Why Hello there and welcome!
My name is Rose and I'm the admin here. I'm hyper, cheerful and highly creative. I like to draw, paint, sculpt, write and act. I'm a major fan of the Pern series and generally prefer things in the sci-fi and fantasy genres of writing. However I'd say I'm more for high fantasy or sword and sorcery fantasy then anything else.
Enough about me, this here thread is for everyone to introduce themselves and for others to get to know them a little more. So like I said, hello and welcome. =]

Name: Hiko, Heeks, "HEY YOU!" Age: 25 Gender: Female
Hello, my name is Hiko, and I lurk forums. (Crowd: Hello, Hiko~)
I'm a mostly-harmless ROUS (That's Reader of Unusual Silliness, not to be confused with those dreadful rodents in The Princess Bride), who tends to flock to whatever new forum strikes my fancy.
My writing style is hardly collegian, as I tend to throw out more hyphens than any professor would prefer - but please, don't hold it against me. I tend to prefer characters that aren't quite the desired stock; a broken machine here, an ugly lowborn there, perhaps even a mage that can't touch her own mana pool or a Hears-All-Dragons that can't read a full word from another dragon. I try my best to make bad situations worse for my characters, and I usually love every minute of it. And now, LISTS!
Favorite Music: Kate Covington, Michelle Dockrey, Abney Park, and Beats Antique
I don't listen to a lot of new music, outside of when someone shoves something at me in a spazzy moment - but that's not to say I don't like new things. I just don't venture out of what I already have on my laptop, all that often.
Favorite Books: I read a lot of high fantasy. Typically, I'm not often without a copy of something from A Song of Ice and Fire, from George R.R. Martin, and I'm a little ashamed to say that even after a year of downtime, I'm still a walking Pern encyclopaedia, thanks to multiple years of reading Anne McCaffrey (and, I'll be honest - I still get choked up remembering that the old girl died earlier in November of last year).
Right, a list. Jim Butcher, Shannon Hale, Victoria Hanley, Lian Hearn, Stephen King, Gregory Maguire, George R.R. Martin, and Anne McCaffrey
There are more that I still need to try out, but these are the authors that have used the most space on my bookshelves.
Favorite Movies and Television Series: Ohboy.
Movies: Any and all Disney films, Clue, The Fifth Element, Galaxy Quest, Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead If you can't tell, I like a little comedy with my scifi.
Television: Battlestar Galactica (2004 series), Being Human (UK), Camelot, Doctor Who, Dollhouse, Firefly, Game of Thrones, Glee, House M.D., Once Upon a Time
Favorite Games: My entire gaming existence ended when I discovered Dragon Age: Origins.
Seriously. I love that game.
Anyway: Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age: Awakening, Dragon Age II, Final Fantasy (I-VI, IX, X, XII), Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, Pokemon SoulSilver, Shadow of Destiny, and EVERY TOWER DEFENSE GAME EVER (I may be a little addicted to the TD games on Kongregate.)
Roleplay Experience: Ahem. THIRTEEN YEARS OF MOTHERFRACKING PERN (And I'm still writing with roughly the same people.) Through Pern, I've played everything from drudges to Lords of the Hold, and the knowledge that my own Weyr's been running around for ten years this May both gives me great pride and a horrible feeling that I've wasted a decade of my life.
Final Fantasy: Maria (II), Faris (V), Celes (VI), Terra (VI) Kingdom Hearts: Namine Naruto: OCs
... There are more RPs, but I can't recall all of them. D: /sad

Hey everyone! My name is Kyra, I'm 20 years old and super duper close to 21! I'm a pretty chill and laid back type of person, one that tends to stalk the boards all day when super bored just waiting to post ^-^ (when the computer works of course!) I'm a college student working towards a business management degree!!! Anyways this is my first board back into RPing. I took a few months off after some deaths that seemed to affect me a lot...so I'm a bit rusty so please hang on!!! I seem to bump into Zen a lot though!!! Good to be RPing with you again!!!
