guidelines

hello! thanks for taking the time to check this out. rules feel a little intense but they're needed, so i decided to slap this stuff together. my name is monty! i'm 21+ in the est (gmt-5) timezone. he/they prounouns are cool with me. there's no password to send in!

exclusivity.

the only muse i'll be exclusive with is b's illya. as far as mutual-exclusivity goes, i am.. not that. i try to interact with just about everyone who shows interest, and we don't have to be mutuals for it! however, mutuals get the priority, but just because i don't follow back right away doesn't mean i won't in the future. sometimes tumblr doesn't tell me i get new followers and i don't often check. feel free to shoot me a meme or something so we can get a thing going and i'll follow back.

banned.

i won't follow anyone portaying real people. i won't follow anyone portraying youtubers, viners, comedians, bands / singers, or historical people. that's a little weird to me. how would you like it if someone picked you up as a muse?

credits.

the theme base is by agirlingrey, but i've worked on everything else on this blog and none of it is open to public use. please don't steal. if you'd like a graphic made or something, let me know.

drama.

no... no. i don't deal with it. i really don't. if you have a problem with me, please approach me. vagueposting runs rampant on this site and there's nothing that annoys me more than that. if you post those or callouts chances are i won't follow back because i try to keep my dash free of drama.

shipping.

napoleon's a flirt. a shameless one. it doesn't mean i'm forcing a ship on you; if he's interested in your character, he'll show it. shipping rides on chemistry so that has to build, but napoleon won't stop himself from indulging in a fling.

format.

my bare minimum formatting is just small text, but beyond that, i usually just adapt to my partner's style, be it double small text or spacing / placement of writing. whatever you use will likely be whatever i use, as i prefer to keep styles consistent in threads. whatever you'd like works for me!

memes.

for one, i DON'T do reblog karma. if you have an issue with that, don't follow. i won't be forcing myself to send in a meme. if you have it in your rules that you require it, i won't follow back. sorry!

triggers.

this blog WILL contain triggers, the most likely being torture, and perhaps gore. everything will be tagged as trigger /. i only tag the very basics, but if there's something you want tagged, please let me know! i have no problem tagging anything you'd like me to tag. i don't want to make anyone uncomfortable on their dash. mun has no triggers.

notice.

as one of the cia's top agents, napoleon's a man to be revered. he's an extraordinary thief and a cunning man with a quicksilver tongue. don't underestimate him!

passwords.

i don't send in rule passwords because.. no. rest assured, i read rules before following. if you can't trust that, that's on you.

i think that's it for now? i'll add to these rules if it becomes necessary, but i'm not really a strict person. thanks for taking the time to read through my rules.

• we're teaming up with the russians.
  set just prior to / during the timeline of the film. a c.i.a. agent whose assignments around the world coincide with the theft of masterpieces in the local galleries. they don't often pay him enough for his lavish tastes.

  ---

  united network command for law and enforcement.
  set any time after the formation of u.n.c.l.e. in the cold war timeline. international affairs are messy business, but when you work in perfect synchronization with your fellow agents, well - it's little more than a day in the life.

  ---

  twenty first century sweet talker. ( modern : CIA )
  modern verse for solo in the c.i.a. napoleon solo is at the c.i.a.'s mercy, and he quite enjoys having some measure of freedom in exchange for services as an agent. it's far better than rotting in a terrible cell, after all; he's got a life to live, and he'd be damned if he didn't take advantage of the opportunity to live it to the fullest.

  ---

  take care of business. ( modern: U.N.C.L.E. )
  modern verse for solo in u.n.c.l.e. now working with agents solo can trust with his life, he doesn't feel nearly as obligated now as he did in the past. there is a measure of comfort in working with agents that understand him, and while the three of them may have a number of incidents in which they pick at one another, it's safe to say that he trusts his fellow u.n.c.l.e. agents. and their handler.

  ---

  the theft of your heart and your wallet.
  can either be set before solo's arrest or as an alternative verse where he was never captured. he's running around the world, enjoying the luxuries he can now freely afford, enjoying the beautiful sights and the beautiful people. he's also willing to acquire something for you personally if your bank is impressive.
  
  

• specializing in greek and roman sculpture.
  napoleon solo, famed arts and antiquities dealer is well-known and highly respected among the community. he's very much proud of the name he's made for himself and relishes the fabulous lifestyle he lives. he can often be found at galas and extravagant dinners, coming home to his penthouse apartment often with someone to keep him company.

  ---

  dressed to kill.
  he's not willing to let go of his freedom. what he is willing to do to keep it, however, is pull the trigger - and it's no different, he thinks to himself, given that he's killed on orders a number of times before. just pull the trigger, don't think about it. because if he does? he'll jeopardize his opportunity to live freely.

  ---

  a refined feline fatale.
  quite the cat, isn't he? high standards, incredible tastes-- he expects nothing but the best and he can do little more than purr when he receives it. it's a matter of getting on his good side; adversaries might earn themselves a hiss or a slash of his claws. no matter how lax he may seem, he's a beast to be revered. be careful!

  ---

  blood like a fine red wine.
  oh, war was such a treacherous thing, was it not? how it had carved him into such a distinctly different man, so terribly aware of his mortality, met with the sight and reality of death on fields of violence; funny thing it is, then, to greet the prospect of immortality at the cost of a craving, and who is he to deny himself such a promise? bitten, and turned, for a life unending; drain another of their life to sate himself, and he will continue to thrive.

  ---

  there is lust in a human no charm can tame.
  incubus au. coming soon.
  
  
• i wouldn't dare limit myself to one planet.
  well, there's no excitement in settling for earth alone; he's more than ready to expand his horizons across the universe, to visit other planets and galaxies, to make profit off of what he can earn around the universe. it'd be a shame to limit himself, after all; his nimble fingers can earn him a profit on more than one planet, and he'd be damned to let the opportunities slip by.
  
  
  u.n.c.l.e. meets the league.
  t.h.r.u.s.h. meets gotham's latest shining villains. and in that regard? u.n.c.l.e. meets a number of criminals they've got to face. agent solo and agent kuryakin have brought forth, to the famed batman, the fact that t.h.r.u.s.h. intends to employ gotham's worst for the sake of tasteless world domination, and solo doesn't have very much of a choice. he'll work with the bat and the league if he must - there's no use in acting as though he'll stand a change against those more than capable of doing away with him with a snap of their fingers.

additional

manhood seems to be a game changer for anyone. a new yorker born and raised, good solo joined the army, and it wasn't long before he found himself posted in europe for the second world war from 1945 to 1952.
rose to the rank of sergeant, known for distinguished service. greed is a tantilizing motivator and profits were quick to be made come the end of those haunting years; seven years of service later, the black market had napoleon solo! shining in neon lights, called out to him like a siren, and who was he to deny himself the very possible chance at a lavish life in the aqcuisition and sales of of historic works of art?
solo made a pretty penny, made headlines around the world, and made four different countries hate him enough to form task forces in order to get their hands on this elusive little thief---
they did. it was luck. six years later in rochester, new york; napoleon solo fell on the eleventh of june, 1958. but you can't let a man like that waste away behind bars. put him to good use. the c.i.a.'s got a new favorite hound and solo's still got his freedom.

( he's still making that pretty penny. )
