✶ FOR PLOTTING. Please pm me if you're interested in plotting with me. You don't need to do brackets because I don't really write in personal PMs (I use group PMs for threads), but you can if that is your preference. Also, I honestly don't like plotting a lot so please approach me with something in mind (even if it's totally random) that we can work with. It doesn't have to pertain to my muse and can just be something you want to write here in the rp, but do try to keep my muse in mind before suggesting anything plot-wise.
✶ TIME ZONE & PACE. My time zone is GMT-7 and I'm generally slow to reply most of the time. I am just getting back into the swing of RP after being away for a while, so I may be even slower. Do not rp with me if that will be a problem. Also, on the off chance that I respond in like an hour (because that does happen sometimes), don't feel pressured to respond as fast. I might just be inspired at that time.
✶ OOC AGE & MATURE THREADS. Mun and muse are both of age (21+) and I am open to NSFW threads for my muse as long as they are not in a closed relationship and my muse has that kind of chemistry with the other muse in question.
✶ WRITING STYLE. I primarily do para to multipara in 1st person for self-paras and 3rd person for threads with other people. I can do novella when prompted, but prefer not to because of how busy I am normally. I can also do script (in 3rd person), but I'm not used to it anymore.
✶ GENRE LIMITS. The main thing I won't really do off rip is angst (not really into it), but I also prefer not to do pre-plotted romantic relationships unless they are not long-term and not official. Those that are just for the sake of the plot or plot-relevant are fine with me. Chemistry is a big proponent in both romantic and ual relationships for me, so please keep that in mind when suggesting plots and things.
✶ TAGGING. Please tag my muses in all public threads yours may have with them. Let me know if you have open starters or are planning some as well so I can potentially reply to those.
✶ BIG NO-NOS. Do not poke me or remind me to reply. Like, at all. Please also refrain from mixing IC or OOC with me. I am not my muse and my muse is not me. Do not hold anything my muse does to yours against me personally.

recalling
history
✶ ⁞ What's past is prologue.
✶ NOTICE. This is the sparknotes version of the bio basically. Will update as I can. Also, TW/CW because there is/are mentions of drug use, trauma, and abuse in his bio.
- He doesn’t remember life past the age of 14.
- This is because he mentally blocked out a lot of his rough upbringing.
- Infancy to Early Teens: Born on an island and into poverty, he had to steal for survival. His nimble fingers allowed him to not only become a notoriously elusive thief, but also a skilled treasure hunter who scavenges ruins and frequently strikes gold. What he found often wasn’t what he really wanted, though, no matter how expensive a specific item would be. No, what he wanted was a sign that he had a purpose. That he mattered and that he belonged somewhere. Because of this, he’d initially sell his finds to the black markets. And just as he thought he found his purpose in this, everything went wrong.
From there, he got recruited by a pirate gang called the Calicos that subjected him to a life of cruelty and military-like training at such a young age. He did any and everything they made him. No questions asked. Even if it meant death... This was the only life he knew until a fateful ship takeover gone horrible took place and ended in him washing ashore at Verona around the age of 14. He was found by a couple who took him to an orphanage and that became the only thing he remembered since arriving in Verona.- From ages 14 to 16, he lived a fairly calmer life at the orphanage. Attended school for the first time too, but this didn't last long.
- Around age 16, the orphanage decided to take the kids on a trip to watch a traveling circus troupe. It is there that he became enamored with the performers and began aspiring to be one himself. He had the skills due to his upbringing, so he boldly asked about joining and the Ringmaster humored him, letting him try out.
- He was accepted into the circus as an acrobat and general performer, learning other tricks like firebreathing, ring tossing, etc. over time as well. His goal was to be a jack of all trades so he would have more value as a member of the troupe and always have something to do. He also acted as a stand in because of this.
- It is here where he got his name, Ciro, but he went by "Sunburst" (subject to change) in the troupe.
- Shortly after joining, the troupe starts making its way to France so that they could join for Cirque Medrano—a famous and internationally known circus. This is where he realizes that this may be his calling and feels a sense of purpose for the first time. He feels as though this is a step in the right direction. It is also there that one of the montagues (maybe one of the skeletons? Romeo since they’re canonically friends? idk) happened to invest in Cirque Medrano and took a liking to Ciro, the newcomer. They also happened to catch him in a moment of weakness backstage/they knew about his origins and they blackmailed him joining the Montague Famiglia because they just had to have him at their disposal. They made him into a drug mule and from there he moved his way up the ranks. And now, much to his dismay, he is one of the more respected members of the Montagues. He doesn't complain about it, but if he were truthful, he never wanted this for himself. He feels as though he abandoned his dreams of being a professional performer, but he still makes the most of life and still does what he can to have fun (sometimes at the expense of others).
- The Montagues got him hooked on a drug called "black sun" and that's part of why he is the way he is, but he's really just a product of the environment they placed him in.
- Black Sun: Gets its name from the withdrawal symptoms (intense burning in your veins) and from it turning your blood black temporarily. It functions something akin to injectable MDMA and LSD. (Will add more info on the drug later.)
- He is no longer on the drug, and doesn't want to get back on it because he doesn't like what it does to him for obvious reasons, but also because it would remind him of where he came from.
- From age 16 to 22, he worked as a performer in Cirque Medrano. After that is when he was recruited by the Montague Famiglia and he's been working with them since. (Been about 10 years now.)

a peek at their
personality
✶ NOTICE. His personality is very slightly inconsistent due to his status and origins. While changes occur, they are infrequent and do not last long for he's committed to playing his part.
MBTI — INTP-A
INTPs are philosophical innovators, fascinated by logical analysis, systems, and design. They are preoccupied with theory, and search for the universal law behind everything they see. They want to understand the unifying themes of life, in all their complexity.
INTPs are detached, analytical observers who can seem oblivious to the world around them because they are so deeply absorbed in thought. They spend much of their time focused internally: exploring concepts, making connections, and seeking understanding. To the Architect, life is an ongoing inquiry into the mysteries of the universe.

❛ ✶ OUTWARD MBTI — ESTP. ❜
ESTPs are often natural athletes; they easily navigate their physical environment and are typically highly coordinated. They like to use this physical aptitude in the pursuit of excitement and adventure, and they often enjoy putting their skills to the test in risky or even dangerous activities.
The ESTP's focus is action in the moment. They are engaged with their environments and solve practical problems quickly. ESTPs are excellent in emergencies, when they can apply their logical reasoning to situations where immediate action is necessary. Long-term goals are less interesting to the ESTP, who prefers to see tangible results in the moment.
The first thing you notice about the ESTP is likely to be their energy. They’re often chatting, joking, and flirting with friends and strangers alike. They enjoy engaging playfully with others and amusing everyone around them with their irreverent sense of humor. They tend to keep people on their toes, never quite knowing what the ESTP will poke fun at next. ESTPs are unabashedly gregarious with people, but their interest in individuals may not last long; they are more likely to work a room, having a laugh with everyone, than they are to engage in depth with any one person.
ESTPs are comfortable in their physical environment and always looking for some action or activity. They tend to be the most naturally coordinated of all the types and are often found playing sports or engaging in various physical activities, especially ones with an element of danger. They are the stereotypical “adrenaline junkies” and may be found skydiving, motorcycle racing, or enjoying other extreme sports.
Moral Alignment — Chaotic Neutral
A chaotic neutral character follows his whims. He is an individualist first and last. He values his own liberty but doesn't strive to protect others' freedom. He avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions. A chaotic neutral character does not intentionally disrupt organizations as part of a campaign of anarchy. To do so, he would have to be motivated either by good (and a desire to liberate others) or evil (and a desire to make those different from himself suffer). A chaotic neutral character may be unpredictable, but his behavior is not totally random. He is not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it. Chaotic neutral is the best alignment you can be because it represents true freedom from both society's restrictions and a do-gooder's zeal. However, chaotic neutral can be a dangerous alignment when it seeks to eliminate all authority, harmony, and order in society.
