I started ATLA late, around Covid. But I love the first series and think TLoK is pretty good despite some problems

I never notice someone's post count until I see (ignore post count) and then I totally look at it, out of habit and curiosity.

About Me








Name: Ben
Username: The one and only. Dare I say?
Age: 33
Ethnicity: Mixed
Sex: Male
Religion: Christian (Nondenominational)
Languages: English, Japanese (Semi-fluent & learning), I also know some Scots Gaelic, Quenyan (Elvish), and Miccosukee (My tribal tongue)

Current Projects/Freelance work

  • I am a voice talent and script writer for Faerun History
  • I have a much smaller personal Youtube channel that I use to make videos on various subjects. Only been making videos for 2 years, but it's growing!
  • I'm the host of a Science Fiction & Fantasy Podcast where I interview authors of the genre.




Interests (Includes but is not limited to)

  • Writing/Reading (Love writing and I own too many books)
  • Video Games (Been a gamer for close to 23 years now)
  • Working Out/Martial Arts (Wing Chun/Oyama Karate mostly. Some historical swordplay as well.)
  • History (Military History is my specialty)
  • Zoology
  • Art (Mostly Illustrations. Used to be good. Am picking it back up)
  • Voice Acting/Singing
  • Tabletop Gaming (Started late in the game. Been at it for 3 years. I was the kid who bought the monster manuals and D&D books just for the lore for the longest time. I've played 3.5e, 5e, Star Wars D20, Edge of the Empire, PF, and PF2.)
  • Weaponry of all kinds
  • Anime (mostly action/shonen. DBZ & YYH being my favorites)
  • Movies (Action/War/Drama films being my go-to)
  • Music (Rock of all kinds, as well as historical folk songs, sea shanties, pub songs, a bit of classical music, etc)
  • Guitar (am learning to play, but being left handed makes it challenging)
  • There's more but if you care enough you can PM me :P




Roleplay F.A.Q.

  • Fantasy, Sci Fi, and Historical are my genres. Fantasy being my favorite and Sci Fi/Historical being close seconds.
  • Advanced / Nation / 1x1 / Casual (only in certain circumstances)
  • I generally write at the 'Advanced Level' meaning 4+ Paragraphs with good grammar.
  • I am usually busy with many projects and RPs, but if you wish to do a 1x1 with me, you'll need to present your case. Those I already do it with have my trust as a Roleplayer.
  • I love many, many fictional universes so me trying to list them all is an effort in futility!

@POOHEAD189
So what would you like for me to edit to my character?


Exactly as I said before. It's not that I need your character to be combat ready. It's that, I don't understand how she traveled alone when she isn't combat ready.

And how was she able to travel as a professor for a profession.

@NecroKnight I answered him. You don't need to be skilled in arms or armor to come along.

@POOHEAD189 Excuse the probably silly question, sir, but I'd like to ask to which degree (very) profound fighting capabilities are a requirement for any character. Both purely in terms of keeping a character within interaction and in terms or pure survival. The reason for this question is that an unstable solar system of various ideas has formed in my head, but they all have a bit in common that the resulting character would not have that grand offensive capability anyone of the cast seems to have so far. More of... an in development one.


Fighting capabilities are not required for any character as long as they are useful for base building in other areas.

<Snipped quote by POOHEAD189>

As I recall, and in many other character sheets - haven't the monster population dropped considerably by now? I mean, by now we have thoughts by people that Witchers aren't a necessary thing and are shunned by others. That tells me, that the monster population isn't so high that people can't visit their woods and more or less along similar lines to an encounter with a bear or wolf. You know they are around but you aren't gonna walk into one every time you go for a walk.

As for bandits. Same thing - I doubt any kingdom or government would allow bandits to roam the roads - considering in medieval times, those were important sources of trade and travel. I assume there are patrols around to make sure such people aren't an issue.


If they put that, they're wrong. Every Witcher knows there's still plenty of monsters. It says so in one of the first chapters of "The Last Wish."

And kingdoms change in the northern kingdoms often. There are plenty of disenfranchised soldiers out of work looking to steal.

@Hank As long as you make sure he is slightly contradictory (within belief) in posting, then I shall accept him.

@Kassarock You know at first, I did have a problem with your character's appearance as this is a RP not based on the witcher TV series, and as someone who has read the books/played the games, there isn't much skin diversity. However, you did acknowledge that there was very little information on the wiki about the lands of Nazair, and who knows they could have been immigrants from further south? But I'll allow it. Other than that, the sheet looks good. She is accepted.

@Lemons Very well made sheet, my friend! The only thing I might want to know about is maybe a job or two he took in those 70 odd years he was just being a monster hunter. Give me that and he is accepted.

If we're all ready then let's get this Drakwald expedition going imo
@Lemons@Kassarock After a good night's sleep on my end, I will give you both feedback. I kind of went last page-first for a reason that escapes even me.
@Stormflyx Well that is my fault. You keep doing what you're doing <3
@Hank Morgan is fukken great. He is accepted after you clear something up.

It's somewhat confusing to me on why, after he was saved by a Witcher and given the opportunity to become one, he believes it's a good thing that Witchers are dying out, and that he wishes he could have lived a normal life rather than be a Witcher. Isn't the fact that his family was brutally killed the reason he couldn't live a normal life, and that vengeance/prevention of further butchering worth the Witcher trials as well?

@RedVII Not a bad character. Though I think you should add certain locations on where he grew up in his backstory, and fill in the blanks a bit. You don't need to tell me about every day, but we can't skip 10-20 years by saying he simply grew up with his mother.
Also, I suggest you give him a gambeson or some light mail, but that's just me. If you want him to wear cloth it's up to you.

@Stormflyx Accepted. The only problem I see in your sheet is that you wrote 'Telempathy' rather than Telepathy on the top of your skill list.

@NuttsnBolts Audhilde is great. But we'll need to add some more details to her backstory. I only want to know some more facts. Don't fret too much over writing. But give us some facts on what might come up in conversation. Parents, town she lived in, first (if any) lover, etc. Also, please turn "Audhild is an early twenties woman" into "Audhilde is a woman in her early twenties."

@NecroKnight If your character is a lecturer at Oxenfurt, how is she allowed to wander the Northern Kingdoms? A fair amount of her history works, but it's only bits and piece to a longer story, and how is it she travels around the countryside alone, with no armor or weapons in a world where there's monsters and bandits aplenty?
I'll be frank, there is nothing entirely wrong with your character other than a few little bits, but she seems more suited for a casual roleplay. And that's not an insult, I'm talking about her general style.
