general
this is a selective rp blog of a character from a dnd campaign played on dimension 20. kp hob was canonically played by brennan lee mulligan, who also created kp. as much as i wish i had made him, i did not, and i do not take credit for that or his canon. kp is, however, my favorite fictional character, and so i will be creating headcanons and taking him in my own direction in certain ways.

selectivity
i consider myself highly selective when it comes to following. this is because i read rules, all other pages, and check blogs for writing and certain things that i may deem unfit for me to follow. this should not be taken personally, sometimes people don't click, and that's okay. that being said, i don't have incredibly high standards. if you've been active recently and i see writing on your blog, as well nothing problematic on my look through your pages, then i'll most likely follow!
—————— ✦ ——————
memes & starter calls
memes are the best way to interact with me. i use answered memes as a way of making staters, so they are always welcome to be continued, if you're feeling it. i will post the occasional starter call, but i am not great at finishing them, so i try not to post them too often. i welcome memes as well as any unprompted asks! anon is permanently off.

plotting
i often prefer plotting over 'winging it', even if it's just to get an idea started. pre established relationships are also a preference of mine, so discussing ships ( of any kind ) is always something i love doing. i will post shipping / dynamics calls sporadically, and all mutuals are free to like these posts.
writing speed
i'd say i have a fairly quick turn around when it comes to replies, though i do tend to jump around from blog to blog, which could leave drafts piling up. sometimes i'll use a queue, and sometimes i'll do several replies, one after the other. if you're still waiting on a reply after several weeks, feel free to ask me about it - it's probably sitting in my drafts.
—————— ✦ ——————
mains & exclusives
i do practice mains and exclusives / ship exclusives. mains are common for me, but exclusives will take a lot of plotting and connection between us muns. if you're interested in being mains / exclusvies, just ask!
—————— ✦ ——————
shipping
the main ship on this blog is kp / rue, which is hob's canonical pairing. that being said, i am not single ship. shipping is open to those interested, and can span across all verses. feel free to like shipping calls or come into my ims if you'd like to ship.

triggers
triggers that are common to kp's canon include: mentions of ptsd, war / the military, canon typical violence such as fighting with weapons, and dnd / fantasy related weaponry. if you need anything tagged, please im me. my triggers are clowns and eye trauma, so please tag accordingly!

formatting
i tend to use simple formatting. i use regular font and have completely stopped using small text due to my eye sight. if you need me to change anything about my formatting, just ask!

powers & skills
MILITARY PROWESS ✦ having started as a soldier and working his way up to captain ( and, later, promoted to major ), kp has high standing in the goblin court's military, and thus, has a respected position amongst the men he looks after. he is a renowned veteran, known not just in the goblin kingdom, but far beyond its walls, making him a fun topic of conversation at parties.BATTLE STRATEGY ✦ known for his cunning ploys and strategic plays on the battlefield, hob has won wars with his maps of matstery, giving precise orders to those serving below him, thus continuously leading the military into victory. the goblin court has not lost a battle in a millennia, thanks to hob's leadership.LOGICAL THINKING ✦ under stress, hob does not cower, often even working better under harsh conditions. in difficult endeavors, when hard choices are needed to be quickly made, hob does not falter. he can keep his cool even in the worst of times, and his calmness tends to rub off on those around him.
WEAPON MASTERY ✦ as an officer, hob mastered many weapons, ranging from short and long swords, to crossbows, to a clubs and staffs. his preferred weapon is the halberd, and to others, he is known to be the beast who is best with this weapon. this is the weapon he takes into war with him.RAGE ✦ when he becomes angry in battle, kp will enter into his rage, causing the beast to grow several sizes, his strength increasing due to adrenaline. he is more powerful, and his skin is harder to penetrate during this state. he must enter and exit his rage when necessary.KINDNESS ✦ perhaps his best skill, kp hob has a big heart. he is always willing to help others. his mission and purpose in life is to serve those around him, often forgetting to take care of himself in the process. from his fellow fey to the small and big creatures that walk the earth, kp will do his best to ensure that everyone has the help that they need - he doesn't want anyone to feel like they're alone in this world.
