ooc ★
Backtagging: Always okay! Feel free to poke me after a week if you'd like to keep a thread going.
Threadjacking: Normally okay, but please ask ooc first if the thread in question seems serious.
Fourthwalling: Absolutely! Dio will find the concept of universes where he is a fictional character very interesting.
Off-limits: I really dislike heavy descriptions of eye gore, teeth-pulling and de-gloving. They can happen in threads, would just prefer they are brief. Otherwise I have no limits I'm aware of.
Shipping: Sure! It may not be a healthy relationship, but I'm always down to be nasty as long as the players are having fun.
Tag style: I default to brackets but I'll match my thread partners.
ic ★
Hugging/Kissing: He has no specific issues with either, and may reciprocate depending on his mood, but rarely seeks them out.
Flirting: Absolutely! He will probably flirt back, especially with women. Please stroke his ego.
Romance: Dio isn't particularly interested in romance, but does enjoy intimacy and would likely be fascinated by someone who actively pursues him. I play him as bisexual, without a strong leaning but an awareness that women are more socially acceptable partners in his time.
Fighting: Absolutely! Dio is petty, aggressive and sociopathic, so he's likely to hold a grudge after fights even if he wins. But he loves fighting.
Injury: Yes! Please plot with me if you're planning a major injury, just for the sake of continuity in future threads.
Death: Also okay! Just let me know ahead of time so I can plan accordingly.
info / cliff notes ★
Dio was a 20-year old law student in 1880s England, before he turned himself into a vampire for the express purpose of killing his adoptive brother. And also shedding his worthless mortality, becoming a higher being etc, but the first priority was killing Jonathan. Because of circumstances, Dio was decapitated, and cut off Jonathan's head in order to steal his body, which he's been using for the last few weeks. Unfortunately he has also been trapped at the bottom of the ocean, locked inside a coffin with no plan of how to get back to the surface. But he can't die in there, and doesn't need to breathe, so he's just stuck.
I'm playing him from about three weeks after Phantom Blood, during which time he's essentially been stuck in a sensory deprivation chamber and slowly losing his mind. Canonically he'll be stuck in there for about a century so he's nowhere near as messed up from it as he will be, but his social skills are a little rusty since even before the coffin he had gotten used to being able to threaten and mind-control his way into getting whatever he wants.

Dio is a sociopath, with a consistent disregard for human life or the feelings of those around him. He also hates animals, particularly dogs, and will go out of his way to harm them as punishment for existing. This means that there's a high chance of interactions with him turning violent and confrontational, but he also values having a good reputation and is willing and able to put on a friendly face for that goal. If you'd like to interact with Dio and shy away from his more sadistic tendencies, I can work with that! But if you'd rather not interact with Dio at all, that is also a-okay. Just PM this account to let me know (or PP me at
necromantica) - player comfort is my primary focus when I'm playing terrible people.
