I've posted my genres first to keep you from having to read all the rules to find there is a genre you don't like. However, if you do find a genre you like, PLEASE take the time to read these. I'm will end an rp as soon as it becomes obvious that you didn't read or that you are ignoring my rules. I've been rping for a long time and know what I like, and will only rp with compatible people.

My Personal RP Specifies
- I can play either gender, though sometimes may prefer to play one over the other. For certain genres I'll want to play a male main character, while others I'll want to play female. It all depends really. However, if you are one of the many who only plays female, get out. You obviously are not a developed rper if you "are not good at playing male." If you really weren't good at it, then shouldn't you practice?
- Any pairing works for me; it doesn't really matter, however I'm least often going to want to do MxM. Feel free to ask though.
- I only rp over AIM, MSN, or Yahoo messenger. No exceptions. I've tried rping basically everywhere and dislike everything but messenger. I find that using messengers work best because it allows for the participants to get more from the story since it's a lot more fast-paced.
- I have no limits, however things must be tasteful and not just for the sake of being vulgar.
Rules
1) No God-Moding or Power-Playing - This should be obvious enough, though many people still try. Do NOT ever take control of my character without permission, directly or indirectly. This includes a broad reply of some sort in which you don't allow me to give my character's response/reaction to certain things.
* This does not mean you cannot decide what happens to my character, and same for me with yours. You are allowed to cause my character pain, heartache, happiness, etc. with circumstance (ex: your character can slice mine open or mine can break your character's nose). Things like these do not need permission from the other person, as long as you don't go to far (as in mutilation & killing).
2) No Perfect or Pathetic Characters - Meaning I want depth and realism when it comes to the characters you play, whether or not they are your own OCs or canons from fandoms. Characters should have weaknesses and flaws along with good qualities and skills. No one completely sucks or is brilliant at everything!
Another few things you should avoid when using a character in an rp with me:
- Prostitutes/hookers/whores, anthros/people with animal parts/shape-shifters, characters who are constantly getting hurt/constantly clumsy, insta-healing/super-magical abilities, & way-out-of-the-box characters such as 'mist', monsters, odd creatures. Also, no main character is allowed to be younger than age 18.
*shape-shifting does not include lycans/werewolves as long as the wolf form is more wolf-like than man/anthro-like.
3) Must Be Literate - This does not mean that I am expecting perfection, because we all make mistakes. However, you must have a decent grasp on spelling, grammar, and punctuation. So PLEASE use quotations, commas, periods, etc.
4) Post Length - Length of your replies really doesn't matter to me as long as you give me something to work with. However, constant one-or-two liners is not acceptable. On the flip side, I do not want to read a novel every post, either; this much in one post is unnecessary. As far as an intro goes, a long reply is good, but do NOT tell me your character's life story. I do not want to know things about your character that mine does not know yet!
5) Villains & Antagonists - For a fun rp, these types of characters are essential to add a bit of drama and excitement to the story. However, more often than not, I find myself the one bringing these guys into the picture. To rp with me, you MUST be willing to be bad guys also! You will not be stuck with them all, of course, as I do enjoy playing them (just not all the time!).
* Being a villain does not mean you only go after your own character! Go after mine too! Go after both of them, a town, city, group, etc.
Fandom-Only Rules
6) Must Stay In Character - Though this is pretty self explanatory as well, I feel there is a need to blatantly state it. Do NOT suddenly make a normally strong and confident character wimpy and shy (unless something traumatic within the rp has happened to warrant such a change). This also includes giving characters added family members that they did not originally have, adding some significant happening to their past that effects them now, or anything that changes who the character is at the time your are playing him/her.
7) Playing Just One Is Not Allowed - In a fandom rp, most of the time there will be several characters who will need to be used, whether it be as a main, secondary, or minor (relative to the rp, as we may choose to make actual secondary character be the main ones for us). Because of this, we will both be playing several of them, and may or may not switch out/takes turns with them.
* Main characters may not be swapped back and forth and taken turns with. This also goes for some of the more significant secondary characters who interact often with the main characters.
8) OCs - Original Characters - Do not make characters similar to canons. A few similarities is fine, just don't go copying 90% of someone and sticking it on your character to create a lame duplicate. Also, do not have your OC somehow involved in a main part of the actual plot of where the fandom is coming from. Also, see Rule #2.
