Mickey Mouse

[Mickey Mouse]

Up first, here are some IC notes to help people figure Mickey out if you're roleplaying him for the first time.

Roleplaying Mickey!

• Personality - Mickey's a pretty easy to please guy when it comes to getting his personality right. He's generally pretty chipper and, yes, I roleplay him as utilizing the many catchphrases and exclamations that the cartoon character uses despite him being the rugged King Mickey of Kingdom Hearts fame technically; that means an "oh boy!" or a "gosh!" is welcome. He generally doesn't use curse words or really anything nasty (I think one time I wrote something about how he hates the phrase "shut up," even) and will chastise other characters for their use of bad language, Captain America style; although, there's been one or two noted exceptions to this rule when he's in a really heightened emotional state. That being said, I generally like to make that judgment call myself or let a staff saga host do it, so unless otherwise noted, please save those exceptions for me. Mickey is wholly pacifistic in a general sense and will try his best to avoid combat (though he's not against it completely in the right circumstances) and when things begin to get violent and unruly he may spiral into sadness, depending on the company around him.
  
• Fighting Style - As mentioned above, Mickey fancies himself a non-violent person and will do his best to avoid fighting when he can, though he will defend himself if necessary or engage in combat to subdue someone he judges is an evildoer. He will not kill on purpose, and has only accidentally killed once in his entire time in the Omniverse. He's not really a fan of Banishing, though he understands that it is a necessary evil to get some evildoing primes out of the way, and has done it once, to Gilgamesh, as a part of the Proto Mouse fusion. As far as how he actually fights, he relies very much on his size and speed to weave in and out of an opponent's attack window, and will often do literal flips around them in an attempt to overwhelm them. He is an excellent swordsman, and in most cases is most likely to engage in melee attacks, though he does know some magic spells that serve as ranged moves. Mickey also relies heavily on several assists to help him, detailed above. If I were to place him into a Final Fantasy class, I'd probably say he's a summoner.

Below are just some OOC notes to let people know my style and what I'm cool and comfortable with. Thought this would be a nifty idea to tack on to my roster, so I'm trying it out.

Roleplaying with Jacob!

• When I'm in a thread with another player, I am completely comfortable with anyone roleplaying Mickey or one of my NPCs! Mickey's not that difficult a character to grasp for the most part, but if you're unsure, I've written a pretty detailed roster for him (above) and I am always open to reading through your post before you post it, if you just want me to check and see if your dialogue looks right, or whatever. Just PM it to me and I'll give it a look through as soon as possible.
  
• On a similar note, I'm also totally comfortable roleplaying other people's characters and NPCs if you're like me to do so/are okay with that. However! I will always prefer you to look over my post, at least the first few times we write together. If we get to a point where we've written together extensively or I feel like I have at least a basic grasp on your character, I probably won't PM you whole posts but I will probably still ask you questions via the chatbox, Skype, or PM. So be on the lookout for me!
  
• My availability varies. I'm a working professional actor, so while I'm generally pretty available on average, there might be points when I'm posting a bit slower or faster than normal. Really it varies, but I promise I'll get back to you eventually! Just don't expect a post every day and we should be fine.
  
• On that note, I'm totally comfortable with you double posting in a thread we're in if I'm swamped with life and can't find time to sit down and write a good, solid post for you. Just let me know via PM or Skype that you've decided to work on something and I'll check it off my list till you're done. I know sometimes people just get itchin' to write something and I don't want to keep you from doing that! Just let me know and we'll be golden.
  
• As far as my general post length goes, I usually write about 1000-2000 words. Sometimes if I feel like I have an especially big plot point to cover or if I just have a lot to say, it can go longer. Rarely does it go shorter than 800, but it definitely doesn't get shorter than 600. That said, I do not expect people to match my length. If you want to write short posts, feel free. If you want to write 2000 word posts or more or something, feel free. As long as I have something to respond to, I'm super cool.

Thanks for understanding, future writing partners. Bam!
