Out of Character
yes ✔︎ ask first | see notes ✱ no ✘
backtagging ✔︎ If it's been > 1 month since it was tagged, I assume it's dropped.
threadhopping: network ✔︎ threads/logs ✱ (touch base first)
fourthwalling: Generally, no. Open to discussion for exceptions.
spoilers: minor ✔︎ major ✱ (touch base first) I prefer to consume content for CR.
negative cr: While OOC communication is always good, I require that for negative CR.
descriptive violence/horror: I'm usually comfortable writing at my character's canon levels. I still appreciate a heads up all the time.
explicit sex: Generally no. Once I have gotten to know & trust a writer, I will consider it.
In Character
yes ✔︎ ask first | see notes ✱ no ✘
established relationship touches ✔︎ social etiquette ✔︎ trial triggered intimacy ✔︎ casual gestures from social contacts ✱ honestly most things fall under the calculated category ✱ touch with ill intent ✘
physical affection: Mel is not used to physical intimacy. She follows social norms for whatever society she is in. Folkmore is a mix of cultures, so she will try to pick up on others' cultures and meet them win the middle while reserving the right to uphold boundaries. In the end, she calculates the benefit to any action; her comfort is only one factor. At least until people teach her to prioritize it.
immediate death is alternative ✔︎ sparring is fine ✔︎ no alternatives can be determined with enough chance of success to warrant attempting ✱ almost all the time, all physical violence ✘
physical violence: Mel comes from Noxus, the Runeterra equivalent of Rome. It is an expanding empire solving its problems internal and external with violence. She deplores violence and has devoted her life to finding other ways tor the world, at least a part of it she can be responsible for, to live. This is one of her strongest tenets, and Folkmore with its trials that call upon violence will test it and her.
big dom energy ✔︎ flirting ✔︎ kink ✔︎ power bisexual ✔︎ sex ✔︎ switch ✔︎ romance ✔︎ letting go of control ✱ picky ✱ using sex to get what she wants ✱ minors ✘
romance & sex: Mel is comfortable with sex and bodies. She's dominant in bed and prefers to be in control, whether she tops or bottoms. She's experienced, good in bed, and takes action when she wants to. Sometimes there is a combination of sex/romance and personal politics. That's how the world works in her experience. Folkmore less so, but calculation is part of who she is.
body language ✔︎ manipulation ✔︎ social cues ✔︎ mind reading ✱ telepathic messages ✱ mind control ✘
psychic abilities: Mel's magical abilities are not psychic. Instead, her abilities to read people and manipulate them come from being trained to do so her whole life. She has a soft touch. Since she has control issues, I would like to plot any mind reading and telepathic messages first, and I am not interested in mind control plots.
automatically activating armor ✔︎ solar magic ✔︎ enhanced agility ✱ enhanced durability ✱ enhanced speed ✱ enhanced strength ✱ resistance to aging, hostile magic, pain, & sickness ✱
magic: Mel is the Aspect Host of the Sun, and that provides her access to solar magic. Her armor is permanently attached to her skin as gold accents, stylized as jewelry/tattoo/art. It reacts automatically to a threat, flaring up with solar light. The rest of Mel's abilities aren't as developed as they could be. However, she will work on them in game and increase over time.
better than your average human ✔︎
medical information: Mel mostly isn't much different than any human. However, the gold accents are permanently connected to her skin. You cannot cut through them like gold or pry them up. Work around it if you need to.
Content Warnings & Sensitive Subjects
series & background cws ✘ character's sensitive topics ✱
ableism ✘ child neglect/trauma/violence ✘ classism ✘ corruption ✘ dubious consent ✘ drugs (systemic effects) ✘ mental illness ✘ murder ✘ police brutality ✘ politics ✘ ptsd ✘ suicidal ideation ✘
decision paralysis ✱ loss of control ✱ solving problems with violence ✱ war ✱
sensitive subjects: Mel has specifically turned away from her mother's Noxian ways of solving problems with war and more generally violence. She's also seen the effects of people not taking action, whether based off fear of making a specific decision or making any decision at all. Not doing something has consequences. These offend her. Her greatest fear is losing control, and when that happens, she may be most likely to lash out.
