Nice to meet y'all, I'm Nyxira. 

I'm just checking the place out right now, as I don't really know much about how these kinds of groups work, or how to go about getting into random rps. I haven't joined random forum rps in ages, so I'm kind of nervous and out of my element. Please be patient with me and my very obvious lack of an idea of what I am doing. 

Roleplaying career: I have been rping since 2006, and most of that has been on Deviantart groups or private rps. DA rp groups have gotten to be pretty toxic places, lately, so I'm looking to move on from them. I've had a lot of bad experiences with them, so forgive my skittishness. I hope to become less so and to regain some sorely lacking confidence.

Roleplaying preferences: I like a wide range of rp genres, having enjoyed fantasy, mystery, sci-fi, supernatural, horror, and adventure. I least like slice-of-life and romance themed ones. A little bit of romance is fine, but story, character development, and plot progression are very important to me, so I don't enjoy aimless casual character interactions.
Lately I am especially interested in mystery rps.
I tend to write very literately and often in long paragraphs or even pages, but just as in novels, I feel that sometimes a shorter paragraph or even a single line are more applicable to a particular situation (particularly in conversation and direct interactions). I do not like rps that are all one-liners or script style, however.

Hobbies and interests: I really like roleplaying, as it is a really interesting and enjoyable mental exercise, but I also like to play video games; read books and comics; and watch movies and shows (live action, cartoon, and anime alike). During the summers I really love swimming and boating, but I don't really have a lot of opportunities to do so.
I am passionate about and do a lot of creative things, including: Drawing, writing, animating, video game design, singing, voice acting, costume design, sewing, special effects makeup, and other general art and crafting related things.
