Haha, hello all! I am WingDing Gaster. Most people have taken to calling me Gast, but I also respond to Wing. I am so glad to be a part of the Kingdom of Etirath! Chances are high that once I settle in and get my character app completed, I will be hunting each and every last one of you down to roleplay with. Mark. My. Words.
Of course I can't promise that I won't take my sweet time doing it, but still. It's the thought that counts!
Anyway.
This forum in particular is a tad bit different than most roleplay forums that I've dabbled with, so please bare with me if I seem confused or uncomfortable or anything of the like! ;w; The community is smaller than I'm used to, or perhaps just quieter. I'm more used to friendly chatter being a constant and daily thing in the chatbox, and I'm also used (and thus more comfortable with) forums with strict/tight constraints on both plot and character design. That being said, everything being held together so loosely here makes me anxious, but I promised myself I would give this place a try! I felt it deserved a chance, seeing as how I searched for literal hours for that perfect high fantasy roleplay forum with just the right amount of activity and components set in place. And, lemme tell you, I'm shocked at how narrow those specifications appear to be out there in the roleplay forum universe. This place was the only one that I could find that managed to satisfy my search queue. It's not a perfect match, but, gosh, I'm not gonna pass on a place with such succulent lore as this. *w* (I'll admit, it was these two pages ("Firstborn" and "Political System" ) that really pushed me over the edge to join. I've no idea why - the lore within it, and the attractive way it was written, just told me I needed to become a part of all of this.)
As I said before, I've found other roleplay forums that share some qualities as this. All of them were original-plot based, they featured your "standard" fantasy races, they were set in a high fantasy universe, and they had a social community. The main difference between this lovely Kingdom of Etirath and those other places I've tried my hand at is the fact that they were much more strict when it came to finding a way to fit your character into their universe.
I mean no offense to this place, but I absolutely prefer more strict entry requirements. I see it as more of a challenge, and by the time I finally get my character finished (I usually got them in on the first try, lucky me) they managed to be unique and original despite being made with the same cookie-cutter-like character creation kit. I would come out of it feeling more accomplished and I had more respect for my character.
But!
I'm excited to try this new system. I might be comfortable with strict requirements, but that's only because it's all that I know. I grew up with that sort of system when it came to online rp forums. So it's going to be interesting to give this place a try and see what I can really do since there's fewer limits. (And! Do you want to know a secret? ;w; I've noticed a trend with those stricter rp forums that I've been glorifying for the past three paragraphs or so: they always end up forming cliques among the community. Because every character shares certain qualities, since they need to in order to get in, ones in particular always get sent straight up to the top, while newer members or members with unique ideas get cheated or pushed around. With this place, such a thing is hard to do!)
Ah, but, I've rambled on for far too long. I'm shocked you've read this much! I appreciate it. ;w; I'll be seeing you around! Let's hope that this forum turns out to be "the one," unlike the others in my past.
EDIT: I figured I should add a little more about myself.
I'm 17. I just graduated from high school this summer, and I've been writing for almost as long as I can remember. I'm an artist (nothing too serious though like painting or sculpting, haha), a gamer, and I spend most of my life either sleeping or listening to music. When I attend college (either this August or next year) I plan on studying videogame development and 3D model animation. When I was little it was my dream to write a bestseller and have it made into a movie, and while that would still be a nice goal to have, I don't see it happening any time soon. I have major clinical depression and anxiety, so maybe it would be best to keep that in mind if I ever disappear for long periods of time or if I just seem...off. But otherwise I'm as chipper and friendly as can be! ;w; I love flowers and clouds, but at the same time I hate going outside unless its cold and there's an overcast. Dogs are my weakness. I can't think of anything else that really defines me at the moment, plus it's way too early in the morning (5:45 AM where I am right now, haha I stayed up the whole night) so I guess I'll just leave this here?
Yeah. See you around! ;w;

Welcome to Etirath, we usually don't do much chatting on the forums themselves because we have a Kik chat for all the members who wish to participate in such a thing. I hope you find what you're looking for here and that I will see you around the forums.

Welcome ShyLeviathan, or Levi.. I am Leb, also known as Lebi due to my previous name upon another site being Lebiram. Our community may be small but we are strong! And new additions are always welcome. I realize that the rules appear lenient but this comes from experience with mentioned site having complications with newcomers not understanding the rules and felt them too harsh and strict. I share your sentiments on such things as they too were what I am used to. The chatter is quiet here as most chatter is held offsite over kik for convenience sake as we have a tendency to spout nonsense for hours that have completely nothing to do with the kingdom.
You and I will surely become the best of friends...
We leave the fantasy open enough to explore possibilities yet have a set lore to follow as well. I find that it generates challenges and interesting concepts that can add to the core lore and expand the world in a new light. As for the strict entry requirements, you'll find that it can be a bit difficult as we are still developing races and setting the rules of how things are done. An example is necromancy, there are set rules your character must follow if they wished to delve into this tabooed magic and the misuse of it can and will cost your character's life of course. But by all means, be creative and share the possible stories that can unfold with your character.
As for the cliques you spy in those other forums, you could say this is just one large clique that had moved away (or rebelled) from a broken site to continue our adventure together. Ha.. I do hope to see more from you soon!
I swear if I didn't know better, I would assume you were my other half as we share eerily similar lifestyles... and share many the same sentiments. However Cats are my weakness. And I wanted to be a manga artist with a hit animated series. And then there's the fact I'm 22. So yea XD
Again, I welcome thee to our humble community of great possibility~

Yeah, no cliques here. You seem fun.
And indeed, less inactive more quiet, as you spy. Hope you stick around, it'll be a pleasure to RP with you! If you have any questions, feel free to PM me at any time.

Might you have a Kik account? We would love to have you in our main group chat. It's often a lot more active than the site itself. xD
