I was inspired by Captain Underpants at the age of four and started drawing comics like in the books. I made a ton of comics about a magic wand-wielding octopus with the villain being me as a sorcerer. I was a weird kid (and still am).

The only reason I want kids is to roast them in family arguments.

My written roleplay experience on instant messengers and forums extends back to the earliest creative works I had actually had. It has consistently been one of my few lifelong hobbies and is one of the few, rare elements that has remained with me, even where memory has in part failed. It is pretty novel to have been able to see all of the evolution in the genre as I know it with times and even reflect on some of the now famous nostalgia such as early messenger systems or even using emails to draft and send posts, replies, or plot.

Disclaimer: This is just as much a fact about myself as it is about one of my closest friends offsite who happens to be a member of the Guild

So, to go off of what Harbinger had just said about early creative experiences, I wouldn't be the writer here nor have most of the catalog of characters that I have now had it not been for this particular friend of mine introducing me to Kingdom Hearts. As odd as that might seem to outsiders, through my love of this video game series, I found a fansite for it that, in some unforeseen circumstances, introduced me to this thing called Roleplaying. This was back in 2008, mind you. It was likely, 10 years to this hour, I was finding out about this thing that, though it was oblivious to me, would shape my foreseeable future.

And though I often wonder what my life would've been like had I not found roleplaying, I also know that I wouldn't want it to turn out any other way. It was destiny that I found my love for roleplaying, just as it was destiny that I still have a deep love for the Kingdom Hearts series. It's a full-circle-kind-of-thing, I tell ya.

Although I have been writing for myself for many years, I got into forum based roleplay about 10 years ago like Altered Tundra. I started playing CyberNations, a Geo-Political Roleplaying game in 2007. After an initial debacle in which my alliance was completely wiped out, I joined the Mostly Harmless Alliance which had its own RP subforum. I role played there regularly with a small group of writers in 2008. One introduced me to Alternate History Roleplay which was an NRP. I started as France and eventually took on the role of Lebanon. I experimented with various sites until I found The Guild about seven years ago. For the most part, I stuck around here. I like the variety you find in RPG. When the server crashed five years ago, I did go to another site for two years, but maintained contact with friends here on RPG.

Until the past few years, I did exclusive science fiction roleplaying, but I abandoned the genre when it became increasingly obsessive over being science fiction. It became ever more a chore to explain details of characters, stories, locations, abilities, among others, to the point the community I was aware of was moving steadily and deeply into the "Basically science and fact, just not there yet." genre of science fiction. I had eschewed and scorned fantasy because, contrarily, nothing meant anything to the majority of players in that other side of the community and none had ever established any consistency to how or why things did, as well as typically having less quality players, more often because they were young or worse were powergaming.

No less, that transition period came just as supernatural and fantasy media again became massively mainstream and popular among the younger teenage demographic and while that particular event left me embittered for a while, it never quite killed me interest in writing and formulating things I considered "better". Ultimately all it did was force myself to create works that skirted what I saw as flaws or failures and inspire me to improve. Sadly, most my former compatriots chose to fold or tuck themselves into their niches.

@Altered Tundra
Seems like an awesome friend to have. 😁 Plus, you like Kingdom Hearts? +1 awesomeness

So, me and my wife have been playing a game of Monopoly, Sorry, and Trouble at least once a month for the past 4 months. I am undefeated in every single game thus far.

I had a long-running comic strip series back in elementary school called "Teen-ager." Every comic was eight panels that featured Teen-ager going to jail in the last panel for committing a heinous crime, where his response was "So?"

There are times I consider returning to the educational system to try to rectify things I saw wrong in it and hopefully impart some sort of actual wisdom, discipline, or knowledge in students and with expertise as an instructor. I then remind myself I sacrificed years of my life to everyone else to pursue the one thing I love and have only just now been afforded the opportunity to go down that road untraveled. After all, who wouldn't want to work with felines rather than people? At least you know why they are ornery.
