Forums » Introductions » Hey! :D

I made an account here a long while ago, tried to get into it, but admittedly I'm easily intimidated by communities no matter the size. ):'

Finally coming around and trying to slowly work on some characters and maybe get some roleplay in. I've been on the block for a good three years now, so excuse the rust as I slowly try to polish my way back to what I use to be, if not hopefully better. :'D

Anyway! How are all you guys doing? It's been full of crazy lately over here, but crazy is good! It's been getting things done.

Hey! No need to fear, RPR is the friendliest home on the web! Tell us what kind of RP you like, browse characters and don't be shy to send PM requests. I'm doing great! New apartment, new life, new baby on the way so I am in a happy place! How about you?

We hear a lot that people are not used to communities or being overly social, but most of them come around eventually once they figure out how we roll.

Don't forget to check out RP Discussion in the midst of all the crazy! Most people end up finding a bunch of roleplay there. And be sure to let us know if you need any help around the site or with anything else.

Minerva: At this point, almost anything. x__x I'm going to be so bad off the bat that I'm focusing purely on getting back into a groove. xD I'll keep that in mind though.

Glad to hear things are going well for you! It's been calming down here. Got a break this weekend, finally!

Sanne: I'll be sure to! I was kind of glancing at that as well as Smalltalk earlier! Haha.

And don't worry, I'm not terribly afraid of asking for help - at least, I'm about as shy with it as I am talking in general, and I managed to get past that step! So I should be clear there. I'll let you know if anything comes up that I need help with.

Welcome to the site Makahe! I understand being intimidated. I think it happens to a whole lot of people. Kudos to you for having the courage to step outside your comfort zone and introduce yourself. I think you'll find that everyone is pleased as punch to meet you.

Also, I have no idea what animal your icon and profile pictures are of, but they are both hilarious and adorable and well done.

Thank you, Kim! I'm more afraid of folks laughing at my stale and stiff writing since I'm way out of practice, but hopefully I can find someone to work through it with me and get me back on track! I really miss roleplaying.

As for the animal - it is just a Hidoghee*! She's mostly based on pinnipeds, but I gave her a different tail and arms like a human. I made her up on a whim and for a while I considered her my sona, but now she is more or less her own character and I just use her as a stand-in for myself. Not so much "This is me" as it is "I'm ok with this representing me" anymore. xD Think of her as my mascot! I love her to bits.

And lastly thank you for the compliment on the profile pictures! My avatar is by Majas*, but I made the MSPaint doodles a while ago. I need to fix the colors on them but they're still accurate enough!

*No longer relevant to current icon, new Swashfin icon by Rainbow!

I understand all about moving on from sonas as you get older. Mine divided and polarized into min and rumea.

Hi there! Sanne is right, I happen to be looking for members in a thread in RP Discussion right now. Hope to see you there!

Also your character is the best of all possible characters.

Edit: In this, or any universe.

I think you have a fan, Makahe.

Minerva: Yeah, though much anymore I don't really have one. But I still like using Hid, she is a fun character for me. :B

OS3_Ross: I'll look into it! And thank you. Thank you so much! You have no idea how much that means to me right now (due to recent happenings).

Kim: It appears so. xD

Upon closer inspection, by "your character" I meant "the thing on your profile page"

I took one look at it and made up my mind

Hidoghee? I assumed so! She's my favorite too.

I don't really roleplay her though. Just an avatar I use to represent myself! Wouldn't be against trying it but... xD You know.

I like the goofy expression of complete enthusiasm on its face in most of the pictures.

Is that to represent your own goofy enthusiasm for life?

I think it's to represent how it would be impossible to be that thing and not be smiling all of the time.

Kind of both! Sarcastic smiles are the second most common from her, right behind her enthusiastic one. 8D

Next is just the frown of "did you really just do that why would you do that you look like an idiot".

I glanced at the rules and didn't see anything about double-posting?? If there is one, feel free to delete this.

Computer kaput on me, got a new one. Slowly bringing back all of my bookmarks'n'things, so sorry for introducing and ditching but I'm back! This time I'll make an effort to hang out here more often!

Double posting is a-okay so long as you have something non-spammy to add to the conversation.

Welcome back! So sorry to hear about your computer!

It's ok! As I said, I'm just sorry I introduced and ditched. Hopefully I can get around to cranking out some profiles!
