Madda's turn!
When Madda was little, Madda loved playing with toys and pretending the characters had their own little TV show and different personalities. When Madda attended daycare, Madda continued this trend to entertain the younger kids. Madda kept a journal of all the adventures they had and enjoyed spending time with people who enjoyed it.Â
Madda's first ever MMO was World of Warcraft. Madda heard of role playing back then, but never really gave it any thought. Around Wrath, Madda's guild had cleared most of ICC and was waiting for Cataclysm to hit. During that time, we began to play pretend online and be in a family near Elwynn Forest. Of course, this led to many ridiculing us for doing so.Â
But Madda first started roleplaying on Gaia Online in the 9th grade. It was quite new and interesting to create a whole character based on only a single picture and such. Then came the first character Madda made. His name was *groan* Kiru Otashi, a wandering high school student that had a pet kitsune (Madda is almost an otaku. Just afraid of anime for some reason). Madda never had an issue being too powerful, and instead made Kiru incredibly underpowered. He lost most fights because of every hit landing, Madda thought Madda was power gaming.Â
Then came time to server transfer to Moon Guard, using Madda's night elf Druid as a character. He was *double groan* Navarion Razorwind and his backstory was basically his daughter kidnapped by an Orc roughly around the time of the Well of Eternity. Needless to say, Madda was informed and given a guide to read up on.Â
Madda began to seek roleplay in other games, which led, Madda to XIV due to Madda enjoying how visually different it looked from the games (it doesn't look like an anime style game, think pre FF7).Â
Why does Madda roleplay? It breaks up the monotony of simply playing the game normally. You'd get bored fast of the same thing over and over, and with roleplay, Madda can take a break and have fun with other characters living in a different world.Â
Madda also roleplay a because of Madda's love of writing. When Madda was young, Madda absolutely HATED writing. Even a single sentence drove Madda insane. This was mostly due to Madda's disability (Asperger's Syndrome) and how Madda couldn't focus correctly at a younger age. As Madda matured, it lessened and Madda began to write down reports for school quicker than ever. Madda usually turned a single one page "write your own story" assignment into several pages of characters interacting with one another. Madda hopes to one day get a job using writing (journalist or maybe even the high school student's dream of *GROAN* helping write a manga).Â
If there's one thing Madda enjoys most of all, it's watching other characters grow and make connections (Madda hates that term) more than Madda's own. Some characters are really well written and could deserve a series of their own.
