About
Hi !
You can call me Animal, Animality, or any variation of dogxfiend.
Iβm 25+ yrs old & she/her. Iβve had Syde for over 10 years and have been roleplaying for even longer. I seriously love writing so Iβm online a lot and typically respond very quickly, but please donβt be intimidated,
Iβm SUPER CHILL !
Basics
I write in THIRD PERSON & PAST TENSE with PARAGRAPHS of whatever length feels comfortable. Don't feel pressured to match length!
I'm usually pretty FAST with replies; don't feel pressured to match my speed either!
If I havenβt LIKED a starter/reply, that means I havenβt seen it, and you can give me a poke if it looks like I missed it after a couple days.
I love plotting!! I love goofing off and making fun of our characters in IMs!! Please feel free to IM me anytime!
There may be NSFW threads on this blog in regards to both violence and romance; sexy stuff will be tagged #nsft and under a Read More. If you need anything specific tagged, let me know!
I'm NOT an SPN blog and don't adhere to SPN canon. Syde will acknowledge the Winchesters as big names in hunting but that's about it. I never watched the show.
Friendly reminder that IC =/= OOC
Hate will be immediately deleted. I don't do dash drama or callout culture, I'm too old for that stuff.
Following
This blog is MULTIVERSE and will write with both canon & original characters.
If I follow you, I 100% intend to write with you, and I expect the same. Please don't follow me if you're not actually INTERESTED in writing with me.
If your blog is still getting started and your pages aren't finished, I'm likely to hold off on following you until I can get a better idea of your character(s).
I'm not comfortable writing with self-inserts or real people.
I'm fine with personal blogs following as long as they don't like or reblog my threads, as a courtesy to me and my writing partners. Sending in OOC questions is perfectly fine anytime!
Shipping
This blog is MULTISHIP with each ship taking place in its own verse unless plotted otherwise.
Though Syde can be very FLIRTY, be aware that more serious ships will take CHEMISTRY.
I'm not here just for shippy stuff - I love exploring all kinds of character dynamics!
Don't be afraid to ask me about shipping! I don't normally like shipping calls because they feel awkward to me, but I'm ALWAYS open to discussing possible development, how our characters feel, and if we wanna take the plot in that direction.

BIO
SYDE SMILES like he has a dirty secret to whisper in your ear. His voice is cool and soft-spoken, lilting in some tones and VELVETY in others. With a slender frame reaching just 5β7β, his physical presence may not be intimidating, but his confidence, his near constant sense of AMUSEMENT, might be. Always watching others with the kind of laughter in his eyes with which someone might watch a kitten toddle around.Though his demeanor is quiet, he is no less CHARISMATIC, at times even endearingly boyish and sweet. How much of this is sincere and how much is facade is hard to tell - as it always is with demons, and HELLHOUNDS are some variety of demon. Like most of his kind, Syde harbors an instinctual and deep-seated itch for destruction. As far as demons go, he doesnβt have much in the way of physical strength, particularly in human form. But what he lacks in brute force, he makes up for in SPEED, capable of moving so quickly it can be mistaken for teleporting.But he touts that he is a lover, not a fighter. Truly he seems to revel in COMPANY as much as conflict, especially HUMAN companyβ¦ to the degree that many other demons would see him as soft, claim he gets too attached to people who might otherwise be his prey. Syde refutes that much. Heβll insist that his entanglement in human lives is all just a GAME or hobby interest for him, but often the line between what heβs pretending to feel and what heβs really feeling can become obscured, once heβs spent enough time with someone.Where he once dressed as a wealthy dandy of the day, now heβs more partial to SNEAKERS, jeans, cotton T-shirts, sweaters, hoodies. Often his clothes appear worn, his hair a bit disheveled, making him easy to miss on the street at first glance. Even more so when he takes the shape of an ordinary DOG - long, black fur, pointed ears, and an affable face with dark, thinking eyes. Large, but not of any discernible breed, he often moves at a brisk trot, keeping his head low like any stray on the lookout for scraps.

Verses
MAIN VERSE : DOG FIEND
The modern era, where beings of a supernatural nature function under the nose of mankind, living either in underground communities or hidden amongst human society. Syde moves between both, but frequently wanders human cities, sometimes as a MAN or sometimes as a DOG.PAST VERSE V.1: SCORCH MARKS
Syde owns a home in 18th & 19th century LONDON, with a modest reputation as either a wealthy young business owner or the son of one... and as a local PARTY ANIMAL, known to host rowdy social gatherings late into the night. Socialites with more money and time than they know what to do with are regulars at his home, as there's never a shortage of entertainment.PAST VERSE V.2: BRIMSTONE BARK
The very early days in the 16th & 17th century, either before Syde had a human form at all, or while he is still adapting to human society. Before his human form, he was still intelligent and cautious, but much more MALEVOLENT, much more BLOODTHIRSTY and prone to violence & destruction. While still acclimating to a human form, he is reserved and standoffish, but still very curious of human interaction.
