Jovian's Bulletins
Hello! As stated in my previous bulletin, I have now learned that you really can just be selfish and make a TH world just for your own story information.
I've been typing up a "lore bible" for Rixile on and off again, and it's only about 1/3rd finished. I've transferred all the complete info over to TH, with blank WIP placeholder pages (marked with an *) for the content I intend to add as I get around to it. Currently this means that most of what's done is the pantheon pages (mostly regurgitated from my existing bios for them) and a few of the miscellaneous pages. I'm currently working on political alliances and the races next.
Rixile is definitely the most expansive world I've created; I'd love to do TH worlds for my other stories but I really should just focus on one at a time.
I...I didn't realize you COULD use Worlds just for your own personal worldbuilding info...I thought they HAD to be for RP/CS stuff...
I feel really goofy now...well...watch this space I guess! I haven't really had a real place to put worldbuilding info publicly once Tumblr went to shit, so I've had all these things just bouncing around in Google docs just RARING to go
I'm taking commissions now!

Check them out!
I have a Ko-fi now!
You may have noticed I upload a great many silly little doodles to my character pages. You can donate to me and get a doodle like that of your very own!
Coming up next I will whip up a commissions post for proper art commissions. Thank you!
Hey! I added a bunch of info to my Rixile Pantheon folder! That leaves just a couple folders left until I have all my OC info on here current!!
Things to come as I get the motivation to expound on them:
- Rixile mortals
- Updating the Argent info to be more current
- A folder for a tabletop game I'm running that's currently hidden?! I'm mostly procrastinating on this one because I need to make sure they don't have spoilers for any of my players that could be reading them haha
I'm also gearing up to take proper commissions! I have been for a while, but I don't have any formal posts or anything, so only mutuals have really approached me about them so far. But I have a business PayPal set up and will first use it to set up a Ko-fi. So watch this space!
Well I think it's safe to say I'm getting back into the swing of things here! All my tabletop characters have basic profiles now, and I'm working on bringing the argent characters back as I redraw their references. It's work, especially when you want everyone to learn about your OCs, and it's probably why it took me so long to get back into this site...but I'm feeling optimisitc??
If it wasn't immediately obvious I'm finally back into the swing of this thing! Going to try to at least do profile fields for everyone and definitely working on tabletop characters first. I really love my tabletop characters but it's hard to write about them since they're so dependent on the games they come from...but I can at least TRY to introduce them to the world at large
Art fight also looks interesting but I have wayyyy too much on my plate right now. Maybe next year, when these profiles have more info so I can link back to them conveniently.
Hello! I think I am ready to tackle this website again. First item on the agenda is finishing the Superego bios for good, and then moving on to either Rixile stuff or my tabletop characters. I will add more tabletop characters soon because I keep entering games and keep getting attached to my characters oops. I've also been GMing one, so I might add the NPCs of that game here once the plot gets more established. But yeah, mood-wise I've been doing better, and I miss talking about my OCs, so I want to come back here. Fingers crossed!
EDIT: WELL after I got done drawing new art for characters I wanted to add here, I started getting commissions for the very first time, scary but exciting!! So that ended up diverting all attention away from here (ain't ADHD something?). But I still haven't forgotten it, and when these are done I'm telling all my friends to kick my ass about posting here, ahahah. I miss you guys.
I've been in stasis for a while, mostly mood-wise. I plan to come back on here and start attacking the remaining bios soon. I miss my OCs. I miss talking about my OCs. I miss people being excited about my OCs because I was excited about them when I talked about them. :(
Current plan is to fix up Rixile stuff and add all remaining Superego cast spoilers. Adding bulletins like this detailing stuff I want to do with my OCs is giving me major deviantArt vibes? anyone else remember dA? it's so different nowadays what the hell. I wound up there by accident once and felt like I was in a foreign land
- I prefer to RP with other adults. Interacting this intimately with minors is uncomfortable for me, sorry!
- My timezone is EST, but if one of us has to go to bed or something I don't mind waiting until we're all awake again.
- I work weekdays till around 5 PM.
- There are a few tabletop games I regularly participate in, so I might not be available every evening.
- I prefer Discord most of all, just let me know if you're adding me since I might assume you're a stranger!! My handle is Jovian#2112.
- For others, it really depends on the site. The more IRC- or forum-like, the better. It's simply what I'm used to.
- In general, the bigger the group, the more organized I'd want it to be. I'd especially prefer it if big groups have forums or other ways to organize specific roleplay segments, so that smaller RPs can grow and have their own threads.
- I am also a little more comfortable with minors in a large group setting as long as there's other adults too, but I'd probably still avoid you for one-on-one situations, SORRY
- Okay this may be my old showing but wtf does "head cannon" mean with regard to post type? Headcanons for characters? That's not a way people post?? HELP??
- I have super mega ADHD so short and snappy is the way I both prefer to read and write.
- I will try to match your length as much as possible but I get exhausted writing paragraphs. If you regularly RP with a small essay I am not the one you seek.
- There's only so much I care to describe about a single location, or a character's appearance, before feeling like I've said everything I can.
- My most comfortable way to RP would be script style for dialog (especially if multiple characters of mine are involved, that shit gets confusing, man), but scenery and longer actions can still be described with some sentences.
- I especially prefer the above for a hectic Discord/IRC setting, but for forums I am fine with paragraphs. Just don't expect terribly long ones, especially if our characters are just chatting and doing little else. I like leaving room for the other character to respond, which is probably also why script appeals to me!
- I'm nonbinary and turbo gay. My characters are varied all over the place similarly, and I'd like it if yours were too!
- Most of my characters are human or humanoid. I will RP with anthros and similar-looking original species, but not if I'm also expected to be an anthro. We can just say anthros and humans coexist together or something it's fine
- Ferals are a different beast, since it seems a little strange for my mostly human-looking OCs to be chatting up a cat, so I'm going to have to say no. Sorry, feral fans.
- There's a small possibility I might make a brand new OC for an RP setting (especially if it's a CS or something), but in terms of using my preexisting OCs here on TH, the above applies.
- I like fun adventures and day-to-day activities. I have a goofy sense of humor and don't like it if things are 100% serious all the time. Humor is a good way to decompress from the serious.
- I do still like drama though, but it really depends on what the drama is. I have a weak stomach, so any horror-type things can't be super gory with me, especially if you get descriptive. A vampire or ten is fine though.
- For canon or AUs, it really comes down to what it is. If I'm RPing with a fancharacter in an established universe, I'd prefer it if you were a fancharacter too. I don't really like the idea of interacting with established characters.
- I'd like to get to know you and your OC first before I commit to shipping one of my characters with yours.
- Relationship exclusivity depends on the characters. A couple of my OCs have relationships with close friends' OCs that I'm obsessed with to the point where it feels weird to ship them with anyone else, but they're exceptions, not the rule.
- As long as you ask, I'll be sure to let you know what I'm comfortable with for my OC, and what kinds of characters would ship well with them!
- I'm okay with some fast-mode goofiness, but I'd prefer it if things felt natural. How fast or slow something happens also depends on the characters involved...some of them just can't spit it out, you know?
- Uhhh I'm asexual and on the sex-averse side, so I'd prefer to skip any naughty scenes. Totally fine with implying the act though, my OCs are allowed to have have sex drives separate from my own.
- Foreplay is fine, as well as discussing what we want out of a scene in advance, but as soon as it gets erotic I'd prefer a fade to black.
- However, the less I know you the less comfortable I will be with these types of scenes in general. You should not RP with me expecting to get smut out of it. (I don't know why you'd be seeking smut from a sex-averse asexual anyway??)
- You can draw art of my OCs in a vacuum, but if there's any specific potentially touchy subject matter involved such as romance or violence, please consult with me before you start drawing it.
- Please don't draw anything NSFW of my OCs in general, I don't want it and will not budge on this. Please respect my boundaries.
- Violence really depends on what it is. I'm fine with fight scenes, blood is fine, but gore to the point of entrails kinda freaks me out.
- Something brutal can happen to a character (like dismemberment or something) but I would like any gross details to be glossed over.
- I can put it like this: injuries and characters being injured is fine. The actual act of the injury (and how much we get into it) would have to be discussed beforehand.
- However I am absolutely down for any hurt/comfort that may come from something like this ;) ;) ;) that's the stuff
- This isn't really a specific square here, but I'd also like to state I'd feel heavily uncomfortable RPing violence against a minority. I understand some characters are created specifically to be assholes for you to hate, but using this as a way to make your OC say slurs because it's IC for them, or something, is a huge No from me.
- Being mentally disordered, I love seeing it in OCs, and also have plenty of neurodivergent OCs myself, but I only like RPing it if it's handled with maturity.
- Thus I would prefer this kind of RP in a one-on-one setting once I've gotten to know you, where I can safely tell you've researched it or lived it. Hurt/comfort in these contexts is very delicious to me as well!!
- For a group setting, I'm comfortable with fairly common conditions most folks seem to be aware of (things like depression, ADHD, etc.), but would be nervous about seeing a stranger playing an OC with a more disruptive, commonly misunderstood disorder (as well as others' reactions to it, in canon and out). I would have to really trust the whole group with a character like this.
- For example, if you use "crazy" or "psychopathic" to actually describe a disordered person, and think something like schizophrenia makes an OC kill people because their """other personality""" did it, please don't RP with me. Actually don't even talk to me.
- Violence against minorities is a little more tolerated with me if it's backstory trauma for a character, but I wouldn't want to get into too many details. Again, this can't be an excuse to say slurs, lmfao.
- Like I said before, blood is OK with me, but once you veer into gore territory I get uncomfortable. Just ask first.
- Mental stress is fine (honestly I draw it all the time anyway), but I am against depictions of self-harm if it's romanticized.
- Generally, if I won't RP something, I won't want art of it either.
