I live in the -05:00 UTC time zone (East Coast Time). I do work full time, but can get on every day to at least read posts; making posts, usually I can do that every day but there are times where life just gets in the way. At the very least, I can promise once every other day, two days at the latest.

My characters tend to be 25 or under, but I can age up/do have older characters if actually needed.
I have a wide range of characters and am comfortable playing male or female characters of various sexual preferences. Though I will be up front - for any that bother reading this part - that I prefer heterosexual pairings.

I like romance, be aware; I prefer to have it be a subplot usually - though not always - if it's not a straight up romance plot.
I do not do parent/child or sibling sexually romantic RPs. Don't bother pitching it.

That being said, I don’t mind writing sex if it’s in the context of the RP - however, it should be a realistic expectation and definitely not turn into a plot point (being that it’s really the only thing the characters have going on.) And it’s okay to admit you’re uncomfortable writing it or just don’t know enough about the act to portray it with your writing - I am just as happy to fade and/or fast forward the RP past it if the situation comes up.

Violence is okay in my book, but just - again, and kind of my theme - is keep it realistic and within reason (i.e. no violence so absurd it’s cartoonish.) Everything can be justified and I’d like to be able to get a real reason if I ask. I’m a dark humored person with even darker outlooks on things (for a long time my main focus in writing was horror, after all) so don’t be afraid to have a dark setting or twisted characters.

I will not tolerate being railroaded, particularly when it comes to reactions from my character(s). It’s okay to set up the expectation, but I ask you keep it subtle/natural; there should never be a time where I can blatantly say “well, clearly they want X to do blah, even though X just wouldn’t do that.” I won’t do it to you, so please don’t do it to me.

I like to ask questions. It’s just how I am. Please never take it personally, and always feel free to ask grill me just as bad.

If you don’t take it personally, I won’t take it personally. Some characters are nice, some characters are mean, and some characters just stab people in the face for minor transgressions (yes, I have a character like that and it’s a lengthy explanation as to the justification for it.) What happens in character, though, is purely in character. Trust me, I won’t feel shy about telling you I have an issue, and I would hope you will do the same, so long as we all keep it civil.
