Hello, Everyone!

[TaiyakiTimewarp]

Hello! I’m taiyaki timewarp. Some people call be “tayaki”, while others just call me “tai” for short (as far as nicknames go, you can call me whatever you want).

I was first introduced to roleplaying with tabletop RPGs back in high school, and ever since I’ve always enjoyed playing RPGs with friends (including but not limited to D&D). Nowadays it’s been getting harder for my friends and I to set up roleplaying sessions, so I thought I’d try my hand at roleplaying online.

Since I’m a guy, I’m used to roleplaying male characters. I’m not so confident at my ability to roleplay a female character, though if the situation calls for it I could give it a try. I prefer creating my own characters rather than roleplaying a pre-existing character (such as a character from a book, film, or video game)

I’ve played a lot of Fantasy RPGs in the past, so I’m perfectly at home with fantasy settings. However I also enjoy watching anime, so I don’t mind creating anime-esque characters (but only if the setting lends itself to it). In fact, the more modern the setting, the more likely I’ll envision it as an anime.
I don’t have too much experience when it comes to Sci-Fi, as sometimes “Bad Science” can ruin a game for me. However, if the game sounds interesting enough then I wouldn’t mind playing it.
Also I would be interested to try a “Slice of Life” roleplay. There’s just something about the beauty of a simple mundane lifestyle that I find appealing and relaxing (think wabisabi).
I don’t mind other genres, as I like to try out new things every once in a while.

If there is one thing I don’t like about roleplaying, then it’s the vampire/werewolf craze - I’m just one of those people who never found those types of creatures interesting. I can tolerate the occasional vampire or werewolf, but I wouldn’t enjoy a game where the entire story revolves around them.
Of course, there are always exceptions to this rule. For instance: Angua from Terry Pratchett’s Discworld book series. She is a fun character that I don’t mind reading about, but that’s because it is her character that interests me – not the fact that she’s a werewolf.

Other than roleplaying, I also like astronomy, history, and mythology. I play video games every so often, with my favorites being Minecraft, Shadow of the Colossus, Okami, and Katamari Damacy. I watch a lot of anime and read a lot of manga, which always end up giving me roleplaying ideas.

Last but not least, I’m also an artist. There’s a good chance that I might end up drawing pictures of characters for these forums.

Well I didn’t expect to write that much, but I guess that paints a pretty good portrait of myself. I’ll be looking around the forums for games to join, and I’m looking forward to having a fun roleplaying experience online.

Welcome ^_^ I feel like we have a lot in common. Specially in the video game area. And the artist area.

I'm Cara. Welcome to RPG. I'm a tad rusty when it comes to role playing, and so far everyone had been real helpful and such about it. You'll fin role playing online a lot of fun in no time.
