plot with jean!

these are just some ideas based on his current goings-on, but if you have other ideas, come chat to me about a potential relationship dynamic/idea you have. i’m all ears! i’m not interested in bare-bones meet and greet threads. i prefer to discuss how characters meet the first time, then go into threads with their meeting pre-established.

a lot of my plotting is done via DMs or jean's character thread on discord! because i find it very difficult to manage shippers lol. i also don't have characters other than jean anyway. you can also ping me in #plotting and i'll be there.

CURRENT STATUS (june 2026): took almost the entire spring season off. let's see if it helped lol. keep in mind that scottish summers are kind of hell, so the further we get into the season, the more fucky my schedule is going to be as i avoid a very particular kind of heat. SORRY.

perpetual plots

these plots will always be available even after season changes.

GODMODDING VIA THE FOG THAT JACKS YOU OFF

jean’s winter path rank 5 gift allows him to communicate directly with denouement itself, meaning he can learn anything about anything (names, locations, histories, you name it!) yes, he can learn secrets about people he’s never even met. yes, he’s willing to obtain and use those secrets to his advantage. the biggest downside is he has to go through the pale to do it, so his mental and physical state take a pretty hard beating each time. regardless, he’s willing to use it to the advantage of others too, if they’ve got something really good to offer in return.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND...

i am not interested in ooc surprises, so PLEASE make sure every mun is in agreement on what is being learned about their muse/plot.
this works better if jean is physically closer to what he's being asked to find (eg. information about a notus resident will be quicker and easier to find while he's in notus), so having a location of what you're looking for helps significantly.
the more information that’s required from him, the more of a psychological and physical toll it takes on him. sometimes the answers are vague unless he keeps pushing himself for a clearer picture. the more he pushes himself through the pale, the longer it'll take him to recover from the symptoms of collateral pale sickness. due to the toll it can take on him, he won’t say yes to just anything, unless the payment is good, or the information is relatively simple to obtain.
he doesn't care what information is needed or why it's needed, but he's less likely to offer up information on people he personally knows. he's also liable to withhold information if he feels like, for lack of a better term, the vibes are off.
he's far more likely to say yes if one of the following is true:

your muse knows him well enough, or has helped him in the past
how much/what exactly he's being offered in return. (sex isn't payment. sorry.) (drugs might be. sorry.)
acquiring this information benefits denouement as a whole in some way

FEATURING JEAN FROM DEVIL MAY CRY

jean has accidentally become a half-demon. you know how it is with spaghetti. this probably opens him up to some shenanigans with demon slayers, monster hunters, and/or even other demons. he typically tries his best to stay out of trouble with it all, and he's really not looking for a fight a majority of the time, but that doesn't mean he's not willing to fight back when provoked. he also struggles to stay in complete control when he goes full beast mode due to said beast mode being fuelled by fury, of which he has plenty of, so while he does try to stay out of trouble... sometimes he can't help it. it can lead to problems. in any case, your demon hunters and slayers are welcome to try and attack him. or befriend him. it's probably easier just to attack him. they'll probably just end up attacking him. they should attack him.

FREE DAD JUST LOOK SAD AROUND HIM

jean understands the importance of a mentor/guardian in life, even if it's just to have someone to tell you to stop acting like a moron from time to time. it also gives him a sense of responsibility that prevents him from spiralling and fucking up his own life, if he has someone else relying on him. he's been in denouement for three years now, and lived for 35 long years before that, so he likes to think he knows a thing or two about how not to fuck things up. basically, this one could be mutually beneficial; any characters that need someone to keep them right will also keep him from letting himself rot in his own apathy.

seasonal plots

these plots will be available based on the seasonal plots, or what i'm looking for that particular season outwith the seasonal site plots. if it's not listed here but you have an idea, then feel free to bring it up.

IT'S PRIDE MONTH. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS...

it goes without saying that i'm hopelessly dependent on the sexuality exploration. this pride month, i'd love for jean to actually engage with his sexuality/gender. he's got as far as being able to joke about liking men - albeit with people he knows are also queer in some way - but as a whole, he's still very closeted and has pretty antiquated ideas of queerness (for those that don't know, queerphobia was very loud in revachol, and he was a cop. so it was even louder in his daily life). he has no idea how to navigate being masc while still being attracted to men, or how to be masc without being toxic about it to compensate for what he thinks is a failure in his masculinity.

what this would look like interaction-wise:

talking about being transgender! as much as he hates to admit it, being transgender takes up so much of his mental real estate, but he doesn't really know where to unload any of it. he's only out to two people, and it wasn't by choice, which has been an issue for him for about a year now and has made him feel like he has very little control over who knows and who doesn't. it would probably really benefit him to come out to at least one person on his own terms. as for who he'd be willing to tell, it's a bit of a mixed bag lol:

someone he's known for a while and is close to. this one, however, is also tricky for him because he feels like he has a lot more to lose if they take it poorly. "that's vague and unhelpful!" yeah well look who you're dealing with.

someone he knows a little who is openly queer or has some gender shit going on of their own -- even better if they're trans masc too, but that's not a requirement. he'd just feel a bit more understood.

[queer] strangers that he doesn't feel like it matters how well they take it because as far as he's concerned/knows, he'll never see them again (this could be the start of something beautiful however).

actually attempting to go to some pride event! he skipped pride '23, '24. and '25. he's been here for three years, but the idea still overwhelms him greatly. he might be persuaded to go with someone else. i'll warn you that he probably won't be very cute about it and he'll likely make his discomfort known very early on, so this might not be 100% uncomplicated fluff, but he will try to have fun and keep an open mind so it won't be like... completely miserable either.
summer lovin' if it sucked! killing two birds with one stone: help him be less afraid of his sexuality and the idea of having sex with others as a trans person, both of which hold him back tremendously. he is not ready for a relationship, but quite simply: he misses wearing the strap. do you have a muse that needs the strap? well here you go. try hitting on the #masc #bear at the pride event/club that looks like a cornered prey animal. in fact, maybe if they're nice enough about it, he won't even use the strap. just raw t-dick babeyyyyy.

it can be a one-time thing, or lead to something extremely messy. or something sort of normal, if you're insanely patient. whatever happens happens.

a combination of any of the above? i think it all kind of feeds into each other. i think in general getting closer to people via opening up and being more honest both about and to himself about what he likes and how he sees himself will benefit him greatly, especially in his current state (abject misery and grief and having absolutely zero idea of who he is without someone else to attach himself to)

HEAD TO TOE IN CREOSOTE

jean will be at the camp. he's a very physical-activity-oriented person and might get a little intense about it. although his relationship with exercise is kind of unhealthy, i think this would actually be the most lighthearted way to interact with him overall. especially if your character is interested in being more physically fit - or is already and just wants to be on his level. he really misses having someone to do stupid gym bro shit with.

BUT ALSO! he just likes doing things, so even if you don't want to do any of the physical stuff, he's here.

i haven't decided if he'll be in the badlands games. possibly. let's kill him.

I DON'T HAVE LYRICS FOR SATURNALIA.

jean will be going there. ... i don't have much else to say yet. but this might be a fun place for the speedrun achievement.

ROMANCING

i’m open to attempts, but it will currently most likely lead nowhere (unless you feel like being extremely patient lol). the most likely outcome at the moment is friends with benefits, some on-again-off-again bullshit that nobody's really all that committed to, or a really, really slow burn. it's been a year since jean lost his partner and best friend of 10 years, the only person he could say with 100% certainty knew him better than he knew himself. losing both his arms would be easier than losing harry has been, and while he's been working on moving on, he's not really ready for a serious relationship with anyone.

in future, if/when he is ready for something serious, i must make it clear that jean vicquemare is 110% more committed to harry du bois than he is to your muse. THIS WILL NEVER CHANGE. should he ever enter a relationship and someone apps harry, your muse will essentially become third wheel in their own relationship. it also goes without saying that jean is very mentally unwell and this affects how he approaches relationships and people. if you want cute and uncomplicated fluff, you gotta go elsewhere. you can’t fix him.

SEXUAL CONTENT

somewhat open to it. he is disgusted by his own desires and appearance, but after having an active and enjoyable sex life for the last 2 years, he’s a bit more in tune with what he likes and dislikes. he MIGHT! be open to sex with strangers if he feels confident that they won't catch feelings... because he will not be catching feelings nor entertaining anyone else's any time soon lol. also keep in mind that jean is still coming to terms with his attraction to men. he is DL and not really cute about it.

for those interested in the specifics:

jean is primarily a top. he loves being both a dom top and a service top. he just really enjoys any opportunity to use a strap-on. he doesn't really mind bottoming, but he mostly enjoys it as some s&m shit.
he's attracted to women in general, with a slight preference for more traditionally feminine women. when it comes to men, he very much prefers very traditionally masculine men (muscle, body hair, facial hair, etc.). the less body fat, muscle, and body hair a man has, the less likely they are to catch jean's attention... UNLESS! he's in a very particular mood, but that mood usually involves him being kind of mean to them lol. in general his preference is people that put some kind of emphasis on his own masculinity either via contrast or mirroring.
he likes an age gap both ways. however anyone under 25 need not apply. older men and women must apply.
i know i said you can't fix him, but t4t could fix him. a little. he'd certainly feel a lot more comfortable.
he is a kinky weirdo. whatever level of kinky you thought when i said that, multiply it by about 10. he's willing to try anything at least once if it means the possiblity of feeling something. he will leave this mortal coil with no fetish left unturned. in short: the more degrading, painful, and/or dangerous it is for either party, the more he enjoys it.

we can either rp smut or fade to black. i don't mind which.

FIGHTING

yes! it's likely to happen because he's a jackass at times. he only really picks on people his own size and knows when a fight isn't worth picking at all. just be aware he knows how to fight with actual combat training, growing up in a shitty environment, and new-found rage-based demon energy powers. AND ☝️ he's also fucking insane, so it's an "at your own risk" sort of deal here.

INJURING

yes. nothing fatal of course unless we discuss it beforehand, but his half-demon status allows him to heal from injuries fairly quickly. the more severe they are, the longer it takes to heal, but a chib with a switchblade won’t bother him for long at all.

KILLING

no, unless there’s a failsafe, but i’m generally not a huge fan of death plots, especially not repeated ones.

MIND READING

feel free, but please be aware that this will result in being able to read descriptions of violent impulses, distressing intrusive thoughts (involving gore/mutilation, description of corpses/murder scenes/suicide scenes, harming others, harming animals, and description of sexual acts), thoughts related to suicide and self-harm, and the general unpleasantness that comes with Mental Illness™️. please don't do this unless you can handle these topics. they will be tagged and spoilered.

rp preferences

i don't want to look too high maintenance by having a list of rules or anything, but i've included things that i feel are typically important to know when roleplaying with someone.

i have ADHD!!! this is the most important thing to remember about me. i'm really not cute about it either. i forget things within minutes of reading them, i have no concept of time, i struggle with processing things, and i am very, very, very forgetful. it frustrates me just as much as it frustrates you. i do everything i can to keep my own ass in check, but that in itself is a full-time job. if i seem like i'm ignoring you, i apologise first of all, and i assure you that i am never intentionally ignoring anyone.

on this note, you are 100% allowed to pester me for a response to something. if i haven't responded to an urgent DM, ping, or something you need a response to quickly, then you can just nudge me again with another ping or DM. this also applies even if it's not urgent or time-sensitive, but you'd still like a response soon. i appreciate reminders like this.

i prefer iccs/rapid-fire over threads. i run out of steam very easily when it comes to threads on top of all of the above reasons. i'm trying to get better at shorter, quicker responses. iccs are a little tricky to schedule because of my timezone. as of the time of writing this (30/7/26), i'm usually available between 9AM - 11PM GMT. i can be around until 1AM, but as you can imagine, the quality of my writing drops significantly the later it gets. i don't mind splitting up iccs into multiple parts.

(what time is it in scotland right now?)

regarding ic≠ooc... although i imagine it goes without saying, past rp experiences have me scared, so i'll say it simply: JEAN VICQUEMARE IS A JERK. jean is rude, judgemental, grumpy, and does not mince his words for the sake of others' feelings. just because jean says it, does not mean that i agree with it ooc. i do not use jean to voice my ooc opinions. i do not base my opinion of you on how your muse acts, or how they treat jean. i fully expect you to operate on similar rules. i can't force you to take me at my word, so my word is here for you to take as you will.
with regards to shipping: i like it. i'm open to it. i'm also really laissez-faire about it, because it's not my end goal in a dynamic. meaning, sometimes i joke about it, but me joking about shipping is not me "subtly" hinting that i want to do it. i like when it happens organically over time, and i don't mind if it doesn't work out and ends badly. just because i say i ship characters in canon does not mean i expect them to be denny canon. if i want a ship to happen, i'll ask you if you're fine with it, and whatever happens happens. in the meantime, you don't need to panic and hit me with 50 disclaimers just because a shipping joke was made ic or ooc. i promise it's not that serious.
triggers and off-limits topics: i don't have many triggers that you need to worry about when plotting with me. i'm up for basically anything. i just ask that we avoid in-depth descriptions/discussions of pregnancy, menstruation, and degenerative brain diseases. i also do not like jokes about sniping me from nearby rooftops (this is an ocd thing), or discussion/jokes about lobotomy.
i won't interact with people who roleplay harry potter characters. this is a very specific hard limit. the moment you decide to app the harry potter character is the moment we cease all interaction both ic and ooc, even if we have ongoing roleplays. i will not be reading your thesis on why it's ok for you to play this character actually.
