Illiandi Bondsmiller

He is absolutely a CONSENT character. While bad things can and should happen to him, I prefer people check in with me first to see if 1) it's even possible and 2) the other player is okay with the consequences THEIR character will face for harming mine. I've just run into too many people who seem far too surprised that striking a Noble results in jail-time.

Illiandi is a character I made for a novel, and so his backstory and long history are not only well developed, but well documented. I do a great deal of research for him.

This character can be a very hard-nosed, unlikeable person in the eyes of the more casual RPer, and I’m aware of that. I’m much more lax than he is, both in terms of manners and responsibility. Illiandi also does not like some characters played by people I’ve been friends with OOCly for years. In short, please don't assume that Illiandi disliking your character reflects on you, personally. That being said, I'm often not very good at maintaining a casual chat while I'm also RPing.

Lastly, my character can be wrong and can change his mind! I let him make mistakes in perception if he sees someone doing a random or one-time thing. I also let him gradually come to learn that his first impressions were wrong. It’s not the end of the world if he doesn’t like your character at first. The secret? He tends to like people who do their job and don't break laws. Many an unpleasant, coarse, or dangerous character can be considered recommendable by my character if they can do just that.
