house of cards A structure or situation in constant danger of collapse. I like the drama >: ) Tracker Hello and welcome! When inspiration hits, here is where I jot down outlines for potential plots and prompts. I love talking development and spitballing ideas, whether or not they're in favor of my characters. I'm always open to it! Before we start, I have a few things to preface. First, I'm far from the most active. Motivation comes and goes so replies may not always be consistent but know that I do try my best! Second, I'm a very laid back writer who isn't limited by many things, like dark or extreme themes involving violence and gore, but that's about as far as the road goes. If you have any questions regarding that, don't hesitate to ask! And lastly, while I have no current plans of killing off any of my characters, with the proper planning I am more than willing to put them in the hot seat for the sake of personal development. That's about it! If any of the ideas below pique your interest or you have your own, don't hesitate to get in touch. I only ask that you don't post here. Feel free to pm me on the site or ping me on discord. Thanks for reading! I hope we can plot together soon. ^^♥

[googlefont=Montserrat:600] MALE // FIVE YEARS // BI-CURIOUS // LONER // BIOGRAPHY the rundownUpon first impression, Arsa may not be someone who stands out too much, sheer size aside. He is quiet, benign, unassuming, respectable, and without a single mean bone in his body. A philanthropist, he strives to promote the prosperity of others, and due to his history as a physician, is inclined to reach out to others whenever possible. He is an emotional glass-half-full kind of man, but not without a hardened and stoic shell. His optimism rarely blockades the frequent depressive waves from rearing in the form of crippling self-doubt or resentment, where he reflects harshly on himself, leading him to drown in negative thoughts. But he is not one to allow these waves have a prominent presence. They are already a burden on himself; the last thing he will do is burden someone else with his baggage, so he stoically shoulders them. Arsa has an interesting past. Despite being an illegitimate child, he was accepted into his pack and spent most of his time in the healing unit where his passion for the craft flourished. Once he was eligible he was employed by the Magister Guild, a traveling syndicate of profound healers and "witch doctors." There he honed his skills and gained real world experience through practical application. However, certain events prompted him to leave, where he set out on his own and met his first love. He saved her life and in return she gave meaning to his. They had a single son, Anemone, who Arsa adored. But the little family separated for their own reasons and a permanent hole remains in his heart where unresolved feelings and guilt festers. Now he has returned to a familiar life of loneliness and filling the gaps by aiding others in their time of need. condition and goalsRight now he is a loner who wanders the land and offers his services, who is in need of interaction. I don't have any plans of putting him in a pack just yet for reasons I want to explore more in the roleplay, but I'd love to start delving into all sides of his character and really get him feeling again, for better or for worse. Now let's get down to business!
✩ FRIENDS Arsa has a warm and inviting nature, kind and watchful eyes, and a heart that, though fragile, can bleed for practically anyone. He forms attachments far too easily and will want to nurture every positive connection he forms. He remembers the small and insignificant details; he's the type to simply sit quietly with someone who is in low spirits to convey that he is there ready to lend his shoulder and ear. Arsa wants to be an ally; someone anyone can rely on even if that means he's a last resort, because his love is unconditional. A WEAPON IN MY HAND Your standard but mutual friendship. If you would like to talk friendship between Arsa and your character, this one is the way to go to at least serve as a starting point! We can always build on this.
DIRE STRAITS Arsa has to apply his herbal and/or anatomical knowledge on a poor, unsuspecting fellow who eats something poisonous or does something stupid and ends up physically hurt. Of course he will want to help out.
LAMENT YOUR SORROWS Arsa is someone who shoulders the burden and his sorrows all on his own but will throw himself at someone else to help ease the weight of their sadness. Maybe someone breaks through that toxic barrier of his and the dam finally comes crashing down.
IT'S JUST YOU AND ME Due to being a loner, Arsa is bound to meet fellow loners. If he were to choose between complete solitude or having a traveling companion, he would definitely choose the latter. Thus he travels with someone, perhaps lives with them as they hunt together and sleep in the same vicinity, providing and looking out for one another.
LATENT CRIMINAL Arsa becomes an accomplice! How unbecoming. Someone asks him for his help to get them out of a sticky situation. They've done something less than good and Arsa, being the pushover considerate person he is, begrudgingly goes against his better judgement to help. How serious you want the situation and consequences to be are your discretion! We can talk the details out.
SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR Arsa often takes others under his protective, doting wing, especially those younger. To his surprise, a certain someone becomes attached to him after some time spent together. They look up to him; they want to learn from him. It's a gentle change of pace for Arsa, for once giving him something to do and something to look forward to. ✩ ENEMIES "Enemy" is a label that is extremely difficult to earn from Arsa, perhaps damn near impossible. Hatred is a strong word — a strong emotion that he can easily negate as a result of his endless kindness, patience, and pacific beliefs. Negative influence has no effect on him because he simply turns to communication and reasoning to ease conflict. As far as he is concerned he is incapable of anger, because he knows there are better means to express these emotions, and that certainly isn't through hateful words or actions. FARTHER AWAY FROM THE SKY Arsa has gotten involved with the wrong crowd and is coerced into using his knowledge for evil. This plot is up for interpretation. I know I want to hurt (scar?) him emotionally, even if he doesn't end up involuntarily hurting someone else. Just the prospect alone will be enough to greatly shake him.
WE'RE JUST THE CAST It was inevitable: someone is using him for their own personal gain. Perhaps they've charmed him and he considers them a friend but they see him as nothing more than a benefactor. Eventually they will end up leaving him, and with his tendency to get attached far too easily, feelings are going to get hurt.
MAYBE IT'S THE LOOK IN YOUR EYES This one can go either way, where someone's dislike for him is mostly baseless and the situations they and Arsa are in are more comical and laid back. OR, things can get serious and someone genuinely dislikes him. I'm interested to see where things can go with this one.
MORE PRECARIOUS, MORE DANGEROUS This one can also go either way! Maybe it started out as something sincere or maybe it was superficial all along, but when the situation takes a turn for the worst, someone who Arsa saw as an ally abandons him to save their own skin. There could be an ambush of NPC wolves, bears, an avalanche, or the place is literally on fire. ✩ LOVERS Arsa is a little more inexperienced with love than someone might expect. He has only ever had one true love so even the most blatant of signs can easily go over his head and be interpreted as a simple act of kindness. He may form attachments easily but romantic attachments take more time and effort to build. It's a lot of commitment that sometimes he feels he is unqualified to give. He will want to put utmost care and attention into his romantic relationships; the feeling of being wanted in such a way is something to be cherished. YOU'RE NOT DANCING ON YOUR OWN Arsa's first (and last) love was a woman so it's safe to say his experience is limited. But he's curious, more than willing to broaden his horizons and explore his interests. He wants to try warming up to love again; to have those little harmless flirts and attractions again — even if they're nothing serious. Yet? If you're interested in a romance plot with Arsa to, say, test the waters, here's the way to go. ;-)
✩ OTHER Mostly random and miscellaneous prompts that will be kept here for inspirational purposes. If any specific ideas strike you while reading through these, I'd love to hear them! - He's never been in a situation where someone was trying to assault him. Maybe something more extreme or threatening happens where he has to make use of his diplomatic and social skills.
- Apprentice/mentor/advice threads. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks but Arsa welcomes constructive criticism and advice. He also loves to give it.
- Adding onto the bullet above, give him a reason to raise his voice. He's never one to do such a thing but he isn't entirely above it. Maybe he scolds or is worried sick over someone.
- Children. He had one son but continues to hang on to an immense amount of guilt for having lost his two other children. As he begins to consider love again the prospect of children will creep back into his mind, whether they are his own or adopted. He will want to raise more before it's too late.
- Flings. Because drama.
