Please read your partner's rules!

Read the rules before you follow someone, and re-read them once every while to make sure you don't accidentally overstep boundaries or use triggering topics that may make them uncomfortable! It may seem like such an obvious thing, but it is actually a serious and rampant problem that people in fact DON'T read their partner's rules.

If someone has a password, then send it. You also have to message partners to send memes and prompts in, so don't tell me sending a password is a problem. Read these rules, send that password. If the password is an IC thing, clarify in your message that you only send this to confirm that you read the rules and don't want to make a big thing out of this.

If someone has an interest checker and it is a mandatory part of their rules, just fill it out. It can make it easier for your partner to decide which muse to send you if they run a multimuse and it shows that you read the rules and are genuinely interested in interacting with the other. If someone asks for specific things to be tagged, then tag them! Don't trigger your partners and then pull a surprised Pikachu face when you end up blocked. Respect your partner's demand for trigger warnings if they have them in their rules. Also, keep your tags simple! TRIGGER TW / TW TRIGGER. That's it. No fancy letters and emojis needed.

Too small text? Can't read? Message your partner and ask them for an alternative if you can't read their rules. I'm sure they can set up a doc or carrd for you with the rules in normal font-size without the use of obnoxious fonts and colors. It's all a matter of communication, which is and should be a basic thing in the RPC.

Please read the rules. Show your partner respect.

🌿🫙 — "Ahh... I forgot humans on Earth celebrate their mothers during this particular date. I, uh...not to be a pain, but can we maybe go somewhere without any display windows?"

He really needs ADAM to set a reminder later to not go to Earth during May 11.

🌿🫙 — "I'm sure they will understand if you tell them that their sibling is sick and needs that attention. It is no one's fault in the end, everyone is just doing their best."

He pauses a moment, tail swishing, as he contemplates. He sells his potions to adults or teenagers, those old enough to not get negatively affected by the small amounts of Aether he uses. But, he never administered a remedy to a small child before.

"I— maybe I can help you? I mix and sell healing potions, but... I'd have to do one specifically for a small child first."

"One kid's gettin' all the complications. He's gonna hate me. Or his siblings are gonna hate him cuz I pay him too much attention. Or both."

Running hands down his face, lowkey teary-eyed. Life is extremely stressful and this is his weak point.

Their Mental State. Do they have any mental conditions? Did they have these since birth or did something/someone cause these conditions? Do they have triggers? Do they talk about their mental state or do they try to hide it? @the-haunted-office / meme

Sakyr certainly has a form of ADHD since his childhood, with his attention being quickly shifting while he can hyperfocus on things that greatly interest him as well. He can get himself overstimulated when he's in loud busy places for too long. He is an extrovert tho, which enhances his tolerance, but can make it also difficult for him to keep that aspect in check. After a long busy day, he needs to retreat and recharge.

Getting overstimulated makes him moody and grumpy, and that is something he doesn't like and certainly tries to hide from those around him. He doesn't want to lash out on friends if he reaches his limits of what he can tolerate on old and new impressions. That point is also largely tied to his enhanced hearing, too.

Extremely loud and sudden noises can trigger irritation. But even though he is sensitive to sounds, as an extrovert, he doesn't mind being in crowded places like a funfair or generally street markets. In contrary, he likes being with people. But he definitely needs a couple hours of peace and quiet after such a day.

What would STOP your OC from Doing The Right Thing in a tense situation? @the-haunted-office & @justashadetalkative / meme

I could see Sakyr trying to help someone but making the situation potentially worse by increasing the amount of Aether in his potion. It would stop him of doing the right because he is well aware of the potential side-effects of Aether and is usually very cautious and strict in administering it into his potions and to his clients. But if a situation is tense and his help is needed FAST, it could spur him into doing such a bad decision.

If ADAM repeatedly tells him to get the fuck out of it. He's normally not someone to leave others behind and will attempt to help if someone is in danger. But if ADAM (which always prioritizes Sakyr's wellbeing first and foremost) keeps urging Sakyr and the situation is super tense, he might run for it rather than doing the right thing.

What’s something pointless/petty/unimportant that IRRATIONALLY ANNOYS THE HELL out of your OC? 👀👀👀✨ @outofthiisworld / meme

As someone occasionally impatient, it peeves Sakyr when automated doors take seemingly forever to close/open. Especially elevator doors. Oh he just can't stand them!

That said, ADAM closes/opens doors swiftly on Sakyr's ship, once someone goes through them. Which is something Sakyr appreciates and is used to, but could be wild to visitors that almost end up stuck in the quickly closing doors at first.

On a side note: Sakyr is used to and also naturally gifted in moving quickly. Goblins are short and need the speed to dodge bigger people and incoming obstacles. His tail helps him maneuver when he's running fast.

Trope Talk @outofthiisworld / meme

Motor Mouth: Once Sakyr starts talking about his work, his interests or those that are close to him, he has troubles stopping the waterfall. And it can be hard to keep up with him. He can get a little overbearing at times with talking and displaying his excitement, and is bad at taking silent cues to tune it down a bit.

Tattle Tail: Next to being chatty, a lot of Sakyr's emotions show through his tail's movements. Swishing, twitching, wagging... it can happen that he knocks stuff off tables and shelves, especially if he's somewhere indoors. He tries very hard to not cause any accidental damages, but it happens. Especially when he's very excited or nervous.

Trope Talk @pushspacetocontinue / meme

Anger born of Worry / Berserk Button: Sakyr prefers a pacifistic route and is rarely seen openly angry. But a bad situation he can't do much about or unresolved conflicts can upset him to the point of showing genuine hints of anger. Once Sakyr gets really angry in a dangerous situation, he is not afraid of using his tiny handgun or even his gift to defend himself or a friend. But yeah, his Berserk Button is not so easy to push.

But Now I Must Go: Sakyr is always travelling from world to world with his business, never really staying too long at the same place. Though, he has customers he revisits monthly to provide them with potions, he doesn't want to permanently settle somewhere.

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: May or may not apply to ADAM to degrees. It is very not transparent about its origins and why it travels with Sakyr. It is not an evil, murdrous AI with world-domination plots tho, but its unhingedness certainly rises some concerns to everyone BUT Sakyr...

Trope Talk @the-haunted-office / meme

Healing Potion: The obvious classic. Sakyr handles all kinds of crazy or helpful potions, with many of them being remedies of sorts. His potions all come with a kick to them too, but drinking too much at once can cause a dangerous Aether addiction.

Kindhearted Simpleton: Sakyr is definitely not like The Ditz. But, he goes into a situation with a lot of Good Faith. For example, he doesn't assume theft right away if something is missing from an order, and checks first if there was just a mistake. He prefers to help others and keep things simple and friendly. So he can be easily mistaken for being just ditzy, but he's not as stupid as he may seem at times. A bit of a simpleton for sure, tho.
