Since I am extremely lazy, I think I'll just use the template provided.

 

I've been playing MMORPGs since roughly the advent of Runescape. After that I stuck with Guild Wars for a long time until I discovered WoW during The Burning Crusade after trying out the original game for a while. I've dabbled in ToR and GW2 but ultimately, this is the MMORPG that I have put more hours into aside from WoW and it seems to value my time, so I'll be sticking with it for a long while. 

 

I have role-played extensively over the years in numerous fantasy backgrounds. I've had more characters than my years on this planet combined. I've done more than just fantasy role-play and I've role-played on/with tons of different mediums, even engaging in LARP, table-top RP and very text heavy novella RP (though I really don't have the stomach or free time for that anymore). These days, I'm more interested in organic, flowing and completely natural role-play that's primarily character driven as opposed to doing a lot of micro-managing/metagaming/etc.

 

I'm very keen on world and character building, and I'm always willing to collaborate with people of varying experience. My only standard is a standard that ensures everyone is having a good time.

 

At the moment I'm playing as a mercenary/sell-sword who travels around and works for a company in Hingashi, out of an office where I'll be playing most of my concepts from. Originally, he's a war orphan and he has a lot of angst concerning his upbringing but hey, gotta keep working towards that long term revenge plot. Aside from the character I'll be primarily playing, I'm working on concepts for a deposed Ishgardian temple knight turned DRK, a hard working down on her luck lalafel and a loony mystical primal worshipping au ra. Fairly simple premises, but I always prefer to start off with simple ideas and see where they lead. 

 

I learned about this forum via google when I was looking for a means to create one of those 'character card' things you see floating around. Unfortunately, I'm having very poor luck figuring out how those work.

 

 

In regards to 'light, medium, heavy', I generally find these terms to be limiting to the scope of role-play and extremely subjective. Is it on a basis of grammar/spelling ethic? Respect for an ongoing narrative? The amount of time you spend role-playing? Obviously, there are a lot of factors. The best way that I can handle this question is just to say that I prefer role-play to meet the standard of the setting it's occurring in. I enjoy immersion and I don't like that being broken.

 

In terms of 'text quality/quantity', etc, I find that some people still believe that quantity > quality but over the years, I've learned to refine my descriptions out of respect for those I'm playing with. I put as much time as I feel into role-play and I take my character's consistency pretty seriously. I do a lot of story planning, plotting, etcetera but I don't write a lot of short stories, primarily because I prefer role-playing. 

 

Tl;dr - I'll match whoever I'm playing with if it's enjoyable so long as I don't have to sabotage my character in the process. 

 

I'm currently unemployed and I'm attending catch up education sessions for adults. I volunteer for mental health services and I'm a pretty physically active person. 

That's about it for now! If you see me wandering around with the RP tag up, poke me! I'm pretty shy.

Hey, feel free to add me on discord Nova#8287. I think our characters would mesh pretty well. Maybe we can get something going. If nothing else I can show you how to make a character carrd.
