⊱ ───── RP Rules & Information ───── ⊰


These are some basic rules. I might add more or change some in the future, but if there’s a significant edit, I’ll make a post about it to let you know.



                                   ⊱ ────── Activity ────── ⊰

1.) Length of time for responses - I’ll always try to answer as soon as I can, but there will be times when I’m unavailable to reply as quickly as I’d like. Real life takes precedence. So please, if I disappear for a day or two, don’t spam me- it gives me anxiety and I’ll only end up procrastinating even more. I’ll get to you at my own pace.

2.) Breaks - If I ever do need to go on a break that lasts for more than two to three weeks, I’ll give you a heads up. Sometimes, it’s just because I’m busy, sometimes I have a bad case of writer’s block. I don’t want to force myself to write and end up sending a terrible response. I want the experience to be fun for both parties, so I hope you’re understanding of this rule ^~^

3.) Your length of time for responses - I’ve had people just randomly abandon rps without telling me anything before, so this is a little crucial. I’ll usually only get concerned if you haven’t replied for at least 2 weeks. If a month passes with no response or explanation for your disappearance, I’ll be forced to drop our rp and unfriend you. If you need an extended break, then all you have to do is tell me and we can shelve the rp. I’ll try to be reliable with replies, so you need to be too.

4.) RP slots - I like long-form responses. This means more effort and time is put into it, so I’ll only be able to juggle a handful of rps at a time. You can check how many rps I'm currently handling in my RP ideas blog. If my rp slots are full, you can still friend me, although it might take a while before I'm able to open another slot. In the meantime, we can just chat or brainstorm ideas we might be interested in exploring in the future ^~^

5.) Discord - Change of rules! I am now open to moving to discord, however, I still prefer to plan things out on here before creating a whole server for the rp. I will still rp on here, but the option to move is there.

6) You add, you talk - Simple as that. I give the same courtesy if I'm the one to friend you first. Even if you can't rp now, I'd like an indication you're willing to plan one in the future, near or distant. I don't like cluttering my friends list with silent accounts.



                                 ⊱ ────── Characters ────── ⊰

1.) Ocs only - I prefer creating unique characters in unique plot lines. It just gives me more creative freedom. Trying to match an existing work and getting it right stresses me out so I don’t like doing them.

2.) Character profiles - I’m open to both creating and sending brief character profiles before we start, or just naturally integrating character descriptions, personality, and backstory through rp.

3.) Faceclaims - I can do both anime and real-life face claims. Just let me know your preferences. I'm fine with just descriptions too.

4.) Character relationships - I’m able to do fxm, fxf, mxm. I usually write for female characters, but I'm open to writing male characters if requested. I also enjoy ensemble ships.



                                  ⊱ ────── Roleplay ────── ⊰

1.) Literate - This is a must. No text talk, asterisks, or one-liners. I’ve got room for grammatical error to an extent (Ex. If English isn’t your first language). I’d at least like to be able to understand what you’re writing.

2.) Response length - I tend to write in multiple paragraphs, but those paragraphs don’t necessarily always have to be five to six sentences long. I’ll always try to match your length so long as it isn’t a one-liner or half a paragraph long.

3.) OOC talk - If you want to talk OOC while rping, I’ll need some kind of marker to let me know it’s OOC. I tend to use ((insert text)), but other markers like [ ], { }, //, etc. are ok too. If we’re not currently engaged in an rp, it isn’t necessary.

4.) Perspective - Writing in the third person is my default, although I can make an adjustment to write in first if requested. I also feel more comfortable writing in the present tense rather than in the past tense.

5.) Not safe for work - I’ll only make an exception to doing this if there’s enough build-up, or if I feel comfortable doing so. I’ll tell you if I’m not, in which case, it has to be a fade-out. Asking for it or being pushy about this rule will get you an easy block.

6.) Roleplay genres - I have a major preference for romance, slice-of-life, and supernatural rps, although a compelling enough plot can definitely sway me in any direction. Romance doesn’t have to be the central plot, but I do like to have it as a subplot.

7) Plotting - PLEASE don't just give me a basic idea and not anything else. Not every plot point and story beat have to be planned out, but I do prefer to have a basic skeleton of how the first few replies will go. Don't just "wing it."



                                  ⊱ ────── Triggers ────── ⊰

1.) I don’t like dwelling too much in misery or angst. Things don’t always have to be all sunshine and rainbows, but if things are constantly dark and depressing, to the point where it's just misery pxrn, then it’s gonna have to be a no for me.

2.) Graphic descriptions of gore, suicide, suicide attempts, self-harm, sexual assault (non-con, dub-con, etc.) and sexual violence. Themes and mentions are fine, but dedicating multiple paragraphs to describing it in detail isn't something I can handle.

3.) I’m pretty comfortable with a lot of things. Just nothing too extreme or potty/edgy humour.

Not really a trigger, but something that should be avoided nonetheless:

1.) Controlling my character without permission. (Ex. Describing my characters reacting/acting in some way in your reply without my input. NPCs are exempt from this rule).

2.) Mary-sues.
