Bio

A writer, artist, animator, worldbuilder. In short, jack of all trades, master of some.

For the most part, I've retired from roleplaying. For quite a long time, what kept me tied to RPG was the Spam community—but even that I have distanced myself from. Now, my focus is on the writing contests.

I consistently try to write reviews for RPGC, and I consistently enter the Twelve Labours.

First labour; world of Archipelago, Jack.
Challenge: an unwelcome death.
For next entry: characterization.

Second labour; world of Uberpowered, Émile.
Challenge: an unfortunate fortune.

For next entry: proofreading.

Challenge: an unwilling inspiration.
For next entry: narrative set-up, dammit.

I feel like I've mentioned this a number of times in the past, but anyways.

My username is the name of a village in a story I've worked on since my childhood. It was my first serious aspiration to write a book, and because of that, I used it as my first writing-based username account, back on the OldGuild. I now use it as my primary username, as it is the most personalized and original one I use.

My profile picture (and signature) is based off a WotM entry I wrote back on the OldGuild. It was by no means my best entry and didn't win anything, but I considered it one of the most distinguishable ones I've written, and the story stuck with me. It is the tale of a mage-boy who watches his childhood friend get killed and goes on a quest to find a magical item that can bring her back. However, this item demands ten thousand souls in exchange. He then goes from a boy killing the odd criminal, to a young man serving in the military, to a mercenary, until he eventually becomes a killer so powerful and obsessed that he goes off to slaughter entire nations single-handedly.

Except Skype is dead half the time.


Only because people are sleeping half the time.

I've personally been inactive due to time constraints. Any time I'm not at school or at work, I'm trying to do homework, which I can do simultaneously with Skype. Unfortunately, that is not so easy with Spam, where I have to actively click threads for updates.

I should be back on track to bore you all again come late spring/early summer.
8/10.
(I saw the sad purple bunny-thing.)

7/10. Not bad, but the text reads a bit oddly, and the emote doesn't suit the depression/horror of most of your pics that I've noticed.

Not that that really matters.
I'm willing to murder AdBot, but only metaphorically.

My specialties lies in philosophy, theoretical chemistry, writing, and sketch. How shall I be used?
I'm not certain I understand.

10/10Simple, and very personalized. I like it.


10/10 Simple, and yet the yellow of that storage container randomly matches the yellow of the link. Just a wonderful stroke of luck/skill. I find myself drawn into the actors' expressions, trying to figure out their emotions and context. The small bit of [poetry?] is also nice, short and sweet, and the reference to the pulse ties in nicely to him stroking her cheek and holding her neck, as one might assume he's feeling her pulse in the moment.
EDIT: I'm currently updating at a rate of two characters a [week?], reverifying bios and adding the details I said I'd add. I know it's super slow, but we're all busy these days, eh? ;]

Hello, all.

I'm not currently participating in this roleplay or anything (though I'd love to; too busy), but because I know a lot of the players, wish I could join, and plan on reading the whole thing anyways, I happened to make a summary list of all the Player Characters. It features Characters names, usernames, gender, race, and a [very] brief bio. When I get the time, I'll also be adding stats (see Garron for an example). It's still a Work In Progress, some histories were written or reviewed after I made this thing, and I haven't gotten them all rectified in here yet, but I figure it's still useful at this stage. I'll keep updating (e.g.: editing) it with characters, their bios, and their stats as time goes on, and I'll probably alphabetize it too. And I'll link their character sheet posts when I get time too.

The purpose of it is just to make it easier to remember who's who at a glance, without resorting to full-length Character Sheets.




I hope this can be useful to you guys, and if not, it's still useful for me. ;]
(Any mistakes I make, feel free to PM me about and I'll rectify it as soon as possible.

Happy roleplaying!
@ The Nexerus. 3/10, because that snout.
@ Lady Squee. 3.5/10, for similar reasons.
Don't forget [indent]!
