Hey everyone. Like Armachia, I'm a member that was around awhile back and am remaking my acquaintance.
However, unlike my counterpart, I do not post nearly as much. Usually this is because I can be found tinkering on the forums, messing around with a videogame, or working on a (super secret) project in development!
--MMORPG background
My background is typical of most gamers who take interest within this genre. It's vast, wonderous, and even a little sad to a normal person. My first MMORPG was Final Fantasy XI way back in 2003. Infact I cheated and received the copy one day before it was officially released due to a retail error. It makes me a terrible individual and to this day I cry in a corner once a year on the anniversary of the game. I've lead my own guild within FFXI and in World of Warcraft, usually participating in more of the endgame content specifically, but I've always enjoyed RPing with fun folks amidst a woodstained shanty or... thing. I've done TSW, Matrix Online (My absolute proudest underground achievement), viewed the monitor of someone who plays Everquest because I wouldn't touch it with a stick, Age of Conan, Lineage II, many Perfect World free 2 plays, Guild Wars 1 & 2, the list goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and- you get the idea.
--RP experience
My first RP experience was with a homebrew project during high school, and because of the flexibility I was given with the game, it kind of opened the doorway for me on established games such as DnD, Vampire: The Masquerade, and then on to all of the MMO's I listed above (plus the ones I didn't bore you with). I remember however, that I was extremely prone to making super emo Mary Sues back in the day (as you do in High School or whatever), but now have taken to making extremely challenging characters that are very much outside my comfort zone to RP. By far my biggest challenge is playing a character that is extremely flawed (such as a wifebeater or something very extreme) due to me just not even being near that kind of person myself. It is something I wish to overcome though as that's part of the challenge and fun.
--Character ideas/info
I do not know really, at this point I play many different types of characters, but my main revolves around my original Emo Batmobile design. But I hope to be able to lighten him up a little bit.
--How did you learn about the coalition?
I used to hit the login button here.
--What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy?
Mostly I go for light. It's not to say I do not enjoy it, but I'm usually all over the place on something else (I probably have ADD or something), but I enjoy spur of the moment RP the best I do have to say. Armachia is a little more involved than I am on the subject.
--Anything from real life you’re comfortable with sharing?
(Work, school, hobbies, etc)
I'm 28, dating Armachia, and we sometimes hate each other. In real life I am a QA / IT system's manager, and working on my own homebrew on the side with Armachia that I hope to publish one day. Also, I'm a leprechaun. not really, but maybe.
