... I'm a man of wealth and taste.

(I am not in fact a man of wealth and taste. But it is a catchy line.)

So derp, never posted an introduction thread. I figure that's as good a way as any to find some RP. Particularly seeking RP on Erik at the moment -- so if you're interested in Victorian RP, drop me a line.

I've been on Furcadia since 2001, though I do occasionally RP elsewhere and am in fact trying to see if I can set up an Animorphs-setting tabletop game locally. I like instant RP (Furcadia) because I feel things move more naturally when done with single paragraphs rather than excessively long, novel-y posts... plus a round on Furcadia takes about fifteen minutes, rather than the week (or weeks!) a round can take on a forum!

I have a few various modes of RP; I often enjoy more short-form RP. This doesn't mean I like illiterate RP; this means I enjoy RP in which no insight is given to the thoughts, flashbacks or feelings of the characters further than what the other characters would see -- facial expressions and body language, dialogue, visuals. Nothing else. This isn't required, of course, but it's something I have fun with and makes it easier for misunderstandings to happen and for characters to make errors of judgement -- no matter how much people say they don't let their character be affected by OOC knowledge, I've noticed people react very differently when I don't let them into my characters' heads.

I also really enjoy making art related to my RPs; all my character art is my own.

Welcome to RPR, oh man of wealth and taste man whose name I cannot pronounce!

... Sort of! *eyes months old activity* XD

Glad to have you mingling with the rest of us down here in the forum forest. :3 Did you know that you can emulate the Furcadia 'real time' posting on the forums, too? Every single topic can be posted in through a live chat feature. If you look at the top of this thread, there's a "Launch Chat" button that opens this topic in a new chat window. :3

Mein gott! Genius! No, I hadn't realized, but thanks for letting me know; now I can have instant RP with people who have too much (or too little?) self-respect to download Furcadia.

Do I spy a German speaker or someone who picked up random German phrases?! :O

Just random phrases from the internet and my parents (who would speak German to eachother occasionally as a code). I'm also known to lapse into crappy French.

Random phrases are acceptable. XD Are your parents German then? (if I'm going too much off topic for you here just let me know :) )

How can you be offtopic, it's an into thread... no, my dad was an army brat when his dad was posted in Germany post WWII and brought his family there, so he grew up speaking it, and my mom learned German partially in school and partially from him.
Hey there! Welcome to the site, great song to introduce yourself with! I see Sanne already told you about that amazing launch chat feature :)

I know just what you mean about not wanting to influence the rp by ooc information, it's why a lot of my profiles are short and simple. Hope you have loads of fun here :D
