Current The only thing I love more than the protracted development of passion projects, is NOT getting other people's money involved.

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

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.

Viranti

Viranti didn't know what to make of the church before him. What would call for such an ornamented structure. Was it home to someone very pompous and important. Perhaps it belonged this God of Light Lucius himself? In which case, why should he bother with the Oracle herself when he could just talk with him directly? He no sooner put one step forward that he heard from behind the approach of an elderly man of military background given his attire. The dragon would just as soon ignore the man as he let him walk passed, not keen on strangers following him. "And what if I am, human?" Viranti responded flatly, waiting until the man was a good distance away before going into the church himself.
@Illium Vethelot

The well aged doors opened into a bright and imposing chamber of high stained windows and fixtures of various flashy materials. It took about a few seconds for Viranti to realize this wasn't the kind of structure where anyone actually lived in. At the very least, he couldn't imagine anyone making a home here. It was all very gaudy in his eyes, and prolonged exposure to this place for an extended period of time might just make him sick. He walked briskly about the room, trying to address the worshipers he found (less violently given he was developing a headache and they weren't outright running away). It took time, but he soon gathered that direct contact with the Great God and Savior Lucius was rare, and that the Oracle hadn't arrived yet.

And so the young dragonute chose a spot by the wall where he'd be less likely to be bothered and waited with his arms crossed and eyes closed. As the Oracle arrived, he could simply hear the varied footfalls and gear rustling of the gang accompanying her. Perhaps they were security, meant to guard her. It seemed like a possibility. But would they really start a fight here. He was even told that this was sacred ground and violence was not permitted here by one of the churchgoers for some reason. Yet at the same time, he himself got in and he had no qualms with setting the place ablaze if he saw fit, so these "people" could be just as destructive as him, which was a concern. And if the Oracle should be hurt or worse, there goes his only lead at getting home. He was acquainted with waiting and biding his time, but it always came hard for him and this was no different.

It was not too surprising that Cecilia couldn't tell the difference between a shark's fin and a dolphin's fin. However, she didn't have time to reflect on this new bit of experience, as Neric then splashed both her and James with water. Thoroughly shocked, she rose her arms along with the shaft of her paddle in a knee-jerk attempt at blocking the oncoming water, unsurprisingly unsuccessful as she was splashed, partially soaked. As she had suspected, the lake water was profoundly cold and she could feel it all the way through her clothes, the wind being knocked out of her so to speak. She gasped, her hands subconsciously and hurriedly over her upper arms. A split second later, she remembered her oar, which had started to drop into the lake. She outstretch her hand to reclaim it, grabbing hold of it just before it went beyond her reach, the boat rocking considerably before settling. Cecilia gripped her paddle close to her chest and tighter than ever, her heart racing. "I think so..." she ended up saying in a small, trembling voice.
@LiegeLord
Cecilia nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I guess we can do that." It was a reasonable suggestion and well worth her consideration as she readied her oar, setting it down on the same side of the canoe that James set his down, their combined paddling turning their vessel around and facing the way they came. With James at the front, Cecilia again began to harmonize her rows with his, finding it a little easier than when they started. As the motions became more natural to her, her mind wandered. Stargazing was something she herself enjoyed, but she knew it probably wasn't everyone's idea of fun. Cecilia could just hear the counselors shoot the idea down in unison. If it wasn't for James, she would very likely just let it go. She smiled warmly, supposing it's just another way he's making her time here all the more special.
I'll see about posting sometime tomorrow.
@LiegeLord
His words were touching and it showed to a large extent on her face how much she valued his sentiments. She felt like she could sit in that canoe with him for hours. But she had to admit to herself that it just wouldn't be right of them to idle anymore than they already had. "Stargazing, you're right..." She would think intently on his question. It wasn't so much that she forgot as much as it was that she had gotten the impression that something like that may not even be permitted. "I remember and I'd love to still go stargazing with you..." she started blithely before sounding less confident as she continued. "... But I'm unsure if we'll be allowed. The counselors mentioned before that we can't even go to each others cabins and especially not without their supervision." James could likely tell that she had really looked forward to it and the possibility that it may not happen clearly wasn't something she enjoyed contemplating. She wanted to hear what James had to say, but ultimately would be happy with whatever they ended up doing together.
@LiegeLord
Cecilia was at a loss for words for a few seconds, her blush persisting as she looked up at James after he had finished. She could feel her pulse quicken against her vest, her hand still against it. "James... Th-thank you... I-I was scared back there, but... what I was really afraid of was the thought that I let everyone down, especially you because..." she hesitated, shyly looking down. This was nearing what she was intending to say to him back when she saw him waiting by the cabin previously. She could never get the words right in her head and there was a chance she wouldn't fair any better now. But she resumed anyway, regaining eye contact with him and making sure to breathe in. "Ever since I've gotten to know you and especially after spending time with you, I've wanted to be the kind of person you could rely on. I was scared even before I came to this camp. It just took the accident for me to realize how much I truly was. But you were always there. You introduced me to Neric and were there for me ever since... I mean what I said, now more than ever. You two are just so amazing... and I... I want to be there for you, James," she spoke genuinely, smiling more freely after saying what she wanted to, almost everything anyway. She managed to maintained her composure too, which was always a plus. She looked over the side again, anxious over what James would say.
@LiegeLord
Cecilia didn't interrupt James, but chuckled when he did. There was something about his moments of levity that she found charmingly infectious. That and she never actually bothered, in all the time she was here, to really think of this camp as a sanctuary. But James could likely tell from her bright expression that she wholeheartedly agreed. He appeared to have more to say but paused, looking away before continuing. She wouldn't expect what he'd say next, her face flushing more so than ever before. "R-Really?... you think I'm amazing?..." she repeated aloud, looking away at the lake and her enclosed hand over her vest. "You really mean that?" she timidly followed up. There was no question that she would always be more than happy to help, especially when it came to encouraging James and Neric to open up more. But she'd be more inclined to call amazing (aside from James and Neric themselves) anyone whom they can rely on like he mentioned. Since the incident earlier, she didn't feel like one of those people they could depend on, even though she wanted to be more than anything.
@cloudystar
Will do. :p
I feel that now that nearly everyone is pretty much traveling as one group under the GM's direction instead of one or so posts per character, things should settle down compared to how hectic the beginning of an RP tends to be. I even quit my hijinks and got on with it. So no one has to worry about me posting random stuff for the time being. I would suggest perhaps holding off on random encounters like the thugs for now. I believe things should settle down in the long run.
I'm likely not going to keep up, so I just left my guy at the church already.
