(In my best Fat Albert impersonation)Hey, hey, hey! What's up, my dudes & dudettes? Welcome to my little corner of FurAffinity! 😎 Name's Dante-Sparda, but you can just call me Raiden(seeing as that's my main fursona I tend to RP as). Glad to be here and pleased to meet ya. Sorry I'm JUST NOW getting to writing this but I've been VERY busy/distracted with other things that's came up(like life OUTSIDE of the Interwebs for instance... 😜). But figured I might as well get this out of the way now while I can. Hey, better late than never, right? Anyway, just wanted to say "Hi" and welcome everyone to my userpage. So, without further ado...

First up, some Ground Rules(yeah yeah, I know... 😰 😫😪 But it has to be this way):
1. Don't be a dick. No rude, bigoted, uncivil, needlessly mean-spirited comments of ANY SORT will be tolerated. NO Shitposting, PERIOD. 🚫💩 My page(s) are NOT Encylopaedia Dramatica or Something Awful after all. DON'T do it or face the wrath of the Blocksword of Great Justice(after an initial warning).
2. Don't act stupid. It goes without saying, that it ties into the above rule as I have an INCREDIBLY LOW tolerance for both. Acting silly is fine from time to time, nothing wrong with that. But only in the proper time and place. A SERIOUS, MATURE, LOGICAL, CIVIL discussion is NOT the place for shallow, thoughtless, ignorant, inane, banal drivel. Expect to be ignored and/or mocked the first time. You will be mocked and warned the second time. Third time, you will be dope slapped with the Blocksword.
3. No incessant bitching or whining. CONSTRUCTIVE critique and GENUINE concern/complaints are welcome and understandable. Those being addressed help the community and individuals within said community grow. But that's NOT what is being addressed here. Needlessly incessant bitching and whining is. It's annoying and pathetic. Don't do it. Third strike and you're out. Ignored, Mocked, Blocked. In that order. Deal with it. 😎
4. No drama. That means no gossip, hearsay, half truths, unverified claims, and outright bald-faced lies intended to stir up drama/butthurt/rustling of jimmies. Don't do it. Third strike and you're out. Ignored, Mocked, Blocked. In that order.
5. Please, DO NOT take part in ANY illegal/illicit activity(ie; REAL LIFE Child Porn or anything Dark Web related) on my page(s). I believe FA HAS a rule against CP anyway... Good. I personally don't need to see that sick shite. Also DO NOT target myself or anyone here on my page for death threats, physical, sexual, OR virtual assault. PERIOD. You WILL be InstaBlocked, Reported to the proper authorities, and likely PermaBanned.
6. LEWD COMMENTS WELCOME(at least on Mature/Adult works): But please try to keep lewd comments to a minimum unless on a Mature/Adult rated image/work. I'm personally no prude, so I definitely don't mind the OCCASIONAL lewd comment from time to time. Even so, PLEASE DON'T be creepy/overly descriptive outside of RP. Do try to exercise some tact and common sense. Think with the PROPER head unless so designated. No Creeps Allowed(outside of RPs).
7. I do what I am supposed to do roughly 90% of the time. So DO NOT scold me like a child, henpeck me, or try to pick a fight with me, especially when I am doing what I'm supposed to do and/or minding my own business(I'd also personally suggest you do the same if you have an inclination for causing trouble). Now, I'll be the first to admit I am FAR from perfect and sometimes I DO screw up. Also it's true that NO ONE is above reproach. If I HAVE ACTUALLY done something wrong, I WILL own up to it, take full responsibility, sincerely apologize, and see how I can PEACEFULLY resolve the situation or make it better. But IF you have an issue with me PERSONALLY, try to approach me PRIVATELY instead of calling me out and confronting me publicly especially if it DOESN'T concern the public at large. Just because you MIGHT hold seniority/rank/experience over me, DOES NOT give you license to treat me(or anyone else I care about) like garbage anytime you feel like it. I am NO ONE'S doormat. There is NO justification or excuse whatsoever for that nonsense, so don't even try.
Trust me, that is NOT the hill you want to die on.
Just to be clear: I am NOT asking for a medal, recognition, or even appreciation... just a bit of basic common courtesy and respect(a two-way street, mind you), I don't think that is too much to ask.
8. Unless you ACTUALLY know me or the situation at hand, DON'T you DARE impugn my character or that of my friends/associates unless you seek to earn my full ire.
See Rules 1, 2, 4, & 7.
9. PLEASE, DON'T flood my inbox with spam. If you want to PM/email me, that's perfectly fine. But PLEASE DON'T spam me and do try to be patient if I don't respond right away. Realize I DO have a life OUTSIDE of the Interwebs, y'know. 😜
Rules EXPLICITLY concerning characters & Intellectual Property-
*Note: I REALLY DON'T mind "Fair Use" or "Free Advertising" (I could use all of that I can get lol 😝). But shameless shilling and plugging aside, a few Ground Rules I have concerning the above mentioned:
10. DO NOT claim MY or ANYONE ELSE'S work/character(s) as your own. I WILL FIND YOU. 😡
11. DO NOT abridge/butcher/edit/otherwise misrepresent MY work/character(s) WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. I WILL FIND YOU. 😠 Affectionate Parody MAY be exempt. I, unlike many others, actually DO NOT mind reposting my work/characters to other sites(just nothing Dark Web or anywhere sketchy like that kk?) SO LONG AS YOU PROPERLY CREDIT ME & THE ARTIST(ONLY if it's also ok with them). But for the most part, PLEASE DON'T even use/RP as MY characters WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.
12. If you happen to make money from using MY work/character(s) as a basis, I would PREFER GETTING MY PERMISSION FIRST... ALONG WITH ALL DUE CREDITS AND ROYALTIES to ME. Even if you AREN'T profiting from it, I would STILL VERY MUCH APPRECIATE GETTING MY PERMISSION FIRST AND CREDITING ME.

A little about me: I'm a fairly calm, chill, humble dude who's actually quite approachable if a bit quiet/reserved at times. When I DO socialize and speak with others, just be warned that I CAN come off as a bit snarky/sarcastic at times as I have a fairly dry sense of humor and tend to gravitate towards/have an appreciation for such. I also tend to tell it like it is when my advice/opinions are warranted. So if you're easily butthurt or sarcasm is easily lost on you, our interaction may be a bit... rocky. But do try not to take it TOO personally and with a grain of salt(or several). 😉 I WILL NOT BS you nor will I blow smoke up your butt. Since I DON'T expect anyone to kneel and kiss my ring, please DO NOT expect that of me. Though I generally do try to be friendly, nice, & polite most of the time... So some common courtesy would be MUCH appreciated. I WILL be as respectful as possible to you but do realize it's a two-way street. Also please stay out of my personal business and I'll stay out of yours. I also tend to have a LOW tolerance for stupidity & dickish behaviour, so please don't do it or expect to get smacked down with the Blocksword of Great Justice. 😋 Same goes for incessant bitching and whining. Yeah, don't do that either. It's annoying and pathetic. Stop it. 😒 I'm a compassionate, patient guy but my patience is NOT infinite. But like I said, please don't be shy/intimidated and feel free to chat with me about anything(within reason). I'll lend my best listening ear and try to give you the best advice I possibility can. Just bear all that in mind & I guarantee you and I will get along just fine. I want ALL of us to be able to have fun here. 😊

Eh, to each their own.), Criminals/Terrorists, Creeps, Prudes, Bigots, Liars, Politicians, Authoritarians, Busybodies/Nosy Parkers, Winter & crappy weather.
