The Internet: Where people with no balls can resort to trolling people anonymously so they don't get their asses kicked.

A friend of mine once told me that 'it's only ego if you can't back it up'. Too many people like to confuse confidence for arrogance -- there's a big difference.

Not to get all psychological, but some people are actually just 'wired' to take things people say literally. I'm like that to an extent, but I've learned that people here are usually just shitposting.

Happy Anniversary, Ailyn. Six years ago, you gave me a kindred soul, and brought light into a life which for all intents and purposes had been mostly nothing but darkness.

Valentine's Day's bittersweet when you've endured a long-distance relationship for over five years. Here's to celebrating the strength of a meaningful bond, instead of taking a shallow and easy path.

This bio will get reconstructed once I've left the site for good. I'll be collecting my data in the background for now, and sorting some loose ends. I'll be on and off to do it, so don't think I'm back if you see me around. Once I've dealt with everything, I'll log out properly and remove my 'ghost' status, and that'll be the last this site sees of me. This community is in serious need of growing up, and I'm not the least bit surprised that role-plays die here so frequently.

The 'Grim Reaper's Gambit' role-play is likely to reboot elsewhere eventually. The role-play will have some modifications, so contact me if you're curious since the original project won't accurately explain everything. There's no determined date for it to happen yet, since I've got other priorities and I'm not investing a lot of time in it until enough of the people interested have free time to properly commit (lack of dedication on the part of some players practically destroyed the previous version; it's very apparent it would've died even if I hadn't decided to leave). There's a group that're quite interested, but most of them are busy.

Anyway, come back later for an update later -- or don't; it's your life.

Contact Details

Tell me who you are or I possibly won't accept the request, since I assume most requests are bots.
Yes, people who I rarely/never spoke to - or who never met me - while I was still here are welcome.
No, those who disrespected me (and aren't sorry) while I was here or are trolls/immature in general aren't welcome.
Also, keep in mind that not all of these are currently being used actively, so friend request replies might be delayed on some of them.

Playstation Network (PSN): Shoryu_Magami
(I'm fairly easy to contact through here, though I'm not really gaming much due to my main project's workload.)

Discord: Shoryu Magami#4323
(Unlike Skype, I primarily text chat on this instead of voice chat. It's currently one of the easiest ways to find me. It causes my PC a lot of problems though.)

Skype: solitaryangel1983
(Usually running on my phone, mostly so I can talk to my fiancé, so it's easy to find me here. I've currently got no access to it on PC. It might take a while to see requests.)

Facebook: James Koutsoukis - Shoryu Magami
(Barely ever on this, but it exists. Mostly exists so @Ailyn Evensen can list me as her fiancé. You'll find me easily on messenger if you add me, but I don't do much else.)

Yahoo IM: shoryu_magami
(Does this even still exist anymore? It used to be my main method of text chat, but it's not on my current PC.)

"The souls that God has given us, our spirits.
Our spirits, which found a way to swim through the immense network and live in the infinity of space.
Is not the human body a mere shell, a form of existence all too small and weak for consciousness with such vast reach and potential?"
Dr. Londes (Cowboy Bebop)

"When you're in the darkness, you only sink deeper into it. Keep the light shining."

Alucard (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night)

"If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them.
Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever."
Sarah Mohr (The Crow)

"Is there an indelible line dividing sanity from insanity, or do they change, one into the other, at the slightest turn of events?
We'll find out, soon enough, that the world itself is insane."
Vincent Volaju (Cowboy Bebop: The Movie)

"It's not the result of one's life that's important.
It's the day-to-day concerns, the personal victories, and the celebration of life... and love.
It's enough if people are able to experience the joy that each day can bring."
Terra Branford (Final Fantasy VI)

@TheUnknowable

Not exactly available to join up, given my workload (plus I've got no idea what I'd use), but as soon as I saw this I felt like I had to ask:

So, Mystery Men, basically?
@Landaus Five-One

Ah, right. I don't think I'd put up my GA characters in a thread on this site, but I might. I feel like I'd be more inclined to just make a Wiki.

I've got a few other profiles on this site, but they're only in PM since I never ended up applying for the role-plays.
@Landaus Five-One

Lol, I see. That's a long title, yeah. I'll take a look eventually if I get time.

Cheers, at any rate. My character profiles on this site are considerably more simplified than they are for GA, especially since the first two posts of characters were brand new to this site, then the next post is full of canon characters I've adapted, and finally the GRG characters only have a portion of the CS visible because the 'Private CS' part is kept hidden in PM.
@Landaus Five-One

Right, I get'cha.

In general, I find that I'd rather just be honest with people and risk having some drama, instead of wear a mask. I'm far more interested in being true to myself, and if that causes some drama then so be it.
@Landaus Five-One

I don't so much pursue drama so much as it pursues me, since I tend to be extremely forthright with people.
@Landaus Five-One

Lol, yeah. I mean, it'd be alright if I was actually a member of the role-play, but considering I'm not it felt a bit weird. Shadow probably doesn't mind, but I figured there's better places for us to blab.
@Landaus Five-One

Yeah, it's cool to meet other people who've got something big in the work. Honestly, mine's insane how extensive it gets, which is why I need to organize all the data before it becomes too much. I've admittedly got more data than any ordinary person could ever handle, and it's worth keeping in mind that the vast majority of it's stored in my head.

Anyway, we should probably take it easy on the OOC. Admittedly, I seem to 'take over' any thread I become a part of, but I'd rather not make this OOC derail off of the role-play, since that's not fair to Shadow. We can keep talking over PM, or you're welcome to use the hang-out thread that's linked in my signature -- it pretty much exists for this sort of talk.

I feel like I shouldn't post here too much unless I commit to joining.
@Landaus Five-One

Lol, something like that.

Fyi, I find it kinda amusing that we're talking on this and PM at the same time.
@Landaus Five-One

Yeah, I'm a big fan of OSTs, and I find JRPGs often have some of the best stuff.

I admittedly don't think I'm familiar with any RTS games, since most of the 'strategy' games I've played before are TJRPGs, although a few games I've played had mild RTS elements added into them (one of the games in the Suikoden series, for example).

Back in the old days (I'm ancient by role-player standards) I used to grind pretty heavily on whatever game I played, but now I'm too busy to really invest more than fifteen minutes at a time. I've been building up a large backlog of games for the last decade or so that I plan to sit down and play... 'eventually'. Lol.
@Landaus Five-One

Right, makes sense that the profiles take a while. I can't do that part until my data is sorted.

I mostly play JRPGs for the story/music/setting/characters/et cetera, not the game-play, because I find them all insanely easy. When I want to use strategy, I play fighting games or chess (I'm actually considered quite high level at both of them, and I've taught other people how to play fighting games at tournament level).
