25 // He/they // ExtrovertWriter’s Account✯ Psychology major, I’m a full time student with other responsibilities outside of that✯ I’ve been a writer for 12-13 years at this point, it’s something I’m super passionate about✯ I like talking to people! I never mind being DMed out of character and encourage it. I like to plot, I like to discuss things with people, I am a generally sociable person✯ I deal with dissociative / memory issues so if I misread a rp response or completely forget information or threads, this is likely why. I am diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (DID), it will generally affect me (including attitude shifts on occasion). I just ask for patience, I will not be open about my disorder unless necessary or I get closer to people.✯ That being said, PLEASE do not hound me for replies, I will get avoidant and it may result in a block, if it’s been a few days I don’t mind a little reminder because of said memory issues

Account Link➥ Portrayal Notes✯ Tim really has a tendency to talk a lot. This is because his mind is constantly thinking, planning, and observing that it’s very hard for him to entirely control what he says. As a result, sometimes he’s not careful about what he says around people and can fumble over words. When he’s Red Robin, he is a LOT more careful about this and knows exactly when to keep his mouth shut. When he’s more serious as his civilian self, he can also hone in on being careful about what he says. However, around people he is comfortable with, he talks. All his thoughts, and he doesn’t really hold back on bluntness either.✯ Because of his intelligence, one of his fatal flaws is not only thinking he is right most of the time, but wanting control over situations as a result. This causes him to sometimes act a bit condescendingly even if he doesn’t mean it that way. He has a big heart and just wants to help people. If he has the solution, he will try his best to enact that even if people are stubborn with him. This manifests in him having “the audacity” of acting in people’s best interests even if it wasn’t wanted. He may be right, but he can sometimes cross the line if someone isn’t ready for something. The best example that comes to mind is how he essentially chose himself as Robin because while he was right about Bruce needing a Robin, he did get involved in another family’s grieving as a stranger claiming to know the solution. He will back down if it’s really needed, but he is stubborn.✯ Along those lines, he has control issues. He likes to be in control of everything and if he just thinks hard enough, he can figure something out. This makes him a good leader, because he is usually levelheaded when he has everything situated and under control, but when it’s not in his control he can get explosive. He has a tendency to blame himself for failure that may have nothing to do with him because of something he perceives he can control, is not going well, he takes it personally and gets angry. This is a man who’s self worth rides on continually making the right decisions, and if he doesn’t he can fall into a pit of anger and depression. This need for control also can cause obsession, and fixation until something is figured out.✯ Definitely is mentally ill, likely suffers from depression and some form of OCD. His perfectionism, his need to stay on top of his deductions and observations and general righteousness can breed obsessive compulsive tendencies. He has an obsession with perfectionism and control and his compulsions come out during his work as a detective and vigilante. This can make him seem like a workaholic, and while it helps him continue to do good, it is a hindrance in that it can sometimes control his life and bleed into his relationships.✯ When his obsessions with keeping people safe gets particularly bad, sometimes he can cross people’s boundaries and check in on them using technology and other tools he has at his disposal. He does not stalk, it’s not a routine thing he does. It’s only if his mental illness really acts up, and he’s not thinking clearly.✯ Big heart, he loves hugs and comforting people. He’s just usually around people who don’t like physical touch. His empathy and idealism helps him see potential in people and inherently wants to trust. He believes in Bruce’s ideology about allowing people to redeem themselves wholeheartedly, and believes everyone has potential. He is altruistic at heart, choosing the Robin mantle himself rather than being chosen is a large indication of that. He wants good for people and is naturally someone who wants to help.✯ Nerd, dork, geek, he’s essentially all of the above. He likes tabletop games and various forms of media. He doesn’t take a lot of time off, but if he’s forced to he is usually reading, or immersing himself in something else nerdy.✯ His biological parents were emotionally neglectful which has given Tim his independent streak. He is okay with people helping him but he has learned to shoulder everything himself and has a tendency to logic his emotions out so he doesn’t have to feel them / rely on other people. He’s fairly emotionally repressed and as a result he tends to bottle things until he explodes or lashes out.✯ Tim was out as trans at a younger age, to a certain extent. It was more like he gravitated towards masculine things and it just kind of stuck. Only once he was in his teens did he start going by Timothy instead of his deadname. His parents were very passive about it and didn’t seem to care, but also didn’t entirely take him seriously. Tim started to fully transitioned once he was entirely under Bruce’s care.

Account Link➥ Portrayal Notes✯ Jason is an inherently mistrustful person. From a young age he has had to be careful of the intentions of adults around him and does not trust the systems in place to keep himself and other’s safe. As a result, he is very self sufficient and he is able to act alone easily. That being said, that isn’t preferable and Jason often wishes he was closer to his family. He knows he can’t hold his breath, but he does know he can trust them on the field when it matters. His mistrust also causes him to study people, often understanding how people tick. It is one of his skills, and he is not above provoking people to make them stumble over themselves. His mistrust is also why he takes justice into his own hands, because he knows he can trust himself above all else, even if he doubts his capabilities.✯ Jason is a very emotionally driven person, it is the one thing that he has little control over. This can make him impulsive and reckless if he feels personally involved in something and that is often the case. When it comes to cases, it is hard for him not to feel empathy and want to act immediately without planning things out. He is smart enough to be strategic, think on the fly and get himself out of situations, it’s really just his emotions that causes him to get himself into trouble sometimes. This is something he clashes with his family about, since Jason has large emotions and his family is more repressed.✯ He has a habit of being inflammatory in order to get reactions out of people to understand their true intentions. He will toe the line of saying things that show that he cares, but not enough for people to get it immediately. He just wants people to understand him and offer him care first because he is tired of having people trample on his care. Best example is he cared a lot about Bruce as Robin, and when he died and came back and saw that “Bruce didn’t care,” he became resentful because his world revolved around Bruce and he didn’t see it reciprocated even if that wasn’t entirely realistic from the beginning. So he protects himself from doing that, and provokes reactions to see if people care enough.✯ Jason has BPD, because of suffering from a disorganized attachment from his parents, and never having any truly stable relationships, he developed this disorder. Bruce was an old FP, which explains why he idealized him the way he did and then the crash after he was fully resurrected and present again. He has a deep fear of abandonment, so to stop that from happening he remains distant with people. When he gets close, it can both feel painful because of past experiences, but relieving in the sense that he wants people to lean on inherently. He just wants to be chosen, and people to keep their promises. He is a family guy.✯ He is portrayed with the head-canon that he experienced CSA, it fuels his mistrust, why he’s protective over children in crime alley and why he is a bit touch adverse at first. It also fuels why he enacts justice the way that he does, putting a bullet between someone’s eyes if he deems it necessary.✯ Jason is smart, he likes reading. He would’ve been a straight A student if he finished high school. He dumbs himself down in order for people to underestimate him, so he can pull one on people.✯ Jason does not feel comfortable in his body and often feels like it’s too big for him. This is because the Lazarus pit healed his malnutrition and he is not used to being that big even now. Sometimes he wishes he could shrink up, and when he is not doing well he has a tendency to make himself as small as possible. On bad days, he can be a bit clumsy.✯ He specifically protects the children of crime alley, they know what he looks like and he is not scary to them at all. The children keep his secret, he often brings them food especially if some of them are suffering from poverty. He takes care of them.✯ Jason didn’t start going by Jason until after he was orphaned. By that point, he did what he wanted, dressed how he wanted and he didn’t really consider his gender. He was more focused on survival. He just knew how he wanted to look like a boy at the time. Once he was adopted by Bruce Wayne, he realized that officially he was trans and Bruce Wayne helped him start his transition before he died. When he came back, he essentially had had to restart the process. Since he was declared dead he faked his identity to get prescriptions.✯ He can’t stay serious for very long, he often has bursts of wisdom and then he brushes them off. It makes him feel too uncomfortable and weird if he’s not joking around. It also makes him feel weirdly vulnerable, especially considering he hides his intelligence.✯ He has a favorite brother / sibling every week. It’s a joke he does, where he will tell one of them that they’re the favorite so that if he ever says it in front of the others they question him about it. He knows that his family wishes he would come around more often, so this is his way to joke about that without being serious about it. His sibling’s reactions to it is also another way he can tell who cares.✯ He jokes about his trauma to take control over it. He does not like when other people joke about it unless he started it, because it takes away that control. If it becomes deeper than just an offhand comment, he can shut off and get irritated.

Account Link➥ Portrayal Notes✯ Damian at his core is an empathetic person. His love for animals is a big indication of this and as a result he tends to only talk about his pets around people he trusts. He does that because he doesn’t want others to understand this about him, especially considering he knows people have preconceived judgements about him that are usually negative. He doesn’t want others to know this is a weakness and that under the harsh exterior, there is someone who believes in second chances especially since he was given one. While the league tried to snuff this out of him, it was never fully successful.✯ As a result he brushes off his kind acts or “complains” through it. He doesn’t want people to know he is genuinely thinking of helping them out and maintains a confident / nonchalant attitude about it. Kindness was seen as a weakness in the league, and because of that he is almost scared to show too much kindness. It’s not a direct fear, but he doesn’t like the idea of people understanding that he is helpful and the potential of it being used against him. If it is seen too much, or someone points it out he is likely to outright to deny what he is doing at first. Around trusted people he is more lax about this.✯ Deep down, Damian just wants to be loved and cared for. He is exhausted by the expectations placed on him and just wants people to love him for who he is and not for what they want him to be. While he assumes people don’t like him, it doesn’t mean that he likes that assumption. If anything, he does care about it and he can get in his head about it when he is alone. He rarely shows that vulnerability with people, wanting to make it seem like he’s doing just fine and people don’t affect him.✯ Art is a good outlet for him to get his feelings out and he is very particular about who sees it. He will show lighthearted things that he creates, but anything more he hides from people.✯ Damian knew Jason while he was with the league of assassins and met him first out of any of his brothers. It is portrayed that they were once close and Jason would watch over young Damian. As a result, Damian gets a little sore that Jason is the way that he is while simultaneously wishing for that closeness with him. He is both disproving heavily of what Jason decides to do with his life, but remembers how kind Jason was toward younger Damian.✯ Very loyal to a fault with the people he is close with to the point of almost overprotection. He cherishes the people who have stuck by him even in his worst moments, and people who have never judged him. While he is still believes he is “difficult,” he is easier around people he is closer with. He is also loyal to causes, he deeply believes in Batman’s ideology of no killing, and allowing people to redeem themselves because that’s exactly what Bruce did with him. Robin is very important to him, and is a large reason why he clashes with Tim also. He is both simultaneously jealous of Tim because he chose the mantle himself and how competent he’s been, but also boastful of it because he feels he embodies the hope and rebellion Robin is supposed to represent.✯ When it comes to his gender, he is generally neutral about the topic and is not a huge focus for him. All he knows is he just wants to be seen as himself and while he feels comfortable as who he is, he doesn’t want to be seen as strictly a man. This has been something he passively has thought about, but he’s never had any official coming out.✯ When he wants something, he is not very direct but when it comes to being critical of other people or offering advice he becomes direct to a fault. For example, it’s hard for him to ask for help or wanting to visit with someone more because he is used to being independent. He thinks his own needs and wants don’t matter in the grand scheme of things because that’s what he was taught, to put those aside in favor of being an assassin. But he has an easy time pointing out people’s flaws and is not shy about it. He can be abrasive in that sense and he doesn’t have a filter when it comes to talking. What he says may be true about a person but he doesn’t always know when to keep it to himself. He sees letting people know their weaknesses as helpful because he was taught to view it that way.

Account Link➥ Portrayal Notes✯ The main thing that drives this man is guilt. Guilt that he could’ve done better, guilt that everything could be better if he tries hard enough etc etc. He takes any type of loss very hard, his parents deaths really setting that bar. It is very hard for him to not feel personally responsible for things and people and it’s because he feels like he has to be there. If he’s not there, what if something happens to them and then it would just be more guilt on top of it. As a result, he is a fairly empathetic person, in tune with other people’s emotions. It’s a double edged sword, he is willing to give the benefit of the doubt and he is able to determine motive by understanding emotions. But at the same time, he struggles with his own emotions and feeling a lot of things at once.✯ His charm comes from his background as a performer so he has an easy time disarming people and in general being a good people person. He is playful and likes to banter with others. He wants people to feel better around him, even if he himself is carrying a lot of weight on his shoulders. He knows how to joke, be personable and sometimes that means talking circles around someone and getting information. He is very good in this realm, so good that it’s his mask. His optimism is still a part of him, but it’s to mask how he really feels and how much he self destructs. It’s easier to tell people he’s doing okay than to be vulnerable, because he feels like he has to be fine in order to be there for others.✯ Dick has BPD, having lost his parents at a young age, it created a rocky foundation. He has a history of pushing and pulling with relationships, but more so with his own internal self destruction. He tend to lash out whenever he perceives loss / abandonment and generally has shifting mood shifts. He struggles with suicide as well, as well as survivor’s guilt.✯ Dick is a strong leader, who is warm and makes sure everyone is doing well around him. He likes to guide, gently and he sees the potential in people. He holds strong moral principles and follows Batman’s no kill rule because he believes people should be given chances.✯ He has a savior complex, and will always want to catch people when they fall. The best way to describe this is Nightwing will catch you when you fall, when it inevitably happens, and picks you back up. Red Hood won’t let you fall in the first place. He is deeply self sacrificing and will do anything to help people at the expense to himself.✯ Overall he is a family guy, and loves being an older sibling figuratively or literally. He loves being a mentor and he loves being loyal and protective. Despite his anger underneath, he is a deeply kind person who wears his heart on his sleeve. He is an emotionally in tune person, just not always with himself and how he’s feeling.✯ Deep below he is angry and wishes he could do more for the world constantly, having high expectations for himself. His anger usually comes from being protective, loyal and his grief that he has from his parents. This anger especially comes out when he’s feeling very protective, and will go out of his way to protect someone in any way he can.
Extended Rules
This just elaborates on what I already put on my profile, not a necessity to read! But it explains things more thoroughly✯ I am not really an NSFW writer and I am very touchy on who I write those topics with. It is not my focus, and if I do write it, there is usually a point to it narratively. If I happen to write it with someone, it’ll only be in DMs. My account otherwise may toe the line sometimes, and be suggestive with shipping partners but it will not go further than that✯ Minors DNI, that’s pretty straight forward. My timeline will be SFW for the most part, but I just don’t feel comfortable writing with minors✯ On all my accounts, I tend to explore mature themes in general depicted in fiction. I am not shy about dark themes either, but if it becomes too dark I’ll move it away from the timeline. I read dark fiction on occasion on my own, I’m really not shy about stuff as long as stuff is explored with care and respect✯ I LOVE OCs!!!! I write one myself, if you have a plot you wanna do with any of my canon muses, or even my own oc PLEASE throw it my way. I never mind being DMed. I’m also multiverse, I just get nervous not knowing all the information about another person’s muse. I’m slowly becoming less shy though, but PLEASE feel free to initiate. I just love writing✯ I am anti-harassment, that means I will not be going after people for what they post/write. I will simply block what I don’t like and leave people alone. I’ve been in fandom for a long time, I just curate my spaces accordingly✯ That being said, if I’m following someone genuinely problematic, let me know in DMs, if you do it publicly I will block you➥ Ship Info✯ On all my accounts I’m multi ship, I love writing romance and am not shy about it. I do like build up though, and some muses are harder than others to get into a ship with✯ Please don’t make things all about ships though, I like other connections too like close friends, siblings, mentor / mentee etc etc.✯ Each ship has its own timeline, cheating storylines are not okay with me and it’s one of the few hard limits I have
