Hello, everyone.

This place looks really promising.  A friend from my old creative writing class referred me to it, and he also gave me some pointers.

So here I am, taking that first shakey step inside. 

I'm a private person, but I can divulge a few nuggets upfront:  
-Male.
-American.
-College-educated.  
-A few decades' worth of experiences that are just dying to be fleshed out.  That is one way I like to roleplay my characters: drawing upon my personal experiences and using them to enrich a character's part in a story. 

I'm hoping to get started right away, so I suppose I should check out the Interest Checks area. But for those GMs fishing for fresh meat, here are some genres that I like:

-Fantasy
-Magical
-Medieval (from lowly peasantry to pompous nobility)
-Drama
-Mystery
-Military Life
-Slice of Life
-Mecha/Big Robots
-Angel/Demons (think Diablo games)
-Dragons (oh, boy I love dragons...)
-Steampunk
-Probably forgetting a few...

I've also garnered a few years of tabletop roleplaying, like D&D, Pathfinder, Dread, Fiasco, and Blades in the Dark.  I also thoroughly enjoyed the tabletop miniature wargames called Warmachine and its wild counterpart, Hordes.

And if I listed all of the games I've played, well, this post might reach some kind of word limit! But I am a sucker for the classics, I'll say that much.

Anyway, I hope this makes for a decent introducion.  I look forward to meeting you all and learning how to write together, and tell our stories.
