Kalli's Laws and Limits

[Vincent Meian]

PLAYER WANTS

What is your plotting philosophy?

I like to have a mix of both spontaneity and planning, and pretty much go with the flow of whatever my partner is doing (unless it's my plot, in which I have it planned to a T). I can plan something down to a science, or I can be on the fly. It really all depends on what my partner is looking for and where they want things to go.


What types of plots are you interested in playing?

I like all sorts of plots, though I particularly love training threads. I can't get enough of them. I also like plots with a good conversational dynamic, whether it's just talking about nothing in particular or something deep and close to the heart. Comedy is ALWAYS appreciated, though keeping it limited in serious threads is also requested.


What types of plots are you not interested in playing?

I really have little interest in romance plots of any kind outside AUs, as all my romances tend to be planned very carefully. Those are the one thing that I won't do spontaneously, though I can and will discuss all sorts of ideas. I may have a lot of crackships, but my in-character romances (be they flings or long-term) are always carefully planned.


How often can you reply to any given thread?

I try and reply once a week to any given thread, though I do get swamped and lose muse occasionally. I will also go on hiatus at the drop of a hat due to work or child concerns, but I will try to keep that to a minimum. If I am not notified on the board of a thread, it can also take me a while to hunt it down, so please keep that in mind.


What is the longest you're willing to wait for a reply to a thread?

Pfft. I can wait months for a reply. I'll let people know when I reply, and give them a nudge a week or two later if I have some strong muse on the subject, but I try not to pester. Especially when I consistently owe other tags and starters.


Are you open to RPing over instant messengers? If so, what's the best way to contact you and what times are you generally available?

I can RP over messenger, and the best way is through Chatango. Any time I'm online, I'm on Chatango PMs. If you wanted another place to RP off-board, I have an AIM and I love writing in Google Docs. My AIM is linked to my phone (so I'm effectively on all the time unless it dies), and I have a Drive app on my phone for quick reading when I'm away from my computer.

As a general rule as well, if it's between 11pm and 7am Pacific Standard Time (PST), I'm probably asleep. Sometimes I have insomnia, but don't count on it. Other than that, if I'm online, it's fair game.


Are you open to post volleying?

I love volleying, but only if I'm in the mood. If I had a hard time posting the last tag I did, chances are that I'm not up for another one just yet. But if I let you know that you have a tag and can get excited enough for it, I'll tell you. Most days, I'm good for it - just check with me first.


Anything else?

PLEASE PESTER ME. If I miss something and haven't posted in a week, I would LOVE to hear from you! Please remind me, especially after hiatuses, because my lists on whom I owe tags to are not always up-to-date.

PLAYER LIMITS

What are you limits regarding powerplay/godmoding?

I can handle godmodding and powergaming to an extent. Combat threads are one place I absolutely will not appreciate it, as I do try my very best not to do so myself. If you have a question on how fast someone would react to something, PLEASE PM ME. We can talk and plan, but if something is just 'done', I feel like I'm being boxed in and may ask you to change it to something more open.

As a side note, characters making an assumption about my characters are TOTALLY okay. People can easily misconstrue even the most blatant of actions and innocuous of phrases, and I don't mind roleplaying that out. Or even having characters act clueless or surprised about the assumption. That is totally fine by me.


What are your limits in regards to romantic situations?

I am the last person to complain about age differences between characters when acting on romance (I married someone 14.5 years older than me, after all). However, my request with that is that both parties be of a similar age if below 18. Other than that, feel free to have a 20 year age gap - I can work it if the personalities mesh.

Romance with my characters is pretty straightforward - I tend to avoid it. I don't mind soft fluffy things or friendships, but in general I'm not looking for romance on this site. It's way more drama than I want to deal with most days. That being said, if certain romance plots are played out in detail, and certain points agreed upon between me and the other player, then I can be open to a relationship on-site.

AUs are a different sort of animal, though, and I will often suggest a crack pairing that may or may not turn into a life of its own. So long as there is no character breaking (i.e. personality/moral conflicts), I can be pretty flexible in an AU.


What are your limits in regards to sex (within the TOS)?

On site, I prefer not to talk about my characters' sex lives. Mostly, this is because a lot of my babies are private people or find sex to be an uncomfortable topic of conversation. OOC, I can talk about pretty much anything - their particular kinks/fetishes, attractions, sexualities, even preferred positions or status (if they're into 'scenes'). But on the board, that stays under lock and key unless there's a plot reason to let it out.

I also prefer not to write sex scenes on site, which is good because that complies with ToS. In an off-board AU, however, I can write sex fairly easily, so long as my partner and I both know what to expect. Scenes like that are organic and mutable, and in general I like them to flow with as much natural grace as possible. If something feels off, I will let you know, and if I feel like something breaks character, I will let you know. Otherwise, hit me up.

As a brief side note, being asked to write sex scenes between characters is hard. I only know exactly how my characters will act and react, so writing other people into it is difficult. If you want a sex RP, I need to have consistent communication and feedback. Hence why I love Google Docs.


What are your limits in regards to violent scenes (within the TOS)?

Violence does not give me a queasy stomach, though gratuitous violence does irk me a little. There are other ways of proving a character's physically aggressive nature other than having them beat the tar out of someone every other thread.

If you want a violent thread with me, I have very little qualms on the subject. Just don't break character, and make sure to ask my permission. And remember - I keep a VERY close eye on how long it takes people to heal after the fact and will apply damage to my characters as needed for that. If I'm going to be half crippled for a month after pulling a groin muscle (coughVINCENTcough), then you should still have bruises in a week and a half from a full-force hit.


What are your limits in regards to abuse/rape in plots?

Having played them before and finding a certain realistic character value to them, I don't mind playing rape/abuse plots. Again, just don't break character - I currently have NO characters that would engage actively in a rape or in child abuse, even under the influence of alcohol. I do not object to being a victim in certain cases either, just remember that there WILL be consequences. I take these issues very very seriously and will play them out as realistically as possible.

Also, if you want a 'knight-in-shining-armor' character to butt in for any reason, I have that down. Just be sure to discuss that with any other partner you have, because depending on the character involved... it may get gruesome. (coughcoughVINCENTcough... Must be something stuck in my throat.)


Anything else?

If I hadn't made it clear, NO BREAKING CHARACTER. Other than that, please be appeased. xD See you all on the board!
