A friend of mine once told me that 'it's only ego if you can't back it up'. Too many people like to confuse confidence for arrogance -- there's a big difference.

Not to get all psychological, but some people are actually just 'wired' to take things people say literally. I'm like that to an extent, but I've learned that people here are usually just shitposting.

Happy Anniversary, Ailyn. Six years ago, you gave me a kindred soul, and brought light into a life which for all intents and purposes had been mostly nothing but darkness.

Valentine's Day's bittersweet when you've endured a long-distance relationship for over five years. Here's to celebrating the strength of a meaningful bond, instead of taking a shallow and easy path.

This bio will get reconstructed once I've left the site for good. I'll be collecting my data in the background for now, and sorting some loose ends. I'll be on and off to do it, so don't think I'm back if you see me around. Once I've dealt with everything, I'll log out properly and remove my 'ghost' status, and that'll be the last this site sees of me. This community is in serious need of growing up, and I'm not the least bit surprised that role-plays die here so frequently.

The 'Grim Reaper's Gambit' role-play is likely to reboot elsewhere eventually. The role-play will have some modifications, so contact me if you're curious since the original project won't accurately explain everything. There's no determined date for it to happen yet, since I've got other priorities and I'm not investing a lot of time in it until enough of the people interested have free time to properly commit (lack of dedication on the part of some players practically destroyed the previous version; it's very apparent it would've died even if I hadn't decided to leave). There's a group that're quite interested, but most of them are busy.

Anyway, come back later for an update later -- or don't; it's your life.

Contact Details

Tell me who you are or I possibly won't accept the request, since I assume most requests are bots.
Yes, people who I rarely/never spoke to - or who never met me - while I was still here are welcome.
No, those who disrespected me (and aren't sorry) while I was here or are trolls/immature in general aren't welcome.
Also, keep in mind that not all of these are currently being used actively, so friend request replies might be delayed on some of them.

Playstation Network (PSN): Shoryu_Magami
(I'm fairly easy to contact through here, though I'm not really gaming much due to my main project's workload.)

Discord: Shoryu Magami#4323
(Unlike Skype, I primarily text chat on this instead of voice chat. It's currently one of the easiest ways to find me. It causes my PC a lot of problems though.)

Skype: solitaryangel1983
(Usually running on my phone, mostly so I can talk to my fiancé, so it's easy to find me here. I've currently got no access to it on PC. It might take a while to see requests.)

Facebook: James Koutsoukis - Shoryu Magami
(Barely ever on this, but it exists. Mostly exists so @Ailyn Evensen can list me as her fiancé. You'll find me easily on messenger if you add me, but I don't do much else.)

Yahoo IM: shoryu_magami
(Does this even still exist anymore? It used to be my main method of text chat, but it's not on my current PC.)

@GarlandDaHero

Right. I don't know too much about the original anime, except that it basically ends really badly due to the manga not being close to finished.
Planned to respond to people earlier than this, but it's frankly been a shitty couple of days.

@Landaus Five-One

I try to be as informative as I can, without spoiling too much.

As for what you described to me:

I don't have spaceships or such in my project (as I mentioned already), but the whole dimensional/multiverse thing is a big point I relate to. Most of the characters in my story whose names are worth mentioning could outright destroy dimensions/multiverses (and far beyond) with a thought if they were operating at their full power.

The people in my circle who follow GA actually think I've probably made the most powerful/broken fictional series to date, but I've gone out of my way to balance the characters in a way where they more or less cancel each other out most of the time. I haven't deliberately tried to make them insanely powerful, but it came as a result of me aiming to both create something unique and also to really mess with esoteric/metaphysical concepts.

@GarlandDaHero

I know about Berserk (I know most of the spoilers), but I haven't seen it personally.

@BrokenPromise

Actually, I relate to what you said at the end there (though I don't really host fandom role-plays personally, and only rarely join them), because I actually consider the style of characters I create in terms of their concepts and such to not really fit at all into any setting except my own. Like their concepts, even their characterization is usually something distinctly my own. The same applies to my settings. This is one of the reasons why I don't comfortably fit into other people's role-plays as a general rule, because I really only have a passion for writing because of GA, so when I can't use those characters I feel 'meh' about a role-play (there's a few exceptions) and lose interest.

That's also why I told Garland previously that I have trouble making characters outside of GA, which means that most of the characters I do end up making either adopt ideas or characterization from the GA cast or - like all the GRG characters I've made - can and will get transferred over to GA as 'expies' of sorts, which is easier with something like GRG since it's part of GA's multiverse.
@Kho

'A'?
@BrokenPromise

Actually, I originally had that information in the initial post, but I removed it for some reason I don't remember. In retrospect, I should've - and normally would've - kept it there, since it'd prevent this issue we've had. I really haven't been thinking too clearly with everything on my mind lately, so cheers for reminding me about it. I figured people would be able to keep track of who's used what letters, but if I'm able to make an honest mistake like that then other people could. I'll use the format I originally went with from now on.

@Kho

'E'?
Negative fourteen.

(I almost feel like I should stop posting here, to balance out Haley's absence.)
@BrokenPromise

Yeah, I won't beat myself up over being human. Anyway, I appreciate you mentioning it though, especially since I didn't exactly try to make that one hard or anything.

I pretty much intended for whoever guessed it accurately to be the person who'd get first dibs on hosting the next one (I'd only host it if no one else wanted to, basically). While I don't know if they would've answered the whole thing if I hadn't slipped up, Kho having the next game makes sense, since that mistake there obviously threw things off a bit.

@Kho

You get to host the next one, if you'd like.
@BrokenPromise

Wait, we got an 'L'? Holy shit, that goes to show how out of it I've been lately. It actually is 'JUST AN EXAMPLE'. Fuck.

@Kho

The 'L' was actually right. I really don't know why I thought it wasn't at the time. I might need to check what time I posted that.

Anyway, that basically means it's over. I figured I'd use that as the example, since I didn't know if people'd even want to do this. If someone else wants to do the next one, they can, since I'm clearly overworking myself lately. Otherwise I'll make a new one soon. I'd normally post the next round in this same post, but other people might want a go hosting, and this game ended weirdly due to how out of it I am.
@Kho

You got it.
