About Me
Hi! I'm Doug, lover of all things pirate, fantasy, and dorky. I am a goofy goober at heart, and will never not make a joke, probably at the worst possible times too. I have been roleplaying both long-form & short for nearly over a decade. I am an author in my spare time, along with fitness and riding my motorcycle! I look forward to writing with you all! Also...
001 1) First and foremost. IC is NOT OOC. I have experienced far too much bleed from people regarding some characters, to the point a disclaimer is now necessary. I am NOT my character, nor do I share their thoughts and opinions. While some of my characters are villainous with many terrible qualities, Doug is not. I actually like people, and enjoy making them laugh. 002 While I very much enjoy in-character drama; I cannot stand it OOCly, in fact I have a zero tolerance policy for drama and absolutely refuse to deal with it. While I do not mind getting to know people and making all sorts of new friends, I do not want to be involved in your drama. 003 If you play a character that is a self-insert or a Mary/Gary Sue (flawless), Godlike, or otherwise grossly lore-breaking OC; Let me save you the trouble and flat out tell you; I am not interested in writing with you. If that is your preferred taste of roleplay, more power too you. But I myself am a very avid "Actions have consequences"/"Dash of realism & Character flaws" style of roleplayer. Thus, my OC's will not mesh well with your power-fantasy. Sorry in advance :) 004 When it comes to roleplay, I greatly prefer a well written story-driven roleplay over ERP; while I am not against ERP, know that I will always prioritize story over an ERP hookup or a one-off. Also on the note of ERP; consent is the biggest thing of all. Discussing boundaries is always a positive thing. The same goes for kinks! Do not force your kinks upon me and make sure to discuss them with me beforehand.
005 As a writer, i enjoy seeking out the following things below in terms of roleplay;
- Long-term Roleplay Connections.
- I adore dark-themed roleplay as much as I do whimsical and wholesome roleplay. However, I always find it best to communicate and make a game-plan of what we as writers are comfortable with.
- Schemes to undertake; If you need a villain to cause mayhem and chaos for a plot-line or
Alternatively;
Cases to work; If you need a Lawman to act as the antagonist in your crime-themed plot-line, please reach out, i enjoy playing both the good guy!- Allies & Enemies! I am always looking for new allies and enemies for my characters! After all, there is no shortage of colorful characters within Eorzea. 006 In regards to roleplay I am open to both In-Game and Discord; though my preference is In-game. I have been known to write very fast, and sizeable posts. For this I apologize in advance. That being said, I do not want anyone to feel pressured to match me post for post or as quickly; i am a patient person, and would rather write an amazing story with you than rushed roleplay! However in terms of discord roleplay, please do not harass me for responses; we all have a life outside of the game or discord. Being polite and courteous go a LONG way.
007 Character perma-death: I AM okay with character deaths, however i will NOT condone it upon a whim. While I do not mind killing off my OC's or others OC's for the sake of story; it is not something I generally strive for. There must be a clear and distinct OOC communication with this. 008 While I am absolutely on-board with dark-themed roleplay, I always find it best to communicate and make a game-plan of what we as writers are comfortable with.
For the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy 14, I am a user of horse-crimes (Mare), and to see the full effect of my characters I suggest swapping horse (mare) codes. I also truly enjoy seeing what people make with their characters and the creativity people put into them! 009 It is very much possible to reach me outside of FFXIV; all you simply need to do is either ask for my discord or find it blow, I'm very much enjoy and making new friends inside and outside of roleplay! I'm an extrovert so i love people! So don't be shy about reaching out and speaking to me, I try to always respond in a timely manner!
