aybe if Sage had cared more about the people he surrounded himself with, or would have been a little less naive about those who actually cared about him and who didn't, he wouldn't have ended up the way he did. Sleeping around with other people was the normal for college students. It helped him get rid of pent up stress, but he had never made it a priority, never let it get in the way of his studies or his sports.

Granted, he had never really been around the best people since he had started highschool, so that's probably why his ex girlfriend found it so easy to slither into his life freshman year. Essentially nicknamed the campus "power-couple," Sage had completely cut off his old ways, all old connections and possible problems all for the love of this woman. That was what he was supposed to do, right? From the beginning, their relationship had had a label and every where she went, he was surely close behind. Sage had never been one to believe in forevers, yet stupidly, artlessly, he could see himself sticking with her even after they graduated. Even when she treated him like , he still loved her. Love had nearly left him blind; he almost missed all the signs that told him she wasn't as devoted to him as he was to her.

"Whoever it is you fall in love with for the first time, not just love but be in love with, is the one who will always make you angry, the one you can't be logical about."

After nearly a year together he had caught her, arms wrapped around another guy and affectionately pressing kisses into his face at a frat party she purposely hadn't mentioned. His heart had been thumping so fast against his chest that he could hear it even over the music, tired eyes filled with disbelief, outfit being the first thing he threw on after having spent hours at his desk studying. Apparently to everybody else the two of them had broken up. The only one who hadn't been made aware, dare he say the solely most important person it mattered to, was Sage himself. He broke up with her on the spot, that being the first and last time anybody ever seen Sage lose his cool in public.

"Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean."

Sage's old ways had returned tenfold with the pain of his heartbreak, mind set on scorning anybody that came near him, just the way she had hurt him.

basic summary.

Sage is always careful about the people he takes interest in. While he can have his random fits of settling for his usual hookups or anybody that can hold a decent conversation(and with proper hygiene, of course), he eases his way into conversations, into pretending that he genuinely cares about what the other person is talking about. He's careful with his words, his demeanor and his emotions when he's trying to get something he wants. Outside of his playboy tendencies, he is rather laidback and prefers to not take things too seriously. It's often that you'll find Sage giggling amongst his friends over the smallest of things, but he ultimately knows when to be serious, too. He's also, maybe, more observant of the people around him than he should be。

Before You Approach Me

•.*★ important。 Hello! I'm always open for connections or plotting, so don't hesitate to pm me. I encourage you telling me any ideas or plots that you already have in mind, but I also do not mind brainstorming. I work full time and so my activity can be spotty here and there. Nonetheless, there will always be communication on my end, and I hope that it will be the same with you. If you don't like a thread we are doing anymore, please say something.

Writing & Plotting Style

•.*★ writing style。 I have a tendency to mirror, but I try to stay in the multi para/para to para range. Can do novella if I really enjoy what we are writing and I'm comfortable. Prefer 3rd pov, but can also adjust to 1st pov if that's what you're more comfortable with.

•.*★ plotting style。 I really enjoy when there's stuff that we preplotted, but I'm also all for going off of vibes and chemistry. You will almost never ever see me plot endgames. Let's just see where our characters end up!

I'm all for writing starters, I just hate to have to do them constantly. If we have multiple threads, I would appreciate leveling out the load in that sense.

•.*★ overall。 II'm probably one of the most chill writers out there. You have a crazy idea you're interested in? Chances are I wouldn't mind writing it with you. All I ask for is mutual respect and understanding!

Activity & Reply Speed

•.*★ important。 Replies can be spotty depending on my work schedule and my muse. Sometimes my replies take a few days, and sometimes you'll get a reply in the next 20 minutes.

I try my best to get replies out as soon as possible, but sometimes I write myself to the point of burnout. So to avoid that, I've recently been trying to pace myself and my replies. Please be patient with me. I have a lot going on ooc, but will always communicate with you on our threads.

Location Preferences

I personally prefer doing room plots, but if we decide we want the replies to be more personal, I don't mind writing on walls or PMs when it comes to (or anything, it doesn't have to just be ).
