'One must note that every Man has his House, and in it lies his soul, his property. Just as Man has his House, 'He' wanders from each to the other; for as long as Man has his wants, his needs, 'He' shall continue to roam, continue to knock and seek entry.
Though 'He' wanders, 'He' is not homeless. For when Man invites 'Him' into his House, what gives Man purpose is no longer his own. His wants, his needs...belong to Him, as does the Man...as does the House.
One by one, the Houses of Man shall fall. Names, history--they no longer matter, hold little weight or consequence. They are brought low, to nothing but a number in his ledger, a scorched footprint dug into the chalky, thin dirt along a quiet, dust-blown road.'

Sounded slightly fancy, didn't it? Like it came out of a nice little three-buck novel someone might've fished out of a bin in a coffee shop, with a few of the corners bent in for good measure. Well it's not. Isn't real. Don't believe everything you read on the internet.
Anyway, hi. Name's Arkkanon. Well not really, but it's what I like to go by. Shorten it to whatever you like -- Arkk, Ark, Ar, 'Hey You', I'll probably answer to it. I've been roleplaying for. Uh. I'd say about nine-ish years, but I can't be certain, as my memory has as many holes in it as a block of Swiss does after being dropped into a crossfire. Though I can say it all started at a table, with five other nerds-slash-social outcasts, a metric butt-ton of paper, polyhedral die, and a giant of a man that you'd think was far more interested in the nuances of the P90X system than being a Dungeon Master. 3.5, to Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, a (very) brief stint in 5e, to MMOs and you get the general idea. It's only just now that I found forum roleplay was a thing. Unreal, right?
I'm not sure how much to share here about myself without going into 'Alright, dial it back, you wally' territory, so I'll start with the absolute basics. I'm twenty-seven years old (Had to think about that for a second. Gods, I'm an absent-minded loon sometimes), an aspiring author, and have a love for video games that is borderline feral. To give an idea of my taste in games, I'll put up my five favorites.
-Metal Gear Solid 3 - Snake Eater
-Sam and Max Save the World
-Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
-Monster Hunter...(Er, I can't choose, so I'm going to be a jerk and say 'the vast majority of them')
-Final Fantasy IX
As for what I hope I'll find here? I haven't the foggiest. Such is the spirit of adventure. Something casual to fill in the hours, or perhaps something wondrously epic that I'll remember for. Uh. Well, for as long as the human memory holds, I suppose.
I look forward to encountering you all!
