Hi! I'm a stranger! Talk to me! - Zahnweh - 05-11-2014 --MMORPG background Well, I've spent around so many years playing various MMOs like... [First RP] Runescape This is my oldest, but the one I played the most.  I started in this game back when I was merely 14 or so years of age.  It had terrible character sprites, especially the men who looked just terrible.  I enjoyed it though, and I tried to RP in it back in the good old days.  I left it after burning myself out on tedious grinding.  Mining still hurts me to this day.  [Longest Played RP] Runescape, but second most goes to Guild Wars 2 and The Secret World. I spent so many years on Runescape, but my latest ventures were GW2 and TSW which I jumped into a while ago.  These two both hold respective qualities that I love, and aspects I wish they'd improve on.  I roleplayed in both of them, but GW2 lacked the immersion necessary for me to feel truly a part of the game, and TSW just lacked people to RP with. --RP experience I started RPing back in Gaia prior to attempting MMO Roleplays which are completely different from each other.  Even now, I still feel rather naive in the world of RPing, and there is always more to learn about.  One of the particular things I enjoy when RPing is to simply be a part of the game as a whole.  Immersion is an invaluable quality in my eyes.  --Character ideas/info Not much at the moment.  I enjoy creating characters that are majorly scholars in design, eccentric, eclectic, and paranoid in their attitude.  They're naturally seclusive, prideful, and egotistical in how they act and react to those around them.  Pride tends to be their biggest defining feature, but insecurity is their greatest flaw.  For the prideful tend to be blind to their own inadequacies and therefore when they're proven wrong, or bested in a field that they feel they're the elite in, they tend to fall apart without much effort.  --How did you learn about the coalition? Searched for it, mostly because I wanted to find an Roleplay to be a part of. --What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy? It's a mix between light and heavy at times.  Depending on my own energy and mental desire at the moment.  When I'm able to, I enjoy heavy Roleplays, but when I'm just in the mood for mindless exploration, I prefer light.  I'll always warn someone ahead of time if I'm feeling particularly lazy. --Anything from real life you'€™re comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc) I tend to work at nights at a Supportive Living company.  I go to client's houses, clean and care for them while they're asleep which gives me plenty of leeway to play on my computer during the periods when there's nothing to do.  This means that I work during nights, and sleep during the day so my schedule tends to be inverted.  Outside of work, I try to keep the same sleeping schedule for the sake of convenience, but sometimes, I cannot help totally messing it up beyond any hope of recovery.  I'm gay, but I try to not be the proud and out sort.  It's just a part of me, and something that shouldn't define who I am.  I'm an artist, but it's rare for me to complete a work I'm working on due to the fact that I usually go from one project to another. If you're interested in being friends, don't hesitate to push that button!  If you have any questions, please ask them!    I hope to hear back from you all, and I hope that I integrate into the group well enough. RE: Hi! I'm a stranger! Talk to me! - Gray - 05-11-2014 Hello hello and welcome.  Don't feel bad about being shaky in rp.  Just need to find people worth sticking around. Easier said than done.  Yeah, I know, heh. RE: Hi! I'm a stranger! Talk to me! - Melkire - 05-11-2014 ...you started with Runescape. And you have the original sprite of Meowth for an avatar. I owe you a greeting. HI! WELCOME TO RPC! RE: Hi! I'm a stranger! Talk to me! - Lightningtear - 05-11-2014 I have a friend with the same occupation.  Anyway, I started on gaia too and though I played GW2 the big one for me was TERA for awhile. Honestly if I could mix GW2's quest and instance system, with FFXIV lore and depths, along with TERA's active combat system I'd be in heaven.  Anyway, I'm sure most people have played Runescape at one point or another. Anyway, I'm not on your server but if you get into Balmung I'm quite the active RPer when it comes to open world and not just preset areas. So if you pop in I'd be happy to get together. I have a friend, Eudalie N'aal who is in the same boat as me. I also have a friend whose FC is dedicated to Scholarly types for RP purposes. So I hope you can find something similar. Anyway, welcome, I hope you find what you need/want! RE: Hi! I'm a stranger! Talk to me! - Mippa - 05-13-2014 Welcome welcome! By your characters description I think our characters could get along well, as I'm seeing a lot of similarities already! Welcome to the RPC (and welcome to Gilgamesh)! This place is a grand resource and I think you'll find a lot of information useful and the people here most welcoming!
