About Me
I’m an adult who has been RPing in WoW-MG since Burning Crusade. I have a strong interest in immersive and collaborative storytelling with character development at its cornerstone. I focus on dark themes with silver linings. My characters often deal with complicated themes, dynamics, and challenges.
Style
I write in the present tense with a novella-esque way of moving the story, balancing multiple characters and NPCs. I prefer 1-2 paragraph emotes and longer scenes ranging from 3-8 hours. I have an appreciation for lore, but I don’t heavily rely on it. I like homebrew inspired by literature, mythology, and music.
Boundaries
I only write with ages 24+.
I refuse to write with anyone using AI slop (images or text).
A Perfect Match
You might enjoy writing with me if you are looking for someone with...
A similiar emote style and length.
An equaled interest in DMing and pulling threads.
A mutual respect for scheduling.
Consistent communication skills, with preference for directness.
A healthy understanding of boundaries.
Honesty and integrity conducive to collaborative writing.
Let's Do This
Awesome. Message me on Discord and let's schedule a time to RP.

Mandolin
Hand crafted from a Blackwald tree with protective runes and thorned vines; this heirloom is dubbed the Lunalyre. In hidden places one can see strange runes which are not like those commonly used. It’s strung with delicate spider webs and close inspection reveals ethereal arachnids living in its hollow. It’s held on her back by a black strap with silver-threaded design of fish and sparrows. The mandolin radiates magic from the Tidemother, but its fabrication originates from fae magic.
Rainstick
Short, made of lightningwood that appears charred and sporadic electricity striking from within. This rainstick is handmade and appears more like a totem than an instrument a professional musician would use.
Compass
Made if magical ice, Esme's compass glows a seafoam green. It's hexagonal shaped. She wears it hanging from her belt along with a blue-gray pearl caged in stormsilver wire.
