i. about. Hello! I'm Wren. I'm a pretty easy-going human who prefers dark tropes, emotional suffering depth in my writing and company that can distinguish fiction from reality.I'm thirty-seven, married and I have a lot of other responsibilities beyond the internet. I might go missing from time to time. Please don't take it personally. Absence is never an indicator of my interest.I'm always DM friendly and I do a lot of writing on Discord. You're more than welcome to drop me a message there as crowbait.
 ii. preferences. I am a long-form writer and prefer slow-burning continuities that tell a character-driven story. While not opposed to candid banter or "tavern RP" between characters, I generally like there to be an underlying sense of purpose to OC interactions.I adhere to a semi-strict sense of realism in my writing that's respectful of the dangers & consequences of character choices. This means observing things like law and order, appropriate social conduct and general common sense in both private and public spaces; ie: don't commit crimes in broad daylight and expect reasonable in-character consequences for being a creep.

iii. will do.

+ friend codes
⤷ Snowcloak is my crime of choice.+ mature themes
⤷ As a rule, this is all-inclusive. Violence, drug use, sexual content, abuse and other nuanced dark topics are not things that I shy away from in my writing. Consent and communication are key, both of which I ask for in abundance to ensure no one is left feeling either of two extremes: censored or uncomfortable.+ horror & gore
⤷ Seneca's hypertuning has spliced him with a voidsent of considerable power. Its influence inspires gross violence and taboo indulgences that should be stomach-turning to average folks. I'm always down to dig into gruesome scenes and enjoy when things get gross.+ reasonable lore bending
⤷ FFXIV plays fast and loose with its lore, and so I'm not a big stickler for making sure we're following a hard set of rules. I trust my writing partners to create responsibly and within reason, and am confident I can do the same. So long as creativity is happening with respect to scale, I'm down for basically whatever.+ dice-rolling and/or freeform combat
⤷ If you have a preference, let me know and I'll be happy to accommodate. Otherwise, I'm partial toward free form decision making in most situations to support a more cohesive, writer-driven narrative rather than leaving it to the will of the dice.

iv. won't do.

- minors
⤷ I will only write with others that are 21+.- shipping & erp
⤷ While Seneca's nature can be outright indecent at times, these behaviors exist for entertainment value only. His heart is spoken for. I am not interested in shipping or erotic scenes.- main character syndrome & god-moding
⤷ I enjoy characters with unique abilities and the occasional anime-scale power fantasy — with the caveat that these traits come hand in hand with equivalent weaknesses. I'm just not interested in characters who are omniscient, untouchable or ten witty one liners in a trench coat and have never bled a day in their lives.- ic to ooc blur
⤷ I'm not Seneca. The decisions, questionable or otherwise, that are made in-character do not represent my own personal opinions, attractions or morality.- hateful content & chat
⤷ Don't be a dick.- pearl clutching
⤷ Pearl clutching is an "exaggerated protest or outrage; a reaction that is more shocked than is actually felt". I'm not a fan of uproarious responses to things that could be better resolved in respectful one-on-one discussions. Assume positive intent, or simply don't engage with content not suited to your tastes.- poor communication
⤷ In general I think it's good practice to over communicate rather than under. I put a lot of effort into my writing, the projects I collaborate on and the way I conduct myself with others online. I expect the same courtesy and investment in return.
