Hello Everyone!
My name is Alexandre, but you can simply call me Alex, Lex, X or Silver if you so choose. Actually, I'd prefer the shortened version since seeing my French name in an English sentence seems odd to me.
I have just joined and - as I am typing this - I am reading through the site's BBcode Guide. I am thus going to try and use a couple of them over the course of this here introduction in an effort to inform those here about who I am as a role-player and a person. If you're interested, that's awesome, but I'm just writing it for fun so I won't be offended if you just wish me a quick "welcome aboard" and move on to the next newbie's thread. Without further a due, here it goes!
I think that's everything...
...oh! RIGHT!
P.S.: Sorry for taking your time (' :| )

Q A Years of Experience 14 First Simple RP 14 years ago First Casual RP 14 years ago First Detailed RP 10 years ago First Online RP 11 years ago First Tabletop RP 14 years ago Favorite Tabletop RP Killing Puppies for Satan Favorite RP types Fantasy & Modern Disliked RP types Fandom (with few exceptions), Medieval (with no fantasy elements) RP-unrelated writing EXP Published 2 children's books in French, a WIP english fantasy novel. Interested in Trying out new original RPs and mechanics, meeting new RPers, group and 1x1 RPs Uninterested in Being forced into new fandoms, RPing offsite, letting RP overtake my real life. Favorite RP level None, Simple, Casual and Detailed RP are all to my taste Sweet Tooth Intense RP fights handled fairly either through mechanics or judges, zombie-themed RPs. Pet Peeves Watching others force the RP into a direction despite other's opinions, auto-hitting/killing and power-playing, illegible posts (more than 1 mistake [spelling or grammar] per sentence, I draw the line there), and people who don't understand that IRL must come first. Expected Activity Will be on at least 5/7 days a week for a minimum of 30 minutes unless IRL matters prevent it.
I tend to lean towards a certain comfort zone of characters when possible. Don't get me wrong; I am at ease with and love to play other types of characters. That said, I have a natural, self-observed tendency to lean towards certain characters. This is thus the type of character I am most "at ease" with, not the type of character I always play no matter what. If I feel there are enough of this type of character in the current RP or they simply do not fit for whatever reason, I will not use this type of character. But otherwise, I very likely will.
Q A Gender Male Physical Age Young Adult Alignment Chaotic (May be Good, Neutral or Evil depending on present mood and perceived need of the RP). Archetype Sometimes Anti-Hero, sometimes Card Carrying Villain, always Manipulator Personality (tl;dr version) Laid-back and Introspective yet socially comfortable. Pragmatic in that he is not above - and generally enjoys - manipulating others to get his way, but avoids outright cruelty if reasonable. His biggest character strengths are his ability to plan ahead and improvise with equal efficiency and his freewheeling nature. His biggest character flaws are his self-assurance and his lack of empathy. Regardless of other, varying features in his other personality traits, lifestyle or personal preferences, he is a casual smoker. Appearance (tl;dr version) Caucasian, tall, broad-shouldered with dark hair. Other traits vary.
This is just me trying out other BBcodes for the sake of doing so but I'll add in some random things about myself so you can gauge the kind of individual I am. Enjoy!
FriendmeHey man, how's it going? You can be honest with me.themI am constantly a little bit worried that everything I know is a lie and that if I don't filter 90% of my thoughts people will think I'm insane.me...let's dial that honesty back a bit.
I honestly just am checking out the difference between dice and dice10 here, don't mind me.
Oh so that's what it is...
This tab is getting long so I'm making a second "Random Stuff" tab. It'll just be me messing with different types of blocks so no need to bother reading it.
Reading all these tabs
This is just a follow-up of the previous tab. It'll probably be boring as there won't be much info actually about me here, but feel free to check it out if you're bored or what not.
I actually did not think you would bother reading this bit. Understandably, I was a bit surprised when you did.
It's not going to get any more normal from here on out.
Alex actually suffers from schizophrenia, but is medicated and perfectly stable of mind when he does not mix said medication with alcohol, something his university student lifestyle unfortunately pushes him to do at times. Thankfully, as of yet, this has had no negative impact on his social life, but he is nonetheless known for being a "rather unusual drunk".
How many more types of blocks are there? (The answer is 4)
You have run into THE SIXTH BLOCK! You must read through it to go on! Thankfully, this sentence is relatively short.
You look around and realize that the room you are sitting in is a bit dusty. Perhaps you should take care of that tomorrow.
(} ) THE DEVIL EMOTE IS HERE!
With 5 HP and all other stats in the 2-3 area, it is not very impressive...
...kinda neat though, isn't it?
Maybe you could keep it as a pet or something...
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE READ THE LAST BLOCK! YOU HAVE EARNED:
A brief, passing but nonetheless present sense of achievement!
I think that's everything...
TO DO LIST
