Top/Bottom Dom/Sub and kinks for ROs?

I’m dying to know if Titian is as sweet and innocent in bed as they are to everything else.

Camilo/Camila: Top/Verse

Airan/Aira: Bottom/Sub (can lean towards switch at times too).

Damon/Diana: Dom/Top. However, they’re more of a Soft Dom the majority of the time, unless pushed.

Morgan/Morgana: Switch/Verse

[dead-ringer-if]

what are the ROs love language? :3

Giving//Receiving

Camilo/Camila: Gifts— expect various gifts from them when you actually get into a relationship (usually to do with plants/flower crowns). // Quality Time— is especially important to them, now more than ever after everything.

Airan/Aira: Physical Touch (for both)— something that’s super big with them. They love being able to hold you and being held in return.

Damon/Diana: Words of Affirmation— they think it’s important for you to hear what they think from the heart, tell you how important you how to them. They’ve made that mistake of not doing so one too many times. // Quality Time— in line with C, Quality Time is super important for them.

Morgan/Morgana: Gifts— It’s all that they know how to do, but once they get further into the relationship it shifts (Physical Touch). // Words of Affirmation— those go a long with them. You’ll see more of what I mean as you uncover more about them.

is this inspired by fallen hero?

No 😅— I’ve only read the first one, so I can understand the connection but it’s not inspired by it, no.

[dead-ringer-if]

Do any of the characters have to eat/sleep more as a result of their abilities?

I'd assume MC has to eat a lot more because of their wings. Hopefully the Wardens are well funded, which I imagine they are if they all stay in one building.

There are only a few Wardens that have that issue— mainly when it comes to food.

Titan > Nebula > Riven > Nova

Titan has to consume the most because of how much calories they burn, and Nebula burns slightly less but she still eats quite a lot. Riven, due to his super strength, tends to expend quite a bit of energy and needs to rest/eat a bit more than average, and Nova is technically eating for two (in a sense) so she eats a lot more and sleeps like the dead.

The MC won’t need to consume that much more food due to their wings as it slowly just becomes a part of your body— at first you’ll probably be a bit more peckish though due to them.

The Wardens are very well funded, correct.

[dead-ringer-if]

What relationship/sexual experience do the RO’s have?

From Most to Least (Sexual):

Morgan/Morgana > Damon/Diana = Camilo/Camila > Airan/Aira

From Most to Least (Relationship):

Airan/Aira > Damon/Diana = Camilo/Camila = Morgan/Morgana

—————————

Camilo/Camila: When it comes to sexual experience they’re not a complete newbie, but it’s not something they actively pursue. The same can be said when it comes to relationships— they’ve been so focused on training, on their work, that they’ve forgotten ignored everything else.

Airan/Aira: They’re fairly inexperienced. While they’ve had multiple romantic relationships in the past, they didn’t feel a strong enough connection with said individuals to go all the way with them. They’ve only actually done it once, and that’s with the person they thought was their first love.

Damon/Diana: They’re experienced when it comes to sex, but they tend to only do such acts when it comes to people they’re already committed to. Partially because they want something more than just sex, and because they’ve been burned one too many times in the past. The reason they’re the second on the list, even though they can be interchanged too, when it comes to romantic relationships is due to the fact that they tend to shy away from them— being used for their status more often than not has left them a little scarred when it comes to it.

Morgan/Morgana: They’re the most sexually experienced, which isn’t something they shy away from. When it comes to actual relationships? They’re not that experienced at all— it’s way out of their ballpark. They’re more of the type to “love” them and then leave them. They don’t do cuddling in bed, or dinner and a movie, or sweet pet names. It’s just not something that’s for them, not after everything that happened. You, of course, will change all of that for them.

RIP to Titan stumbling on a Titan/Peregrine fanfic thinking it's someone writing about those two going on a mission only to find out it ends in pure smut.

They wouldn’t be able to look at Peregrine for days after the fact 😂… poor baby. (Of course, in this instance Peregrine is 18+.)

I find it amusing to think about all of the pairings/ships the Wardens have among themselves, and all of the debates/arguments they have over them.

[dead-ringer-if]

Is there anything you can tell us about MC? Since they do have a slightly semi-set personality so I was wondering what their personality is and what other little facts we can know about them

The MC, as you probably know, is 28. You’ve worked within the Ruiz Manor for the last decade or so (take a few months), and have four friends within said Manor. You’ll meet all of them within the first chapter of Dead Ringer. I don’t want to share too much right away because I want you all to uncover it yourself, but I will say:

You can choose if your MC has dyed hair or not. (Which you’ll then be able to choose if you want to keep dying it later on. If not then you can let your natural hair grow out.) The reverse is true for the natural hair and if you’d like to dye it.

What I mean by semi-set personality is that the MC won’t be a psychopathic/malevolent individual or needlessly cruel. That type of person wouldn’t fit in with the base of the story in the slightest.

You’ll be able to pick some of the hobbies you’ve picked up in the last couple of years! I may even add some fears (like being scared of heights… which will be interesting).

I know this is the most basic information I can give you, but I promise I’ll expand more on it whenever the demo is actually out!

[dead-ringer-if]

How fast would the mc be able to fly with enough practice? I saw that peregrine falcons are the "fastest members in the animal kingdom".

Also, when their wings come in is it just instant or a gradual/growing thing? If it's the latter, will it hurt?

Hmmm… I haven’t actually decided the logistics of it yet, but what I think I’ll do is when the wings do come in you’ll be able to choose:

Larger wings— made for larger distances and a bit more sturdy when it comes to being used as a shield.

Medium wings— a happy medium, you’re not too slow but you’re not super fast either.

Smaller wings— made for gliding, but adds agility and a greater speed to your dives.

That can change, of course, but that’s my tentative plan as of right now. We’ll see what happens though!

The wings will be something you can make appear/disappear, and the first time you do that will be painful. It’s a completely new appendage that your body has to get used to, but as you continue to do it the pain diminishes greatly until there’s nothing at all.

[dead-ringer-if]

Saw the posts about Titans fan base being incredibly horny. Did Peregrine have a fan base and if so what were they like?

Peregrine did have a fan base, yes! It wasn’t super big, but it had a moderate size. Partially due to Peregrine being closely linked with Titan, but people started to really love Peregrine as the years went on. It was a heavy loss— people still make fan art of Peregrine in memory. Peregrine’s fan base was sweet and supportive— a lot of them were avid bird lovers and they’d have debates on how many bird species Peregrine could actually speak with or if it’s just limited to falcons (it’s all of them).

One of the most popular pieces of fan art had Peregrine on Titan’s shoulders because of a kitten stuck in a tree, and Peregrine wanted to help out (which Titan let them do, despite it being easier if they simply got the kitten down). The mission was successful, but a local newspaper was able to get a snapshot of the moment and it made the rounds on the fan community— inspiring a lot of art.

I like the story concept😗😗😗🥰💖💖

Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[dead-ringer-if]

can we get more facts about titan pls 🥺 and how are they when they are in a relationship :3

General Facts:

Titan doesn’t have a biological family. At least one that they’re willing to talk about. However, they were “adopted” by a loving older couple that showed them the meaning of what family actually is. Were they in their twenties when said unofficial adoption occurred? Yes.

It took Titan until they were 34 to realize that people were “thirsting” after them. They thought that people who wanted them to be their mommy/daddy wanted to be adopted by them (like they were taken in by their unofficial parents). Athena was the one that broke the news to them that, that’s not what they wanted at all. (They still haven’t recovered from going onto one of their fan community posts…)

Was born in “The Deep”, a sector of New York City that The Scourge put semi-underwater. Through innovation, lots of bridges, and an affinity to water, the people of The Deep have thrived.

Spicy food doesn’t affect them in the slightest, neither does sour/bitter food. Many believe it’s because of their powers, but it’s actually because Titan is a fiend for those types of food (and it’s also because of their powers).

There most prized possession is an old teddy bear— that has half its left ear missing, a button for an eye, and a slightly gray hue to parts of its body (due to ash/smoke). Because it’s from the first person they ever rescued; a little girl that had given them Mr. Bubbles in thanks.

Relationship Facts:

They’re very attentive. Will always try to make sure that you have what you need, and will always try to be there for you when you need it.

They’re a complete cuddle bug— they love wrapping their arms around you, pulling you close against their chest, and placing little kisses to your forehead or nose. If you’re not into that? That’s completely fine too. As long as they’re near you, they’re okay.

Prepare to be lifted at random times— whether it’s into a hug or because of something else— Titan has a habit of doing it.

Will take you on romantic dates— whether that be a moonlit picnic on top of a building that’s only available due to their powers, or just a fun day in the sun on a beach or something. It’ll never measure up to how happy you make them, but they can certainly try.

Is oblivious at times to how people react to them, which means that if you go out together and the place goes silent (probably because of Titan) they’ll completely think it’s because of you. Which means they’ll get a happy grin on their lips, slightly puff out their chest, and wrap an arm around your waist or shoulders, happier than a kid in a candy store.

I'm glad. Almost all [TBA] IFs I've been following have either been removed or authors have become inactive after a few weeks-months. So, you know, now I'm skeptical of every new one that will appear.

I can understand that. Of course, I can’t speak for anyone except myself, but I think there can be any number of things that could result in that:

Wanting to share the idea, enjoying the concept of creating a world and characters, but not being able to actively make said things a reality, which I can completely sympathize with. Writing can be hard, and tedious, at the best/worst of times.

I’ve heard that some people simply share them to get engagement but they don’t actively want to make an IF, which is something I don’t quite understand but people are a conundrum in itself.

Some people, like me, just get too excited to share their world/characters and “jump the gun” a bit when sharing the intro post. In my case, I just got too excited not to share something, and I finally decided to just do it.

Some people fall in love with the idea of an IF, with the world, the characters, and everything included, but don’t necessarily realize the true scope of what it means, which can be quite daunting for “newer” writers (and I put newer in quotes because they could be experienced writers, just experienced IF writers).

The potential lack of engagement in general could be a deterrent— even if it’s a dual edged sword. The lack of people showing interest in the concept could make an author not want to pursue said concept, but the lack of content can dissuade readers from wanting to interact with said content because it might be taken away. It’s a slippery slope.

Or, simply put, they get brain rot for an idea, want nothing more than to share it and interact with people about said brain rot, but grow out of their love for it. It’s unfortunate, and it sucks for the people that become excited about it, but it happens.

If I sound holier than thou in my explanations I truly don’t mean to be. That’s just my thoughts and opinions from what I’ve witnessed/have been told about the entire thing— if my ramblings don’t make sense feel free to ignore them! I don’t mind if people don’t wish to engage with my story until the demo is out! You’re completely in your right to do so— especially if you’ve been burned one too many times when it involves TBA Demos.

I hope that when the demo for Dead Ringer comes out you enjoy it! If not that’s completely fine too and I hope you find stories that fit better with your personal wants!

Thank you for sending this to me regardless.

[dead-ringer-if]

is titan immortal? 👀

That’s actually something that’s caused heated debates among the fan community (yes heroes do have their own fan clubs/community boards— like Reddit). Some people think that they are, some people think that they aren’t and they all share theories as to why that is.

It’s something that Titan has never actually elaborated on. Partially because they don’t know themself. They have a way to figure it out but they don’t want to deal with all of the things that’d involve.

[dead-ringer-if]

i cant contain my excitement! the moment i started reading your intro post, i just knew i was gonna be closely watching your blog. all the romance options are so good. i cant possibly choose! a masterpiece! im not gonna be able to sleep now and all ill be thinkin is this IF.

Thank you so much!

I’ve been wanting to share Dead Ringer for a bit, but I wanted to get a bit further into the prologue before I shared it. Since I’m almost done I got excited and decided to share it a little earlier. I’m awed that I already have people interested in it! I can’t wait for you to discover the world and the story. I had a blast designing the cast and now I’d like them to impact the long haul story, and I think they’ll be moments down the line that’ll be well worth it. I think anyway.

Thank you for sending this message to me. Because you all have been so nice to me, I wanted to share a bit of the prologue with you. It’s only a small dialogue moment, but it’s with Titan. So, I hope that makes up for how short it. 😂

[dead-ringer-if]

Another one that will be deleted after a few weeks? :/

I’m sorry? I don’t have any plans to delete Dead Ringer, I just wanted to share the pinned post as I’m almost completed with the Prologue and was too excited to not share something about it.

God, an Avian-like MC...

It is giving me major flashbacks to a series I got into when I was a teenager, the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson, about a group of youngsters with wings who escape from their captors.

Although apparently it really went downhill in the long run so I guess it's a good thing I only read the first two books, lol. But now I'll have to name my MC Max.

I thought it’d be an interesting concept, I was also amused by the parallel (somewhat) of if Superman/Wonder Woman (who Titan is inspired by, power wise anyway) had Robin as their sidekick, which is where the bird powers came from.

Maximum Ride is a series I’ve heard of, but I’ve never actually gotten around to reading them. The only James Patterson series I can remember reading, and enjoying, is the Witch and Wizard series.

In any case I think Max is a wonderful name for your MC!

[dead-ringer-if]

What kind of power we can have? Love the ideas and can’t wait for your demo!

I got my eyes on Titan 👀

The MCs powers are widely centered around Avians (birds). Though your signature has to do with falcons, hence the name Peregrine.

Enhanced hearing/eyesight.

The ability to interact and speak with birds.

Increased agility.

However the newest power, that wasn’t part of the Peregrine’s arsenal before are:

Wings, the ability to sprout wings from your back. (You’ll be able to design said wings.) However, you’ll need to get used to them and they can take a lot of energy out of you.

Grow talon like claws that are razor sharp.

I’m glad you like Titan! They definitely have an interesting character arc that I’m excited to get into. I can’t wait to share the first part of the demo with you all (it’s almost completed— I think it’ll be out by the middle of August).
