following & unfollowing.I follow blogs I am interested in, and I do not expect a follow back. I usually follow people for who I have great admiration for their writing, character development, etc. Do know that I try to read your rules, character bio and whatever else I need to know to make sure you are comfortable and that I can prepare myself for any interactions between our muses. When it comes to unfollowing, I generally unfollow for various reasons, and that this is not against the mun personally. Please be aware, however, that I only roleplay with mutuals.

minors. I do not follow or interact with people below age 21 for my safety or your own. If your age is not put on your blog for me to find, I will not follow you and instead block you. I ask that you do not lie about your age for our benefit. I also keep it a rule not to follow those younger than 21, even if they are legal adults. The contents of this blog make it unreadable for those under 18 years of age, so minors are strictly prohibited from reading or engaging with me. I will block those who are underage if need be.

low activity. I do roleplaying for fun, but it isn’t always at the forefront of my mind because life often takes priority. With that in mind, this blog will remain low-activity as I work a full-time job, am a full-time University student, am a father, and have a very busy personal life in general. As stated previously, roleplaying is a nice reprieve from the busyness of my life.

NSFW content Since the character is from a very mature media source, there will be content that may not be suitable for all. These depictions may include but are not limited to violence, drugs, alcohol, blood, gore, and other dark themes. If you are uncomfortable with such subjects, I ask you not to follow for your safety. Most of this content will be tagged under their appropriate trigger warnings or, in general, NSFW tags..

portrayal. My portrayal of Cloud Strife is mostly game-based from the original iteration of FFVII, however, since I’ve enjoyed Rebirth a lot I’ve also added that in. The various games where Cloud is featured in have also been added for verses, as his character rarely changes.

anon hate / drama-free zone . In addition, I will not pick sides regarding whatever is going on in the RPC. It should be noted that I also do not keep track of who is good/bad to talk to for whatever reason. I am not here to judge anyone unless that person has shown that they are a vindictive person or has broken actual law. I roleplay on Tumblr to have a small escape from the harshness of reality and do not have the patience to care for every slight someone makes to another.

shipping. I do not condone forcing two characters together for the sake of ships, as this will cause an instant to unfollow. However, I’m all for it if the two muses come together naturally. I am a fan of slow burns, so it’s always fun to see it happen. Unless plotted otherwise or even an eventual thing, all relationships with Cloud will be platonic.With concerns involving Aerith and Tifa. I enjoy both women and see Cloud with both. Regardless of what others enjoy. If this bothers you, then please, do not follow me. I really am not here to debate the reasons why I enjoy both ladies for Cloud. Finally, when it concerns Sephiroth. I am not against the ship, I just find it incredibly complicated…per say for Cloud, which I will never not enjoy exploring should it come along.

length / plotting. I generally write the same amount as my partner unless the writing muses take me for a wild ride, and I write far too much in a feverous passion! Though I do tend to write multi-para/novella. I do not expect others to reach my length. I firmly believe in quality over quantity, so do whatever you will! I ask that it is tidy enough for me to read. I don’t see myself as good at plotting, but I do not mind bouncing ideas off each other to see what will work. Having a basis to work with makes writing much more accessible.

grammatical errors. Because English isn’t my first language and it has been a while since I’ve written in length in said language, there may be some grammar errors or spelling mistakes. Please let me know so I can remedy it as quickly as possible. I try to ensure I fix them before posting, but I am only human~!

blocking. I do not believe in softblock towards others or even myself. If you have an issue with me, please hard block me, for I will do the same for others. Blocking is usually used as a last resort on my part. However, I will block on sight if you are a personal blog interacting with my threads.

god-modding. If this happens, I may send a warning or drop the thread altogether. Please do not do it.

duplicates. I do not roleplay with duplicates for my sanity.

triggers. Personally speaking, I do not have any triggers for myself, though I am aware others might. I shall tag triggers appropriately for the safety of those who read/follow me. The only issue I may have is with trypophobia.

  personality.     On the surface, Cloud Strife presents himself as a hardened warrior, cocky and headstrong, coldhearted and disinterested in anything beyond completing the hired job at hand. He tells others, often dismissively and with snark, that he has no interest in larger causes, such as the plight of the planet, and appears unshaken by the devastation the bombings he helped carry out cause. He is cool-headed, and mostly carries himself as an expert and professional.Beneath the surface, Cloud is socially awkward, being well-intentioned but unsure how to carry himself in conversations, having difficulties to express himself. Many who are close to him begin to see through the cracks in his hardened persona, recognizing he is softer deep down. Through it all, Cloud is steadfastly loyal to his friends, harboring guilt if he feels he has let them down, and strives to be a hero. He is willing to go through any lengths, from fighting off powerful enemies alone, to crossdressing despite the discomfort to don a disguise, to keep them safe. This, too, does not fool some of his friends, who in turn look out for him when they believe he is out of his depth.

  history.     use this section to briefly write about your character's origin story / history, basically anything that contributed to making them who they are in the present day, and the things that affected their journey. briefly talk about their childhood, any developmental arcs, what they're doing in the present, etc. feel free to expand further / add other sections if you have pro lite. i made this dossier shorter than usual to try to accommodate to basic plan users.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

headcanon one. Cloud has very little care for physical touch, whether it be platonic or intimate; he will have an aversion to it. However, it should be noted that just because this is the case, it doesn't mean that once Cloud gets to know someone, he will push them away.

In which Cloud is your resident delivery driver with unknown origins. He settled in Zaun years ago, earning himself a reputation as a delivery boy with the occasional merc business on the side. Carries a large sword on his back that he’s able to wield proficiently, even though he’s scrawny-looking.Cloud cares little for status and what happens in the gangs down in Zaun, but he does keep track of rumors. Most of Cloud’s jobs are odd ones where he ends up having to do fetch quests that end up being more…well, fetch quests. In general, Cloud keeps to himself and says very little while doing his job. He's a mystery among mysteries. Some say he hasn't aged a day since he's been in Zaun; others say he has a bad attitude. The latter was more believable than its upper cousin.Either way the rumor goes, one thing is for sure: Cloud will deliver whatever needs to be done. Whether that be contraband or a cake for somebody's birthday. He's got your back! Probably.
