Intro.

Never been good at introducing myself. But, here we go.

I'm Paris. Or Ghost. Either one works. Ghost is a nickname, and has been an alias for a while now. I don't really care which one you want to call me. Anyways, I'm 24, and my pronouns are he/him.

I used to fight in the Battle Subway a lot. So if you remember a guy named "Ghost" from there, that's probably me. That's all over now though, I've been living in Galar for a while now. Still connected to my Unovan roots though. Imagine some braviary sound effects here, I don't fucking know.

If you think you recognize me, firstly no you don't. I keep my face private for a reason. Secondly, don't come up to me if you aren't looking to have a battle. Not gonna force you but I don't like talking to strangers outside of that.

So my horse accidentally posted a video of me getting attacked by my rival's Froslass. So my face is kinda out there now. Don't fucking harass me or shit like that, don't be a weirdo. (and no, this doesnt mean ill be posting more pictures of myself. Don't ask.)

Anyways. Enough about me, here's my team.

I've also got a battler in-training, and 3 rattata that I keep as pets. I might as well give 'em all a graphic here.

FAQ because people in real life keep asking me this:

Q: Cheri looks very pink. Is that normal? A: Yes, he does. It probably is.

Q: Is that a shiny alolan rattata? A: No. Bean is albino.

Q: What's wrong with Grungle? A: Nothing. He's a weird subspecies or hybrid, not sure which yet. Either way, he's REALLY FUCKING BLUE NOW, HOLY SHIT. He's safe though- it's not dangerous.

Dunno what else to say here. My main interests are battling, so if you have any questions about that, feel free to ask me. I'm not an actual EXPERT on it or anything, but it's whatever.

Hello! This is the OOC part of the introduction! I follow from @act11as, and ooc posts will be tagged as such, and will usually have the color green. I don't always do this, as it can be grating to look at after a while.

My rotomblr "hub" account is @battle-subway-aftershow!

Muse is an adult, mod is a minor. Don't be weird, or I'll screenshot your ask and make fun of you with my friends. Into the hall of shame with you.

(Weird: NSFW/Suggestive asks, fetish mining, etc. Do not fucking do these.)

Additionally: If your main is NSFW, please do not follow me. I will block you for my own comfort.

ALL TRIGGER WARNINGS WILL BE TAGGED AS "[word] tw"! This is to make it easier to blacklist things! if I ever miss something or you need me to tag something in specific, shoot me an ask or a dm! I'll try to remember.

Guidelines/Rules I guess?

*ALMOST ANY kind of Pokemon Irl blog can interact! Eeby deebies, sapient pokemon, evil teams, whatever! I cannot guarantee that Paris will be nice to you, (ESPECIALLY an evil team) or believe you.

*Self-Insert fallers, please do not interact. I personally cannot handle these kinds of blogs. Self-insert ocs are fine, but the idea of a real person on rotomblr being isekaid into Pokémon is not.

IN CHARACTER anon hate is perfectly fine! Be an asshole to Paris! Keep in mind that I won't always respond to these however, especially if they go too far in my eyes.

PARIS CAN AND WILL BE AN UNRELIABLE NARRATOR! He doesn't know all the details, he can be wrong, he can flat out lie. Just something to keep in mind!

Extra:

Mystery Gifts are now open! And Preferred! Feel free to go crazy with this ^^

Pelipper Mail, un-mail, and Malice are always open! Feel free to torment this guy whenever you so please. (links go to the source posts for all 3 lol)

Musharna mail, (sending dreams) and Musharna malice (sending nightmares) are always on! Once again feel free to torment this guy.

Magic anons are usually off, unless I specifically specify otherwise!

Organizational tags:

#[nickname] the [pokemon] - Most posts about Paris' pokemon should be tagged like this.

#mind's eye - Usually ask games- these are not things Paris would actually say out loud, at least in the way the post says it, to a degree! Consider these semi-canon in nature. Feel free to press him outside of ask games, if you see something interesting though ^^

#Paris used Sleep Talk - a bit of a mixed bag, posts made by Paris either when he’s tired, falling asleep, or actually asleep. Usually angst but can be memes as well. Mixed bag like I said

#rival tag - Tag for posts mentioning/about Paris' rival, also known as @/subzeroiceshard

#mylah tag - Tag used for @/tinkatinktrain- Paris' friend.

#sprite tag - Tag used for @/thatfailedpokemontrainer- similar situation to the above.

#frosty tag - Tag used for @/frosty-sneasel!

#bluebird anon/bluebird tag - Tag used for @/blu3b1rdsss!

#beedrill tag - Tag used for @/a-nickits-den!

#shilo tag - Tag for @/shilo-sumac!

Previous arcs/Lore:

#A Frosty Reception / #A Frosty Reception 2.0 - Takeovers of one of Paris' childhood friends. done twice because I kept getting sick :(

#Gone Fishing Arc - Paris fucked off into the woods and almost never returned! Good look into his character. (warnings for pokemon attacks, injury, and frostbite)

#Kicked to Kanto - Smaller thing, what it says on the tin.

#Team Fauna - Inconsistently tagged, but should have the vital bits in the general area? (Check "Cult tw" if otherwise). Paris goes undercover in a cult to save his friends. This does not have consequences whatsoever (obviously, warning for cults.)

#The Unraveling arc - Post Team Fauna- Something strange is going on with Paris' reality... It seems to be falling apart! Unraveling, even! (Warnings for horror, body horror, and unreality)

#Greyed Walls Event - The aftermath of Unraveling. Our Paris is missing, and a curious foxlike entity has gotten involved... (Askblog-style event- this is an AU of Paris, set in a post-apocalyptic world!) (Mild warning on top of the obvious apocalypse for horror and talks about injury + amputation!)

And finally, for music enjoyers- Here's his playlist! NOW ON YOUTUBE TOO BECAUSE FUCK SPOTIFY!

Mobile Rules

General

Thank you for coming to my rules page! I'd appreciate it if you could read over these to prevent future misunderstandings.

This is a Dragon Age multimuse blog. The characters here are either canons or ocs based in the Dragon Age universe. I do rp crossover with characters outside the universe, but probably won't be making many AUs. My main blog is a Solas rp blog (theharellan) and I am more active there!

Here are some basics!

mostly canon, semi-canon divergent

independent, semi-selective

mutuals only

21+, not open to smut

shipping status varies by muse

tags triggers

Interaction

i am selective

Since this is my less active blog, I'll only be roleplaying with mutuals. I don't practise character exclusivity, however, and will roleplay with multiples of a single canon or variations of a PC. At best, I have default Inquisitors I'll fall back on when we need one and mains.

Thora - default Inquisitor for Tetrak

Vivienne - default Inquisitor Ruth (Divine verse especially)

Bruno, Adelaide, Vher, and Peace - default to my Solas (found at theharellan)

Some characters require plotting to write with, either due to their nature or verses.

Cole - requires plotting before any threads so no wrong assumptions are made about portrayal

Peace - requires plotting before any threads for the same reasons as Cole

Bruno, Adelaide - require plotting due to being Agents of Fen'Harel and therefore aligned against most characters

on shipping

I do practise ship exclusivity. I will only ship with one version of a character, and will list them here. I don't expect people to be reciprocal in this regard, it's for my own comfort.

Shipping Availability:

Thora: multi-ship (all genders)

Merrill: multi-ship (all genders)               ✦ Bethany Hawke (hopewrought)               ✦ Lyna Mahariel (ghilannainguideme)

Vivienne: multi-ship (all genders)              ✦ Maxima Aurum (mercysought)

Cole: no ships

Gorim Saelac: single ship               ✦ Tamar Aeducan (paragoninexile)

Lord Woolsley: absolutely not

Tetrak Cadash: multi-ship (men only)

Sylvi Cadash: no ships

Ruth Trevelyan: multi-ship

Bruno: selective ship (all genders)

Adelaide: single ship (women only)

Peace: single ship               ✦ Love (spiritualjourneys)

Vher: single ship               ✦ Miraen (ancientimpudence - qpp)

on following

This blog is not follow-for-follow. I like to keep my dash relatively slow moving. As mentioned, I do try to keep the opportunity for non-mutuals to roleplay with me or chat.

As for unfollowing (or soft blocking) I won't usually explain why, usually it's one of these couple reasons:

Inactivity (the main one tbh - if I see you're back I'll refollow!)

Offensive material (homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, etc)

Untagged Negativity / Vagueblogging (it makes me anxious)

Untagged character hate (especially Solas or Merrill hate)

As one final note on following: I don't send in passwords. I promise I read your rules before initiating interaction.

on memes

Please don't use me as a meme resource! If it's an IC meme and requires interaction, I absolutely don't expect reblog karma. However, consistently reblogging memes that require no IC interaction w/o sending me anything will result in a soft block. Also, if you do send me something I'll check to see if I can send you something in return.on messaging meI will not roleplay using Tumblr's IM system and prefer not to roleplay on IM platforms (Discord, etc) period. Feel free to message me OOC, it's open regardless of whether or not I follow you. I may take a while to get back, so if it's urgent please contact me on theharellan as I check that dash more often.

My Discord is also available for mutuals. Just shoot me a Tumblr IM or ask and I'd be happy to provide it!Threadsplease be patientRoleplaying is a hobby, please respect that.

Before you message me asking about replies please check here for a list of threads here. If you're not there, please message me and let me know! I'd appreciate it, I like to keep it updated.

i'm open to any format.

Banter, para, multi-para, novella are all possible. I prefer to reserve longer threads for plotted or intense interactions, and shorter threads for more casual roleplays b/c otherwise there's way too much navel gazing. Shorter threads are also much more likely to get timely replies.

I don't format beyond small text, and will roleplay with you regardless of whether you do or don't format yourself. I will use icons for some characters and not for others, so I will obviously rp whether or not you use icons.

Tagging

common triggers on this blog

This blog regularly features themes of fantasy racism, self-harm, and mental health issues. All themes present in the Dragon Age series will also likely appear here at some point, even if it's OOC discussion. These will be tagged when referenced.

my tagging policies

I track the tag #ourdawncomes

I tag general triggers and will tag others upon request. My format is: #(trigger)+tw. For example a blood trigger warning would be: #blood tw.

For threads/writing where Merrill's blood magic is referenced or written about I will tag "#blood magic tw" and/or "#self harm tw" if self-harm occurs or is referenced.

I will also tag content warnings for things that include, for example, character death (like so: #character death cw).

I will not tag the word "queer" as "#q slur". I am uncomfortable with tagging a word I use to describe myself as a slur, among other reasons. If the word makes you uncomfortable, you can put "*queer" into Tumblr Savior and it will blacklist posts containing the word. Or simply don't follow, whichever makes you feel most comfortable.

NSFW is a rarity on this blog. When I do write or reblog something even vaguely NSFW it will be tagged #( nsfw )

For a full list of the tags I use often on this blog, please refer to this page navigation.

For my comfort, please tag...

007 Headcanons: Alternative Careers

Sometimes…not often, but sometimes…James Bond wonders what might have been and who he’d be if he wasn’t a spy and assassin.

1.      Bartender: After Bond got shot in Turkey and while he pretended to enjoy death, he found something soothing about the little dive bar on the beach. It wasn’t much more than a shack, but he quite liked it. The bartender was an older man who’d seen some shit, and taken one look at Bond and seemed to know what he needed: a glass of cheap whiskey and a scorpion. It seemed an extraordinary gift. If Bond had still possessed his soul, he might have felt something akin to awe at the man’s ability to read a patron and give them the solace they required, even if it came in the form of liquor and a stroppy arachnid. Perhaps if he’d stayed he’d have hired on. The scorpion was kind of cool, really.

 2.      Admiral: Standing on the deck of a naval cruiser for the first time in almost a decade felt like coming home. Never mind that he was hitching a ride as the ship repositioned back to England. He watched the sun climb higher in the sky, the petty crewmen go about their duties, and smelled the damp sea air. If MI6 hadn’t come calling, he wondered how far he’d be up on the chain of command by now. If he’d settled down yet. In any case, it was all in the past. For the moment he was enjoying his time back in uniform (seriously, how Q managed that on short notice Bond will probably never know, but he does intend to show up in Q-Branch to let the boffin admire his handiwork up close and personal).

 3.      Chef: Bond liked food. If it wasn’t for his rigorous training regimens and the fact that whenever he was on downtime the instructors ran him through the physical ringer to keep his body to perfection, he’d probably weigh twice as much. But liking food and developing a palate meant that mediocre food was a particular torture. In fact, bad food was the reason he hoped he never ended up in prison. And his increasing intolerance for bad food passed off as good because of the price tag got him blacklisted from several establishments around Europe. In the end, it made sense that he’d learn to make his own. It came in handy when he had to pose as a pastry chef in Italy. If that job took a little bit longer than it should have, well, he couldn’t very well serve substandard tiramisu, could he? When he gave his notice, a week after the mission ended and M was threatening to cut him off, Bond’s not entirely sure who was sorrier—him, the restaurant owner, or the hostesses.

 4.      Tailor: “Are you sure about this lapel?” Bond asks his tailor. Both men spend quality time staring into Bond’s mirrored reflection pensively. “It feels very 1970s, and there are things about that decade which should be left there. These lapels being one,” he continues. The tailor, an old man who’s been making Bond’s suits since his first shopping expedition on Savile Row after…her…clicks his tongue in agreement and re-measures. “Are you sure you don’t want to be my apprentice, Mr. Sterling?” he asks. “I think you’d be splendid.” Bond hums noncommittally, stares into his own eyes and wonders, what if.

 5.      Author: “You live the life most Hollywood and novel writers would dream about,” Q says through Bond’s earpiece during a quiet moment while Bond is in Brussels. The smooth tones sound resigned but fond. “When you retire you could always write a series of ridiculous spy adventures with maniacal villains who monologue their evil plans while dangling the promiscuous but magically STI-free hero over pools of sharks.” Bond snickered back, wondering if he should feel offended, but then…what if, what if, when you retire. You know, he thinks to his own surprise, that might work out.

 6.      University professor: Getting older is a bitch, Bond thinks. One day you’re 39 with perfect vision, and the next day you’re 40 and squinting at tiny words on a page. It’s not bad enough to affect his aim or require corrective surgery, but after a few self-induced migraines Bond breaks down and buys reading glasses in secret. He gets away with it too, until Q drops by his office unexpectedly one day and catches Bond reading various intelligence briefings. The boffin overlord just kind of…makes a sound like a dying whale and goes into full shut-down mode. Q.exe crashes and reboots and Bond is wondering if the guy is having a seizure when Q recovers himself. He’s beet red, and says, “You just remind me of an old, uh, uni professor of mine. From back in the day.” Q clears his throat, sounding a little strangled, and gestures at Bond. “The…glasses, and papers.” Blinking rapidly, the boffin disappears without telling Bond why he came to begin with. A week later, a new identity arrives for Bond to replace one that’s been compromised. Bond lifts an eyebrow at Dr. James Stratton, professor of military history. Well, then. He always did like history.

 7.      Archaeologist: When he was a kid Bond was enamored with the Indiana Jones movies. They were exciting, flash, and featured an attractive hero who was brave and always got the girl—as well as a few femme fatales along the way. He read every book he could find in his school library about digging up ancient cultures—Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Mayan, Celtic—and loved natural history museums with their shards of pottery and fossils. The whole thing just seemed to have a sheen of romance to it. So when an assignment came up that would require him to work on an active archaeological site in Iceland, Bond all but threw himself in the way of that assignment, certain that this was the moment he’d been waiting for all his life. No way in hell would he let 003 take his away Bond’s chance to be Indiana Jones. (Moneypenny laughed until she cried for 10 minutes straight when she divined the reason for Bond’s enthusiasm. “Everything about you makes so much sense now,” she said.)
