative Boundaries
General Platonic Interaction
if it's just platonic fluff or something fun, of course.m/m Lewd
go ahead.Violence and Gore
go ahead.Heavy Kinks
what type of kinks? what do you have in mind for them? if you're not sure or if you're heading into deeper territory it's best to discuss boundaries.Romantic Works
like i said, i don't do ships.Characters
everything here is what you need to know to interact with them, but their profiles are still linked in case you'd like to know more. otherwise, it's not necessary to read further than what is here. you can learn about them through role play instead. show not tell - keeps it more interesting.

cis male | 28 y/o | 6'0"
- ROLE dominant, switch
- SEXUALITY strict homosexual
- ORIENTATION aromantic
- OCCUPATION gay prostitute/stripper
- SPECIES human
CONTENT WARNING
twincest, homicide, very bad coping mechanisms for trauma, homophobia trauma, fatherly physical and psychological abuse.Reference
Quick Backstory
a charismatic joy to talk to, life of the party, sex demon in bed... at least, that's what's nicer to believe.
he's actually a serial killer. faces severe deep rooted homophobia trauma since his childhood. it's only recently that he finally had enough and snapped and killed his physically and emotionally abusive father. now copes by doubling down on his "depraved" thoughts and struggles with ingrained homophobia.
used to be the school bully. guess what? he still is. won't hesitate to shove you into the locker or beat you up if you piss him off.
Boundaries
Dom/Dom
please challenge him, it will result in the most interesting interactions.Character Development or Drama
Rev has a lot of problems and they will come up in the interaction. they won't be the focus of the plot but rather help provide conflict between our characters.m/m Interaction With Clients
he's a strictly gay sex worker, but i don't really focus on the sex part as much as the bond they may share, positive or negative.Bringing Ren In
not necessary, but Ren is Rev's twin brother and both are heavily co-dependent on each other. the other will show up sooner or later, unless you don't want that then let me know.Noncon and Snuff
sure, i guess. just as long as i don't have to constantly do this because i'm not interested in domming a sub for the entire role play. Rev will only "play" with people he finds interesting, which is not often.Violence and Gore
depends on what it is, how permanent it is, and why. Rev gets off to violence and gore and won't hide it unless to avoid being arrested.Romance
he's aromantic and i'm not interested.Sexual Interaction With Femmes
he's gay. like, really gay.Ren

Quick Backstory
a sweet, shy boy living in his and his brother's quiet home... or at least, that's what's easier to believe.
very traumatized because he doesn't overcome his problems like a normal person. his overly protective brother enables him way too much. very, very unhinged - will kill you the moment he thinks it's necessary to protect himself.
he's a serial killer, moderately muscular, and will not hesitate to use that if it means he won't be hurt again. it's easy to forget that when he's such a scared cutie most of the time. despite the fact he's a quad amputee with very realistic prosthetic limbs, he's a force to be reckoned with.
Boundaries
Dragging Him Out of His Comfort Zone
this provokes the most interesting reactions from him and he will fight your character. sometimes violently.Fear Play
Ren is riddled with fear and paranoia and he will always react with it towards your character if he feels threatened. just be aware that he will fight back viciously if you take away his option to run away.Character Development or Drama
Ren has a lot of problems and they will come up in the interaction. they won't be the focus of the plot but rather help provide conflict between our characters.Friendship
sure, why not. it'll take a while for him to trust you, though... and you will have to get past Rev's overprotectiveness.Bringing Rev In
not necessary, but Rev is Ren's twin brother and both are heavily co-dependent on each other. the other will show up sooner or later, unless you don't want that then let me know.Noncon
if you really want to. go ahead. good luck, he's muscular and will smash your skull in if he feels scared enough.Violence and Gore
depends on what it is, how permanent it is, and why. Ren is aroused by violence and gore but won't admit it just like that.Romance
i'm not interested.Sexual Interaction With Femmes
he's gay and terrified of women."Tes"

Tes is hypersexual and doesn't mind a quick fuck. just don't let it be the only thing we'll ever do, i'll probably lose interest.Tes' Weird Dick Anatomy

Quick Backstory
husband of Tes and redeemed main antagonist of the first arc. local unofficial mommy. basically a demigod and absurdly powerful, but lost control of himself and his path and tried to annihilate the world out of sheer hatred and anger.
once a sweet boy until he tried to avenge his murdered mother (she was an awful person), now just a librarian and protector of an informational archive in the middle of a frozen wasteland.
