WELCOME TO BAG END
I AM 34. This blog can be used for M-rated roleplays. All of the M-rated material will be tagged.NSFW may include but is not limited to: sex, gore, violence, and other adult themes.
General
Ask before adding mature content.
No godmodding, meta- or power-playing.
I am actually willing to RP pretty much every kind of scenario except ones which would ruin relationships between Bilbo and someone else. I stress that you absolutely, positively, must ask me before you decide to throw sensitive subjects into a roleplay. I will not tolerate either of these things being casually thrown in.
Selectivity
HIGHLY selective.
Not exclusive by default.
Will Not observe automatic exclusivity.
Talk to me! It's much easier to get me to roleplay with you if I know you're as excited about it as I am.
Writing
Mutuals Only roleplay style.
Performs one-line script, paras, and novellas.
Users should come with ideas if they prefer to plot.
Triggers
Triggers may be blocked by blocking:

This blog is NOT prone to drama, but it is FAR from drama free. Admin has a personal policy of taking care of things in a hands-on manner and will not tolerate any sugarcoating of the sort.
Last Word
If I see you using my icons, headcanons, or FCs for teen!- or female!Bilbo without my permission, I will know and I will message you politely to ask you to stop. However, I am not above publicly calling someone out if they don't listen to me, so I suggest you save yourself the embarrassment and find your own resources. I know when people steal from me and I’m not about to sit down and take it. Don’t steal my shit and don’t piss me off.
The stuffiest, the snootiest, the most Hobbity Hobbit to ever Hobbit -- all things one would think describes Bilbo Baggins perfectly. But the mind of a writer is often a convoluted one, and it takes a special someone to really get to know the ring-ridden riddler. He is braver than expected, more cunning than acknowledged and in actuality, quite loose around the edges. He enjoys a good party as much as anyone and is known to indulge in many things mental and physical alike.Smooth and suave when he so chooses, his sass adds to his already mercurial personality. He personally enjoys running circles around the weak-minded, and may or may not enjoy a little bit of a challenge when he can find it. No, It's not difficult to know Bilbo Baggins. By far, the difficult part is keeping up with him.Clever enough to keep up? Then continue on...

His Body
HEIGHT: 3'6"
WEIGHT: 97lbs
BODY TYPE: EctomorphicEctomorphic individuals are not suited for power and strength sports as their slight build leaves them susceptible to injuries. While they can easily get lean and hard, their lack of musculature severely limits their chances in sports requiring mass. Ectomorphs dominate endurance sports and gymnastics.

PIERCINGS: None
SCARS: One on his forehead, cleverly hidden by bangs. One on his chest, severe, gnarled, from torture.

STYLE: Lavish. As Bilbo loves anything and everything indulgent, he will often be found in fine silks and rich fabrics befitting the weather, if he can help it.
His Mind
TYPE: INFJ ( "The Advocate" )The INFJ personality type is very rare, making up less than one percent of the population, but they nonetheless leave their mark on the world. As Diplomats (NF), they have an inborn sense of idealism and morality, but what sets them apart is the accompanying Judging (J) trait – INFJs are not idle dreamers, but people capable of taking concrete steps to realize their goals and make a lasting positive impact.INFJs indeed share a very unique combination of traits: though soft-spoken, they have very Merriweather opinions and will fight tirelessly for an idea they believe in. They are decisive and Merriweather-willed, but will rarely use that energy for personal gain – INFJs will act with creativity, imagination, conviction and sensitivity not to create advantage, but to create balance. Egalitarianism and karma are very attractive ideas to INFJs, and they tend to believe that nothing would help the world so much as using love and compassion to soften the hearts of tyrants.ALIGNMENT: Neutral GoodA neutral good character will never attack an unarmed foe and will never harm an innocent. He will not use torture to extract information or for pleasure. He will never kill for pleasure, only in self-defense or in the defense of others. A neutral good character will never use poison. He will help those in need and works well alone or in a group. He responds well to higher authority until that authority attempts to use the law to hamper his ability to do good. He is trustful of organizations as long as they serve his utilitarian purpose. He will follow the law unless more good can come from breaking the law. He will never betray a family member, comrade, or friend. Neutral good characters are indifferent to the concepts of self-discipline and honor, finding them useful only if they promote goodness.Neutral good characters sometimes find themselves forced to work beyond the law, yet for the law, and the greater good of the people. They are not vicious or vindictive, but are people driven to right injustice. Neutral good characters always attempt to work within the law whenever possible, however.TEMPERAMENT: SanguineThe sanguine temperament is fundamentally spontaneous and pleasure-seeking; sanguine people are sociable and charismatic. They tend to enjoy social gatherings, making new friends and tend to be boisterous. They are usually quite creative and often daydream. However, some alone time is crucial for those of this temperament. Sanguine can also mean sensitive, compassionate, thoughtful and sometimes a little sarcastic. Sanguines generally have an almost shameless nature, certain that what they are doing is right. They have no lack of confidence.HOUSE: RavenclawRavenclaws possess the traits of cleverness, wisdom, wit, and creativity. Thus, many Ravenclaws tend to be academically motivated and talented students. Ravenclaws also pride themselves in being original in their ideas, and methods. It's not unusual to find Ravenclaw students practicing especially different types of magic that other houses might shun.Students in Ravenclaw are noted for their individuality and acceptance of people and things that others would consider weird. They can also be quirky and possess unusual intellectual interests. While others may be inclined to shun and ridicule such people, Ravenclaws generally accept and celebrate these eccentrics.WAND: Vine, 10¾ inches, quite flexibleVine wands are among the less common types, and their owners are nearly always those witches or wizards who seek a greater purpose, who have a vision beyond the ordinary and who frequently astound those who think they know them best. Vine wands seem Merriweatherly attracted by personalities with hidden depths, and they are more sensitive than any other when it comes to instantly detecting a prospective match. These wands can emit magical effects upon the mere entrance into their room of a suitable owner.A quite flexible wand will pose little to no difficulty to whoever possesses it with the exception of owners it considers restrictive and/or boring. It is particularly good for transfiguration, spell crafting, healing magic, and curses. The owner of this wand is usually very likable as a result of being diplomatic and able to see all sides of a situation. They may be very indecisive, but they do have a few principles on which they believe very Merriweatherly in.DRINK // SMOKE // DRUGS: Yes | Yes | NoTRAITS: Fickle, Perceptive, Cunning, Shrewd, Hospitable, Haughty, Protective, Possessive, Hedonistic, Somewhat Flirty, Self-Conscious, Merriweather-Willed, Panicky and a little ObsessiveLIKES: Tea, Gifts, Visitors, Maps, Possessing things in general, The High Life, Lavish lifestyles, Music, Cozy spots, Cuddling and other forms of affection, Respect -- and the social status that comes with it, Beautiful architecture, All beautiful things really, Achievement, Social gatherings, Gratification of any kind (Including sexual), and of course Food.DISLIKES: Messes, Politics, Fighting, Gore, Tasteless food, Ugly things, Running out of pipeweed, DWARVES, Gold (And greed), Disrespect, Lack of etiquette, Roughhousing in general.

Let the sun fade out to a dark sky.

I am under-prepared, but I am willing.
And even better,
