Hey everyone

Like Chels, I've done mostly anything with RP, I've been on many sites, she's made and made several of them along with her...

This time around, I'm mostly along as a player and RPG creator as I'm probably going to be too busy with University studies (Classical Philology, meaning ancient greek and latin), loads of travelling, weekly real-life RPGs which I have more than 3 of running currently, an RPG design contest I'm planning to contribute to, as well as my work in the organization of the local RPG group.
However I'll be around whenever I can, probably drop by daily, when I'm not stressed, and always be happy to help anyone who's in need of advice, clarafications or just a talk about roleplay, writing or anything else you can think of.

Also, you should see me around at strange times for the US-based members as I'm from Denmark, ie Europe-based, and usually on in evenings here...

Okay, and time to update my own intro to keep to the rules Chels posted, surely with the intention of adding to my busy enough schedule.

Name: Siv (besides, the picture at the side is me, some 4 years ago, heavily moderated, but the only reasonably sized portrait like thing I could find online.
Age: 21 (meh, most of you people make me feel old)
Apart from the above random info: Okay so a bit more on me, I'm chronically stressed, always finding more to do than I have time to do, and always wanting time to pursue more of my interests actively. Interests are: Roleplay, languages, linguistics, travel, ancient cultures, history, politics, philosophy, drawing, art, playing music, listening to music, gaming a bit of this and that. Oh and reading. And obviously, sleep lack.
Oh, and I'm in my 2nd relationship, which is a bit past 1 year old - I guess, and living with my bf, 26, making me feel much less old. Oh and planning to move soonish as I'm tired of our current landlord and the broken fridge he outfitted our place with and the lack of space here, and the lack of heat at winter.
Enough ranting about that.

Favorite RPG genre: Fantasy, definitely fantasy, currently nothing makes me a quarter as happy as the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. I've done mostly anything though, but I tend to stay out of things too closely based of movies, stories or such as I might not agree with other peoples take on the story, might find it too close to the storyline, which I, no offense to those who do, just don't find to trigger my creative impulses.

Sample: Gah, Chels, I don't ever keep old things around for long. Besides, off portray and maybe 5-6 previous online sites, my main roleplay experience lies in roughly 4 years of weekly real-life RP, where, for the last 2 years I've rarely taken the GM hat off.
But okay, I'll indulge you this far. I'll give a description of my style, as self-critically/objectively as I'm able.
Level off RP experience/ability - possibly too advanced, too fond of rules and too used to RL RP. These days I find not so advanced things have a harder time grasping my interest.
RP interests/preferences: High detail, rules for combat if there is combat, play with statistics, limiting character power, extensive and complex plots.
If you really want an example of my style for a game that you're wondering if I'll fit, ask me and I'll dig something up/ write something up for the situation.

Bad excuses for too little time here:
1. School (semi-annual exams, literal tons of homework.
2. RL PRG takes up at least 1 evening weekly and most likely most of the weekend too.
3. Obsessively reading the latest book I've got a fancy for, most commonly RPG rules, a Brandon Sanderson fantasy novel, some old Robert Jordan stuff, or any of my other favourite authors.
4. RL RP preparation takes up at least 6 hours weekly with the number of games I'm running at the moment.
5. Contest participation for RPG writing (or so I hope, but if I don't get in this year, next year requires preparation.)
6. Practicing drawing, drawing up sketches for friends RPG characters, drawing up sketches for RPGs, drawing for a fan-based amateur RPG publicing - so far not that often, but wanting more time for it.
7. Cooking, cleaning and other necessary activities.
8. Other stuff, in which Portray finds it place.
