Important Information

In order to be the best RPer I can be, I have set up a list of reference information, almost like an FAQ. This will be especially helpful to anyone who has never RPed with me before!

• Setting: this is important to point out because I dislike when I am holding a conversation with someone and I do not know the setting! So, speaking with Milo on dash (i.e. sending an ask) without a pre-planned setting is never in Atlantis. It’s not the sort of place one can just sort of… wander into. So usually I say it as when I’m on dash, Milo is visiting this general “surface” area of whitespace, where we are all set (again, unless there is a preplanned setting.) This is how characters from other places and time periods are able to interact with one another, basically by all stepping into this interdimensionary plane. 
• Appearance: This may be a silly detail, but it’s also a valid point to know what Milo looks like when you’re trying to talk to him! He typically wears what you see him in at the beginning of the first movie: button-up shirt, vest, slacks, and sometimes the bowtie, though not always. In Atlantis, he wears his Atlantean tunic (see side picture) but he changes when visiting either this general space of meeting people (as explained above) or while simply on the surface.
• Prior plots: a good place to look to see what Milo has going on at the moment is current status, and under current plotlines is a specific list of RPs. I don’t update regularly, but it may give you a good idea all the same. My Milo is married to Kida, but I am not accepting a roleplayer for her for various reasons. This post is about a time when I attempted a change, but it also offers some details as to these reasons.
• Blog features: If you are interested in knowing everything I am here to offer,  the navigation page is worth the look!
• Activity: I am generally on every evening, EST time, and occasionally I pop in and out through the day. However, I am an extremely busy person and there are times that I can’t get on or the time I do have is too intermittent or simply insufficient to do very much. If I know I am going to be gone for some time, I post a hiatus warning, though I am a bit too stubborn to do that sometimes, hah. This means that sometimes my RPs drag out, but I want to let everyone know that I never ignore an RP and I love to RP with anyone, so please don’t be offended or think I am not interested if that happens.
• Who I RP With: On that note, Milo is not shy, but he is a reserved person and usually will not approach someone without invitation, so starting RPs is difficult for me. With that in mind, by all means, come to Milo! Even if you only say you just… bump into him, somehow, Milo finds a way to hold conversation. Feel free to bug him, he’s a wonderfully good-natured person. 
• Tagging: I try to tag all conversations with the URL of the person I am talking to, or otherwise name the RP. So, if you are wondering if I perhaps replied to a message or RP of yours, you can just search your name to see posts directed at you. Dashed tags can’t be searched or tracked though, so I try (keep word, try, hah) to remember to enter it with spaces instead of dashes, so keep that in mind! I will also try to send a private message to your ask if I haven’t been on in awhile and I reply, or if I can see you aren’t on. Feel free to send me a reminding message as well if I haven’t replied! 
• OOC Posts: I avoid posting anything OOC as much as I possibly can unless it pertains to the running of the blog or certain interactions with other DFD-ers, and here is the main reason why -  the point is for you to believe I am Milo. It’s just like in acting; I don’t want to ruin the illusion, if I can help it, since this is his place. And I don’t always maintain the perfect mystery, I know, but I try. Read this post for a little more information about it and me. And hey, if you do want to talk to me, private message me or request my personal!
