OUT-OF-CHARACTER
BACKTAG—
Yes! I am a slow tagger. Sometimes I am simply not feeling it or I'm drawn away by real-life responsibilities. I welcome and encourage backtagging from my writing partners as well, if that's what they need or prefer.

FOURTHWALL—
Typically no, with the exception of Deadpool, though I prefer Klaus not be told he is fictional.

THREAD-HOPPING—
Yes, in a game setting!

CANON COMPLIANCE—
I play Klaus up-to-date with canon and generally am able to play from all series and canon points. I'm more comfortable with season five of The Originals, as I greatly enjoy how his character developed to that point, but am always up for earlier shenanigans. Please excuse any rust.

CONTACT—
Please PM this journal.

IN-CHARACTER
PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS—
Yes, yes, yes. Please bring me all your Mikaelsons and all your The Vampire Diaries-universe characters. I am interested in all CR, but I have a particular soft spot for family and found family. Marcel, Hope, and other Legacies kids are very welcome. Please always take me back to the start with The Vampire Diaries CR as well. The Originals characters, of course, are strongly encouraged. I am very interested in both positive and negative CR from canon and crosscanon, however it organically evolves.

PHYSICAL AFFECTION—
Yes, with caveats. Klaus is not a physically affectionate person with the exception of family, and even then. However, your character is free to demonstrate affection to him physically — just know, depending on how he regards them, he might pull away and let them down.

ROMANCE/SEX—
Yes. I'm open to romantic and/or sexual CR. I play Klaus with a preference for women but open to any and all experiences — he is over a thousand, and there are character relationships, I believe, that imply a deeper interest in some members of the same sex. However, while casual sex is not out of the question, I prefer to have a mutual interest agreed upon or played out first, as Klaus does too, based on his canon relationships. For romance, much more connection and trust is required, which is not an easy thing for Klaus to reciprocate. Klaus also has a history of abusing those he loves, so most relationships will feature him being who he is as a person. Please note that even if I don't ship a pairing, I am always still interested in platonic CR, and will not disregard any romantic/sexual connection or borderline moments they might have had in canon. Those exist! I am just not interested in pursuing them further. YES, I SHIP IT: Camille, Caroline, Aurora (pre-Camille), Rebekah (memes/psls only), Elijah (memes/psls only), maybe Stefan, maybe Lucien (pre-season 3), cross-canon characters. NO, I DON'T: Hayley (though I don't think casual sex is out of the question, in some scenarios), Genevieve, Marcel, Katherine, Elena.

VIOLENCE—
Yes! Klaus can withstand most attacks, physically and mentally, and he is very difficult to kill. I am open to discuss any fights and excited to write them. Please note that Klaus does not suffer attacks without recompense, and usually to the umpteenth degree. He is a self-described warrior and king: if you go after him, he will go after you, and he will be merciless to your character and, of course, with discussion, perhaps their loved ones.

DEATH—
Typically no, but I am open to it in plotting.
