• I write from [ Advanced ] to [ Novella ]. This means that, depending on the scene and how much story I have to tell, I'll generally write anywhere from paragraphs to pages. Collaboration and character interaction tend to make my posts trend on the shorter end, whereas solo scenes tend to run longer.
• I am an experienced [ World Builder ]. I find that every roleplay I do requires some level of foundational work, sometimes just a little, sometimes quite a lot. I like rich, immersive worlds, but I never to build the world in its entirety. I setup what is necessary to begin with, and then add as I go along.
• I am a [ Story Teller ]. I'm not a player and I don't coast along roleplays, hoping to be a part of a grand adventure. I am a story weaver, a plot driver, a writer of sheer focus and will. I have plans, plans within plans, plots within plans within plans. I have goals and the story I tell is the journey to those goals. These goals range from small, fun tidbits, to grandiose moments of revelation, to personal character arcs, positive or negative growth, background, side stories, interludes: I do it all.
• [ "God-modding" ] and [ "One-liners" ] are useful, necessary tools. Let me explain:
• I will always [ Communicate ]. I will never ghost you, ignore you, or abandon you. I'm never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around, or desert you. If you ghost me, ignore me, or abandon me, don't expect my willingness to roleplay with you again to be easy to come by. I have good etiquette, I will always keep you up to date and in the loop. I expect the same from you. If you need a break, if life happens, if the mood simply isn't there, that's all good. I understand. I get it. I have no problems with it. The same happens to me. If I don't hear from you or you keep blowing me off over a long period of time, I'll move on.
• My timezone is [ GMT -7 ] and as a night shift worker, my availability is generally at night. I do most of my writing Wednesday through Saturday. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday I have limited availability. I generally try to post at least once a week, sometimes more, rarely less.

• [ "God-modding" ] and [ "One-liners" ] are useful, necessary tools. Let me explain:
God-modding is an excellent way to ensure the continuation of a scene without having to stop for every shrug, nod, or grunt from a character you don't necessarily control. It also helps prevent completely side-lining a character's presence in the post. This is best implemented under two circumstances: only once we are comfortable with the personality of each other's character and only in small ways, such as a shrug, nod, or simple reply. For more complex or detailed replies, we can simply ask what the character would do or how they will respond and insert that into the post. If something is ever wrong, or just not quite right, it can be edited easily enough.
One-liners happen in reality, and so they shouldn't be avoided just for the sake of avoidance. That being said, I'll never make you wait a week to get a one-line reply. In fact, one-liners are best used with minor god-modding or during collaborative dialogue which, ideally, would include a lot of rapid back-and-forth replies. I always strive to achieve as natural feeling dialogues as I can.

| What I Expect From You |
• [ 21+ ]. Especially if you want smut, otherwise, I'm fine with fade-to-black, etc. Additionally, themes can get dark, graphic, and heavy. We will discuss things beforehand. I myself am 30+ and prefer partners who are a bit older.
• [ Advanced ] to [ Novella ] writing ability. You don't need particularly fancy prose or perfect grammar. I like longer posts, when scenes allow, and would prefer someone who can mostly keep pace with me.
• [ Collaboration ] is more than just writing together, it's working together. It's planning, it's brainstorming, it's sharing the work load of world building, and, most especially, it is communicating. I always want to know what you're thinking or how you feel about something, even if it's about my character. This doesn't mean you have to give away all of your juicy secrets, unless strictly necessary for continuity or plot.
• [ Participation ]. I don't want someone who is simply here to react to everything I am doing, waiting for something interesting to fall into their lap. I want someone who will help drive the story, various side plots, and character development. Roleplaying, for me, is the same as authoring a book. I am a storyteller and I want storytellers in return.
• Have the ability to play [ Multiple Characters ] . It is simply necessary for a good roleplay. I will divide my characters between main cast, supporting secondaries, and general NPCs of varying importance. That being said, not every character needs an IC post. I only write for other characters when necessary or relevant, and tend to stick to my primary character(s) for regular posting. If I'm waiting for a reply and want to write, I may do some sort of scene of not totally insignificant importance with another character.
• I'm looking for [ Long-term ] partners. I look for capable writers, not just interesting ideas. Slumps happen, hiatuses will be taken—we all struggle sometimes, we all have lives. We all get bored. I'd rather start a new story than lose who I'm writing with. And if we wind up at a crossroads, then we can part on friendly terms. So long as you respect me, I will do the same, and I'll always be in your corner for the future.

• [ Romance ] is a plus, but certainly not necessary between main characters. In simple terms: I prefer [ F x F ] or [ F x M ] for the focus of primary characters. I tend to disproportionately choose a female oriented character for my primary character(s). I'm open to a lot of things and very friendly towards all dispositions, interests, etc, even if they're not particularly for me. This means that things that I don't really have a strong interest in tend to be more background plots, such as [M x M]—I have no issues with it, I even enjoy it under certain circumstances, I'm just generally not personally invested enough for that to hold my attention as a primary, driving theme.
• [ High Fantasy ], [ Apocalyptic ], and [ Sci Fi ] are my main genres, in that order, but I'm always open-minded to other possibilities.
• I do like [ Magic ], [ Supernatural Ability/Powers ], [ Non-human Races ], and things in that realm of thought. Again, these are just some of my top likes.
• I do not do [ Canons ] or [ Fandoms ], but I do take inspiration and straight up steal ideas from sources I enjoy.
• I also tend to stay away from [ (standard) Modern ], [ Western ], [ Historical ], and [ Slice-of-Life ] settings. That's not to say that there may not be, for instance, slice-of-life moments in an RP, I just don't enjoy these genres as a primary focus
