Welcome to Gaia! ::

IC

Name: Vaulter
Age: Two and forty.
Gender: Male.
Sexuality: Eh? This seems a vulgar term to me.
Species: Human.
Any Children?: No.
About Me: To describe myself... there is not much, these days, I suppose. I am a widower, a former knight, and at present, simply a man. These lands are strange to me, and I can only think that mage banished me here... though where is "here," I am entirely uncertain. There is much that I am unfamiliar with, though I have grown accustomed to some of the advancements of this world.

I come from a place far removed from this, though I have adapted to be able to well function with this society's technology, I prefer the simple, and that which I can manipulate with my own hands.

Ah... I am unused to discussing myself. I suppose if there is anything in particular that needs to be known, I will do my best to answer it.

Hobbies: You mean, those things that fill my time? I enjoy reading, though I am rather slow at it. This form itself has taken me a fair bit of time to fill out, as I am slow with writing as well. Ah... walks in the outdoors, though it seems there are much less outdoors in this place than I am used to. Smithing, which I previously held as my occupation after my days as a knight, but that seems to have fallen by the wayside here.

Talents: I am skilled with a sword.

Looking For: I suppose this is meant in a romantic sense.

I am not, necessarily, looking for romance... I would be content with a companion, someone to spend my days and eves with, discuss any manner of topics, simply be with. In this respect, I would be more inclined to find a man of similar intentions - it is appropriate to use a matchmaking service for this, is it not?

I must warn that I am vastly approaching the end of my days, though I am told by healers here that I am, actually, quite capable of living twice as long as I have or more. This is fascinating to me, but in the event that it should prove false, I would hope that anyone who seeks my companionship would not be entirely devastated by my passing. I do not wish to leave anyone in grief, which is another reason I would prefer to find a soul mate rather than a romantic partner..

Other I do not know what is mean to be put here.

Player: Derivative
About Me: I am faaaantaaastic! ♥

Uh, but also bad at talking about myself. :c Just ask me questions if there's anything you want to know? I'm very friendly. I sometimes get busy with RL and go aaaaaaaah at it, but usually I can make time for RPs and plotting. I'm very interested in developing relationships realistically and with troubles and misunderstandings, but am also a terrible fan of the wonderfluffies - and Vaulter is the kind of man who will inspire a lot of cute and awkward moments, just because he's Vaulter.

I'm twenty, presently working and attending college, and something of a ditz most of the time.

Likes/Dislikes (IN RP): Romance! Action! Adventure! Mystery!

I like it all. c: In realistic doses, anyway. With me, just about anything goes, as long as there's good communication. I'm willing to try out almost any plot or idea, as long as my character is respected and you understand that things aren't going to go "just as planned" necessarily. Oftentimes, my muses take matters into their own hands and run away with a scene.

I don't like the usual things - mary sues, gary stus, unrealistic relationships. OH. I'm leaning toward finding a man for Vaulter, but I must say, I absolutely hate the typical seme/uke stereotypes that the yaoi community endorses. Sorry. If it's in a character's personality to be whiny and sobby and clingy, fine, but if you're doing it just for the sake of having a strong man type / weak man type in a relationship, I want to pull my hair out and scream. So, for everyone's sake, please just try to tackle a relationship with Vaulter the same way you would any other relationship - it'll only confuse him to see a man acting like a woman, anyway, as he's a bit of a sexist old guy. xD

Style: Uh... Third person, past tense... heavy on writing out reactions and feelings rather than actual setting descriptions and stuff. I also have a thing for voices and expressions, so they get more love than other aspects of my writing.

Availability: I pretty much check Gaia every day. c: PMing works too, because it sends a text to my phone and lets me know I need to check my inbox when I get on next.

What I want for the character: While I wouldn't be against finding another woman for Vaulter, he's a very stubborn, set-in-his ways character in this respect, and believes that his wife was the only woman he could ever love. Thus, he's looking more for a dude to pal around with, and I'm looking for a man to show him that you can fall in love again, and it doesn't have to tarnish the love you held for someone else. A woman could do this as well, but he'd be much more open to forming a strong bond with a man, and from there, he's a big old softie, so it wouldn't be hard for him to fall in love without even realizing it.

As for what type of person, someone capable and kind, but hopefully someone who forces reactions out of him. I don't want him to be fighting all the time, but he's so polite and gentlemanly, I'd like to see that chipped away to get to the Vaulter underneath. Most of all, someone who will help him understand that he isn't entirely worthless without his kingdom, that he won't be left behind in this new world, and that he is capable and deserving of love again - be it with a man or woman.

Other: Um. Be gentle with him? c:
