I am ModeGone.  A friend of mine showed me this site and encouraged that I join.  *waves*

I have been roleplaying for quite some time now.  It has been... fifteen years or more?  I do not remember exactly when I began but it started out as a way to escape from my frustrations, make new friends, and explore fictional worlds in a way that you cannot with just books or video games.  However length does not exactly say how well I have roleplayed especially since the first few places I roleplayed were graphical chatrooms and a few forums' roleplay sections.  The quality has varied based on what characters from what series and how familiar I am with either/both, not to mention that I am more accustomed to one-on-one or with small groups (up to five people).

When I was in chatrooms it tended to be rapid-fire posting, though a few groups allowed for story-style.  Forums allowed for more thought to be placed into the posts on average but also some threads died out due to lack of activity.  I have no real preference over roleplaying styles although I am a bit hesitant to start another long-running roleplay as the last one I did lasted for six years of almost daily posts and after a while it felt more like a job.

Outside of roleplaying I enjoy, as I mentioned, video games and fiction.  I grew up with RPGs and Metroidvanias and Platformers but I love a good Puzzle game.  Most of my roleplay experience was with these pre-existing fictional worlds with the first three that I can remember being Mario, Sonic, and Digimon.  I adore Kingdom Hearts like how you can enjoy a B-movie.  The gameplay tends to be rock solid.  The plot... heh.  If it was a fanfiction it would be a hilariously bad 'crossover' fanfiction that leans more towards an OC protagonist who puts the movies back on the rails, with the Square-Enix characters tend to be used more like OC-standins than true cameos.  Just goes to show how a simple change in medium and a well-executed combat system can make something enjoyable.

I loved reading mythology and fairytales growing up.  This, coupled with reading classical literature, the [i]Lord of the Rings[/i] series, and the works of C.S. Lewis and Lewis Carrol led to a rather odd lexicon that regularly confused people by saying things like "ere" and "fortnight" and other such doggrel.  I recently (within a year) got into Tabletop RPGs at long last after failing to find groups in person.  So far I have been able to try out [i]FFRPG[/i], [i]Champions[/i], [i]Pokemon Tabletop United[/i], and almost got to try [i]Call of Cthulhu[/i] before that group changed tactics.  In my spare time I like to toy with programs such as Rainmeter, try my hand at video game creation to the point that I semi-regularly join up with a Game Dev Night group, and find new musicians to listen to through Bandcamp.

At this time I cannot think of anything else to say so...
Oh.
Uh.  The title I chose...
My father would regularly claim to be Satan.  He had a whole litany.  "[He's] Satan, [Mom's] the Bride of Satan, [I'm] and [my] brother are the Spawn of Satan.  [I was] built in the basement, [my] brother hatched from an egg.  [He had] been around since the time the Dinosaurs roamed the Earth."  Whenever I'd call him out on it he'd get this sly grin on his face and say "[i]Would I lie to you~?[/i]"  The answer was always a flat "yes."
It was a joke of course but he would claim that [i]a lot[/i].  Hence "legitimate Satanspawn".
