Upon first glance, this young woman, with her slender, finely tuned physique appears outwardly in the prime of her life. The longer one observes her deteriorating posture and uncouth apathy towards life's infinite wonders, however, this impression begins to crack at the seams.

The expected youthful exuberance of this woman has long since faded in spite of no more than two decades of life, slowly approaching the third, replaced by a jaded, dry wit far beyond her years.

Flickers of a once disciplined mind and the measured movements of a perfectionistic career soldier grow increasingly overshadowed by lengthy fits of solemnity and destructive introspection. Only the body that belongs on a battlefield she has not seen for years remains, as though a stubbornly maintained vestige of a life once rife with purpose and direction. Now, perhaps this strict physical regimen served as a ritual of self-flagellation, or a flicker of hope for redemption.

Once, in a not so distant past, this woman may very well have been capable of exquisite feats of martial lethality and marvelous spectacle. But now? She seems to have lost the appetite for it all, replaced by a near-perpetual attraction towards casual self destruction in the form of drink and smoke, as if to drown out the even the faintest whisper of her own inner voice. Her seeming penchant for seedier locales perhaps served as the most damning indication of a woman caught in a perpetual cycle of self-imposed penance.

What crucible stole her youth, she seems exceptionally tight-lipped about, guarding the specters behind her eyes like precious children, though whether out of guilt, distrust, or nihilism is beyond the scope of casual scrutiny.

What spark could hope to set those once vibrant eyes alight once more? Perhaps she is too far gone, just another lost soul washed ashore for the crows to pick apart what remains. And yet, she is still here. Perhaps sheer, stubborn spite is its own winding path towards purpose...

Generally none (aside from a few soft reds, see below), I enjoy all sorts of RP and am generally happy to go where events and consequences take us. I tend to favor longer, deeper interactions, plots/plot hooks and character development opportunities over brief one-offs, but there's no harm in a little variation. If you've something typically considered extreme in mind, why not drop a tell? =)

For the sake of sparking the imagination however, here's a few things I like:
- Chance encounters (hostile, friendly, tense or light-hearted and anything in between) in remote locations
- All things dark fantasy
- Secrets & mystery, intrigue, slow-burn payoffs
- Engaging conversationalists
- Romance & romantic themes, flirtations, teasing, courting, etc
- Genuinely sweet/good/honorable men
- Classical romantic themes
- Sailors & pirates
- Soldiers, Knights, mercenaries & gentlemen
- Shady deals & being hired for morally ambiguous work
- Shady individuals & criminals
- Backalleys and slums (city underbelly themes, locations and RP)
- Vampires and other creatures of the night
- Occult themes
- Clever use of magic in RP
- Wilderness RP
- Exotic creatures/monsters
- All things extraplanar, particularly fiends
- Tasteful combat or conflict RP (mutual fun first)
- Plotlines, private or otherwise
- Consequences (short- and/or long-term)
- Corruption & redemption
- Mind trickery & poison, magical or drug-induced (giving and receiving)
- Elaborate coercion schemes
- Elaborate foreplay


And conversely, here's a few things you may find Mina reluctant to engage in:
- Particularly unsanitary private activities
- BDSM, heavy bondage, "slavery" (actual capture/enslavement, however, would be interesting if it serves an IC purpose...)
- Unclear gender definitions
- Romance with females
- Overly monstrous characters
- Non-consensual (as opposed to dubious consent, reluctance or anger-driven intimacy

Lastly, I have a philosophy: If you can find my location in the player list, that means I'm almost certainly not preoccupied, and always appreciate new opportunities for RP! Come say hi!
