I'm open to multiple threads with one person! If we've got plot ideas, let's do it! I'll generally use minimal formatting. I don't expect you to follow my formatting, but don't expect me to follow yours if it's super stylized. PLEASE DO NOT USE SUPER TINY TEXT. I'm old I can't read that shit. [small] is fine, but not double-small. Most threads will be paragraph/novel format or multi-para. I will generally be mutuals-only, but I will look at your blog if you follow me.
Memes & Asks
Meme me up, Scotty! If I reblog a meme, I want memes!! I'll try to send at least one to you if I reblog from you! Memes are open to everyone, regardless of mutual status, but I may not respond to all of them, it is up to my discretion. I love ask memes being turned into threads, just please do so in a separate post, don't reblog the ask.
Godmodding/Power Play
Godmodding won't be tolerated. I do understand that as my character has a lot of abilities, he can often run the risk of god-modding. I will do my best to ensure this never happens. Talk to me OOC if you think he's doing too much. The only time I'll allow any sort of this is if it's a fight and I know the person I'm playing against well. I'm protective of my children(a grown man who is older than me is my child shush), and don't let others take control unless I know I can trust them. I will also ask before I do anything big in any thread we may have. If you want to have your character have prior knowledge, I’m super happy to talk about it OOC and figure out a relationship!
Shipping
Shipping will always and forever be based on C H E M I S T R Y. If he likes the person, he likes them, and they may become a ship. If he doesn't, he will let you know. He may sleep around, but having sex does not necessarily mean he will be in a relationship with your character. Open to poly ships as well.
Right now the only exclusive I have is in-canon universe with This Xiang. I will not play romantically against other Xiangs, but other than that, X is free game
Verses
Added as they come. Main verse will remain untagged, and there may be a clickable link in here once I actually get a Full Verses Page set up. I'm okay with multiple threads with the same character(s) being in the same verse, and if there needs to be a different verse for whatever reason, I will tag it as such. I'll default to my main-verse unless there's something that makes that unfeasible. I love AUs but unless there's a reason, each character will probably be in their own verse.
Plotting
Always up to plot! Inbox/PM me and we can talk. DON’T force me into plots/ships/etc that don’t flow well. I’m up for trying just about anything, but if it doesn’t seem to work, please don’t try to force it. I am a hugely nice person but I don’t take kindly to being forced into something. DO push boundaries with my character. Make him uncomfortable! Just don’t force things or bring any sort of drama from OOC into IC.
AUs & Crossovers
Definitely always up for that. I don't know that I'll know your character's verse off the top of my head, but I'm willing to learn, and htis can be talked about OOC
Follow Backs
Don't expect me to follow you back just because you followed me. I am selective with who I play with. I’ll make some open starters for everyone, but I may not reply to all the responses I get. I reserve the right to follow back or not. If you follow me, rest assured, I WILL look at your blog. If I like you/your character, I'll follow you. I do not roleplay with multi-muse blogs. It confuses me too much, I'm sorry!
NSFW & Triggers
This blog will be rife with NSFW and trigger-related things. I will try to tag all the big ones with "trigger tw" or "trigger cw". Violence, murder, sex, and possible torture will happen on this blog, but I will never post photos of gore. Please tag gore for me. I will not roleplay sexual situations with anyone or anyone's character who is under 18 years of age. Period, end of. DO tell me if you want me to tag for anything. I am empathetic to triggers and don’t want to make our pretendy funtimes anything but fun.
The Mun
I'm Erick, I'm an old damn man, but I love roleplaying. I'm very friendly so please don't hesitate to message me!! Mutuals are welcome to my skype, I'm on it a lot! feel free to message me! I love talking OOC, for plotting or just for fun chats! I love making new friends on both sides of the RPing world :3 Just be aware that I have a more than full time job (50+ hours/week), and this is my escape from that, but sometimes I have other things I need to attend to. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can, I promise. Sometimes I do forget! Feel free to poke me about a thread, but don’t poke me repeatedly, that will make me want to reply less. DO know that I’m not intimidating even if I seem it(I’ve gotten that a lot). I’m a big teddy bear, I don’t bite!!
DO communicate with me. Need me to do something? Want to drop a thread? Going on a hiatus? Want to shower me with praise? Just message me! Keep me in the loop, please! I’ve had lots of experiences with people just disappearing, and I consider every RPer I play with to be a friend. I don’t like friends just disappearing, I am fine with people having real life things happen, but just keep the communication lines open, okay? Don’t be afraid to tell me anything.

✖ Caged Animal During one of Xander's late-night thrill-seeking endeavours, he ended up on the wrong side of a werewolf, who left him bloodied in a ditch. Too bad for the wolf, he was too stubborn to die. He's been a wolf himself for a few years now, and he's been able to keep it from most of the rest of the X team, but it presents a whole new set of problems for him.
✖ Space Scoundrel A Bounty Hunter and all-around rebel, he does odd jobs for the Rebellion(or the Resistance, as this is just a catch-all SW verse), especially if it means ruining the days of a few Imperial pilots or Stormtroopers, and it's a bonus if it involves stunt flying or dangerous situations. He's force sensitive, which mainly comes out in being able to make himself unnoticed, all but invisible if he wants to be, and his favorite trick is the "these aren't the droids" thing...but with himself. It's how he gets out scot-free so often.
✖ Bang Zoom Pow! Catch-all Marvel/DC verse. Xander is human, but he does have enhanced abilities (Think like Captain America). He ages, but slower. Aging and healing are about 1/2 as slow as Cap's. Has high level perception that can be considered low-level telepathy, as he notices things not just on sight, but on reading the vibrations in the air, the vibes in the room/space from the people. Xander's a rogue who doesn't really fight for anyone, but will step in if someone innocent's about to get hurt. He prefers to stay out of the limelight, but SHIELD is aware of him, and have contracted him from time to time to assist in jobs.
✖ One Hell of a Trick Catch-all magical universe. In this verse, Xander’s human, but he knows of the existence of magic, and makes friends with some magical people for various reasons–but the fact that their powers/abilities are useful to him’s definitely a big bonus.
✖ The Thin Red Yarn: Sentinel AU. Xander is an unknown Guide, he had to learn how to block the world out by himself, and he’d gone almost forty years without finding his Sentinel. Now that he has, they face the world together, bonded closer than he ever thought possible. (Currently semi-exclusive with aforceofchange)
✖ Justice Sparks in his Veins: Witch Hunter AU. Xander is the distant descendant of Kaulder, the ‘last’ Witch Hunter, and bears a nearly identical face. He is not tied to the Council as Kaulder was, and has a slightly different outlook on magic than they. He thinks it should be harnessed to make the world a better place, not kept from humans for selfish needs. He inherited his ancestor’s immortality after a brush with magic, and was saved by a mysterious witch. Now, he does his best to keep the world safe and deals with the doppelganger whispers. (PM me to plot!)
✖ The Good Old Days: catch-all young verse. Usually Xander is around age 19 and just beginning to break out in the extreme sports and tricks scene.
✖ Gadgets to get the badguysPerson of Interest verse. Xander, as a former NSA asset and continual badass Robin Hood-type, Xander ends up running into Harold, John and the crew in New York more than once. He's a secondary asset to The Machine and its cause.

BIOGRAPHY
Everyone knows the name Xander Cage, he made those guys on Jackass look like, well...Jackasses. Xander Cage (or simply referred to as X by his friends.) is a rebellious thrill-seeker with a notorious reputation. After destroying a senate's corvette he was employed by the NSA as an undercover agent with the mission of infiltrating a terrorist organization referred to as Anarchy 99 he reluctantly accepted his assignment to avoid imprisonment for his crimes.
He was supposedly killed off after his initial assignment and was replaced, although he was later found alive and well, having lived in a self-imposed exile in Dominican Republic.
Being re-recruited for the xXx program, he ended up becoming persona non grata amongst all the United States security organizations, particularly the NSA and the CIA. He's in hiding, now, doing what he can to get by and continue helping people out, with a little thrill-seeking whenever he can get it.
“My Father often muses that if only if the people who have access to the information were as interested in protecting it, as they as they are in profiting from it, the world would be a much better place. But I’m not here to discuss changing the w o r l d with you… that’s not my remit.” It wasn’t often The Machine was taken by surprise, and her lips quirk up into a smile at the feel of it. “The appearance of ‘the suit’ shouldn’t matter at all… but I’m afraid I’m not one. I’m merely a… concernedthird party.”
Mac, predicting his concern had come prepared pulling out a file from her bag and offers it to him, “You like your p r i v a c y Mr. Cage and I appreciate and respect that. so If you decide not to aid me in helping this person. You won’t see me or hear the name Thornhill again.”
She had a point, and she surprised him with having such a unique viewpoint. Or her father, whoever. It was a good viewpoint, one he could almost get behind. “No?” Xander wasn’t disappointed, but when suits usually approached him, it was because they wanted him to try and stop some bad dude who wanted to fuck up the world. “Third party, okay, sure.” He supposed he was a third party, if he was honest with himself, and he squared his shoulders before reaching out for the folder, starting to flip through it.
It was filled with information, both on the person it seemed she wanted him to help, and the forces behind them causing them pain. Xander took note of the name Thornhill, see if he could get Talon to look her up or something, when this was over with. He didn’t usually expect anything in return for doing the Right Thing, but he also didn’t work without a good reason. “Okay, save me the trouble of breaking all this information down. What do you want me to do?” He wasn’t agreeing…yet. Not til he heard the terms, at least.
A small smile fleets across her features before disappearing, if he’d have blinked he would have missed it. The Machine analyses what she said, perhaps she hadn’t explained herself properly. She worked on information, had lived off it in the past. “Humans make their own choices, Mr Cage,” Mac states, with a momentary glance up to meet his gaze, “What we do with the information is not the informations fault.”
“Case in point- I have some information that someones going to be in a lot of trouble. I need someone with your skills, and your devil may care attitude, to help stop that from happening.”
He caught it. He didn’t smile back. “If the information didn’t exist, people couldn’t use it to line their pockets at the expense of the working class. Information’s generated by someone, they’ve always got a reason for it. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes–most times–it isn’t.” The world, and its information, was generated by those who held power in their hands, power over other people, over the little guy. Xander liked to pilfer their pockets and level the playing field, turn the world on the track of becoming a better place.
There it was, the point she was skirting around. “I don’t work for suits,” he said simply, “even pretty ones like yourself.” She hadn’t specified what sort of someone was going to be in trouble, and if it was some bigwig, he didn’t give a flying shit.
Xander looked at her for a moment, “That’s just not true. People have ideas to topple governments, or break the world in a way it can’t recover from. That’s not a good idea. That eats at your mind, having a bad idea like that, it infects people’s minds, people who share the ideas, until we’ve got another Nazi party on our hands. Information can harm people in ways weapons couldn’t even dream of.”
