Forums » Introductions » Howdy from Canada!

Hello!

I'm Quixotica (but you're welcome to call me Quix), a 30-year-old woman from the Canadian Prairies with roughly 16 years of roleplaying experience (give or take).

I prefer character-driven, narrative storytelling and my genres of choice are most things that fall under the umbrella of speculative fiction (although I tend to gravitate towards supernatural or folk horror more often than not).

I stick to 1x1 roleplays exclusively because I'm a hermit both in my real life and online who is easily exhausted with the pace of groups (especially OOC).

How about an icebreaker to cap this off?

If you aren't Canadian: What's the first thing you think of when you think of Canada?

If you are Canadian: What's your favourite "Canadian" food? Mine is a toss-up between split pea soup and poutine – it just depends on if I'm sober or not.
Hello Quix, welcome to RPR.

Chocolate covered blueberries when they are in season or almost anything with maple syrup. :)

Ooh, good choices! Is it bad that I consume maple syrup almost every day (in my breakfast cereal) and yet I completely forgot about it when thinking of "Canadian" foods? Whoops!

Thanks for the welcome!
Hello, welcome to RPR! I hope you have a wonderful time here.
I've heard Caramilk chocolate is only in Canada. If that's true, then it's my favourite Canadian food. If it's not true, then... I don't know.

Hello and thank you!

You're correct, Caramilk is exclusively made in a factory in Toronto (although the parent company, Cadbury, is British) and I agree that it is delicious!

No, I don't think it's bad at all. :)
Welcome! I agree to the 1on1 RPs, I tried out groups RPs long long time ago and it was overwhelming. No no!

Oh uhm... not canadian but when I think of Canada the first thing that comes to my mind is my art mentor haha! And second is Celine Dion 👀
Welcome to RPR, we hope you enjoy your time here and find the rps and people you are looking for!

Not Canadian: Personally, I've always been told about how amazing the maple syrup is over there, I think everyone is told that lol, but I've always wanted to try it out!

The first thing that came to mind was Tim Horton's donuts. Also Poutine and the Hudson Bay Company. Only been in British Columbia, mainly Victoria and Vancouver a few times, with a visit to Whistler to snowboard with friends some years back.

The stories are true, it's the best! So good, in fact, that we even have secret stores of it for emergency scenarios, haha.

To answer your question... I'd have to say Nanaimo Bars are probably my favourite. Delicious!
