Alright, I feel the need to do this here. After recent problems and encounters, one of which nearly killed my character and a few others, I feel it necessary to lay down the following rules.

1. I roleplay and rollplay both. Yes, I enjoy the noncombative side of RP. It's creative, enlightening, and just altogether fun. I also enjoy using dice for combat and other items - it adds a touch of chance to the encounter. Which, of course, makes it more realistic, at least to me.

2. Sai no longer has an accent, due to a very intense activity in her past. If you want to know where it went, try reading her history.

3. Sai is a warrior. Hard to believe, maybe, but it's true. Therefore, if your character should sneak up behind her, or otherwise try to surprise her, do *not* come whining to me because she's pulled a dagger, punched them, kicked them, or otherwise made an automatic defensive move. It is part of the way that she has been trained. She had a wonderful teacher, and after recent events in her life, that skill is becoming very honed. Your charrie doesn't want to risk becoming a pin cushion? Then have them make some sort of noise.

4. Sai is not interested in random hookups. And this mun is not interested in cybering. Don't like it? Don't talk to me.

5. If you try to perform IM RP with me - which I generally adore - and you start off by taking my character somewhere away from where she is, and sticking her somewhere else, or trying to harm her in any way... you will be ignored. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Do *not* powerplay my character. I will not stand for it. If you plan on interacting with my character, and making any sort of action against her that would leave some form of damage - ie, attempting to cut her hair, cut her skin to scar her, take her as a slave, etc. - unless you have spoken with me, and I've given my consent, such actions will be ignored.

6. Sai is not a slave, she will not be a slave, she has no interest in owning a slave. Do not ask!

Now, having said all that, and feeling like the wicked witch of the east, I want you to know - I'm not actually a mean person. I enjoy RP, I love it when I can get together with others and truly play. I'm young, yes, but I've been playing for a very long time. Sai is one of my near original characters. She started off, being played in varied formats, at age 2, with her two brothers NPCed. I have watched her grow... changing lands and places, but always staying true to herself.

In a sense, yes, I feel like ... I created her, because I did. But I also feel like I put a bit of my soul into her, because it's there. I enjoy her. She is, in many ways, a mirror to myself. I'm glad to share her with whomever would like to interact, but I've had that abused so often, I can't even count the number of times any more. Does it hurt? Yes. Does it make me want to stop playing? Sometimes. Does it ever frustrate me? Oh, yes, it does. Will I let it break me? Not in this life.

If you have any other questions, please, feel free to ask. Like I said, I'm not mean. I like to talk. Just... be polite.
