Damp. Miserable. An apt place to question what deeds had a person done that had led them to traverse these emperor-forsaken lands. All these and more could be used to describe the humid climes which Cato currently found himself walking through, slapping away the nth biting insect that had tried to suck his succulent blood. On most days, he would have been flattered, flaunted his status even as someone all the ladies would want, but on days like today he dearly wished he wasn't such a snack.

Despite the harrowing situation, Cato was thankful for situations like these. The target was clear, the conditions well established, and the morals firmly in his favor. It wasn't often the Garlean had found himself in such a position (especially as of late), but that made all the better as he felt his aether surge. Hungry flames licked at the edge of his control, desperate to be unleashed on the poor, hapless target which had the misfortune of facing him.

  • I love OOC plotting. For anything more long term and narratively driven, I always like to have a rough draft of where certain arcs should or can go before diving in. I find it tends to make set ups easier and resolutions neater with happier results for the writers (though not necessarily the characters).

  • I love diving into and discussing character motivations, thoughts, and interactions a lot. Writing any RP that allows me to do a deep character study will always win me over, no matter the genre.

  • I have a Discord. If you'd like it, please ask! That being said:
