unmmertime; a season associated with clear skies and hot days in the shade. Ilseong was born late into the night, a starry sky draped over the roof of the Jang Estate to welcome the firstborn of the then Duke and Duchess. However, he was not the firstborn of the family... for the Jang House was one that bred cruelty. And how does a child learn to love in such an environment? 

The Duchess was poising her firstborn to claim the title of Duke, once his father would pass. Being taught by some of the best teachers one could buy, given extensive ettiquite lessons, and rigorous military training. The young boy was sharp, elegant, and effortlessly charming. 

And just like that. The title that was rightfully his - taken from him by his older half brother. He began to resent his family even more because his mother now began to regard him as incompetent. Although, this period did not last long as without warning, Jang Hyukjae had vanished under mysterious circumstances. The dowager duchess was unfazed by the eldest's disapperance, quickly proceeding with installing Ilseong as the rightful duke. As it was meant to be. 

It was during his time in the military that helped to give him another sense of self. He was already respected from his family's history and rose through the ranks. While he was not the best at being on the frontlines directly, he was very skilled in strategy and giving orders, even taking up scouting with a hawk to survey the land. Ilseong's sharp eye and use of birds of prey earned him the moniker of The Golden Feather, taken from the golden tags used to mark his birds. 

And to think "love is a battlefield" used to be a cliche.

Not only did the young man thrive in the military, he also began to understand his own feelings much better. His first love...another young man he had grown close to. Many nights they shared, staring up at the night sky, talking about their families and plans for the future. No formal declarations of love were expressed, but it was evident their bond was something much deeper than friendship or camraderie. 

For a time, Ilseong's life was almost peaceful. He would hunt during the days. enjoy drinks with his friends at night. He would tend to his falcons and hawks. Only real burden was avoiding the Dowager Duchess' sharp words and harsh judgement on how he wasn't taking his responsibilities seriously. Whenever he had military assignments, he would happily leave - to be around the people he most felt like himself. But all good things must come to an end.

ENTP - The Debater. Quick-witted and audacious, people with the ENTP personality type (Debaters) aren’t afraid to disagree with the status quo. In fact, they’re not afraid to disagree with pretty much anything or anyone. Few things light up these personalities more than a bit of verbal sparring – and if the conversation veers into controversial terrain, so much the better. It would be a mistake, though, to think of ENTPs as disagreeable or mean-spirited. Instead, people with this personality type are knowledgeable and curious with a playful sense of humor, and they can be incredibly entertaining. They simply have an offbeat, contrarian idea of fun – one that usually involves a healthy dose of spirited debate。

their likes.

Fine clothing, his falcons and hawks, being away from the Jang Estate, the company of attractive people, playful debates and ribbing, having drinks by the fire。

Before You Approach Me

•.*★ important。You can call me Rei, Moto, Mami, Motormother, or just by my character's name. I'm in my mid 20s. threads are a-ok with me; plotted and unplotted. Long as we keep them in appropriate spaces (DMs, mature rooms where it's allowed), is fine with me! Also long term romantic/endgame connections aren't required to write a mature thread with Ilseong. 

Writing & Plotting Style

•.*★ writing style。I will generally tend to mirror the writing of whoever my partner is. So if you prefer semi-para, I'll do my best to match that. If you prefer full paragraphs/novella, I can mirror that too.

•.*★ plotting style。I'm more than okay with more detailed plots, with more spur of the moment meetings, and love deep long term connections. Just DM me if you're interested in any of my connections + plots, or if you want to pitch one! 

•.*★ limits。Only genre I do not enjoy writing is anything involving actual fighting (other forms of physical violence are okay, with something agreed upon beforehand). Always plot out angst, drama, or things with potential triggers just in case I'm not in the right headspace for it.

Activity & Reply Speed

•.*★ no nos。 Assuming rei = the character. Being petty or shady. Multiple reminders about replying within a short span of time. Doing something ed up midplot without talking to me first. I can, and will, straight up avoid interacting with you if you do these things. Do not mistake my kindness and easygoingness for being a doormat! If there's any concerns, I prefer trying to talk one on one to work things out so that both parties can come to an understanding. I don't bite! I'm human, you're human. 

My timezone is GMT -4 (EST in the US) and I work a full time job with an inconsistent schedule, often consisting of nights and weekends. Because of that, my replies may be sporadic and sometimes, I do lose muse. As for reminders, do feel free to remind me if I haven't replied after 2 weeks!

Location Preferences

Given the roleplay's format, I would generally prefer to write in rooms. However, if we have a plot that veers into (or is from the get go) and you aren't comfortable with in a rated room, we can make a group pm. Nothing on walls.
