you know where i'm coming from.
though i am running to you,
all i feel is deny, deny, denial.

i wanted to be a better brother, better son,
wanted to be a better adversary to the evil i have done.

i have none to show to the one i love
but deny, deny, denial.

play guide.

the birds have left their trees
the light pours onto me.

rules.

ooc.

21+ only, please.
I will not do noncon, one-shots or ERP in general. People get weird, man. Don't be weird. I'm fine with the build up but it will be faded at some point.
IC is not OOC, should go without saying honestly.
If issues of any sort ever come up, please come to me. I'm pretty tame and I would rather have the awkward conversation than allow negative feelings to fester, even if I was originally oblivious to them. This is supposed to be fun for everyone and that can't happen without proper communication. <3

Hi, hello! I'm 30+, married and have been RPing for over 20 years.Large crowds and new people make me anxious but I absolutely love walkups!Prone to random afks.

i can feel you lying there all on your own,

we got here the hard way.

all those words that we exchange,
is it any wonder things get dark?.

personality. Deafened while trying to save his brother, the blowback left him struggling to live with a dangerous empathic ability that he cannot fully control.Wary of touch and hyper-aware of others' feelings, Mercer is reserved and introspective, often observing others rather than engaging. Although distant, he is deeply compassionate beneath the guarded exterior and his silence isn't a cold one - it's deliberate, protective.He is, at his core, a protector haunted by intimacy, trying to atone for the past without losing himself to the powers that made him what he is.

headcanon one. He often mirrors other's breathing and posture unconsciously, a side effect of being emotionally attuned, even when he doesn't want to be.headcanon two. He enjoys tactile crafts, anything that gives his hands a feeling of purpose without danger.headcanon three. Often times he's seen writing in a bound journal that is overflowing with letters unsent to his brother.headcanon four. It is common for Mercer to leave a room without announcing his departure, usually when the excitement of others gets to be a little too much for him.headcanon five. He still enjoys playing the cello, though it is very personal. The low resonance of the strings against his chest, the vibrations through the floor and the bow, connect him to something grounding and alive.

but ones never gonna let go of that wire.
