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.
“i’m just tired, you know? i’m just fucking tired.”
“You want me to knock you out for a few hours, I can do that.” It wouldn’t be hard, especially not here in the Mill House. There were a few things that would make her unconscious for however long she felt she needed. Xander’d just have to find them first.
“Honey, he’s an ACTOR.” And a pretty big guy as well, honestly, but that didn’t mean that Xander wouldn’t crush him, she’d seen Xander in action. “ — We have to go – You can find someone else to fight later ….”
“So? Him bein’ an actor doesn’t mean I don’t have to honor the challenge. I don’t run, Liv.” He was already pulling out his sword, holding it like he didn’t know how to use it–oh, he did–and pointed it at the ‘knight’. “You go on, follow the map, I’ll be right there.” She wasn’t gonna get Xander to leave without fighting him.
Xander had worn a sword to a Ren Faire, of course someone was going to challenge him to a duel, because that’s what these people who went to Ren Faire did. “Liv, he challenged me. I’m beating his ass to the ground.”
“ —- blaming anything on the old gods seems like a bad idea ….” Besides, she’s sure the tablet probably came in handy for SOMEONE, somewhere along the line. She still thought that it would probably have been best to label something like that, but whatever. Her throat clears as she watches him, eyebrows furrowing as he scurries off like an overly-excited toddler. It’s endearing in a way she can’t quite describe. That doesn’t mean she understands where he’s headed. Regardless, she follows after a moment, watching him in silence before she reaches out to take the other end of the horn. Weird. All of it was weird. “ —- What is this?”
“There’s a difference between saying ‘oh it was probably that god’s fault’ and saying it to their face, though.” Xander was honestly having the time of his life. There were so many cool things in this cabin, and so much power. He could almost literally feel it buzzing around him. Now that they were both touching it, he could hear her, and she could hear him. “Horn of Silence. Touching it, it’s like the cone of silence, but if you blow it on someone, they’re silenced for…well, I’m not sure exactly how long. I’ve never gotten to touch it before.” This could go on for hours, he hadn’t even left the first, main room yet.
“You make it sound like this is a hostage situation.” She laughed, leaning her head back to glance up at him. “Hey, what’s wrong with learning on the fly? I can get my powers under control at the same time they do. Perfect plan.” Not really, honestly, which was why her hands were all the way behind her back now, at least for the moment. “Aw, c’mon, that’s just unfair.” Although, she’d take note of the symbol, for the next time she walked by. Seemed like a good thing to have in the memory banks.
Xander, being the sarcastic shit he was, held his hands up in surrender like she had a gun on him. “I’m just sayin’.” His eyes were already roaming for something else cool to touch. “I’ve never had kids, but that sounds like a really fucking bad idea, Liv,” he laughed, “I didn’t make the thing, blame it on the old gods or some– oh my God.” He’d heard about this big horn before, made a beeline for it. “Watch this, I ju–” when he put his hand on the horn, he went silent, still talking like normal, but…no sound, and he motioned for her to take the other end of the horn like a kid trying to get their mom to play with them.
“That would be helpful.” John was doing his best, he seemed to know what everything was. But John was only around half the time, and that left her to her own devices, which was …. generally unfortunate. Blinking quickly when he tugs at her, she freezes, hands pulling up immediately. “ —– I dunno, I was starting to think more psychics might be a good idea. Could be cute —–” She doesn’t mean that, kids definitely weren’t in the plan, but hey. That was good to know. “Who leaves something like that around without labeling it?”
“If you’re gonna lock me in here while you visit your mom, it’s the least i could do,” he chuckled. She wasn’t locking him anywhere, and he didn’t have to stay at the cabin if he didn’t want to, but who in their right mind would leave when there was all this stuff? “More psychics is a great idea, sure, but get your own powers and shit under control before makin’ them,” a smile on his face, “Someone who doesn’t have to worry about it affecting them. See that symbol?” Xander pointed to a specific one, “Long story short, I can touch it no problem, you…problem.”
“I know enough to get by.” She shrugged, smirking as he wandered the cabin. Honestly, she really only knew the items she’d been explicitly told NOT to touch, but she was slowly starting to take stock in her head. “Jasper didn’t leave a list, so ….”
Of course he didn’t do the decent thing and make a list. “I could probably take stock, make part of a list at least.” Hell, even Xander didn’t know everything in here, most likely. Kaulder could have told them everything, but it wasn’t like he had his ancestor on speed dial. He hadn’t heard about that sword, either. As she moved by him, he yanked her away from a tablet, “You should…probably not ever touch that if you don’t want kids,” he pointed, “Tablet of Fertility.”
“Just don’t say I didn’t warn you.” She winks, slouching back into the couch. “I’m serious though, half the stuff in here bites back, so just … be careful.”
He might have been a little like a kid in a candy store…full of stuff that could kill him. Giving her a mock-salute, Xander, eyes wide, started strolling around. “You don’t know what half this shit is, do you?” Not a mean question, just an honest one.
“I’d love to get her off my back for awhile. But I don’t wanna put you through that either. Figured you could just hang out at my dads place. She doesn’t know it’s out there anyway. And there’s plenty to explore, so ….” She shrugged, winking at him as she headed for the door. “I appreciate you taking some of the guns out though. Just in case. It’s not really a good look.” Laughing lightly, she turned to glance at him over her shoulder as she fished through her bag for the keys to lock her apartment up. “See, you SAY that, but every time a body-snatchers movie comes out, no one realizes anything’s wrong til way through the first act, so I might not even know until it was too late.”
He shrugged, acting all nonchalant about it, “If you want, I can handle it. I’ve had worse than a Southern mother interrogating me.” Xander had had literal demons and witches trying to get him to talk, and Southern moms were pretty scary, but they weren’t demons. He’d already started to head for his car and start picking which guns could be left behind, starting a mental list. “You know what the body snatchers always get wrong with me, though?” He said like he’d been possessed before. Well. He had, that was a different topic, though, “They get how crazy I am wrong, make me cautious, make me boring. And they don’t know how any of my tatts work.” Plopping himself in the driver’s seat and his shit in the back, he grins, maybe revs the engine a little. “Let’s stop off at mine and then get some burgers and make tracks.”
