Bio

My Very Brief Bio

Male, 31 years old. (So I'm practically dead, as we speak.)

Likes (other than writing and roleplaying): I'm into all genres of music. I love to cook. I love the outdoors, and walking through the park near my house. (Yes, really.) I read a lot of thriller/mystery novels. And I usually watch seasonal anime. (Or cooking shows. Because Western Media provides even fewer things that are worth watching.)

But as for my many other neglected hobbies, I've played basically every sport. (Soccer and Bowling being my favorite of the bunch.) And I'm trying to play more video games. (Going through my never-ending Steam library.) Plus, I've dabbled in making electronic & metal music, and I used to play a number of instruments. (Guitar, French Horn, etc.)

Hope you have a wonderful day!

I mean, I find a lot of correlation. Y'know, if your bio is riddled with spelling errors, poor prose, and a disregard for what I wrote in the OOC, then it's probably not much better in the IC.

A light bio doesn't mean it's not well written. I guess that's what it comes down to.


But it be really hypocritical to point out people spelling errors, if you ever made one in your life. Character bios shouldn't have purple prose in it. You're writing something that clearly defines the character. They are not writing a story. If they make it difficult to understand what that character is, they have failed to write a character sheet...
@KatherinWinter I'm about to have my internet turned off, I'm supposed to be getting an agent Wed, December 6 to install new internet. And next month or later this month, I'll be moving to a new apartment which will require more time to deal with. I should have my phone internet. (though virgin mobile has been super screwy lately.) So just giving you a warning now. :D

Edit: I'm back on the internet. Thanks for your patience. Will let you know when in process on moving, in the near future, a couple weeks from now. :3
Blood poured like the sands of time. His surroundings slowed like the fading heartbeat. Bastian shaking palm placed on the dying beastkind’s chest. Noticing the beastkind moving his mouth to speak, but even when nothing came out, it became apparent what was said. Life briefly paused, the moment Bastian saw the light fading from their eyes. The unpleasant nostalgia that he’d been through this before. “I was helpless back then too…”

"Cowards are far more dangerous than those who fight with purpose.”

His father told him that all the time. But no matter how long that conversation lasted, the father couldn't get Bastian to understand. Until that gang of paper tigers, always strolling by his mansion just to throw weak insults and threats his way while laughing and playing with Bastian as a child, up on their balcony. Once seemingly harmless and ineffective, created the ones to be manipulated into eventually being trialed and sentenced, for setting the entire place ablaze while the father was horribly ill, suffering from his curse. The pathetic and weak willed, always castigated him for his greatest achievements. They’d never directly face him one on one, despite his offers to claim all he owned. Always grouping up to inflate their numbers, knowing their ideas weren’t strong enough on their own. It was never about standing for something, it was blaming others for being unable to. But those achievements literally vanished up in smoke. Because cowardice turned into violence without purpose...
* * *

Bastian snapped back into reality, quick enough to possibly not be noticed that his mind wandered off. Bastian shut the beastkind’s eyes and covered his upper body with sheets inside the tent. Before standing back up, clenching his fists and keeping his final words to himself. “Goodbye, friend...” Turning to Elizabeth, before taking her hand.

“Come, it’s time for action...we’re leaving this kingdom behind and finding my children.”
So, yeah. Back to the whole using this thread to vent about our own roleplaying annoyances...

I was going through some older fan fiction I wrote. Which was beyond frustrating. To the point where you want to strangle your younger self. When you get into college level writing comprehension/vocabulary courses before you're even out of fifth grade. I question why my knowledge doesn't always translate onto the page. I nearly want slap my brain, every time I see it. So going through over 160,000 words and seeing the same mistake over and over.



For. Fuck. Sake. Stop. Forgetting. The. Apostrophe. In. 'It's'. It's. Not. That. Hard!
I really want a block user button...

To be frank its the tone of your writing, that is upsetting people.

Did you notice that nobody else writes with your tone.

Everyone else's tone is alot more polite and helpful than your own.


Citation needed person whose never talked to me before in their life. <.< I've been called blind, hypocrite and that I have a victim complex. And I guess not polite and helpful, I guess adds to the list.
@Grim
I made a general statement. This pretending, I'm pretending to be a victim complex doesn't work. Because I never started with a personal attack. You just made several. I'm done discussing with you. Odin made a personal attack from the very beginning, it wasn't constructive criticism. Neither was anyone else's...

You're all spewing ad hominem. Not doing what I do when I point out people's flaws. I'm not the hypocrite here.
No one else would be attacked by multiple people over saying, we all make mistakes, just take roleplaying critique to heart. By anyone else. Not that I'm already well aware of that too.
