swordhardy | PERMISSIONS

PHYSICAL CONTACT

✓ — Hugs, shoulder touching, head pats, cuddling... it's all good. Rokurou's physical with the people he likes and often initiates contact himself. The people you love ... are furniture. Blanket permission to manhandle as you please. This also covers less affectionate gestures like pinching, punching, smacking, anything generally tame on the negative end if it's serious. If it's in the name of idiot slapstick, I basically have no limits.

PHYSICAL CONTACT ft. INTIMACY

✓ — He'll be surprised at a random ass grab or someone kissing him first, but gooo for it. He's often the one initiating so someone else going for it first is attractive. Response will depend upon the CR and general chemistry, but on an OOC level I'm giving a double thumbs up. Slap his dummy thicc ass, you know you want to. He won't react violently even if it isn't reciprocated.

FLIRTING

✓ — Flirt away! Anything easygoing and light he's likely to go along with. He's good at shallow, fun interactions ... not so good when things start to get more real. But yeah, tell him he's pretty. It'll make his day.

FIGHTING

✓ — 100% yes. Rokurou is a fight nut, with one of his main interests being to challenge strong opponents. If your character is looking for a fight he'll absolutely take them up on it; if your character is strong he might follow them around until they agree to fight. I do like to write fight threads but if they aren't your thing, fading to black or handwaving the encounter is totally cool. We can also handwave recurring spars if your character is also a fight nut.

When it comes to fights I try to keep things even. Rokurou's strong but not infallible, I'm all for him getting beaten-up and bloody. All about that give and take, baybee. For outcomes, let's discuss. I'm totally cool with him losing spars, though you might end up with a shadow bent on battle vengeance for....ever. Enjoy that.

Damage-wise, let's avoid anything hugely permanent (excluding scars) unless otherwise discussed.

KILLING

? — Maybe with discussion. Gotta die on the battlefield with a sword in his chest like a real Rangetsu. Not looking for a permanent death/drop plot ATM.

SHIPPING

✓ — Why ... would you want him ...

I'm a multishipper and into it if the chemistry is right. Rokurou's easygoing when it comes to anything casual and fun, but actual Feelings are a likely a long slowburn. Fair warning: he's a sword-obsessed knucklehead manchild with a weird family background, so good luck with that.

SMUT

✓ — Open to any variation of M/* and 16+. Older characters with the mental capacity of children and 1000+ characters who look 8 years old are no-gos.

I prefer to write out smut threads, so in general I'm not interested in fade to black unless we're wrapping up a scene. Longer tags that have a blend of meta and action are highly preferred; I have a difficult time writing smut ECATS style. It doesn't need to be an essay, but I like having something to work off of. You can find more info re: kinks under the NSFW link.

POWERS (INCOMING)

✓ — Feel free to use yours on him. Has no mental protections against mind reading or emotional manipulation. HMU for his thoughts and I'll let you know what your character can read/sense. I'm also cool with thief characters robbing him, ninja characters ninjaing around him, magicians doing magic ... basically, your characters' abilities are cool and you should use them! We can chat if anything serious pops up.

POWERS (OUTGOING)

✓ — If your character can sense an aura they are free to notice how his is an ominous dark purple. It's thick, heavy, feels like animosity or malevolence, and seems to be heavily entrenched in some kind of darkness/bad energy. It's said that daemons first came around as part of a curse on humanity, so supernaturally inclined characters can glean some wrongness from him. At the end of the game he's the only one that can't be purified by the sacred flame—Ro jokes that his sins are too great—so I'll go ahead and say his aura can be really oppressive to those that are sensitive given how deeply entrenched he is in malevolence.

Characters are also welcome to guess that he's a daemon/demon if that's something they can do/aligned with canon abilities. No worries if they can't though since it's something he has no problem announcing himself.

OOC

AVAILABILITY

✓ — EST tagger, mostly nights and weekends. Speed varies between 1-5 days. Open to boomeranging if we discuss and set aside a time for it. Network threads usually faster than logs.

I'm a huge backtagger and basically rely on this. If you're looking for someone who can finish a thread within a few days, I'm probably not the best match for you.

THREADJACKING

✓ — Network tags that aren't private are free game for both IC stalking/gleaning knowledge and jumping into. Logs require some discussion; I'm open to characters stalking/overhearing or tagging into public meetups but let's talk first.

4TH WALL

✓ — Let's avoid the "you're from a video game" route. 4th walling real life/memes/meta/anything funny, etc, is hilarious, go for it.

GODMODDING

? — To an extent. A-okay for moving threads along where it fits in the flow of a thread, let's avoid it for Rokurou's outright actions or feelings on a subject.

PLOTTING PREFERENCES

My general preference is to figure out starting details and then let the thread/CR build organically from there. I work best with an overall mood in mind with some vague points we'd like to reach, with the rest of it being improv based on how the thread rolls. I'm not a heavy planner, and sometimes like to just jump in feet first without working anything out at all for shits and giggles.

I've found that some of the best CR I've gotten in the past has been completely unexpected! In that vein, if you ever want to just throw yourself at me without warning, doooo it.

TAG STYLE & PREFS

Brackets, meatier tags, and a blend of meta and action. I don't expect an essay but I'm not an ECATS tagger; I usually have the most difficulty responding to one-liner tags. I don't push longer tags for the sake of length—whatever works for the moment/scene is great—but I really enjoy description and characters' inner thoughts.

FLAGS

Assuming it suits the mood/thread, I really enjoy writing about heavier subjects. This includes (but is not limited to): violence, blood, gore, cruelty, torture, weapons, wounds, complicated family history, dubcon, fucked up family dynamics, fucked up and unhealthy CR dynamics in general. HOWEVER, I will never spring this on you without warning, and if it comes up in a thread I will include a CW. None of this will come up in light-hearted, easygoing threads. If you want to delve deeper and are into it, though.... opens arms.

AVOID

I'm pretty unflappable. I'll let you know if anything bothers me!
