Name: Omega
Contact: I don't keep a Plurk, so you can PM this journal or add me on Discord over at baelful#5883.
Time Zone: EST; I'm a Canuck.
Interests: Mecha, writing (obviously), animanga (not as much these days), and anything sci-fi, really.
TL;DR I used to play Roy Mustang over at Fasti, then Life Happened and I had to take a break. But here I am again! Super excited to play with everyone. I'm also super chatty, so hit me up anytime—I'll talk your ear off, given the chance. Mostly about robots. Robots are cool.

Character Name: McGillis Fareed
Canon: Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans
A5 Card: Here; I'll be subbing out "fisting" and "consent play" but everything else is accurate.
TL;DR: McGillis is... well, he's a son of a bitch. He's the main antagonist of his canon and generally up to no good. If you're familiar with Light Yagami, that's basically McGillis, except in space. He's a charming man on the surface, but an absolute schemer underneath. So if you're hankering for some delicious, villainous CR, look no further! Although he has a softer side, and he's not completely evil. Just undeniably corrupt. He comes with a super cool Gundam if you're into that, and he's pretty friendly when he's not busy plotting the forced reformation (read: mass murder) of the entire world, so give him a shot...? He's gay, but I'm 100% open to gen CR across the board. You'll often see him in the company of our Vidar, his homoerotic rival for life. And just brooding.

You can find McGillis permission's page here, along with lots of helpful info. Don't forget to check out his opt-out, since a few content warnings apply here.

i've been waiting ages to say i'm mclovin' our thread
i'm sorry if you get that joke a lot

[mcvillain]

BAH DAH BAH BAH BAAAAAH

I'M KILLING IT

[mcvillain]

I mean yes, hello. 10/10 thread, would tag again. And will tag again. Also I'm adding you on the discos so you gotta deal with it.

[ruggie]

wow! wow, forceful! iyaa~n!
Anyways, I'm one of those people that's invisible 99% of the time of Discord so feel free to drop me a line whenever and I'll reply when I roll out of bed/off the couch/stop staring blankly into space with no sense of time.

[mcvillain]

My tags are moving on their own...!

Aaaand added, will do. Would you prefer to keep the thread on the TDM, or move it to logs? Up to you.

[ruggie]

I'll hit it up again in a lil' bit! I'm gonna wait on starting the IC mingle until I've got a few more TDM things wrapped up or maybe another wave of app acceptances.

🔫🤔

[mcvillain]

Yo remember the part in the show where I fuckin' died.

HAHA YEAH NEITHER DO I, SUCK IT.

[automatized]

wow you want your book torn apart???? is that your kink???? dog eared pages???? doodles??? missing table of contents????

[mcvillain]

...I wonder if the mods will qualify that as humiliation kink. Asking the real questions over here.

[automatized]

honestly would argue yes. make an essay. if it needs a sex act vidar can cum on it just to spite him nbd

[photog]

ah, mcginnis we meet again c:

[mcvillain]

You're never living that down, gomen nasorry.

I am very much looking forward to Prompto and McGinnis McGillis repopulating the world with chocobos. I wonder if "tenderly riding a big bird together while holding hands" qualifies as a kink.

[photog]

this is my life and i've accepted it

but absolutely. they're going to bang until the birds come home to roost, if that's what it takes. it just simply has to be done.

also, depending on your perspective, bareback riding is probably somewhere there on the list

[mcvillain]

I'm just laughing that you "accidentally" tagged the Big Bad but hey, it worked out for the best. Sort of.

You're welcome to add me on The Disco if you wish. And I was going to ask if you wanted to move our current thread into a proper log or if you're good as-is.

[photog]

i thOUGHT MY DAYS OF BEING AN ARDYN FUCKER WERE OVER.

sure, i'll send over a friend request so i stop embarrassing myself over villainous makeouts in public

we can also! move to a log if you'd like. excuse him, he's just a little emotionally stilted at someone asking him what he wants; this isn't usual

[recordingends]

I'd very much like for these two to run into each other again.

[mcvillain]

Hello, hello again, friend! I'd very much like for these two to run into each other again too, I think they had great chemistry. I'll hit your permissions page in a sec, since that seemed to be important.

My initial idea was actually to have Jon poke around McGillis' Gundam - it's said to be haunted by a human soul, so I feel like that would ping him in a pretty distinctive way. Two questions for you:

1. I see that Jon leans more towards the asexual end of the spectrum. Would you prefer to keep things gen, for the time being, or were you interested in pushing him a bit? Boundaries are important to me so I want to respect you and the character arc you've planned. McGillis can be pushy, but will absolutely lay off in the interest of consent.

2. I'm noooot 100% sure if Jon would naturally be hanging around the hangar. Any ideas for how to get him there? And I'm open to other things too.

[recordingends]

Definitely take a peek at his opt-in/opt-out. Jon will be curious about a haunted Gundam and he could confirm/deny that for McGillis if he wants to know.

1) I'm definitely interested in pushing him; he's on that end of the spectrum but isn't sex-repulsed. He just never really thinks about it as a thing to want to do. I think building up CR will also help with boundary pushing, too. He's going to have to work on that bingo card eventually!

2) probably not but I've got an open TL for him here if we want them to run into each other again and the more he gets to know people, the more he's likely to seek them out. As McGillis becomes a familiar face, he'll hang on to that. Especially since he seems to respect consent so much. And giant mecha sound cool?

[mcvillain]

Got it, thanks for the info. Let's keep Gundam-san in our back pocket, and McGillis can always always invite him along at a later date. I'll hit your top level too in just a bit!

His Gundam is actually named after a demon, and that soul is of a dead man from hundreds of years ago. Spoooky!
