I'm 31, I have no background in writing per say, but I tested genius in Writing and Reading when I was young (Which I felt was useless because it only works for the English language, any other language and it all falls apart 
) and wrote a LOT in my teen years. I'm picking it up again and want to be a published author someday.
My RP Background is... let's see..
I started roleplaying when I was 16 when my boyfriend at the time introduced me to Vampire: The Masquerade and I got really into it because I had always liked acting and was in Drama club and such. I felt like roleplaying was better than standard acting because I was acting out my own words and really got into the acting part of it. I did some LARPing but... well, LARPing is pretty ridiculous and I always ended up back to dice rolls and tables. The problem with that though is that dice rolling can consume an RP session so I generally avoided games where there were a lot of rules for that sort of thing (Sup D&D)
When I was 22, FFXI came out and was my first time really playing an MMO. I thought everyone RPed in MMOs so I was pretty surprised to find out that, NOPE, they did not. I was by myself, didn't know a soul, but made one of the only RP Linkshells on the Quetz server, the Crimson Pirates. I'm not even sure how I found so many people who RPed (Or how people in the LS found them, which was mostly the case lol), but I did and the LS was successful - it lasted longer than me in that game anyway (I last 3 and a half years, it lasted 6 or 7). The CP holds a very special place in my heart and I even have a Tattoo that says クリムソンパイレーツ　on my foot ("Crimson Pirates" though it does have an extra ト [To] at the end that I really need to get fixed *sigh* I ignore it because it's pronounced "Toe" and it's on my big toe XD)
