Admittedly, I do not know where I should, or could start with this introduction to, well, I.
I've been role playing since I was in the sixth grade, and eventually, I took to Yahoo Messenger where there was once a thriving community of people like all of us here. I loved it there. I felt challenged, I felt compelled to be better, and to push myself. That may seem like a trivial, or insignificant thing to someone not familiar with role play, however that never discouraged me, rather it inspired me.
I was known as Dark, or Dark Kirigoe if I'm to be precise. During the peek of Yahoo and their online messenger service, among the role playing community there, I eventually found myself with a reputation. There were many blunders in my quest to be better than the best (I was a young lad then, so being better than my opponent was really something I worked for...) and now and again, I found myself hunted down by people that didn't like that I'd beat them. Personally, I never took defeat bitterly, rather I saw the person to best my as a rival, or a mentor of sorts that I could learn from. Upon the eventual decline of activity on Yahoo, I felt accomplished as a role player. I left that chapter of my growth behind me, and looked forward to future challenges...
There were other forums I was active on from time to time, as the years would pass on by. RPG Chat was one of them, and it was there that I would meet a guy that really, and truly impressed me. There was nothing I did that could out wit him, he was always several steps ahead of me, and I found it to be wildly inspiring. Of course. All of this would take place several years after my days on Yahoo, I was nearly 20 at this current time I speak of...or, I think I was. I can't remember the guys name that he used on the forum, but I had not seen anyone better than him, not even today.
I came to this forum to get back to doing something I have always loved doing. This forum looks inviting, and plenty active. All of you here, I look forward to getting out there, and to seeing what I am still capable of, and as well, what all of your are capable of. I will learn from you, and maybe you, from me.
Until we meet up out there!
