*GUIDE
( 01 ) this is a literate, private and HIGHLY selective portrayal of an original muse, primarily created for military, horror, sci-fi & adjacent verses.( 02 ) minors DO NOT interact. DD:DNE. i am a massive advocate for curating your space: please block as you need to, and i will do the same. don't block evade. don't be weird.trigger / content warnings for this account will include but are not limited to: military-typical graphic violence + detailed gore / physical + psychological torture / severe child abuse & neglect / CSA + incest (referenced in backstory only, NOT written in detail on account!) / C-PTSD / unhealthy coping mechanisms such as self-harm + substance abuse â and more may be added as i see fit or subject to change.for what it is worth, kc is an unreliable narrator. there is a level of nuance needed when writing these kinds of topics - if you can't handle it i understand, but please do not expect me to tone down my own character. if you are uncomfortable with the above mentioned topics, our characters may not be a good fit, and that's okay! as stated, please block at your discretion.nsfw content (i.e. mild/tasteful nudity, crude jokes, etc) in character & reblogs WILL show up on the dash from time to time. THESE WILL NOT BE TAGGED. i do have an nsfw sideblog for kc reserved for close mutuals. if you want it, just ask.by interacting with this account i'll assume you've read through the necessary content warnings, nothing will be tagged and this WILL be your final warning.( 03 ) i'm always open to plotting in dm's or even being tagged in random starters by mutuals, etc. it's very encouraged. i can be nervous sometimes initiating first interactions so please don't hesitate to reach out if you're interested in writing, i promise if i follow you that i very much want to write with you.( 04 ) i absolutely love to ship. if you want it, i probably do too. that said, i love having dynamics outside of romance too. i'm open to anything â lovers, enemies, friends, coworkers.. name it, i'll be there.
all ships exist within their own universe. very open to polyamorous ships as long as all writers agree and there is chemistry between all muses involved.OC's, feminine and trans muses are always more than encouraged to interact and ship.( 05 ) low to moderate activity. i work full time and get overtime at work most days, so replies tend to come on the weekends. please keep in mind fall / winter is my busiest time of the year at home and work. you can expect banter here & there on the weekdays.please never rush yourself to reply to me. it is never a bother, and i want my writing partners to put themselves first over just that, writing. this is a hobby. never apologize or stress out over writing a reply to me. whether its weeks or months, i don't mind waiting.( 06 ) formatting will be very simple: default text size, italics & bold with double spacing. i'm not great with editing so the most you'll really see is a post divider. maybe in the future i'll dabble in gifs and dash icons & whatnot but for now, it's not a priority. please go wild with yours though, i love seeing other's edits and creativity. PLEASE let me know if i need to adjust any formatting to make my writing more accessible to you!i do my best to match length but honestly go with whatever you are feeling â if i've written something longer but it makes more sense for yours to be shorter to make the interaction flow better, then go for it. i won't be upset. i promise i am a very flexible writing partner. if i ever have an issue i'll let you know.( 07 ) this feels it should go without saying, but just in case: fuck ice, fuck trump, fuck israel, free palestine, and #LANDBACK. don't be a fucking bigot, and don't think i'll be comfortable with you acting like one.( 08 ) tiger, 26. he/him. cdt. mutuals are free to ask for my discord for plotting or chatting. please talk to me about f1 and spider-man. carrd template by csources. psd by vendettapsds.important (+ embarrassing) note: this is my first time roleplaying on tumblr. i'm bound to mess up. if i do, please just message me and let me know. i'll always take tips and advice, just please be kind. thanks!

COASTAL MISSISSIPPI, screamed sun, sweat and sin. itâs the only thing kendall wells grew up with â sundays he had a preacher pointing at the bruises on his knees, telling him if he got right with god then he wouldnât get hurt the way he did. at home, his father told him no amount of praying would save him from what he deserved, from what he would do to him.the foster homes eventually came. kendall was separated from his younger brother, despite all their efforts to stay close. no amount of begging would help, this kendall and lynn learned from early ages thanks to their own parents. by eight, kendall was on his own, drifting from home to home, down the gulf. nothing was familiar. never stayed the same.eventually, a sweet couple. rachel and leena took in fourteen year old kendall. gave him a home, a bed, a new start. they didnât press, didnât loom. they let him cry, they let him scream when the nightmares came. everything came on his terms.they helped find him an outlet. baseball. it was a great pastime, a fixation to get out of his head if only for a little while. eventually he started to socialize at school again, get better grades, and soon enough get a scholarship taking him to florida.
college seems to fly. everything is great for a while. friends, girls, baseballâ what could be better?until kendall picks up his phone one day, not expecting the familiar voice on the other line. the one that used to taunt him at night, before bed, that screamed in his face no matter what he did right or wrong â his father. out on probation. out. free.from there, itâs over. the decline snowballs: grades drop, his attendance is nonexistent, and his teammates barely know he exists anymore. leena and rachel go crazy trying to figure out if heâs okay. kendall shows up two weeks before semester break with his things, unpacking at the door.three weeks later, heâs enlisted. his goodbyeâs arenât very long. he doesnât want to leave much of a trace behind with .. any of this. the guilt still eats him alive, with how he treated his moms. the letters they share between basic training make up for some of it â and yet.CONTINUE ..

*FILE .2
years pass, and heâs now with the marines. during one of his deployments, kendall is caught in an explosion that has left him buried underneath the rubble of a collapsed building, disoriented and struggling to breathe. with his unit unable to reach him, a k9 and its handler come in to search and are able to pull him out. the whole ordeal leaves kendall shaken, but he never forgets the dog or the handler after the encounter.eventually with enough inquiries he comes to become a handler himself, and acquires his own k9; athena, german shepherd. they bond well, become inseparable, and kendall often wonders from there why he hadnât pursued this much sooner. heâd been missing out on this for so long.it all comes to a head during kendall's, unknowingly, final deployment: a secondary explosion nobody could have seen coming. both kendall and athena are caught under the rubble and wreckage of the warehouse - rinse and repeat.kendall came away with a concussion, right rotator cuff tear & broken collar bone, and shrapnel scarring alone his left leg. athena managed to get away with a pelvic fracture and acute hearing issues. recovery felt like a blur, at least for kendall; by the time he thought they were getting cleared, the papers are being signed for him to return back overseas. leena and rachel would be waiting for him at the airport.
home isn't what he remembers it being, though. his moms don't reach out as much. too many silences. he knows it's his fault, anyway, and he supposes that doesn't need to be said aloud. the first few months are spent recovering, back and forth appointments, learning the new limits of a body that won't cooperate the way it used to. athena heals with him, and it makes it a little easier.the months drag on. and on. and on.nearly a year of nothing and an old connection puts him in touch with a company looking for people with his experience. MERIDIAN. the work isn't quite what he'd done before. the more questions they ask, the more unsure kendall starts to become - but the money's there. it's enough to make him listen. a few phone calls, interviews, and he's got the offer.he leaves his moms with a hug and a kiss before he leaves.RETURN ..
