    MMLmySi.png WwYrjSO.png Ll70GJn.png     		BASIC INFORMATION

    Name: Val Toreth.

    Sex/Gender: Male.

    Age: 27 years, when youthful indiscretion no longer suffices as a valid excuse.

    Species: Ostensibly human. Unusual taste in body mods.

    Occupation: Scribe. Scholar. Self-employed?

    Demeanour: A jovial dervish, never quite sincere.

    PHYSICAL

    Facial Features: A boyish face lined with age and set sharp about the jaw, with a toothy grin and wide, laughing eyes that crinkle at the corners into faint fans. Two whimsical licks of black ink decorate his cheekbones.

    Height: 6'2"

    Weight: ~210 lbs

    Physique: Lean and wiry.

    Wardrobe: Garish; characterized by loud colours, patterned silks, bespoke tailoring.

    Hair: Fluffy, pale blond curls, cropped at his ear. Rapturously soft to touch.

    Eyes: Gold, with catlike pupils that contract into slits in the presence of light.

    Voice & Speech: A drawling tenor with an irreverent inflection, bordering on obnoxious.

    Scent: Incense, opium, and iron gall ink, with the cinnamon inklings of designer cologne.

    PSYCHOSOCIAL

    Personality: Brazen, jovial, avid, curious, foolish. Indulgent and indulging: magnanimous with both himself and others. Fiendishly unreliable, and prone to biting off more than he can chew.

    Sexual Orientation: Indiscriminate.

    Likes: Books, novelty, mystery, sensory overload, loose-limbed opium-induced torpor, gaudy entertainments, bespoke tailoring, the shocking red of raw meat, secrets (and those who can't keep one).

    Dislikes: Limitations, self-restraint, magic of any variety, cruelty, pain, gaucherie, stinginess, polemics, endings and closure.

    RULES & BOUNDARIES:
    ▲
    It's all fun and games here, but let's lay down some quick rules to make sure things are fun for everyone.

    • I am not my character. I know, I know; my username—I haphazardly landed on this name when I signed up, so please don't read too much into anything that would result in conflating IC and OOC.
    • Please communicate your boundaries and respect mine. Clear communication and mutual respect means we can focus on storytelling and having a grand ol' time, without worrying about making the other person feel uncomfortable. It's glorious.
    • I may be slow to respond. Often I'll be multitasking and working on something or other that I can't put away, so please have patience. If we're mid-scene, I'll let you know if it happens so you aren't left hanging.
    • I enjoy both free-form and dice-adjudicated gameplay. If you're interested in switch-GMing/running reciprocal games for one another's characters, definitely hit me up. In free-form roleplay, I'll occasionally roll dice to determine the outcome of my character's actions.
    • I'm not interested in explicitly erotic RP for the purpose of getting off. Nor am I any good at it. If it doesn't advance plot or character development in some meaningful way, let's agree to fade erotic scenes to black.
