writing style: detailed 1st/script and 3rd/para

- will mirror response
- i am a slow responder.
- extra: i am slower with 3rd/para responses. just started writing in 3rd/para, so please excuse my rough responses.

# data[].attributes.body
preferred genres: angst, drama, slice of life, romance, smut

with romance, this does not guarantee our characters are endgame. rather the plot has romantic elements to it like former lovers, current attractions, etc.

location preferences: walls typically, but will respond in rooms. anything smut related, strictly walls or pm.

genres avoidances: nothing too fluff, comedic, or action based. willing to do comedy if the plot calls for it and it feels natural.

triggers/limits/will most likely not plot with:

incest
sexual assault. my characters will never get involved with that. it's fine if it is part of your character's background
cancer. will most likely avoid plotting/rping with your character if it's part of their background in some way, especially if it is vital to your character or the plot. will be happy to write/plot with a different character though. taecyeon could visit  hospitals and stuff, but nothing too deep.

# data[].attributes.body
there is no preference between the two.

plotting essentials and notes

for plotting please send a pm.

if you do not have any ideas when approaching me, please tell me what you like/don't like.

i can get extremely detailed and ask too many questions during the process, just a warning. this happens more so when there's history, angst, or complicated layers between our characters. i want to make sure our characters are on the same page.

please contribute to the plotting process. it helps me immensely when suggesting ideas, but also inspires me to do better.

if we are plotting, but i haven't heard from you for two to three weeks i will open up my plot. you are free to grab it again in that situation.

taecyeon’s mother was the small town girl with the dreams of making it big, have her name in the movies and pictures in every magazine. however, after moving there in her early twenties, she ended up back in dandelion as a failed actress and five months pregnant. her family was as supportive they could be, but was still disappointed by the situation.

the father was some chaebol type that did not intend on having any part of his child’s life, just a hefty monthly check that would cover the child’s basic needs, some extra wants, and silence the mother’s entire family from revealing anything. he was busy with his family's company and his own kids.

# data[].attributes.body
while taecyeon lived  in a large home with a backyard and had all the toys he wanted, he still stood out like a sore thumb, being a child of a single mother.  the other kids picked on him at school. it did not matter that he had better grades, was a better athlete, wore european designers, or had the fanciest gadgets. he had little friends and plenty of enemies. he had to survive somehow, but he could not give his mother any more trouble than she had. despite the arguments that he landed in, he was smart about it. he never fought in front of the teachers, no one could prove anything if they did not see it. the teachers and principals felt bad for him, seeing him as a smart kid that was thrown in an unfair situation.

college, law school, and life as a public defender

# data[].attributes.body
the same cycle continued in college and law school, he was the smart kid that had the single mother stigma attached to him. despite gritting his teeth and dealing with everyone’s shit, they still looked down on him.

finding a job was difficult, his seniors and classmates in the field finding some reason to blacklist him. his father refused to help, but when did the old man ever help? it was during his first year as a public defender he had the case of a lifetime, a teen boy who assaulted his classmate after years of bullying because of single parent status. everyone in the nation kept a close eye on the case, as it questioned society’s take on single parents, rich versus poor, and school bullying. the case struck a personal cord for taecyeon, being able to relate it.

cases piled high on his desk, but it did not stop taecyeon from giving it his 110%. the public started to like him, seeing how passionate he was about the situation. he was seen as a defender of the people, understanding the struggles of the vulnerable. while he was not able to secure a not guilty verdict, he was able to lower his client's sentencing to a simple probation. the news was disappointing, but it was only the start of taecyeon's career as a public figure.

# data[].attributes.body
it was after this case, taecyeon’s father called him over for their first dinner together. dandelion’s assemblyman position was about to open up and he was the perfect candidate. taecyeon had no scandals and was well liked, seen as someone who would fight for the people. there would be no issue on winning, the old man would give him all the backing that he needed. this role would give everything that he wanted, power and influence. he could make the change that he wanted for society, but no one would be able to look down at him.

it was a tough pill to swallow, but the two joined hands. taecyeon would do his best to make a world that he deemed fit, one that actually helped others. with that message and his father’s secret backing, he won the election the following year. he was popular with the media and public too. despite being known for his hot temper, people found it to be part of his charm. he was frank and only fighting for what was right. it helped too that he only looked out for the people, he had his heart in the right place. the bonus was that he was young and good looking.

as the years passed though, the hot head with a good heart was a half baked truth. it soon became a manufactured image, only letting out his temper when needed to be and rightfully knowing when to shut up. instead, everything about him seemed to be carefully crafted that no one seems to notice. there is a reason to everything he thinks and does. he's still popular with the public, always keeping to his promises.

however, these results always come with certain means and costs. he would not hesitate entering questionable deals with other politicians. if desperate enough, he's willing to stop by a warehouse at 2AM to "encourage" some information from a source with his fists. he's morally gray, always thinking that the ends justify the means.

# data[].attributes.body
taecyeon's marriage is a sham. while the family man image is popular for politicians, he was never a fan of it. rather he preferred to focus on his work and have fun with whatever woman catches his eye. that all seemed to have ended when he met his wife.

he never really wanted to marry her, she was a fun fling he knocked up and turned her into a trophy wife. however, it was months after the wedding, she had a miscarriage. the two only stayed together for the sake of his image and the benefits that came with his job, but there was little love between them. they shared a house, but both had their own lives and dalliances. he would gift with her a large monthly allowance from his father too. the only deal was that they kept their scandals private.

# data[].attributes.body
a hot head with good intentions. he's morally gray, able to get things done, but under questionable tactics. believes in the ends justifying the means. once honest and known for that image, most things about him are constructed to a certain degree and to meet a particular goal.

details: it was a fling that soon turned into a shotgun marriage. he didn't want to marry her, but he had to for the sake of his political career. however, months after the wedding, they had a miscarriage. they only stayed together for his image and the benefits, but there is little love between them. they share a home, but have their own dalliances. to some degree, they are almost like partners in crime. they foster a loving image as she guides him in his work and devises new plans with him, but they seem to hate one another. as much as they argue, the one thing they can solidly agree on is keeping their scandals private and maintaining their brand.

relationship: employee
details: muse a was a fan of taecyeon's trial work, admiring someone who seemed to fight for the people. they even volunteered on his campaign, spending countless hours, days, and nights to ensure that he would win. however, through out the years, muse a has watched taecyeon go from his fiery frank self to a manufactured shell of what he once was, doing things that were highly questionable. despite that, muse doesn't say anything about it. rather they encourage it, knowing that at the end of the day, taecyeon is only doing what needs to be done to get the job done and that it's nearly impossible to buck the system.

relationship: exes, first love

those who have seen taecyeon transition from a man of virtue and conviction to that of a questionable robin hood would wonder what went wrong, how he could change. however, muse a is not surprised by this change. as his first love, muse a saw the struggles that he went through and how he resented his father and society. muse a knew that he dreamed of power, but his need to be the best was what drove this relationship to the ground. there was nothing he could do to change it. he could not have his cake and eat it too.
