Alexander L. MacDougall

Alexander L. MacDougall (born Alasdair MacDhùghaill) is the son of Laird Iain MacDhùghaill and the scholar Moira nic Lachlainn. At thirty-six, he was gravely wounded on the field of Culloden. Desperate to survive, he sought out the witch Mòrag nic Fhionnlaigh and begged her for immortality. She granted his plea—and from that moment on, he began to drift through the centuries, guarding the truth of his origins as fiercely as his life.

Blessed with substantial wealth, Alexander has always enjoyed a comfortable, secure existence. In the modern day, he owns three art galleries in Edinburgh, Paris, and Venice. A dedicated patron of the arts, he offers support to gifted creators who lack the financial means to pursue their craft.

Through the ages, he has worn taken on countless professions. More than once, someone came dangerously close to uncovering his secret, forcing him to retreat into solitude. Yet this very air of mystery is what makes him so captivating. Stories cling to him — whispers and speculations — each more intriguing than the last.

Rules for RPing:

1. I prefer multi-para RPers. One-liners now and then are okay, though, as I quite well know that RL issues or work sometimes do not leave enough time for longer replies.

2. I know real life can happen anytime, keeping us from going online and replying regularly. We all have a life, a family, a job. All it takes to prevent misunderstandings or disappointment on both sides from happening, is to write a short message, saying one will not be able to be around much for the foreseeable future. But also know that long gaps, e.g. months of not working on a RP, can be a real muse killer.

3. What I really hate? Unfinished RPs. So let's better not plan long story arcs, unless you're willing to see it through to the end.

4. Please, do not send a starter without talking to me first. I like to plot or at least talk about a general idea before we start to RP. Thanks!

5. If I owe you a reply for more than two days, you have permission to kick my sorry ass. But I really try hard to reply to all ongoing RPs. Main writing partner(s) always come first, though.

Note No. 1: I enjoy writing about this character across all eras, starting from his birth in 1710, to allow for the widest range of roleplay scenarios. 

Note No. 2: I use AI tools to revise the texts I write with regard to flow and grammar, to refine them, and to better capture the mood of each scene. I also occasionally generate images with the help of AI tools, which I use for the RPs. However, all texts and ideas are my intellectual property. I do not let the AI do all the work. It is only meant to help me improve my writing style, as English is not my native language.
