Hmm, I've been a member for days now, so this late introduction may or may not work, but here goes: I'm from France, have done travel but hope to more in my life. Aside from food and wine, the place I grew up in has always been a land of literature with a strong reading culture, one of the reasons I'm a bookworm. I like to have a book with me at all times, some people might call this ridiculous or obsessive but.. reading a book is very similar to living a life, having a library of information, e.g., How to get away with murder and feel bad about it, questioning authority even when everything seems perfect, how to live alone but work with others, how to lead and sometimes to follow, and in turn improve knowledge and conversation skills. I've been role-playing as a whole since I was sixteen years old, I turned eighteen just recently and I've spent these years roleplaying in private french communities ( Mostly battle-centered roleplay) It never crossed my mind to perhaps write in another language, until serendipitously, a moderator from another roleplay application inspired me to role-play in english yes, that's how I joined many war-guilds ( Brotherhood, The Rising knights...etc ) and started my own adventure in this imaginary world. The reason I do roleplay ? Well, I like it, it wakes up the brain cells. Surely, it allowed me to travel to different worlds and live different lives, becoming someone new; an alien, a king, a serial killer and much, much more. For another thing, it meant we could live in a more interesting world than the one around us. Lastly, it is fun. Ah, Yes: I am a dreamer. For dreaming, after all is a form of planning, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables me to laugh at life's realities, my crazy imagination will get me a passport to hell one day. However, I'm genuinely lucky to find this guild, a place where words come alive, where there's a time and place for everything, I've met some great people here already, and would like to meet some more. Have a bittersweet day.
