After 5 years, I am back. And it is great.

[Aiyanna]

Hi there!

I'm Aiyanna. You can also call me Aya. After 5 years, I finally logged in again a couple days ago. So much has changed in my life yet so little, if anything, has changed about this forum. It still looks the same and feels the same which I love. Feels like I wasn't gone for all that long. Anyway, life took the better of me. I got into uni, had to move around a few times, work on my health... Now that things have started to settle down, I'm ready to start writing again.

I'm not new to RPing. I've dabbled in Dungeons and Dragons and I used to do forum roleplaying a lot 5 to 6 years ago - until life swept me away. I love reading and creative writing and as such, roleplaying is a natural creative medium for me. Right now I'm up for anything casual or semi-advanced; I'm able to log in maybe a few times a week. I know in my profile I say that I am not up for 1-on-1s but if you have a really good idea for one, feel free to hit me up and we'll see if it catches my fancy. My favourite settings at the moment are high fantasy, historical (imaginary, real, or inspired by real history), sci-fi, mythology, mystery, and adventure. Also, if you have a RP you think I'd like, feel free to hit me up.

If there are any of my old RPGuild friends out there, feel free to shoot me a PM and reconnect. To everyone - it sure is great to be back. I hope to make some more friends here, and finally start roleplaying again after an eon.

EDIT: For typos.

Glad you're enjoying your return! I hope you find a story that motivates and best of luck to ya!

@Aiyanna Lovely to meet you! We might have spoken before, and if we have, it's good to see you again :)

WELCOME BACK!! I also came back from a 3 year hiatus during COVID and love writing again.

You have very similar interests to me - I've also been trying to motivate myself for some kind of 2x2 for a while... Do you have any specific ideas for RPs right now?

@Aiyanna
I don't think we met, but welcome back.
Hopefully you'll find something you like and have fun again here.

'Tis the season of returners! Welcome!

[Benzaiten]

Welcome! I also popped back in after a year absence due to life and health. As for RPs you might enjoy, I have a little something I've cooked up called The Witches Of Shipden Peak. It has gathered some interest and I am working on the OOC currently. If you like, you can give the Interest Check and the discord server a peek.

(I shall edit this with a link to the interest check)

@POOHEAD189 Thank you! It is lovely to meet you too. I believe we might have spoken before. If that is the case, it is good to see familiar names still around! :) Feel free to shoot me a DM if you'd like to catch up.

@Catharyn Thanks!! You too, welcome back! I haven't quite gotten back to writing yet, myself, but I do hope RPing will help with that. I would love to try a 2x2 - does that involve four people as the word suggests? While I do not have any specific ideas for RPs yet, I'd love to do something vaguely fantasy, history, and mythology focused. I've been studying Ancient Chinese classics lately. At the moment I am also very intrigued by East Asian folklore and mythology. Does any of it tickle your fancy? :)

@Benzaiten I actually checked the interest checks the other night. I was worried the RP would have started already! I've read through the description post. The expected posting frequency sounds great to me (as a uni student, fall semester starts in September). I'll go write something on the interest check thread and cook up a character. I think I'd be able to come up with one by the weekend, would that be alright with you? :)

[Benzaiten]

@Aiyanna Hey! Cool that you find my little world to sound interesting. I have gotten quite a bit more interest than I had imagined. I am currently hard at work on the OOC and planning the first IC happenings. I want to set my players up for greatness, so the OOC will be decidedly more informatic and detailed than the Interest Check. This should give people a better feel for the world. Until the OOC is up no CS is accepted or denied. So you can totally still make a CS and give it a go :)

@Aiyanna

Yeah, for me a 2x2 is four people who perhaps interact a bit more with their designated main partner. Depends on how the story pans out really!

I love fantasy & history but not sure about mythology. Would need to be a great angle.

[Benzaiten]

@Catharyn A 2x2 sounds like a really fun concept.

[Dark Cloud]

welcome back, I doubt you know me though. nice to see people returning to the site.

@Catharyn A 2x2 sounds like a really fun concept.

@Benzaiten

Maybe i'll set one up sometime!
