General Opt-Out

latroma here. Over the years, I have made several mistakes in my conduct towards other players. Though I have tried in more recent years to improve myself and to increase my self awareness, the reality is that there will always be valid reason for some players to be uncomfortable RPing with me. I have kink preferences that are not comfortable for all players, and I include content at times in my threads that not everyone wishes to experience. And, as I said, some people have a specific and valid reason not to want contact with me.

Ergo - I try to always have an Opt-Out post up when I app into a new game, either separately or as part of my permissions. I try to keep all opt-outs private unless I need to inform CR or the mods of potential discomfort for someone else. Nobody should ever feel pressured to play opposite me or anyone else. If, for any reason whatsoever, you do not wish to RP with me, be contacted by me, or you simply wish to request "not this character" or "not that content" feel free to reply to this post. All posts are screened and I maintain a master list of all opt-outs in games I enter that I update whenever new characters are app'd in, so as to avoid contacting someone who'd rather not hear from me.

Please, feel free to reply and if it is your wish that we not be in contact, I will do everything I can to make sure that happens.

「 Terezi Pyrope 」

My Opt-Out: here
Age: 7.38 Sweeps (Roughly 16 Years Old - As of Game Start, June 2019)
Sex/Gender: Hermaphrodite/Female Identifying (Troll biology is weird. She/Her is appropriate.)
Sexual Preference: Bisexual, but kind of on a break from romance and burned out thanks to a certain clown.

Backtagging?: Yes
Threadjacking?: Yes
Fourthwalling?: Yes

Typing Quirk Warnings: See Below - Short version: Her typing quirk is OPT IN.

Troll Specific Warnings: Trolls are not humans and should not be treated as such. Theirs is a hyper-violent caste society with disparate biology between different bloodlines of trolls that are the center of their caste system. They are xenophobic at times, murderously violent at others and have extremely strange ways of behaving towards themselves and other races by human standards. Their romance and procreative systems are insanely convoluted and polyamorous (involving four separate kinds of relationships), and they don't adhere to human norms in most senses of the word, though most of Terezi's fellows are fascinated by human culture to one extent or another.

Regardless of the moments that Troll society mirrors humans, don't expect Terezi to adhere to what most humans would consider 'normal,' or 'ethical' behavior. She may, or may not, and will behave far more like an alien species than the human girl she bears a passing similarity to in term of appearance.

The Licking Thing: What? Oh, right, Terezi licks things. On that subject, she won't be licking characters unless you specifically ask for it. Have an Opt-In on the subject. Otherwise, she'll just be licking things sometimes. Because she's weird.

Requested Warnings: None, I am almost impossible to squick or offend in RP. If I have a concern, I'll contact you politely.
Flirting with Terezi: Sure, it can be hilarious and awful. Terezi is a frequently flirtatious (in her mind) character, even if it doesn't actually go anywhere. Be aware that if she flirts back this may include plots that involve bodily harm to your character. It's been known to happen.
Kissing Terezi: Maybe. And this could get your character hurt, possibly even if she likes (or hates) them.
Sex with Terezi:
- Memes - if I'm in a smut meme, yes. TW for age applies.
- Asgard Genesis - Handwaved: If it's appropriate, possibly yes. Don't bank on it. Played Out in Game: I'm not really planning to go down this rabbit hole again at this time. I'm not 100% opposed to it, but I have no plans to do it. (If we do: Trigger warnings for age apply until she's 18 around Oct 1, 2020, the scene has to be under an adult cut, and both players must be OOC adults.)

Seriously folks, I've been down the fandom rabbit hole of cross-canon intimate relationships involving trolls and the OOC headaches it induces for both players enough for ten lifetimes. This one'd be a hard sell.
Power Use on Terezi: Yes, but please contact me if it affects or reads her mind first.
Injuring Terezi: Sure. She bleeds a teal-colored blood. Contact me first for grievous/permanent injury however and I will do the same for your character.
Death: Death is a reality of the Asgard Genesis/Asgard Eventide setting, and trolls are violent, so I am potentially ok with plotting this out. However, I'm not really planning on having Terezi kill or be killed unless there's a good storyline reason. So, please contact me first.
Safeword: Red or Banana, sent in the header of a Private Message, Private Plurk or Reply, serve as an "All Stop" in a scene (regardless of whether it is a NSFW scene or not.)

Send me that message and I will pause the scene, and we can verify what is wrong, avoid it in the future and stop the scene completely (even ret-conning/deleting the scene if you prefer) if necessary.

Kink List: Generally N/A (Contact me first if we're in a meme or you have some need of this.)

Asgard Genesis is a non-adult, basically PG-13 game. In the previous incarnation (Asgard Eventide), I played out a fairly large amount of R-Rated material. While I am not opposed to R rated content, I am not really looking for that specifically in this game.

Specific Canon-Point Note (SPOILERS)

Right, so to be clear on "Which Terezi" this is, I am taking her from [S] Terezi: Remem8er. This is the "Doomed Timeline" Terezi who gives John Egbert detailed instructions on her blindfold how to use her memories to go back in time and 'Fix' her mistakes, leading to a far more positive possible ending, the ending which is the final conclusion at the Credits of the storyline.

This Terezi, however, helps initiate the saving of the storyline knowing that she is still doomed and bleeding out. She dies seconds after giving John the method of saving them all, scrawls a chalk outline on the ground, tosses him a last thumbs up, grins and falls into the outline, where she bleeds out and dies before his eyes. her ghost rises up later (as seen in a vision by the victorious 'main canon' Terezi) and reunites with her old friend, the woman she killed because of Gamzee's manipulations, Vriska Serket. The two ghosts hold hands, smile at the memories and just kind of watch as reality cracks and crumbles before their eyes, relatively at peace with their situation.

This Terezi has every reason to suspect that her plan worked, that the timeline is fixed and that none of that will save her, and she basically doesn't give a shit. She's made peace with that, as has Vriska finally. Their reality is dying, and she's waiting out its last moments of existence, basically ok with it all. Let the others fix this shit. She's done.

This means there's a few specific notes on this version of Terezi:
Age: She's basicaly 7.38-7.67 Sweeps, between 16 and 17 human years old. For simplicity's sake (and because I'm beyond tired of having arguments over troll ages at various canon points), I will be going with 16 years old with a birthday of Oct 1, since she's Libra.
Health Status: Dead, ghost in a dream bubble about to be eradicated from existence as paradox space cracks and crumbles
Eyes: Pure White, no sclera. She is not blind, but chooses often to wear a blindfold and 'see' by her sense of smell.
Romantic Situation: None. Fuck Gamzee, and she doesn't really have time left to explore anything with her old friend Vriska. Romance has been nothing but trouble for her.
Maturity Level: This is arguably the most mature that we ever see Terezi in the canon source material. The "True Canon" version never goes through a lot of the shitty decision making she went through, is never screwed around with by others nearly as much and actually struggles to find her own way because she doesn't go through the character development that (Terezi) in the doomed timeline goes through. This version is at peace with herself, her abilities, accepts her failures (and boy there are a few), borders on apologetic about the worst of them and has forgiven most people who have wronged her (except Gamzee. Fuck that guy.). She neither wishes to die, nor is she afraid of it any longer. She's finally had a reunion with the one person who wronged her almost as much as Gamzee and who she wronged in turn almost as much, and the two are sharing a moment of forgiveness while they watch reality just die. It's a canon point that has Terezi in a different mindset than most versions of the character.

God Houses:
Mimir - A student of the mind and culture, Mimir's quest to make society work meshes well with Terezi's obsession with justice and law (and with it the philosophy of law), the implementation of culture. As a Seer of Mind, she is focused upon strategy, and tasked to find ways through seeing the ways that people's minds work together to guide her teammates to their ultimate potential.
Odin - The study of law is one of the higher forms of modern education, and if Terezi needs anything in her obsession, it is the pursuit of a far more thorough understanding of justice. A Seer must be thorough, must know all angles and if Terezi has a flaw as a seer, it is the tunnel vision with which she views things. Once she makes an assumption, she follows it to the bitter end regardless of the consequences and ultimately had to have someone else go back in time to change how she viewed things. Broadening her wisdom can only help her.

Personality:
-The first thing most people ever see about Terezi is her mad, shark-like smile and the ease with which she cackles at most things, even when not appropriate. She is always more than a little manic, even when she is at her worst. She is almost always seen smiling, her fanged grin taking on just the slightest sinister edge. It is, to an extent, the front that she operates with on most days, a front she presents in unpredictable ways outside of that frenetic energy. She can be civil, playful, teasing, aggressive, dismissive, derisive and/or downright insulting, depending on who she is talking to. She likes to change this outward behavior so that she can use variable treatment to confuse people and keep them on edge (such as how she attempts to manipulate both Rose and John through her helpful treatment to one and her false and mocking tone with the other.) This outer exterior, constantly teasing, mocking and cackling at the confusion that she causes appears to have little reason other than her own amusement. She just kind of likes to see people squirm and prefers to make it hard to gauge her real intentions or motives.

-It is dangerous to assume that her mind games are entirely safe. She has been known to both flirt and taunt people with extremely violent acts, once threatening to cut John's throat upon meeting him just so that she can smell him as he dies, seemingly as a joke. It can be extremely hard to tell just how serious she is at any given time, considering the fact that in her earlier FLARPing days, she performed very violent, retributive acts and participated in the culling of other trolls. Her blackrom (hateship) relationship with Gamzee took a noticeably violent turn even by troll standards towards the end, and while the manipulation of Gamzee and others had a hand in this, she has been shown to have a very violent streak. She keeps it in check, however, sticking to arguably playful mind games rather than actually hurting people most days, possibly because of the potential consequences of her actions being undesirable to her. She's usually all talk, but it can be unwise to assume that's all she is.

-She has a curious fascination with colors, stemming from the loss of her sight at the hands of Vriska. She spent a bit over a sweep (3 years, give or take), 'seeing' by smelling and tasting the colors of the world around her. Most of her interactions are colored by her constant sniffing of others, and the way in which she reacts to those colors she considers more 'delicious' than others. While blind, she was able to even read text using smell and taste. A lot of her interpersonal interactions tend to be phrased in the way that they are because of the 'smell' of another person's colors. She is particularly obsessed with the color red, with countless examples of stealing red things or chasing after them, from the red of Karkat's blood to the red of Jade's shoes. When her sight was regained with Aranea Serket's help, she nevertheless maintained this synesthesia. Despite being unable to actually 'see' through smelling colors, she still seemed to maintain that smells and tastes coincided with their colors. Inevitably, it became obvious that she preferred to view the world this way, putting a blindfold on when she went "clown hunting" so that the world was how she was used to experiencing it, as tastes and sounds associated with color (That and bright lights could be painful for trolls).

-One of her biggest obsessions is law. Underneath the giggles, bad jokes, mind games and jokes there is a cold, determined side to her that is focused on its hunt for what she perceives to be wrongdoers. She obsesses over the implementation of law and justice, the killing of the wicked and the protection of the innocent. Her earlier forays into this were fraught with the vicious and unfortunate consequences of callously and unempathically killing in the name of justice and necessity. These killings were fraught with problems, as her judgment was frequently compromised and the facts altered by others before she saw them. (That, and honestly using stuffed animals as her assistants in investigations didn't speak well to her methods). Foremost among these was the regret that she felt over killing Vriska, an act she felt was necessary (but only believed this because of Gamzee's manipulations). Her near-sighted approach to law and absolute justice caused hurt that she didn't wish, which brought her a great deal of regret. However, she did not then give up on the pursuit of justice at any point. She could still be cold and calculating about it, but she endeavored in her last days to try and be more careful in the performance of her self-proclaimed 'duties,' wanting to make sure that the one punished was who needed to be punished. One can see her continued devotion to her perception of justice in her putting on the blindfold, not only wanting to smell the world instead of seeing it but because her self identity was tied up in justice (specifically blind justice, ala Lady Justice.).

-Regret is one of the emotions that far fewer people see in Terezi. She only shows her doubts and her regrets to the people that are most important to her, the very scant few that she feels she can trust, like Karkat, Vriska (for a time), Dave and ultimately John (though he might be in part because he's all that she has left.). She doubts her skills, doubts her powers, doubts how much her friends care about her, doubts her decisions, doubts her self worth, doubts pretty much everything. She regrets many of her kills because of her poor judgment in the past. Gamzee, when the mind control was off of her begged her to stop attacking him because he was hurting her and she simply stopped. She is consumed by regrets, fumbling and unsure about her relationships and everything she has ever done. At her worst, she can plunge herself into complete isolation and soporific stupors, consuming vast quantities of sugary drinks with an effect akin to an alcoholic binge for her species, unwilling to fully address her problems for years. She feels, as she tells John, that she has little business telling others how to fix their lives since her own is so mortally fucked up and instead ultimately sends him back to fix the past by fixing her mistakes.

-In the wake of her final success and handing off the reigns of their world's salvation to John Egbert, Terezi is more at peace with her mistakes. Though this peace is only a very recent development, it is as if a great weight has been lifted from her shoulders. She acknowledges that not only is she about to die and will never live to see John's success, but that she was always doomed to die and that hers is a doomed timeline, and she is ok with it. She is ok with the fact that her reality will simply cease to be. Paradox Space will shatter and fragment around her and she will stop existing at some point, and she accepts this, because she has finally proven that she actually does have it in her, even if the doubts overwhelm her a lot of the time. She embraces her own nature, flawed as it is, and dies in a small way on her own terms (predicting how she will fall to her death with a chalk outline right in front of John).

-Romance and relationships were always a rocky thing, even by troll standards, for Terezi. Her experiences in her youth with Vriska (where Vris betrayed Terezi, Aradia and Tavros in the midst of their games and led to the death of Aradia, the crippling of Tavros and the blinding of Terezi, losing her own eye in the process) irrevocably damaged her ability to trust others. Additionally, it stole away from Terezi one of the most precious things she'd ever had, her only true friend at the time. Though she sought others that she could trust and found them to some extent in Karkat, she was betrayed again by Gamzee and she found herself making poor judgment call after poor judgment call when it came to love and hate. Her relationship with Dave at least avoided betrayal, but didn't fare a whole lot better in the luck category, when her choice of seeing Gamzee in a blackrom at the same time led to the end of the relationship. It may not have helped that sometimes she seemed to choose romantic partners for surface reasons (both of her redrom relationships were with people who were strongly associated with the color red, the color that always drove her to distraction.). She relied upon her outer shell of a personality, perpetually grinning, always laughing, mocking, teasing and changing her mercurial nature with everyone, to keep her from being betrayed again, but all the while it left her lonely, away from her best friends and yearning for things to be back the way that they were. She still found romance and close relationships intensely amusing in others, but her own life was filled with broken friendships, broken hearts and ruined trust, a scorched earth she helped to create.

Writing Sample:
1) One w/ Rhys
2) Two w/ Dave
3) Three w/ Rose
