Hello.

Not exactly the best way to start an introduction, I know. It could be fancier, or better thought out, or ring with more poetry than a single, common word. But as with any tool, it suits its purpose. I don't know any of you but save a few, and I want to change that.

My name is Serenity Williams, but you can call me anything you want, as long as I know to answer to it. I hail from Texas in the mystical country of the United States, and roleplaying is one of my greatest passions. I find it an easy escape from the dreary confines of life and a way to become someone you can only wish to actually be. It realizes my dreams, and gives me a sense of belonging in my otherwise meaningless life.

As the title implies, I journeyed from another website dedicated to this purpose. My previous place of refuge was fine while it lasted, but needless decisions, petty drama, and inactivity slowly made it more stress than it was worth. My salvation came when a friend from that site showed me this wonderful place.

At first, I couldn't believe my eyes. Advanced sections filled with veritable mountains of posts, users flitting about to nurture their stories in good time, rules that don't stem from arbitrary and personal agendas... it seemed impossible. But now I am here, standing on a digital stage spouting out a story, hoping I too can join these ranks. Hoping I can live the lives I want to live of these countless threads, share in imagination with others, and most importantly, make friendships with you all.

Fin.

Addendum: Sorry if that makes no sense. I'm running on fumes at the moment. If your only fault is the oozing melodrama, however... I have no apology for that.

Well met, traveler!

I see you've decided to take a tour of our grand halls for yourself and understands exactly what happens within the confines of these walls. I am glad to know that you have found yourself impressed by what this place has to offer, as the arrival of another fellow roleplayer is always a welcome occurrence. I hope the rest of the time you decide to spend here is just as wonderful as your first impression of it.

It does give me a bit of sadness upon hearing you say that roleplaying is one of the few places you feel as if you belong. I do hope that changes for you in time as real life will prove to be more essential than the worlds created within this place. But nonetheless, I know you will find many places here that will wholeheartedly accept you regardless of whatever you may have to offer.

However, I do believe I've used up enough of your time. I shall now leave you be to partake in all the worlds and happenings that come to life here. I have no doubts that there shall be something that will capture your interest. And should you require any more assistance, there will always be people as friendly as I am wandering the halls. You need only approach and speak to us.

Good luck on all of your endeavors!

Thank you for that kind greeting. I can see you're no stranger to site migration as well. I'm happy to say quite a few users are growing fed up with my previous haunt, and are or have already began to scout out here. As for real life's importance, aye, but that doesn't necessarily guarantee its pleasantness.

^-^

My time is always here to give, and warm, welcoming posts such as your own will never waste it. Thank you again, and I'll dive into the site proper as soon as I get the chance.

If only I was as great a writer... As I dreamily read over your introduction, I would very much like to welcome you here. We do have much to offer so I can only hope your stay here is much better than yours with your previous host.

Happy roleplaying! :D
