Okay but like seriously though, let's not tell Nintendo about this... About what, you ask? Exactly!

Some games make you feel like a hero, and others make you feel like you're playing a tree in the school play.

Alright fine. I could have images for my projects hosted on-site, but you gotta promise me you won't go snooping in there. There might be spoilers, y'know?

Greetings visitor! I hope you're having a good day! Whether you've seen me around the guild or not, I should admit that it's only been within year-6 of my time on this site that I've bothered to start work on this here "bio". I feel like I should apologize for not making it a higher priority much sooner, but lately I've adopted that "better late than never" mindset when it comes to introductions, and besides, I doubt there was much to tell in my early years anyway. I'm pretty much an amateur writer who got my start as a minor tag-along player in a fandom AU campaign ran by a small, close-nit remnant of a community formerly in association with a notable strategy-gaming youtuber. I'm being vague for brevity's sake. In the end, I value my first exposure to roleplaying as a personal learning experience more than anything, as I'm definitely the kind of person that sequesters themselves in any given community they find themselves in and RPG is certainly no exception.

That pretty much explains what I've been up to for the last several or so years, with only occasional public posts from me, as private 1x1 roleplays are easily where the lion's share of my attention goes to. Details regarding my particular interests and even approach as a prospective partner can be found in the interest check I update very rarely, but if you'd like to have a link to it or want to work with me in a similar capacity, then PMs are the best way to reach me. As for what you can expect in very broad terms, I'll say that I'm a 90s kid who'd grown up on Nintendo and Cartoon Network where, thanks to Toonami, I've developed an appreciation for the Japanese style of animation, a style that commonly influences my own creative endeavors to this day. That is in no way to say that I'm an avid watcher of anime and the like (I have my tastes and while that does sometimes coincide with what's current, it usually doesn't), just that I gravitate toward the ludicrous, extraordinary concepts and settings they commonly facilitate. That style aligns with what excites me creatively. That's the long and short of it. Exceptions do exist of course.

"Thanks for offering, though I'm insure how you can. My powers can get kinda dangerous at times. Even I don't know how far they go," Cecilia said, relieved to see Helena smiling at least. She momentarily glanced passed everyone and at Neric, who was perched at a window. She imagined that if Neric was by himself, it would be for a reason. With that in mind, it may be best if she doesn't force the issue. Back to the matter at hand, her mind was pretty much made up, but she did think it sweet of them to see how she was doing. They were good friends to her. The next few days would be about proving she could be one to them in turn.
@SoulEater@1Hawkeyes@LiegeLord
Cecilia silently considered what Edmond said. "... Yeah, I suppose you're right. And maybe learning and mastering my power might give me more confidence," she reasoned aloud with increasing optimism, looking over at Ed and smiling thinly. From Ed, she hazarded a view of Helena. "Helena, I really don't want you be careful around me just because of what happened. Is that alright?" Cecilia asked sincerely, knowing the significance of her answer.
@1Hawkeyes
Cecilia folded her arms together over the table, with very little change in her expression. "Helena, I didn't mean that your powers define you. I meant that they're a part of you. In the end, you were trying to protect others. That's what defines you and I'll always look up to you for that. But getting scared and panicking? And when I could have been doing something? Anything? That's what defines me, and more than you might realize," she explained in a low yet stern voice, saddened but also angry at herself. There seemed like no other conclusion left to her except that she had let everyone down, including Helena and Neric. She wasn't interested in any concession on Helena's nor anyone's part. As far as Cecilia was concerned, if she couldn't handle it, she had no business being here. "Thanks, but this is something I'll need to overcome myself. I need to get stronger. Nothing more than that..." Cecilia contemplated rising from her seat and getting out of the situation, but decided not to for now. Despite this, she couldn't just fake a smile and continue as things were, like years before.
Sorry guys for taking so long. Something came up.
@1Hawkeyes@LiegeLord@SoulEater
Cecilia felt terrible seeing Helena this way. It was apparent that the shapeshifter blamed herself for transforming and frightening her. But it felt as if one of Cecilia's worst fears was coming true. She, in turn, couldn't look directly at Helena nor anyone else for that matter. She could already tell what was going to happen. Helena would say how terrible she feels, wouldn't do anything to hurt to scare her, etc. She'll possibly decide to be "careful around" her, not using her power. Cecilia felt as disgusted at the notion as she was before.

This was it. It was happening right in front of her. She gulped, letting out a stiff breath thtough her nose. If this was the end, she was going to have her say. It may at least make whatever she has coming to her easier to swallow. "No, don't apologize Helena. You were trying to protect everyone..." she stated, sill looking away from everyone and towards the window. "I'm the one who couldn't handle it..." she wearily confessed. "I panicked... and I'm sorry... I'll understand if you wouldn't want to be my friend after this... I-I want you to be yourself, and... if you don't think you can around me... well... You shouldn't have to wait on me." She found it hard to continue, but it's possible Helena would know what she meant. It hurt to say, and she felt tired for saying it. Yet she just continued looking away in tentatively calm defeat.
@SoulEater
Cecilia wasn't eating with as much "vigor" as she had at the start, her appetite diminishing while she was alone with her thoughts. She did, however, finish her rice ball, finding it a pleasant and refreshing surprise. But even the rice delicacy couldn't keep her mind off things for long. She peered out the window next to her as she somberly mulled the day over. It was her habit, though it felt off since the outside wasn't speeding by her. "Hmm?" Her attention quickly shifted to Edmond, smiling and carrying a plate of desserts. "Edmond? You want to seat? Sure," she answered with a slight smile. She wasn't expecting nor feeling up to having company, but she couldn't just say no either.

@LiegeLord@1Hawkeyes
She sat up in slight alarm when she saw James and Helena come over. Her eyes eyed her less than finished lunch, her mind racing. Perhaps she should have finished earlier so she could have spent some time somewhere secluded. Either way, she definitely didn't feel ready to see Helena right now. But there was nowhere for her to go. So she just nodded and smiled nervously, trying to seem as accommodating as possible. "Ah... N-not at all, you two. Pl-Please sit anywhere," she skittishly answered them.
Varen
@Noodles
Varen patiently observed Isamu dispatch the retreating dagger user, a small break of a chuckle escaping his mouth as the formerly lone player spat at his dying and fragmenting opponent. He wondered at all the time and effort some jerk-asses spent to program things like this into a game, a "death-game" no less. It seemed like a waste, a hilarious waste, but a waste nonetheless. Still, he waited for his teammate until he was ready to fight again. It was the least Varen could do after Isamu kindly waited until he eventually finished off the initiate himself.

The red-haired spearman quickly followed after the soloplayer. Enyo. So that was your name... he thought, as he trailed behind, his carefree expression betraying nothing. "Yeah, that guy sure loved to kill. How about we kill one more guy for him!" Varen enthusiastically exclaimed, his weapon firmly grasped with his left hand. He would likely be the last person to reach the tank. Still, Varen grinned, knowing his attacks' added piercing damage should prove effective.

Once on the scene, he circled the tank, making sure to stay out if the PKer's range. Varen threw the occasional knife to divert the target's attention and granting the others a chance to attack. Only when attention wasn't on him would he poke and prod the tank with his spear.
Cecilia took a sip of her lemonade, cleansing her palate before going for another taste of the mashed potatoes. All that time, her eyes were casually fixed on the rice ball. She had been saving it till now, the food she was familiar with grabbing her attention. But she knew she had to try it eventually, so she cut off a piece of the outer rice layer with her fork and carefully lifted it to her mouth. "Mmm." Unfamiliar, but not at all unpleasant. It was quite good and she hadn't even gotten to the fish jelly yet. Perhaps Mystery wouldn't mind teaching her how to make rice balls of her own.

@1Hawkeyes
Cecilia recognized Helena's voice in the distance and turned to see her enjoying her own rice ball. She turned away abruptly, a saddened and ashamed look on her face. It wasn't as though she could just forget the sight of Helena's fearsome transformation. But what hurt more than anything was her own reaction to the young shapeshifter's power - disgraceful. Cecilia kinda hoped she wouldn't recognize her. She couldn't expect Helena to forgive her, but hopefully she'd at least accept her apology when the time came.
This just a thing I'm wondering. But if you edit your own post and put a mention in it, will the person get the notification? At any rate, I edited my post to say CC got a rice ball.
Cecilia, who had decided to go for something simple and was carrying a plate of grilled chicken along with steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes with a cup of vanilla pudding for dessert, sought out a window seat for herself. It was her tendency to gravitate towards the window seat wherever she is. She enjoyed peering out of them, especially while on the road as a simple yet effective way to pass the time. She looked around her, seeing her friends getting to know each other. It was refreshing to see, leaving her with nothing to do but enjoy her meal, Cecilia starting with the chicken, which she tore out a small piece of with her fork, a big grin on her face.

@The1Rolling1Boy
A couple minutes into her lunch, Cecilia looked in Mystery's direction, seeing him lay the ice balls on another table. She hadn't had one before, but wasn't about to refuse. "They look really good, Mystery. Thank you," she said gladly, getting up to resectfully take one for herself. She didn't know what to expect as she returned to her seat, but it certainly looked fresh.
