As you can probably guess by me posting in the Welcome Desk and by this being my first post I'm an entirely new person joining the fray, so, hi!
I'm not new to RP at all (though I did just play in my first play by post last week! Â Outside of Doctor Who, I don't think there's a better use of the phrase Timey-Wimey for how that can get though it's super fun) and I've played in a few MMOs prior to now. Â I run LARPs IRL though I'm on break after running a two year Legend of Five Rings game and I'm currently in the process of playing/leaving a Vampire the Masquerade (Not Requiem, I wish it were...) game.
I love RP though and that's what usually draws me into games. Â Straight social... I get a little bored but in past games (GW2, City of Heroes, TSW) I loved the idea of meandering around with my fellow players in the world and roleplaying through events and weaving ourselves into the story and meeting new people. Â I flat out love meeting new people in game. Â Seriously, I do a happy raptor dance IRL when I run into RPers in the game world (there are no gifs of this... yet...)
I will admit my bias is older FF games. Â Though I love X and refuse to hear ill spoke of it. Â Let's see... I like both J and Kpop though I've got a HUGE Morning Musume biasÂÂ so that might be a dangerous one to bring up. Â I actually legitimately love hearing about people's characters and how they're creating them and their history and stuff so if you ever want an ear to bounce ideas off from? Â I'm your huckleberry.
So far I'm not entirely certain what I'm playing but I'm leaning towards a Miqo'te Arcanist who's parents were something of anthropologists investigating the beast tribes to study the primals but that's all gooby-wooby forming in my head.
OH! Â I also draw! Â I'm stupid lazy though... so I'll freely admit getting me to do pictures can be like pulling teeth though I'll always finish it. Â But, since I usually only charge in game money (or assistance with bosses) I think that's okay to wait two weeks for my lazy butt. Â
Lookin forward to meeting you all!
