Please note that this is an experimental work in progress. The information provided may be subject to change periodically.




The recent buzz surrounding HellScream involves a scandal that has rocked the music industry, shedding light on the band's notorious reputation for their rebellious antics. Reports suggest that following a concert, the band hosted an extravagant after-party filled with women, alcohol, and drugs, with some high-profile celebrities rumored to have indulged in the revelry.

Social media has been inundated with photos and videos capturing the wild scenes from the event, showcasing the band members and their guests engaging in hedonistic behavior like drinking, smoking, and mingling with multiple companions. Among the attendees are recognizable faces from the entertainment world, including actors, models, and athletes, known for their own controversial lifestyles.

HellScream's management swiftly responded, dismissing the allegations as exaggerated and emphasizing the private nature of the gathering. They assert the band's right to lead their lives without undue scrutiny, highlighting their autonomy as adults.

However, critics and fans remain unconvinced, denouncing the band's conduct as irresponsible and harmful. They argue that HellScream, as influential figures, should demonstrate greater accountability for their actions, especially considering their impact on impressionable fans.

The controversy has sparked impassioned discussions online and in the media, with opinions sharply divided. Calls for boycotts, apologies, and charitable efforts have surfaced, while defenders argue against perceived double standards in the entertainment industry.

As the debate rages on, the repercussions of HellScream's alleged debauchery on their career trajectory and public perception remain uncertain.

Basic Information
______________

Name: Rowan Asheford

Stage name: Karth Blackthorn

Occupation: Lead Vocalist & Founder of HellScream

Aliases: Hell's Emissary

Age: Late Twenties- to -Early Thirties

Birth date: June 16th 1XXX

Height: 6 feet 5 inches

Weight: 104 kg

Hair Color/Style: Dull strands of black hair fall from the man's shoulders in ungroomed disarray, framing his lined face and neck in the manner of a lion's mane. An equally unkempt beard sprouts from his jawline in bristles, kept wholly untouched by any razor in recent memory. His hooked beak of a nose draws plain attention to the center of a weather-beaten visage, set between a pair of lively gray eyes that may be considered his only redeeming facial trait against an otherwise marred canvas. A few streaks of white often appear in his locks, giving him an aged appearance.

Eye Color: His eyes are gray and have a cloudy, veiled appearance.

Distinguishing Marks: His left eye has a scar underneath that looks like a thin, incomplete spiderweb. Silver studs or small silver hoops are often worn in his ears.

Race/Ethnicity: Demonically Possessed Human

Skin Complexion: Porcelain with highlights of ash

Body: Possessed of towering height and a broad build, his stocky physique lends itself well to a martial trade, leaning on the heavier side; it comes as no surprise that he boasts thick limbs and an expansive chest, stretching the fabric of his clothing to their very last notches.

Personality: Though Karth may strike one as a gruff, jaded man upon first glance, those who work their way into his good graces - whether through time, effort or simply by nature of being likable - will quickly notice that he is not without manners, in fact, he is full of humor; jokes, sarcastic remarks, and laughter are commonplace in his company.

Basic Alignment:
[True Neutral]
A neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. He doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil-after all, he would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, he's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way.

Some neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run.

Hobbies: Aside from writing music for the band, Karth is somewhat of a beer sommelier. Beer is his passion, and he knows how it's made and its history.

Admirable Traits:

[Perseverance.] Continuing to work hard and persist despite setbacks.

[Open-mindedness.] Being willing to consider and listen to others' ideas and perspectives.

[Responsibility.] Being reliable, dependable, and accountable for one's actions.

[Adaptability.] Being flexible and able to adjust to new situations and challenges.

Negative Traits:

[Anger.] When Karth is angry, he loses the ability to be rationalized with. In turn, he will become a reckless and short-sighted individual.

Philosophy Of Life: “It's better to fail trying than to regret not trying at all.”

Armaments

Weaponry: He doesn't feel the need to carry any weapons. He's confident that even crazed fans or potential threats wouldn't pose a challenge to him.

Accessories: Karth always proudly displays his silver necklace adorned with a sword pendant, considering it a cherished family heirloom.

Attire: He doesn't spend much time keeping up with fashion. Shirts, jackets, jeans, and shoes; all in dark colors, are fine for him.

Expertise
_______

[Songwriter]
He is HellScream's main songwriter and has extraordinary musical talent. Large audiences are moved to mass hysteria by his often violent lyrics. While HellScream travels, Karth comes up with violent ideas for song material, which he records on his laptop or mobile device. HellScream's music is held to extremely high standards, and he appears to hold the final word. If the finished albums do not meet his standards, he doesn't hesitate to delete them.

[Demonic Physiology]
Individuals exhibit the traits, attributes, characteristics, and/or abilities akin to those attributed to demons, which are malevolent spirits typically associated with Satanic divinity or the realm of Hell. This state is attained through complete or partial metamorphosis into demon-like entities, the deliberate emulation of certain facets of demonic nature, or inherently possessing demonic qualities from the outset.

Race/Ethnicity: Demonically Possessed Human

Skin Complexion: Porcelain

Body: He has a muscular and gentle form, his body slim and slender along the waist and abdomen. He also has rather toned and muscular calves and biceps, it seems he had trained and exercised. His body is also a bit curvaceous, along his waistline. He also seems to have a gentle toned neckline.

Tone of voice: A whispery rasp in his baritone voice adds a sultry edge to his words. The more passionate he is about a subject, the faster he speaks. He's good at taking on other accents to fit in better where he lives, although his "natural" accent is closer to a standard Spanish one.

Personality: The recognition he gets as the fastest guitarist in the world has made him really proud. Eli's personality is more stuck-up and conceited compared to his bandmates, and he can be pretty clueless sometimes. He doesn't realize when he's wrong and often gets defensive even when he clearly is. Despite acting all confident in public, he sometimes breaks down emotionally when he's alone, but he keeps it hidden from others and puts on a tough front. He's also afraid of failing and being rejected, especially because of the pressure that comes with being known as The Fastest Guitarist Alive, which he talks about when he's alone, looking at himself in the mirror.

Hobbies: He doesn't have many hobbies or skills apart from playing the guitar, making him the least diverse member of the band. Once, Valerio challenged him to name something unrelated to guitars, and Eli couldn't come up with anything. However, he does enjoy designing custom guitars in his spare time and has a collection of unique ones. One guitar he owns is said to be made from wood from the True Cross, although he doesn't realize how it might offend Christians. He also owns a nightclub and spends most of his free time there when he's not with the band.

Additional: Eli is known as the band's Lothario, portraying him as the most sexually active member. During an interview, he admits to having no personal recollection of most of his sexual encounters, except for those involving paternity suits, which are dismissed as his partners must sign a "fatherhood waiver" beforehand.

Basic Alignment:
[Neutral Evil]
A neutral evil character does whatever he can get away with. He is primarily concerned with his own well-being and advancement, and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. He has no qualms about harming others to get what he wants, but he doesn't go out of his way to cause trouble or harm others unless there is something to be gained for him.

Admirable Traits:

[Ambition] He is driven and motivated to succeed in his career as a musician.

[Pensive] A tendency to be thoughtful and reflective, often considering things carefully before making a decision.

[Egotistic] A person who is excessively self-centered and may prioritize their own needs and desires above those of others, and may often talk about themselves or their accomplishments.

[Cynical] A person who is skeptical or distrustful of others' motives or actions, and who may believe that people are generally selfish or insincere. A person who is cynical may be pessimistic or negative in their outlook, and may be resistant to believing in or trusting others.

Philosophy of life: “The reason people use a crucifix against demons is because demons are allergic to bullsh*t.”

Accessories: He wears numerous rings on his fingers, with some fingers adorned with two rings each.

Attire: He keeps himself informed about the latest fashion trends, not to mimic them, but to stay authentic to his unique style. He doesn't have a specific clothing preference; instead, he adds his own flair to whatever he wears.

Expertise
_______

[Guitarist]
Eli is the lead guitarist for the band HellScream and is widely recognized as "The Fastest Guitarist Alive" due to his expertise in playing speedy scales. He takes great pride in his ability to pick clean and fast, often critiquing the skills of other guitarists. His exceptional speed is the result of years of relentless practice, often in unconventional locations such as submerged in a hot tub, in elevators, while asleep, and even during meals at home or in public. Eli dedicates himself to daily finger-coordination exercises almost obsessively. His speed is so remarkable that he had to deliberately slow down to play an acoustic guitar in the blues style, requiring significant adjustment.

At one point before Valerio joined the band, Eli expressed a desire to be the sole guitarist, confident in his ability to carry the band by himself. He demonstrated this confidence by consistently outperforming any guitarist who sought to join HellScream as a second guitarist, with Valerio being the only one who came close to matching his skill level. While Eli is undoubtedly the more skilled guitarist, he relies on Valerio during performances to enhance his own abilities, as Valerio is the only one capable of doing so. Despite this reliance, Eli harbors a fear that Valerio may surpass him in skill, leading to competition and tension between the two both on and off stage.

III.


Jovonni Morello was once a man of power and prestige, an advisor to the crown and a viscount in 17th century France. But his thirst for power and influence led to his downfall. He was betrayed by a trusted confidant and was forced to flee for his life. He spent the next several decades as a wanderer, traveling the world and adopting various occupations, such as that of a peddler, a merchant, and an adventurer.

It was during this time of wandering that Jovonni was turned into a vampire by another vampire, Matthieu. The transformation was not an easy one, and it was a painful reminder of the darkness that had consumed his life. But it also gave him a new purpose, a new identity, and a new thirst for power.

Jovonni's past was filled with darkness and secrets, and he was not one to share them easily. He had been the lover of King Louis XIII, and their secret romance was one of the reasons for his downfall. He also had been the bed of many queens, unknown to their husbands. He would often joke that he possibly sired the entirety of French royalty from the late 1790s onward.

During the French Revolution, Jovonni saw the worst of humanity. He saw the horrors of war and the atrocities of mankind. It only reinforced his belief that the world was a cruel and unforgiving place. He played a role in many historical events, but always remained in the shadows, never revealing his true identity.

As the centuries passed, Jovonni's love for the arts never waned. He met with many artists and writers throughout the ages, and one of his most memorable encounters was with the poet Charlotte Bronte. They had a brief romance, and Jovonni often reflected on the beauty and tragedy of their love, as it was doomed from the start due to his curse of immortality.

As the 19th century gave way to the 20th century, Jovonni found himself struggling to adapt to the changes of the world. The world was becoming more modern and industrialized, and Jovonni felt like a relic of the past. He felt disconnected from the world, and more alone than ever before.

And so, Jovonni disappeared, blending into the shadows once more. He left behind a trail of secrets and mysteries, and his whereabouts remain unknown to this day. He is a being whose past is shrouded in darkness, a past that he would rather forget, but one that will always be a part of him.

Biological Age: 400 Something odd years

Hair color/Style: His hair is a study in contrast, a stunning combination of jet black and silver hues. The long, wavy locks are often styled in a ponytail, showcasing the length and flow of his hair. However, it was the silver highlights that added a touch of elegance and refinement. These silver strands, which run just above his eyes, serve as a striking frame to his face. The bangs of his hair are slightly longer than the rest, allowing them to delicately drape over his forehead, adding a touch of softness and vulnerability to his otherwise rugged appearance. This duality of dark and light, rough and smooth, creates a captivating appearance that is impossible to ignore.

Eye Color: His eyes are a mesmerizing blend of dark hues that could captivate anyone who dared to gaze into them. They possess a haunting quality, with a dark almost black color that seemed to penetrate the very soul. But upon closer inspection, one would notice a subtle play of color and light. The iris of his eyes are a dark purple, with a distinctive gradation towards the outer edges, where the shade was a bit lighter.

Despite the seemingly rugged exterior, upon closer examination, one would discover a level of finesse and delicacy. He possessed a lithe and slender frame that belied a formidable strength and sturdiness. The tactile experience of touching his skin was akin to that of a diamond - smooth, soft, and cool to the touch - a testament to both his physical and aesthetic excellence.

Tone of Voice: His voice is an enthralling auditory experience, possessing a musicality that was both captivating and alluring. Yet, it was also tinged with a hint of ominousness, as if there were a subtle undercurrent of danger lurking beneath the surface.

This, coupled with a tendency towards testiness at times, served to lend his voice an air of complexity, reflecting the multifaceted nature of his personality. It is a voice that one could not easily forget, leaving a lasting impression long after the conversation had ended.

Personality: Jovonni is a being of contradictions. On one hand, he is arrogant and cocky, relishing in his noble status and authority.

He is well-versed in literature, music, and the visual arts, and often engages in deep discussions about the meaning of life and the nature of existence. He is also fiercely independent and defiant, refusing to be controlled by anyone or anything.

They are opportunistic in nature and are always on the lookout for ways to gain a profit, regardless of whether it is through legal, questionable, or illegal means.

Each weapon posed its own unique challenges and required a distinct set of skills to wield effectively. The sword, for example, demanded precision, control, and strength, while the dagger required quick reflexes and stealth. The crossbow, on the other hand, required a steady hand and a keen eye for accuracy. Despite the differences in their use, he is adept at the art of using each of these weapons.

Accessories: Jovonni is often seen wearing a variety of luxurious accessories, including rings, bracelets, and necklaces made of gold and precious stones.

II.


"As I sift through the files, the weight of this cold case bears down on me like a shadow in the depths of night. The name that haunts the pages, Dominic Venturi, a phantom lurking in the underbelly of our city. His presence, a whispered secret, shrouded in darkness, concealed by those who dared not speak his name aloud.

The local police, wise in their own way, turned a blind eye to his transgressions. Out of respect or fear, they chose to avoid trouble, allowing him to slip through the cracks of justice. But now, with new information surfacing, the time has come to unearth the secrets that lie within the abyss.

The FBI files paint a hazy picture of this elusive figure. Shadows and whispers, mere fragments of his existence. The name dropped here and there by lowlifes seeking a way out, desperate souls hoping for a plea deal. But solid evidence remains elusive, slipping through our fingers like smoke in the wind. Intercepted radio snippets, tantalizing but inconclusive, a puzzle missing its crucial pieces.

What strikes me most is his intelligence, a cunning mind that weaves intricate webs, connecting threads that we never knew existed. How did he convince ground commanders to release the very criminals we apprehended, their hands cuffed, yet set free at his command? What dark persuasiveness lies within him, bending the will of those who should uphold justice?

And then, a glimmer of hope, a thread to pull. Dominic, last seen at a seedy bar five years ago, vanished into thin air, assumed to have met a violent end. But now, whispers reach our ears of a recent sighting, a glimpse of this enigma. The darkness stirs, a pulse of anticipation coursing through my veins.

The puzzle pieces slowly align, the shadows inch closer to the light. I prepare to delve into the unknown, to peel back the layers of deception and discover the truth that lies within. Dominic, the phantom who haunts our city, the embodiment of our darkest fears and deepest secrets, may yet be brought to justice.

As I step into the murky depths of this investigation, I am aware that danger lurks, that shadows may consume me. But I am undeterred, driven by a relentless pursuit of truth."





Basic Information
______________


Name: Dominic Venturi

Occupation: Various.

Height: 6’3

Weight: 88 kg

Age: Late twenties - Early thirties

Hair color/Style: Black, mostly straight, varying lengths no longer than his shoulders.

Eye Color: Amber eyes of a deep hue resembling liquid gold or topaz. They are eye-catching and unique, easily standing out among the crowd.

Distinguishing Marks: There are a few. An Irish knotwork tattoo with a tribal twist adorns his left upper arm, while a tattoo of the 7 of spades and 2 of diamonds adorns his right ring finger. His body is decorated with many scars that have faded over time. His scars serve as symbols of memories that imprison his soul, and there are so many memories on him.

Skin Complexion: Olive

Body: His body is slim and well muscled, with well-developed shoulders that are wide, square, and well-defined. By the action of his arrested motion, each muscle fiber is individually defined under the olive skin, giving him a full chest, a prominent abdomen, and a defined chin. His narrow hips flow smoothly into his rounded, fully muscled thighs. He has thin, dark luminous eyes set widely apart under black, arching brows that reveal a conflict within him.

Personality: Dominic could be described as very serious and stoic, rarely speaking more than necessary. An individual who prefers action over words, and is recounted as someone who never wastes them. Even though he can be calm and collected, if he is angered or driven by vengeance, he will stop at nothing until he kills his target.

Basic alignment: [Chaotic Neutral]
These characters believe that nothing is ordered, including their own actions. Following this guiding principle, they tend to act according to their whim. Good and evil are irrelevant when making a decision. The handling of chaotic neutral characters can be extremely challenging. There have been instances of such characters cheerfully gambling away everything they have on the roll of a single die without any apparent reason. Their reliability is almost nonexistent. As a matter of fact, the only thing that can be relied upon about them is that they are unreliable.

Hobbies: Dom enjoys both art and literature. His frequent trips to museums around the world occupy a great deal of his time on his off days. Whenever he goes on a trip, he always brings back a book, which he adds to his extensive library. Recently, he has developed an interest in poetry.

Admirable Traits: Quick-witted. Attentive. Devoted.

Negative Traits: Reckless. Brash. Imprudent.

Philosophy Of Life: “I decide what I want, and then, I say no to everything else that isn't that.”


Armaments
_________


Weaponry: He never carries weapons on himself because he can usually escape situations which would normally prove deadly. His method of choice is to usually talk his way out of said circumstances.

Accessories: Occasionally a watch, a ring, or a necklace. His add-ons should match whatever he wears.

Attire: He is rarely seen outside formal attire, except at home when he is at ease. Among the suit brands he prefers are Burberry, Ted Baker, Hugo Boss, and Canali.

Expertise
________


[Skilled Leader]
Dom also seemed to possess extensive leadership skills, given the fact that he ruled over the mob in New York for a period of time without challenge.

[Expert Manipulator]
Through deep-seated doubts, he managed to persuade two of his most troublesome enemies to turn on one another. After he seized control of their businesses, he assassinated them when they were focusing on each other.

[Peak Human Condition]
Dominic is physically at his peak. Athletically gifted, he is very strong, durable, fast, agile, stamina-rich, and has a high threshold for pain.

I.


Basic Information
______________

Name: Sylvari Inverno

Alias: The Unforeseen King

Status: Alive

Species: Elf

Sexuality: Straight, Bi-curious

Assumed Age: 20-24

Actual Age: 350

Place of birth: Kingdom of Illium

Occupation: King of the Elvish People

Description of Sylvari: There is a unique charm to Sylvari that bleeds into every aspect of his form as if he were a created thing rather than imperfectly born. His gait is light, reminiscent of a dance and his voice caries a gentle yet rich cadence. Silken lengths of pearly gray hair cascades well below his shoulders, a glimmer of starlight caught in the lengths in just the right light. The shorter lengths frame his features that tread a fine line between masculine and delicate. The mix a courtesy of pronounced cheekbones and strong jaw, which lacks even a whisper of stubble where one would expect it. The brilliant shade of his evergreen eyes holds confidence, tranquility and sincere interest in their captive gaze while his mouth craves attention with its warm smile. No taller or shorter than the next man he has the honed physique of a dancer but broaches on the leaner end of the scale. One might best describe the young man. A keen viewer though might note the smaller flaws, of which there are many, that suggest Sylvari is indeed one of those imperfectly born things. A few are more noticeable than others like the pale scars on otherwise smooth hands or the slight sneer an old hair-fine scar leaves on his upper lip.

Appearance
__________

Height: 5'11

Weight: 140

Hair Style: His hair is a shade of silver, it has a slight waviness and reaches to his waist.

Eye Color: His eye color will change on a variety of emotions. Though usually they remain their gentle shade of green.

Distinguishing Marks: His ears are pierced once each, his tongue is also pierced.

Skin Complexion: Alabaster toned.

Body: He has a gentle body chiseled and toned around his torso, along with small amounts of toning along his body. His waist is curvaceous and slim, curves running over his lower half. He is toned and athletic so his body shows off some of that athleticism is his flexibility.

Physical Condition: His body is chiseled along his muscles, his abs are well toned and rounded, the same amount of toning is present over his calves and hamstrings not to mention his biceps. His entire body seems to carry this athletic look.

Tone of Voice: You would expect him to at least sound deadly, but his voice is gentle. It sounds very well educated, though he can change or throw his voice letting him meld with any crowd and seem inconspicuous, almost invisible and able to blend with any sort of style.

Personality
_________

Serenity becomes Sylvari; he is as tranquil as the mirror shine of an undisturbed lake. Not to say he is without passion, merely knows there is a time and place for such things. He is seldom brought to ire or malicious in word or action and in spite of being softly spoken Sylvari never lacks conviction nor shies from calling a spade anything other than what it is. Astute yet willing to admit to a lack of understanding in some topics he is always eager to learn, or to ask, but this eagerness can fuel a wicked curiosity for which he must stride along a fine line of decorum, never going so far to appear intrusive. Compassion comes easily to Sylvari and his loyalty is fierce. No matter the need he is willing to do almost anything to brighten another's day, bring about a smile or relieve some small burden if he is able. He is an attentive sounding board, an empathic ear and if needed simply company to enjoy wine and conversation with.

Mental Disturbances: Sylvari commonly possesses strong but swiftly passing passions, being moved easily to laughter, anger, or misery and as quickly calmed. He is known for his impulsive behavior and, as a result, many races saw him as flighty or impetuous. However, he is not as flaky as others might interpret him to be, and he is usually responsible despite his almost whimsical nature. Partially due to his long lifespan, he had difficulty taking some matters as seriously as other races, but when threats he recognize did arise, he was a strong friend and ally to those he was loyal to. However, despite how unpleasant some things such as war could be, he became grimly serious if a threat to his friends, family, or livelihood made such actions necessary.

Expertise
________

Weaponry: He carries a few different weapons. The first being an old family heirloom. It is a sword adorned with two gleaming horses' heads touching noses above the grip; its scabbard clasped with gold and set with green gems. The second is a lance. It stands at nine feet high; the blade is curved and almost two feet long, it was etched in brass filigree. The spear must surely have been in Sylvari's possession for some time before the Battle of Orcs and Elves and may well have dated back to the last age or even before. The third being a blade of elvish make. It bites with chilling cold, a weapon that glitters like ice by the light of the stars.

Armor: On his torso, he wears a small iridium shirt of chain mail. It is close-woven of many rings, as supple almost as linen, cold as ice, and harder than steel... and studded with white gems of unknown variety.

Accessories: He wears an ornate silver ring. It is described as the likeness of two serpents intertwined with eyes made of green jewels. The serpents met beneath a crown of golden flowers that one upheld and one devoured. The jewels sometimes seemed to burn with green fire.

Enhanced Reflexes
[The ability to have an enhanced reaction speed allowing him to dodge and maneuver around complex attacks or catch falling objects. His only limitation for this being that someone has to be faster than him and not many are.. but thats only in the elven region.]

Enhanced Bowmanship
[An innate talent usually found in elves that grants incredible aptitude for the ways of bow and arrow. Sylvari doesn't have this talent, but it is said that he would have had great potential to be a phenomenal archer if only he hadn't fallen asleep during each and every one of his instructor's classes]

Zoopathy
[The ability to talk to and understand animals. In Sylvari's case, he speaks the language of crows. There's also something about all birds speaking different languages.]




History
______

Sylvari was born in 777, on the 11th of First Seed, which is a very peculiar date that held an abundant amount of significance to the high elves, causing them to celebrate for seventy-seven days, likely playing into his birthdate. Sylvari was born from King Gwynneth and Kin-lady Avariel, who ruled from the city-state of Illium. He may be a prince by birth, but he is a warrior by heart.

It was foretold that his childhood would reflect the restless and chaotic times that he would be born into, and it certainly shows. Sylvari was a quick-witted and nimble child, having the ability to adapt and overcome anything easily. His methods would be unorthodox at best.

Wanderlust had always been in his heart but it was not until responsibility to his family had faded, that the want for adventure became unbearable, that and the group of troubadours passing through the Illium Greens added just enough push to drive Sylvari towards his ambitions.

He stayed with the troupe for some months, travelling through the south and with them began his love for the arts, specifically music and dance. There would be more to learn though, and he could not stay with the musicians forever. The search for adventure and all the knowledge that comes with it saw Sylvari travel much of the continent in the first handful of years, never staying long enough to grow roots in one place. What called to him in all of his travels though were the schools of Courtesans where beauty and talent were drawn by the same brush and wrapped in silken finery; that was where he wanted to be. Where he could pursue his great love for performance and could bring that splendor to others, bring just a little color and wonder into the darkness of the current state of the world.

It all came to an end when his father passed.

Introduction


When it comes to my role plays I stick to two main genres, fantasy and modern. They aren’t as mutually different as people believe either but I find either I’m writing a role-play involving demons, magic, and other fun treats or my role plays become a much more realistic, bdsm, taboo centered writing. When I talk about fantasy I do mean the typical ‘highland’ fantasy involving a medieval period, or just an entire world built up around the idea that humans aren’t the only species. My fantasy role plays are very heavy in the supernatural and the mythical. Everything from gods and demi-gods to demons, angels, vampires, wolves. As you expect this leaves me quite open to a range of role plays. Whereas with modern role plays I tend to enjoy scenarios involving every-day people or pairings that just lean towards the explicit and the forbidden.

Bondage, bdsm, mind-control, adultery, polygamy. I have oodles of muse for this genre whether it’s the consensual or the rape variety, incest or just strict master/slavery play. I’ve always been a dominant male. Extremely dominant, to a fault one might say, and it’s thanks to this that I’ve developed clear lines when it comes to what I want and don’t want from a partner. It also is the reason my pairings will typically have a clear distinction between the roles of the submissive and the dominant. As noted I enjoy writing length posts and I will gladly write more if my partner just wants to read it. However I do want my partner to give something back as well and while also giving quantity, I expect there to be little to no drop in the quality of their work. I’ve seen people put more quality into just a paragraph than some do into a page of response. Personally I find it necessary to mix the two to give my partner the absolute best response possible.

​I’ve seen most people have a preference for ‘face claims’ and more realistic photos when it comes to their characters. As noted in my own profile I tend to deviate more toward the anime side of things but as of late I find myself using, and looking for face claims more often. I appreciate the ability to create your own characters image through words and description but there’s something about a photo that just speaks to me for ages. A good photo can go so far as to make or break a role play for me. Speaking of characters I just so happen to be a narcissist when it comes to my characters, I build them from head to toe. I give my characters backgrounds and personalities that I feel represent them to their fullest capacity. I don’t build them for the role play, I create the role play to represent them and their chemistry with others. As for my characters, as I mentioned previously I can implore any number of characters into a role play to suit its need.

​I don’t mind playing multiple guys, or background characters. I actually find it more interesting when the role play isn’t just the detailed dialogue of two people but dozens. It builds up the world around them. Realistically if you’re playing a married woman, or a married man, there’s no simple way of skipping over the spouse’s dialogue. It’s there and it should be used to build up the relationship, or make the adultery feel more explicit or forbidden. I’m not exclusive to these two genres, or their sub-genres, and unlike most partners I’m more than willing to explore different ideas and come out of my comfort zone.
