WANTS
(What I really, REALLY like to play.)
(What I really, REALLY like to play.)
- ROMANCE. I LOVE romances. I will take them all--happy romances, hate-mance, bittersweet, star-crossed lovers, straight, bi, gay, pan, asexual. You name it, I'll probably be willing to try it. My favorite kinds of romances have some element of inherent strife or difference between the couples. This can range from a simple 'opposites attract' scenario to full-blown love-hate. They don't have to be healthy or even long-lasting, but I'm also totally game for couples that are perfect for one another. I do have a tendency to gravitate towards romance without even trying so if you see me doing this and want me to stop please let me know.
- The Fall/Rise mechanic. This is what I call a type of character development (be it mine or anyone else's) where a character starts out normal or well off and has everything taken away from them. This can be physically, emotionally, spiritually, some mix of it all. They go from whatever they were to rock bottom (or at least near the bottom.) And then, over time, they get built back up. I'm not nice to characters. I enjoy tearing them down, watching them suffer, and then allowing them to slowly be rewarded for enduring that suffering. Sometimes I even do take-backsies, but mostly once I'm done tearing a character down (I prefer to make it swift, only a handful events. I don't like repeatedly knocking a character down or kicking them at their lowest) I'm ready to focus on the good.
- Intrigue. I love plots and schemes and plans on any and all levels. From petty plotting to high level political scheming. It's all great to me.
DO NOT WANTS (Limits)
(Let's try to avoid these, kay?)

I'll be honest. I'm willing to play basically anything/everything/ (except minors/adults relationships. Gross. Pedophilia is not okay.) I might not want to go into the gritty details but I have no problems with implying some pretty brutal things nor dealing with the aftermath of them. Subject matter doesn't phase me. I have no triggers.
There are just two things where I will not want to play with you.
First, I have had VERY bad experiences with people who play entire session-casts by themselves. As in, they have 4+ characters who all know each other and have been in the same session and you play all those characters by themselves and have them constantly hanging out together or talking about each other. Biased? Yes. But after having four bad run-ins with people being so extremely self absorbed in their own characters' interactions that they ignore everyone else around them, I'd rather just avoid it completely until I've had time to watch you and confirm that you're not gonna just be putting on dramas for an audience and you actually want to roleplay with people.
And I do not want to play is someone whose only purpose is to pick up the pieces of your character when they keep getting knocked down repeatedly. Nor do I want to play a character whose only job is to go "How terrible!" when terrible things happen. I want to be an active participant in what happens to your character and mine. If you just want drama llama audience, look elsewhere. If you want to put your character through the wringer, I want to be turning the crank or else shoving my character in there with yours.
