When you go from walking around at 5am like a half shut knife to bouncing out your bed 10 minutes before the alarm goes off within a month of early starts at work. Self-improvement, ho!

How to know when your day as a home shopper will be busy - when your boss can't be arsed counting all the orders to pick so he logs the official total as 'mental' :-P

Best feelings as a GM #1 - Sitting at work cackling because a player has literally set up an amazing plot hook without realising it. *evil chuckle*

Bio

Well, where to begin?

I found my love of roleplays through a brief block of sessions of D&D when I screwed up enough and brought an class from an entirely different plane to join the main party. After following the plot to the end - which involved our dwarven pilot flying a gunship while simultaneously controlling 4 cannons by tying string around them - we ended up crashing through a portal onto a different plane. When attempting to formulate a plan, one of the PCs delivered a line that has stayed with me ever since.

"Ask the artificer, he's already done it once."

Since then, I've done a 3+ year RP between two players - using the FATE system - in which we created an entire city through creating mentally unstable characters and callus cold-blooded killers. One particularly nasty NPC came about by a sheer accident, when the melee-build character out-snarked the diplomat. Which was much more fun than it sounds. Had a bad experience with this site before, in which the GM didn't plan far enough ahead to include any NPCs whatsoever, and the other characters had no interest in Player-to-Player interactions outside of their own 2-man group. Needless to say, it died with incredible speed, which was a shame.

But I was tempted back by a friend to play a Pokemon RP despite having no knowledge whatsoever of the topic outside of Gen 1 stuff, and even that was years ago. Despite everything, I've not only been holding my own, but coming up with a completely separate sub-plot from the main plot, and making the GM's life a misery. (Sorry Zan!)

My writing style draws heavily from the likes of Worm and The Dresden Files, which means I can do a great deal of two things. Snark and Escalation. Outside of that, I like to think i'm a dynamic roleplayer, but I prefer sticking to High Fantasy sort of settings. Anything Slice of Life-y doesn't do it for me. Unless i'm slinging magic, psuedo-magic or demons (while snarking at whoever is unlucky enough to warrant it) I feel as though I could be doing something more entertaining with my time. When it comes to RP systems, I enjoy FATE or narrative based things.

My first RP which I am GMing on this site is themed around Dragon Age as carried on from the far superior (in my humble opinion) plot of the first game.

That's pretty much all there is to know about me that people would actually care about. I'll update it as I do with important changes or epic moments. Until then, feel free to PM me if you have questions or invites to stuff, and i'll respond as soon as I can. ^.^

Sorry it isn't longer, but i'm trying not to advance the plot too much till Leos is ready =P
Oghren gave a roar of drunken laughter at the warrior’s reply. “I’ll give you that one. Mostly ‘cause I can’t argue with it.” Bringing his axe down upon a fallen darkspawn with a yell, he proceeded to get stuck into the fighting.




“I appreciate the sentiment, High Constable, but I’m not leaving my men here. They haven’t abandoned me these past three months, and I won’t do so now.” Celica spoke, looking determined. A softer lilt came into her voice the second time round. “Although I would certainly appreciate a chance to breath.”

She moved to view the battlefield, watching as the Hurlock alpha drew a last breath. The stab wounds hadn’t killed it, but it couldn’t rise, and it wasn’t long before an Ogre stood on it, which drew a smile from the Warden-Commander.




Meanwhile, two Genlock alphas accompanied by a cabal of various other darkspawn, moved to assault the line again. Racing towards Nicolette, Oghren and Rannon, they gave a bloodcurdling warcry. Several were cut short by more pinpoint arrows from above.




The sound of tearing flesh filled the air, as the Tevinter Mercenary gave a short gasp. Top and bottom half of his body now completely separate, his blood covered an invisible claw hanging in the air. Slowly, black fur began to materialise, rolling down an arm. A Shriek Alpha howled into the wind, becoming fully visible. The sound was copied by countless other unseen predators lurking within the Warden camp. Celica suddenly panicked.

“Damn it! That’s why they deliberately blew up the mines!” She yelled, mostly to herself. That was only the half of it. With the mage now dead, the demon of Despair was free from his control, and began flash-freezing as many soldiers and Wardens as darkspawn. Raining little shard of ice down, Mila fired an arrow towards it. The demon froze the water, causing the arrow to become point-heavy, and smash into an unsuspecting Warden below.

“This is why I hate relying on demons.” Muttered the Warden-Commander.
Gotta question the purpose of a single-player RP on a public forum. Looks more like a book, personally.
@Ardent DawnOh, I know I do. But does something as simple as being possessed sound good enough for me, Ardent? =P
Tantalus forgot Gravity!

Tantalus learned Moonblast!

In the news, that's probably my first and only level up through battle. I much prefer narrative combat, so i'll stick to that for the most part regardless. Also, since I have no idea how to handle learning a new move IC, mind if I chalk it up to creative licease? =P
Sorry for the lack of post yesterday, completely burned out from a post-and-a-half from another RP. Will get one up today, providing our new player doesn't want me to hold off for their character to join first. Will be back later today, since I have college, and will see/post then ^.^
Ha...

Hahaha...

Hahahahahaha...

And I was worried I wouldn't have it by the time my next post comes around. @Thundercrash@ZanavyMuch appreciated =P
@ZanavyWe both know that isn't true.

He'd conspire with the blender in order to form an army of healthy, nutritious breakfast supplements, somehow turn the whole thing evil, and use it to take over Hoenn.

Fitting for the embodiment of Life, really =P
@ZanavyOh my god. That signature is amazing =P
