HEY DUDES! I'm Metal! I first got into forum roleplays over twenty years ago, off and on, and I'm finally at a point where I'm ready to get back into it again! I love big, sweeping stories and epic adventures that combine fantasy and sci-fi and darkness and light, tales that subvert expectations and challenge stereotypes about how things are and what things should be. The shadows can be loving and empowering, just as the light can be harsh and hostile and utterly alien. I'm terminally optimistic, and I like stories where the characters triumph over adversity and are put through hell to earn their happy ending. I like goblins! And metal! Power, thrash, speed, folk, and melodeath. Powerful, epic, wailing guitars, thundering drums, hearty singers. Songs of fantasy adventures, sci-fi battles, self-empowerment and hope for the future! Also I'm gay as hell.
