A (Not So) Brief Greeting to Mizahar

[Ecton]

I could say something about the web of fate bringing us together, in which I could showcase my style and creativity, but that would be too silly. Instead, I shall merely be candid.

Mizahar is new for me. Not the whole roleplaying aspect, per se, but it is new in that it has a set world with story and depth. Most places I have seen, the person constructs a world of their own, and others act in it. Here, there is an established world, though ever-changing, for me to interact with. The character system is also different, and I like the idea.

Perhaps what drew me here, really, was the need for a creative outlet. Mizahar seems, to me, to be a conducive environment for me to utilize the creative energies that are roiling inside my brain, so to speak.

I find the world within the mind to be more enriching than the one outside of it, but there are limitations. Within the mind, unless one has a mental issue, one essentially is king. In one's imagination, their will is reality. This causes the conceived scenarios to lack something crucial: Unpredictability. Control is something we all need, but too much control makes something boring. Engaging in these mental activities with others, in an environment such as this, has the unpredictability that one's own mind cannot give. I know myself, and I can think to myself exactly how something will happen. However, this is not as stimulating as something such as this, which also requires mental agility and flexibility, as things do not always turn out as one had intended. This is why I entered Mizahar. That crucial element.

My plans for roleplaying are semi-mercurial. I have a character rather well-established in my mind, but just how I will execute him is not known. The real question, instead of 'Who to Be', is 'Where to Be' and 'With Whom to Be'. This is the question that I must answer now.

I thank you for reading this, and do hope for intriguing, stimulating roleplay.

Welcome to Mizahar!

Again, I think. I think we chatted a bit in chat, but I thought I'd give you an official welcome. I hope you find what you're looking for here, there sure are a lot of great writers that should fit the bill!

Welcome, Ecton! I think I've seen you in the chat, too, but I'm making my rounds here, so hello! In case you haven't seen them yet, here:

Well, first thing you should check out is:
--- The Starting Guide
--- Rules (highlights include: 1 character per account, 5 accounts allowed, and your characters cannot interact with each other in any way or form, or benefit from each other.)
--- Terms of Use
--- Creative Manifesto (This is super important! We're all about originality and not doing the same old cliches over and over and over and... well you get the idea.)

Followed by these links:
--- Starting Package (very important, it gives you your initial set of skill points and gear)
--- Races (There are 20 totally original races here, so simply playing to a racial norm means your character will be unique!)
--- Skill List (keep in mind that most of these are not fully developed, and some skills are not listed)
--- Magic List (magic is cool, but it does have its consequences-- don't ignore them)

You should post your character in a thread here. It's okay to post it even if it's a Work-In-Progress (WIP):
--- Character Sheet Forum

Here's some information on where you can start. It's important to research the lores on the cities before starting there, too:
--- Where to Start Out
--- City List (there's a very useful summary at the bottom of the page. Colombina is awesome!)

Lastly, some other important links. Feel free to ask for help if you don't understand, but with practice, you'll pick them up like a second nature.
--- Timestamping (this is a mandatory thing to learn)
--- Calendar
--- Experience Points (you get these after a Storyteller grades your thread. Think of each thread as a mini adventure in your character's life in the world of Mizahar)

Look forward to RPing with you sometime. =)
