Hello there! I am Winter. I've been on this site for-- HOLY- HAS IT REALLY BEEN THAT LONG? Wow!
Uh! Anyway! I'm a nonbinary person in my 30s. I live in the Central timezone, work from home, and I love to write. I also really like to be friends OOC. I will definitely make a Discord server for OOC chat if you are amenable to that, and it will have a billion channels for inspo pics, character pics, plotting, etc
Now, onto, like... Expectations...
What to expect from me:
+ I do not and will not use photo face claims. I will not play real people— asking me to guarantees I'm blocking you immediately. I exclusively use illustrated face claims of my original characters. I like to play around with AI art generation, so that's what I tend to work with (unless I have a pre-existing commissioned reference of my character). I prefer you do the same or rely on descriptions. Nothing wrong with descriptions.
+ In the same vein? My character is my character. Your character is your character. I will rarely, if ever, try to tell you what character to play or even ask you to change details about them— typically I only do it when asked. I expect the same courtesy. If you want to have complete control over every character in an RP, go sign up for ChatGPT or something lol, damn.
+ I love to write (duh), and when hooked on an RP, I can write a lot. You have no idea. I passed the 150k word mark with a specific long-term partner in less than a month after starting an RP with her. While I'm not asking you to match that volume, I definitely want someone who will get as Enthusiastic about things as me and will reply regularly if we really hit it off. The beginning of an RP is the most critical part for me-- if the plot is good I can get super into it and reply multiple times a day, so if you can match my energy, that would be ideal. That is not to say, however, that I don't want something slower-paced. I just tend to fall in love with RPs in the beginning and just go hog wild, lmao.
+ Re: writing. My average post is like 300-1000+ words.
+ Kind of related to the above, I like to be friends OOC. I will definitely be very very chatty OOC. Please be ready for it.
+ Regarding limits... Most of mine revolve around violence, lmao. If you want more information, just go ahead and check out my O/O's, linked in my signature. Anything that is a 'No', I'm not really down for doing.
+ Regarding 'fetishization'. This has never, personally, bothered me as a NB trans person, and I really feel like the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction lately, toward complete desexualization, which is just as bad in a different way. Why do cis characters get to have all the fun, and I'm left with the boring uwu coffee shop AUs that go nowhere? I won't write an essay here (that's for tumblr), but all of that to say? Yeah. Bring me your gross self-indulgent kink plots. Give me nasty ideas. I love that shit.
+ Kind of related to the above: our world is so bad and scary already lately that I find it unacceptable and exhausting to get on other people's cases regarding imaginary fictional scenarios. That is to say, if you are a member of the feelings yakuza, we won't get along. I know that kinkshaming is against the rules here already, but I just want to like, double say that I am So Over The Discourse. I see it on tumblr and twitter already, I don't wanna deal with it here.
What I expect from you:
I expect you to read the above and decide for yourself if we are compatible, lmao.
In all honesty, I set no expectations for my partners. with regards to age (as long as you are over 18), gender, timezone, whatever. My best friend is completely different from me in every conceivable way, so if that's not a testament to my ability to get along with pretty much anyone, nothing is.
Okay, so, with all of that out of the way, onto my...
Plots and Ideas!
And here is where I tell you that I pulled a dang bait and switch, because really, what I am looking to play right now is a character. His name is Ailbhe, and because I am conscious of how dang big this thread already is, I will put his info behind a spoiler tag.
Ailbhe | "I've been running my whole life. I don't know how to do anything else."
What is one to do when the circumstances of their birth have doomed them?
By all rights, Ailbhe should not exist. In a kinder and more just world, he never would have. Born half-fae in a world where few, if any, things are feared more than the fae by the general populace (and for good reason), he has spent the majority of his life on the run from one place to the next. There is an open bounty on his kind, as there is on all of those who treat with supernatural forces, and upon supernatural creatures themselves.
Where he goes, disaster tends to follow, for he overflows with magic that he has no control over, and it tends to manifest at the worst possible time. Were you to ask any inquisitor or witch-hunter, you would be told that magic is an unstable and unnatural force, often killing human mages who attempt to wield it as retribution for treating with forces beyond their ken. However, supernatural creatures can perform magic almost as a second nature; it comes especially easily to those of the Fae Court, and that is indeed one of the many reasons why their kind is so feared-- and why half-breeds like himself-- containing all of the power but none of the control, and so easily able to blend in in human settlements-- are feared even more.
This character is one I've been tossing around in my head for years. He exists in a dark-fantasy setting where the general public fears and reviles magical creatures and magic users, but none so much as the fae, giving any lands where they are known to congregate a wide berth. For the fae in this setting are not the twee and helpful creatures they have become in popular culture, but instead considered dangerous and cruel, operating by rules that humans are incapable of understanding (see: [The Goblin Market] or really any old folklore that discusses the fae).
And now I tell you that I LIED, because I actually do have plots and ideas, they're all just related to him! I am devious! Mwahahah.
Anyway, here are just a few lil possibilities...
Of course, if you saw him, and you were like "Oh wow, I have an idea/character/etc that could totally fit with him, please DO share. I'd love to hear about it!
Uhhhhhh what else. I didn't specify a gender pairing because he could work with anyone, but I should probably mention that he is trans, so if you're not comfortable with playing against a character like that we won't be compatible, lmao.
And... I think that is it. I hope you have a wonderful evening!

Anyway, here are just a few lil possibilities...
- He could end up running afoul of a witch-hunter (if you want to get Dark™)
- ... Or end up being forced together with one out of Circumstance (he or they are Injured and have to rely on their sworn enemy? IDK?)
- He could meet (and ally) with someone similarly persecuted in this world and they could travel together?
- He could meet an actual Fae for whatever reason and then that could get interesting
Of course, if you saw him, and you were like "Oh wow, I have an idea/character/etc that could totally fit with him, please DO share. I'd love to hear about it!
