• LAST UPDATED: JULY 2016
• This is a basic overview of my rules, giving you the 'need-to-knows'. To read the whole, more detailed list, see here.
IMPORTANT: BLOG WILL BE ARCHIVED & MOVING SOON. URL WILL REMAIN THE SAME. A POST WILL BE MADE ANNOUNCING WHEN THIS HAPPENS.
• Independent. Selective. Private. Roleplays with MUTUALS ONLY.
• Multi-everything (ship, verse, fandom, etc). Open to pretty much all pairings. Loves AUs & crossovers, but more likely to RP within fandoms I am familiar with.
• Open to M!As selectively. Questions & curious anons are always welcome!
• I have no triggers, but I do tag some of them that might not be expected by this blog. (I don't tag violence or blood, for example, as these would be expected / commonplace here.) But rape, abuse, gore, etc. I'll tag. If you want something tagged let me know.
• Portrayal is mainly movie-based with comic elements. CANON-DIVERGENT. Clint does not follow Marvel canon 100%. Read his info for specific details.
• Clint's family in AOU does not exist in his main verse / timeline. I have a separate verse for Marvel's version of his 'canon'. But elsewhere he does not have a wife, or kids.
• I don't send RP passwords or the like. Me following you = I've read your rules. Always.
• OC-selective (highly so), but still open to RPing with them. You MUST have a detailed about/bio & rules page however.
• NOT rule!63 muse friendly. I have no interest in RPing with genderbends, sex-swaps, etc.
• No godmodding, powerplaying, metagaming, etc. No anon hate, OOC drama or guilt tripping. Have a rules & about page. All the common shit.
• Do not reblog asks to reply to them. Create a new text post & reply there. I won't reply to any asks that are reblogged. ALSO CUT YOUR POSTS!
• Mun is 24, thus old enough to smut, but will never do so with minors (under 18). Not having your age listed on your blog makes you a minor in my eyes.
• I format my posts & use icons. Neither is required to RP with me, but the latter will make me more likely to do so. I also don't RP with people who use big gifs or images in their replies. Personal preference.
• Nothing on this blog is free for use. Look but don't touch.
➳ INTRODUCTION
• DISCLAIMER: This is a roleplay account portraying a fictional character, purely for entertainment & fun. I am not affiliated with Marvel Entertainment or Jeremy Renner. I claim nothing as my own personal work unless otherwise stated.
• Blog will be NSFW at times & is not trigger or spoiler-free. NSFW visuals are tagged, written forms are not.
• PORTRAYAL IS CANON-DIVERGENT. Please do us both the courtesy of reading over his information. I get very peeved when people assume everything that occurred in the MCU applies to my portrayal.
• This is both an ask & RP blog, so anons & questions / headcanons / comments are welcome 24/7, all day every day. I also accept M!As, but on a selective basis.
• Icons were made by or for me. Please don't take/use them for yourself. Current theme background courtesy of kinglxki.
• Rules can be added / edited at any time without warning. If you don't read these rules, I will not RP with you.
➳ FOLLOWING/UNFOLLOWING
• As a SELECTIVE blog, I don't follow everybody back, follow right away, or 'follow for a follow'. I take the time to go through someone's blog & their pages, posts, content, etc. before initiating a follow back. I do not follow personal blogs unless I'm interested in what they reblog.
• I check who is following me & who I am following. If after 1 week you haven't followed back, I will take that as a sign that you have no interest in interacting with me & will unfollow.
• I will not follow/unfollow you for: unannounced inactivity/hiatus, no rules or about page, not cutting your posts (!!), godmodding or powerplaying, not tagging NSFW, no interaction after a while, too much OOC, or anon hate or excessive drama.
• I do not send passwords or phrases hidden in rules. Believe me, I understand why they are there (both this blog & another one of mine had them) but then I realized how unfair they are, & it spikes my anxiety terribly. If I've followed you, I've read your rules.
• I love OCs to death, but I'll warn you now: I am HIGHLY SELECTIVE WITH THEM. You must have a detailed about/bio & rules page before I will even consider roleplaying with you. My love for OCs means I tend to be picky & have high standards for them. OC relatives of Marvel canon muses I will be even pickier with.
• In fact, I'm not afraid to say that I have a standard in general, & not everyone will fit that standard. It isn't anything personal.
I'm no holier-than-thou kind of person, but please understand that I'm only interested in interacting with writers of at least decent to above-average quality, both in literacy & overall blog content / layout.
• I am 100% OPEN TO RPING WITH:
Twins / duplicates (of Clint), duplicate muses in general (unless stated I am exclusive with a particular muse), animated / comic / cartoon / manga characters & FCs, canon relatives of Clint (will most likely take place in a past verse; his family in AOU will be RP'd with in a seperate verse from his main one, considered 'AU'), trans / nonbinary muses, sideblogs (must state that you are a side blog & of which blog you follow me on), canon divergent / AU muses, children muses, characters from almost any fandom (but most likely from ones I am familiar with.)
• I am UNLIKELY TO FOLLOW / RP WITH:
Genderbends/swaps, OC relatives / children of Marvel characters, multi-muse blogs, blogs w/ a default Tumblr theme, blogs that OOC way too much, blogs that don't tag anything, a mun under 16, blogs that use large gifs or pictures to RP (or no pics / icons at all), blogs w/ consistent typos... etc.
This doesn't mean I will always flat-out refuse to RP most of those listed, but my chances of interacting / following any blogs that fit any of the above are relatively low & on a case by case basis.
➳ ROLEPLAYING
• As a PRIVATE** blog, I RP with mutuals-only. If I am not following you, please do not send me interaction memes, like my starter calls (unless specified as open to everyone), asking me to plot, or attempt to interact with on an IC level.
** The EXCEPTION to this is groups / group verses, where all members of any groups I am a current participant of are welcome to interact with me regardless of mutual status! This lasts for as long as the group verse does or for as long as I am a member of it.
• Please do not reblog asks to reply to them. Make a new text post with a link to the ask you're replying to, & continue through that. I will not reply to any reblogged asks.
• Please do not approach me empty-handed asking for RP. Have a plot, an idea, an AU, something. Or I will direct you straight to my wishlist. If you come to me with 'Wanna RP?' & nothing else, I'm flat-out ignoring you.
• I am an impulsive roleplayer. There may be times when I have muse only for certain threads or only feel like RPing with certain people. I cannot promise a strict amount of consistency, but I do try to give everyone a fair share of my time & attention. Please do not harass me if I haven't gotten to your reply yet. A message once a week is sufficient.
• I don't make greeters for followers. I may answer those directed at me, depending on muse, & draft count. Any starters that violate my rules will be ignored.
• The mun does NOT agree with the road Hawkeye's character was taken down in Age of Ultron, on multiple aspects. As such, his main verse will not recognize or contain any elements of his AOU family, though Laura & co. muses aren't banned from RP; they will just be in a different verse / setting.
• Given that I hold all of Clint's blood relations are dead, any character, whether OC or canon in another timeline, wishing to RP with me will have to consult me OOCly first.
• Use common sense. No godmodding, no metagaming, no powerplaying, don't mix IC/OOC, be literate... just all the common do's & don'ts of RP.
• I love AUs, crossovers from other fandoms, multiple scenarios / threads & all the things. If you have an idea for something you wanna do, scream at me!
• I have a ton of verses for various scenarios, fandoms, etc. MOST of them are on my verses page, but there are a few I have yet to put up. Feel free to take a look! I love all the verses & AUs!!
• If you want to RP with me, just approach me! I promise I'm very friendly & probably dying to RP with you.
➳ SHIPPING
• Blog is MULTI-SHIP with a heavy emphasis on chemistry. I am open to just about any ship, including canon, OC & crossover / AU. That being said, I am partial to certain ships, as is natural.
• I am however extremely selective/picky when it comes to Clintasha. I ship them both platonically & romantically, but I default to platonic because of the high standards I have for the ship itself. If I ship with a Natasha romantically, I need to feel comfortable with the other mun's portrayal.
• Please note there are a variety of ship dynamics, not just romance or platonic. I love all the ship types, throw 'em at me!
• No smut with minors (under 18). No negotiations. & if you do not state you are 18 or older on your blog, I will assume you are underage.
• Just because I ship the characters does not mean I ship our muses. Or just because I ship Clint with one of the same muses, that I will automatically ship him with a duplicate. Each muse is played differently by their mun, so it will be up to the chemistry between both each individual mun/muse that decides whether a ship works or not. If I am exclusive in a ship, then I will only ship with one portrayal of a muse.
• I understand autoshipping happens. If you ship your muse with mine in any way, please let me know. Do not force-ship however, or assume I will automatically ship with you.
• Keep in mind Clint is philophobic & tends to run away from relationships after a while. He's a very insecure & awkward birb. But don't let this deter you! Just don't expect for him to run into your muse's arms right away, or open up easily, if at all. He's not the best person to get involved with tbh.
➳ EXCLUSIVITY & MAINS
• I am open to both shipping & full-out exclusivity, & having mains. Know that I will only be exclusive or mains with portrayals I am comfortable with & people I know well / have built up an RP relationship with.
If you've read my rules, thank you. May you win the lottery someday! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
RP Exclusives & Mains
*I can have more than one main of a character, & I may go dual-exclusive with portrayals that allow it.
Exclusives;
• Full exclusive means I will not roleplay with another portrayal of that particular muse.
• Ship exclusive means I will not ship with another portrayal of that particular muse, but will still roleplay with them.
Loki Laufeyson:nomadiicc - Ship exclusive & Main
Dean Winchester:bitchescarsnpie - Full exclusive
Mains;
• Main means that portrayal / mun gets priority, both ICly & OOCly, when it comes to interactions & replies.
None yet
If you wanna be exclusives or mains with me, great! Here are a few things you should know before requesting it however:
THINGS TO KNOW...
• Mutuals only
• Both our muses & our writing have to have chemistry
• Our muses have to have interacted in roleplay long enough to establish something; a plot, a ship, a verse, w/e
• Highly prefer those that talk with me OOCly
• I can have multiple mains of the same character, but typically no more than 2-3
• Please be aware that this must be a two-sided thing (I must be your exclusive/main as well as you being mine) unless otherwise discussed.
• If I decide to go exclusive or main with a blog on my own, because I want only your portrayal & no other, then I will do so myself. I may or may not alert you of this, but if I do, know you are under no obligation to return the gesture if I did it myself. In the same breath, it is deeply appreciated if you do.
• Understand there are certain muses I will not go full exclusive with, namely because I either already interact with multiple versions of that muse, or I do not want to limit myself to one portrayal. Shipping exclusivity will still be a possibility, in most cases. This may change over time.
• Muses I will not be fully exclusive with: Other Clints (twins), Loki, Bucky, Steve, Natasha.
• I would prefer not to go exclusive with any of the other Avengers (Bruce, Tony, & Thor) or the other main characters introduced in AOU (Wanda, Pietro, & Vision) without establishing a strong muse connection / plot of some sort, & won't consider it unless I have one.
• Canon characters outside of the Marvel/Avengers fandom are more likely to be accepted as exclusives.
If you are interested, please feel free to contact me!
My Portrayal:
My portrayal of Clint will not always align with Marvel canon. He has diverged at multiple points, & will again — along with several of my own headcanons or additions thrown in. Here are the major changes you should be aware of before attempting to RP with me:I. His mind has residue of the scepter's power buried in his psyche. Like Dr. Selvig, it has manifested itself in a variety of side/after effects altering his mind, personality, thought patterns & behavior. They include: insomnia & frequent/vivid nightmares, sudden mood swings, blue flickering/flashing glow of his eyes, shorter temper & more prone to violence, seizures / epilepsy, random memory gaps & blacking out, loss of strength or appetite, chronic migraines, & symptoms of schizophrenia (hearing voices, mild to severe hallucinations, paranoia, irrational beliefs, etc.).
II. Clint is much more affected by what happened to him in The Avengers then he previously let on. The death toll he's responsible for, among other things, has inflicted him with a heavy amount of depression. He's also much more reserved, even towards friends or people he knows, & feels a general suspicion & paranoia towards others. He can even be hostile, unreasonable & otherwise unpredictable at times.
III. His teammates do not know about his condition, nor does S.H.I.E.L.D. He has done a pretty good job of keeping it under wraps & making the necessary excuses to cover up what needs to be covered. It may be found out through roleplay, but by default, no one but Loki is aware of what state his mind is in.
IV. Barton has semi-frequent 'episodes' where he loses control & the scepter's influence becomes too great. This happens regularly, though no one can never predict when it's going to occur. However, high amounts of prolonged & intense psychological &/or physical pain & distress will definitely trigger it as a defense mechanism, & also has a higher chance of releasing Kite* (see last bit).
V. Concerning Clint's romantic partners; my Hawkeye has never been married, or had kids (in his main verse). He did have a fling with Mockingbird for a while, they dated & made out, but never went to 'third base'. So Clint is a virgin.
VI. My reasoning for the above is:
1. He was immediately put off the idea of being attached to anyone because of his abusive father, which is also a major reason why he has trouble trusting people or getting close to them;
2. His life as an agent / superhero makes any sort of relationship impractical. He would be constantly in danger & away from home, anyone close to him would be a target for villains, & the added responsibilities of a relationship would take away from SHIELD & the Avengers being his main priorities.
3. Honestly, he didn't find any potential partners or people he would be interested in, or would be interested in him, aside from Bobbi, & that didn't last.
So yeah, just so you don't think I'm pulling these things out of my ass, there IS a reason why he is the way he is.
VII. When he slips into one of his 'episodes', where the residing power & 'touch' of the gem takes over his mind again (usually triggered by intense emotions, stress, or feeling threatened), there is a chance of his other side coming out; a darker side, that knows no mercy. It's a killer; it's everything repressed & hidden about Barton. It has taken up the name of Kite. Be warned if you interact with him in this state; he will not recognize friend from foe. Everyone is a potential enemy.
*(The difference between Kite & mind-controlled Clint is essentially that Kite has free will. He is an alter-ego resulting from the trauma & influence that has corrupted a part of Clint's psyche. He will still be more or less obedient towards Loki, or anyone who can gain control over Clint, but he is not bound to obey them, unlike his other self.)

Kite is the 'dark' alter-ego of Clint Barton. He's the repressed instincts, desires, thoughts, etc. of Clint's mind, mainly everything Clint is afraid to admit & fears about himself & the world, given life & influenced through the scepter's magic. He is not the same as mind-controlled Clint; he has free will & an independent personality, but is still connected to the mind gem. Kite comes out after certain lengths of time, as he cannot be suppressed indefinitely (at least once or twice a week), but he is more apt to rise to the surface when Clint feels threatened, his life is at risk, or moments of extreme emotional intensity & stress.
*All information not listed should be considered unchanged from Clint.
Interactions with Kite will be held in his own sub-verse of the main one: v: fallen feathers

H A N D I C A P S ;
Near-emotionless. Unable to comprehend most emotions & sympathy on a personal level.
On the rare occasion he does experience emotion, it is felt on a physical level instead of a mental one, & all emotions (whether positive or negative) cause him pain. The stronger the emotion, the more intense the pain.
Violence is his preset solution. If he cannot see an obvious one or figure one out, Kite will quickly resort to violence.
Still susceptible to certain weaknesses that Clint had/has, albeit to a lesser degree, & Clint can be communicated with or 'roused' from dormancy by those he is close to in an effort to struggle with & suppress Kite, so he can get back in control.
While he cannot be forced to obey anyone (excluding any personifications of the Mind Gem itself), Kite can be coerced into willingly following certain individuals, including Loki, Thanos, members of HYDRA, Ultron, etc. His mind has a 'soft spot' for these people due to the scepter & their connections to it.
Specifically weak to electricity & psionics (especially mind-affecting powers like Wanda's). Anything that fucks with his head on either a chemical/electrical level, or in a more subtle way with mind control & similar, he is more easily affected by. (The reason for electricity is it screws with the synapses of his brain, & the neurons/protons/electrons.)

Kite also lacks the noticeable accent that Clint has. This, along with the flickering of the eyes & change in behavior, is one of the main ways on how to tell when the personalities are going to switch. If Clint is 'active' & he's beginning to lose his accent, Kite is surfacing. If Kite is active & he's regaining his accent, Clint is retaking control.

S K I L L S ;
All of Clint's skills are carried over, & expanded on. Thanks to the scepter, Kite has several additional abilities that his normal consciousness cannot access, including;
Expert Killer;; Similar to the Winter Soldier with HYDRA, the Mind Gem 'programmed' Kite with the familiar preset used during his attacks against S.H.I.E.L.D. & the Avengers. It focused on his primary skills as a soldier, a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, a spy, an archer, & above all — a killer. Everything about his mental makeup was reconstructed to make him the most effective & efficient weapon he could be, as that was his original purpose. Kite is an exceptionally skilled fighter, even beyond the capabilities of his normal self, as his primary function serves as a weapon & he is unburdened by the extra baggage Clint carried, such as emotions, attachments, memories, morals, etc. Everything about him is made to kill, & he has no reservations about doing it, sometimes in the worst ways possible.
Near-immunity to emotion;; As a result of his weaponization, Kite's emotional capacity is severely stunted, being unable to comprehend or understand most emotions on a personal scale & becoming easily disgusted or rebuffed by highly emotional situations or people. He is called 'heartless' for a reason, but while incapable of sympathizing with others, he's not unable to or above using & manipulating other people's emotions.
The Mind Gem could not completely cut his emotions off, however, as emotions are 'hardwired' into his brain as a human. So the scepter altered his original 'programming' instead, so that Kite literally & physically felt whatever emotions he experienced, on those rare occasions. They were physical sensations rather than abstract sympathies. Though, all emotions, whether positive or negative, brought painful sensation, to further cement the idea that 'emotion' was a bad thing. This is why he is not completely immune to it.
Advanced intellect & intuition;; Basically, he's really smart (genius-level intellect or beyond), & has an uncanny ability of sensing things 'behind the scenes', either before they occur or while they are occuring. This is also due to his next ability —
Emotional tuning;; While he cannot feel emotions as others do & does not understand them as anything more than unnecessary baggage that allows others to use & manipulate you, he does make use of just that. Due to being primarily bereft of his own emotions, this leaves Kite room to 'tune' into the emotional wavelengths of other people, as one might tune into a radio signal. This varies from person to person, depending on how emotional they are, how intensely they are feeling, & how much of that output they are giving off. Even the subtlest cues can be picked up on, but Kite is still not a mind reader, so he can only interpret so much.
Enhanced regeneration/healing rate;; It might appear to be something 'magical', but it actually isn't. Kite's expanded consciousness grants him greater control & detailed mastery over the intricacies of his own brain & body functions. When injured, he can speed up the healing process significantly by mentally redirecting the damaged cells with new ones, while also encouraging the regeneration of tissue through brain signals & chemicals alone. Of course, this places a priority on healing & requires the focus of a majority of his cognitive functions, so speeding up recovery is normally only a viable option outside of conflict, though his brain does do some of the work for him.
Heightened senses, speed + reflexes;; He can hear, see, & smell things from greater distances than normal. Given his sight is already enhanced from being Hawkeye, this gives him an even greater level of visual acuity. His sense of smell is about twice as good as a human's now, & unlike Clint, he no longer has any of the deafness, rendering his hearing as average. Kite's speed & reflexes are also highly tuned, even more so than Clint's were originally.
High pain tolerance;; It is less that he does not feel pain as much, because he feels it just as much as before; it simply does not affect him as much. Not only that, but because Clint's masochistic tendencies combine with Kite's sadistic ones (making Kite a sadomasochist), he is more than likely to enjoy the pain rather than not. He got an orgasm from having his arm broken & shoulder dislocated. So... yeah.
Gem imprint;; This is more of a passive ability than anything. Basically, anyone who has come into contact with any of the Infinity Stones, Kite will know & recognize it, as well as which one, since each of the gems leave a special 'signature' on any entity they directly interact with. The same goes for him, & for any personified Infinity Gems he may come across, he WILL recognize them as the gems they are. (Clint may not, but Kite will. But both of them carry the gem imprint.)
P A R A P H E R N A L I A ;
He doesn't use a bow, unlike Clint. He prefers to get up-close & personal with his victims. Kite's normal weapon of choice is usually a shiv or a long-bladed serrated knife, usually dual-wielded. He also carries double Glock pistols. On his fingers, he always wears double-bladed metal finger-claws on all of his fingers, save for the thumbs. His attire tends to be a little darker than Clint's, & he's more fond of wearing suits & formalwear than his more reserved counterpart.
