Whoa, hey now lords and ladies of the Guild, I'm Zona! Yes, after the book Zona. It's an invigorating read if you ever watched Tarkovsky's masterpiece take on Roadside Picnic! So, let's begin in the beginning, I was born on a farm in an unincorporated community in the Sahka Republic, now part of the Federation of Russia. Normally I'm kinda grumpy and old, but I think it makes me unique and adorable. I live on a homestead in the United States now, where I pursue the art of creative writing and dabble in gardening. Mostly I take care of my adoptive parents, and raise a little cash by canning goods and baking. When I'm not here in my gas mask and trench coat, I'm probably infront of my stove or curled up by my coal oil furnace enjoying a read. I'm an outspoken nuclear proliferation advocate, even though I write in the vein of dystopia and have some lovely post-nuclear wonderland! To boot, I'm also a very big fan of the European Pop artists coming to surface these days, likes Kovacs and Caro Emerald. I still follow sports, when possible. I'm a massive Volgograd Rotors fan still, I still remember the 1988 promotion to the Soviet Top League! I also follow American football, and do so love Mister Mayfield on the Browns. And yes, I have his autograph!
So, on to the more gritty details about me. I have been roleplaying for almost twenty years now! I have seen people come and go, and remember all my favored partners over the years. My first experience with roleplaying was in 1999, while I was attending university in Volgograd, we had a lecture from an American professor who brought a Dungeons and Dragons game with him. While showing him around town, we ended up at a friend's house trying to make a party in one night. It was so much fun, the month flew so quickly and I was so sad to see him go. So we exchanged emails, and he introduced me to MUD's. So, from 1999 to 2003 all I did were MUD's! In 2003, however, a thing called SecondLife was launched, and we quickly converted to SecondLife. From there I threw my roots out, from AOL to Yahoo, and even Furcadia for a time. I also did some roleplay on Star Wars Galaxy, RPGateway, RPHaven, Reddit, Skype, and Kik! But, most recently I've found myself comfy with roleplaying on Discord, it's so easy to keep 1x1's organized.
And finally, my interests in roleplay are so varied and inconsistent it isn't even funny. Being such an oldhead, I can honestly say I've tried to all, and can probably give you a detailed list of things I hate with a fiery passions and generally dislike, but let's be positive here! My #1 LOVE in a plot is a post-apocalyptic or dystopian style setting, doesn't even need to be modern as well. Whether it is from the bombs or from zombies or a global ice age, maybe magick put the sun out, a la Arx Fatalis, I love it all! I also enjoy medieval fantasy worlds, especially when they are nonlinear and my characters can go at the pace of their choosing. Honorary mentions are also slice of life roleplay, as well as some types of futuristic sci-fi that are nonlinear in nature and don't require me to roll 1d100 (I hate d100's, I never get below a 70). I do play some canons, nothing new or anime based, just saying that now. I do a mix of 1x1 RP's and group RP's, both of which I actively look for somewhat daily. I enjoy making posts in a speedy, yet detailed way. Normally I kick out one paragraph, but can easily go up to five, it just depends on my mood and my interest.
So, thank you so much for taking your time to read a little bit about me, as a reward here is a picture of the only child I probably will ever have!
