Hello, DrakeRaids is the name, and I tend to just go by 'Drake.' I used to be decently active over here a while back, before the big data loss it looks like, and am looking to dip my toes in the water. I'm a pretty easygoing guy all and all, with a decent number of hobbies. I read a decent amount but I don't care much for TV or most Anime unfortunately. I tend to not have the attention span for it- I watch a few episodes of something, get distracted, and wander off to do something else. Miniature wargaming is something that I really enjoy, and am a pretty avid Warmachine and Hordes play, along with Relic Knights and X-Wing. I likewise enjoy video games, particularly one with heavy tactical focus. Dawn of War 2, League of Legends, and Xcom. I also have a fun time with procedural loot generators, aka Diablo and its ilk. Thats one skinner box I'm firmly stuck in.
I'm a college student and work part time. I typically have a large among of free time for various rps. I have a very strong tendency towards more fantastical and strange situations and settings though. Slice of life has never really appealed for me much, nor historical fiction. I also am not really comfortable playing canon characters, though I am hardly beyond fandom rps. I tend to like to be able to develop my own characterization and playing an existing character can be both constraining and stressful- I always feel like I have to push a little bit to do the character justice, you know? Its one thing if I butcher my own creations, its something else entirely to disrespect someone elses. I do enjoy the occasional romance but the existence of lack thereof is rarely a dealbreaker.
Writing wise I am pretty comfortable at casual. I can do advanced I suppose, but I'm not a terribly amazing writer, and my grammar is occasionally lacking. I RP largely 'for fun' and that tends to limit the time I'm willing to devote to a post. I don't do one liners or anything but I don't usually have the patience to work out several paragraphs, most of my posts sit around 2-3 in that regard. I like to be able to contact someone outside the forum if I'm partnered with them for a game, ideally though some form of instant messaging. AIM, Steam, Skype, Yahoo, I'm not picky. I prefer seamless conversation on the whole, though I prefer to do most games PBP. Just a quirk of mine.
I'm in the eastern time zone if that information is relevant to anyone, and I hope to get to know some of you soon. I'll be kicking around for a bit to see if anything catches my fancy. See ya'll about.
