Might be active again soon™. Bio/etc definitely needs a lot of TLC.

About Me
I am a second year undergraduate student at the Rochester Institute of Technology which, as the name would suggest, is in Rochester, New York. I am studying Software Engineering – essentially, programming plus all of the processes, paperwork, etc. that I'll be doing in the real world. I have been programming in some capacity since I was eight, and once I discovered programming I simply never stopped writing code. Some of that code I've written was for this very website, and hopefully there will be a fair bit more of that in the near future.
I discovered programming in a game called ROBLOX, and coincidentally that is also where I first discovered roleplaying. One day I was exploring the forums, and noticed a roleplaying section. Curious, I took a look and I was instantly hooked. The content was mostly in the Free RP level, with a small amount of Casual tier games, but at the time even that was high quality content to me. Over the years my interest in the game faded, and although I continued programming after ultimately leaving the community, I did not continue roleplaying.
Years later, I gradually started wanting to get back into roleplaying. I began googling around, and after looking at a few different websites I finally decided that the Guild seemed to be the best of them all. I made an account on December 13, 2014, and started jumping into some games; I quickly decided on sticking to mostly High Casual, but eventually moved more towards Advanced as I realized that most of the games I was in were easily at that level anyway. This was right around the time that Mahz was working on rebuilding the website from the ground up, and after chatting with him for a while in the IRC during some site downtime I decided that I wanted to help.
I ultimately didn't contribute too much, but nevertheless I was the first (and so far, only) non-anonymous user to help Mahz with developing the website. As a reward, after he implemented the trophy system I was awarded the special Benevolent Cyberpunk trophy, which gives me a special userbit that looks like this:
After roughly a year and a half of being here, life started getting in the way more and more, and my activity became increasingly infrequent. Eventually, a little after the two year mark, I became completely inactive; I was in my senior year of high school, neck deep in college plans, and didn't have time for it anymore. I'd log in every now and then to check if I had missed anything, but until quite recently never stayed. I am back now, though, and hopefully I'm here to stay. I plan on getting back into roleplaying in the near future, and I also plan on starting to help out with the website once more. I've learned so much since when I first saw the code running the Guild, and hopefully I'll be significantly more helpful than I was back then!

@Araby264 can I just ask, is your picture Faith from Mirror's Edge? :D
Speaking of...
Since Marci has got Gray bagged...
I wonder where one Mister Porter has gotten to.
Are you asking why there hasn't been a Tom post yet? Because laziness and procrastination, if that's what you're asking
@Etcetera Yeah, like I said, when you can reply immediately after the post, the quote doesn't seem necessary. Obviously if 15 people are posting simultaneously, a quote would help.
@LegendBegins I actually use @Mentions quite a lot more than quotes. If the context isn't so important, or my reply is immediately below the post I'm replying to, quotes just seem like excess scrolling to me.
Sorry everyone for the delays, I've been busy with schoolwork and other RPs lately. I will try to find time to finish my sheet, and we can start right after. This weekend at the latest, I promise.
@AuntFlavia *nods* although if your computer isn't being "...weird" when we do it, I would prefer to do it in a chatzy (if you don't know, it's just a free browser-based, semi-private chatroom) or write it together on a google doc. Up to you, though!
@AuntFlavia along the same lines, would you like to do a collab with Jonas and Tom interacting on the shared balcony, probably after the party? It's bound to happen eventually, anyway
Also, as far as the "delete my post" button, it currently isn't in the works but it will be immediately, if Mahz consents to it. Will report back later when I have an answer.

^ Seconded.
Tom Porter
"I guess you all got the invitation, too, yeah?" Tom heard the newest girl to arrive say, looking up. He nodded, sipping his coffee.
"Weird? Definitely. But an all-expenses paid trip to Germany? A chance to escape – well, life, for a little while? I'll take that any day, weird or not." Leaning back and rubbing his temples, he muttered, "That party popper was a bitch to clean up, though."
Looking up from his coffee, Tom looked around at the two new people to arrive. The first one, a girl who was very pretty – in Tom's opinion – seemed rather shy. Couldn't blame her, since she dropped herself into a foreign land at the expense of an unknown host, for reasons that are as of yet a mystery. When he put it that way, Tom wasn't sure why he had thought it was a good idea. The second one was definitely not shy, having the guts to initiate a conversation with a bunch of people that were strangers to one another. But you'd have to have guts to agree to go on this adventure, I suppose. Tom looked up at the ceiling, then immediately regretted it, flinching subtly – although the lighting is quite comfortable, looking directly at it is not, and doing so with a hangover is even worse. Taking another sip of coffee, he sighed.
