ㅤ  rule 001  ㅤ : Don't Touch - IC
Never, under any circumstances, touch the collar or ring he wears on his left hand. These are deeply personal items he wears in proud dedication to his mate, and it is not only invasive, but it will piss him off.ㅤ  rule 002  ㅤ : No is a Compete Setence - IC
Lyo is a committed relationship and will refuse any advances on himself or his partners. He is deeply averse to unwanted affection/attention, and will react negatively, especially if he has said no already. Any further advances after the first no will be considered assault.ㅤ  rule 003  ㅤ : Content Warning - IC
Lyo's life thus far has been a series of tragedies and unfortunate events. Mature themes including, but not limited to rape/sexual assault, kidnapping, physical and emotional abuse, infant and sibling death, PTSD, and alcoholism are all a part of his story. Interacting with him is at an individual's discretion, and I will not be held liable for other's reactions to this content. My writing and characters have teeth and bleed, and Lyo is no exception.ㅤ  rule 004  ㅤ : Do I Know You? - IC
Unless it has been discussed and mutually agreed upon, do not approach Lyo with his history or any other details a stranger would not be privy to. It's important to me to build relationships up organically over time with real experiences, be they good or bad. Approaching with sensitive information off the cuff is a bad look.

ㅤ  rule 005  ㅤ : Staunch the Blood - OOC
I have hard boundaries between IC and OOC. Just because Lyo may say something harsh IC does not mean I feel that way about you, the player, OOC. We are roleplaying, and regardless of emotional investment, it has no bearing on the real world.ㅤ  rule 006  ㅤ : Keep It Simple - OOC
I'm fine becoming friends and learning about the personal lives of my RP partners. However, for the first few scenes, let's keep it to the story. Please do not ask me personal information until we've built rapport, or I provide it willingly.ㅤ  rule 007  ㅤ : Let's Talk - OOC
If you're RP-ing with Lyo, you're going to be 21+, and I expect both myself and my RP partners to act our age. Much with staunching the blood, if there is something Lyo does that makes you or your character uncomfortable, please address it with me either IC or OOC. I keep lines of communication open for this reason.ㅤ  rule 008  ㅤ : Patience, Please - OOC
I am disabled, work full-time, and have a life outside of RP. I try to respond within 24-72 hours, but sometimes things come up (flare-ups, real life, etc.) and I am unable to do so. In the event this occurs, I will communicate clearly and respond as soon as I am able.

I spend more time on Discord than in-game, however, I prefer to meet in-game first before jumping straight to discord.
