I first got started 14 years and eight or so months ago on a long-dead html chat site called Chatropolis. Started out in the anime room, Otaku Heaven, where my very first RP experience set the tone for my mindset to this very day; that being where I, playing as generic Ocarina of Time Link, was accosted by a World of Darkness-style high-level vampire who proceeded to brutally murder me. Henceforth, I have always acted under the impression that everyone I meet will try to kill me if given half an opportunity and have never once built a character that was not combat-ready in some fashion.
After a few years on Chatro, I moved over to Gaia Online and buried myself into the organizations/military-based forum niche, creating an air force base from which I proceeded to terrorize crime syndicates and other related ne'er-do-wells, culminating in about ten of them banding together and staging an attack that involved Gundams and kill sats while I was offline; about the only way that could have succeeded. That kinda worked out in my favor, as the forum had started to become a byzantinian labyrinth of rules and conditions in order to be able to attack another group, and it was turning into too much trouble. That attack gave me an opportunity to move over to the free-for-all forum, which was basically the same idea but with the standing rule of "as long as you've got people online, you're open to attack." Feeling that the air force base had gotten a little small, I branched out into an entire nation built into an island archipelago and wound up being the only modernized force in the entire forum. Everybody else was some kind of wizard or Naruto village. Now, most of the other long-standing groups in there didn't look too kindly on us upstarts, and thought that they could run roughshod over us because they had 15+ members to each of their groups, sometimes upwards of 30, and we had like 7 at peak. So in proud Gaia tradition, they boasted that they could take us out at their leisure. We called their bluff. Something to the tune of thirty factions organized and banded together to fight us. We killed them all in a preemptive cruise missile strike.
After a while, I got bored of Gaia and discovered Halo so I stopped doing serious RP for a while, until a buddy of mine discovered a Pokémon forum (Pokémon being what the island nation drew upon, which was part of the reason we were so derided) that we all mass-migrated to and restarted our island nation there. Incidentally, that forum is owned by my now-girlfriend, which is obviously where we met. It's been where we hang out a lot until we started playing TOR, lamenting 2/3's of the way to cap that we hadn't joined an RP server. After losing interest in TOR, one day the ladyfriend begged and pleaded for me to try out FF14 with her, which I was initially opposed to because I likened it to FFXI-2 and I hated XI. Needless to say, seven characters and nineteen 50's later, I do not regret giving in to her begging on that occasion.
tl;dr: Overly-militant, passive-aggressive distrust machine.
