Hello, all. My name's Kyle, though I'll probably be going by Esra for the duration of my stay.

I'm new to all of this -- RP, I mean, and now that I think about it, writing in any serious capacity. Reading, on the other hand has always been something I loved. Both fiction and non-fiction hold my interest, though the priority tends to bounce back and forth with my mood.

I found Mizahar when I thought I'd try my hand at this whole writing thing. Wasn't hard, just took a couple google searches.

I think the sequence went something like:
Learn writing, fiction
Beginner Role play
Fantasy RP
Bam, Mizahar!

So far my favorite thing about Mizahar is how much it has to offer. There're plenty of people with plenty of talent, and plenty of tools available to build a character and their story from the ground up. There's a lot that you can do, and just enough of a guideline to make it accessible without feeling limiting.

If anything has frustrated me with Mizahar, it's how distant I feel from everyone else right now. I feel like there's a huge gap between where I am and everyone who has an established character in the world.

I'd like to be in a place where I can learn to write, preferably in a setting where much of the world is built, maybe try my hand at helping to develop something new, and ultimately branch off and do my own thing.

Right now I don't have enough experience to say what I would like expanded. But that's one of the things I love about the site, if something needs expanded, it seems I can work with people to get it done.

Anything else I want to talk about? Yes.

The thread is named what it is for a reason. If anyone is willing to show me the ins and outs of the site a step at a time, it would be much appreciated. I know it's probably a lot of work, though, so if no one is willing, I'd understand. Either way, would love to chat to people, PM me if you have a sec, it'd be cool to get to know a few people as I get started. :P

Hey! First and foremost check out your welcome PM! It has lots of useful information for people new to Mizahar and new to RP in general. Read it all, get to know the site, jump in chat and talk. We don't bite :P

I would not mind giving you a hand in getting started at all :). We all start somewhere, and this is just your very first step to greatness. I was just like you not long ago at all. I had never RPed but I loved to read, and really writing is just like telling a story yourself. After all SOMEONE had to write your favorite books, and if they can do it so can you :D.

Feel Free to send me a PM or jump in chat and ask questions. We will help you along the way :)

Sincerely,
Evalin

It can come as a prickle of the hair on the back of the neck, a sense of 'wrongness' about her. How people experience it is different depending on their personality and how they handle the unnatural and unknown. Animals tend to become more agitated, more easily sensing how wrong Evalin is and often avoiding contact with her.

Hello!

I think any of us would be willing to help you through getting started here. The best way to pick someone willing to help is to decide what kind of PC you want to play. You don't even have to be specific based on our world, but knowing the qualities you want in the PC would be very helpful. If you can narrow that down then the person you want to lead you through things will be easier to select.

If you would be interested in playing a healer, warrior, dreamwalker, reimancer, work with horses or dogs, and mine the past for information lost pre valterrian, then I know my group at The Sanctuary in Riverfall would be ready and willing to help you in a startup. We're hiring all sorts (even a cook!) and we would be delighted to have someone as well spoken as you come play with us. As a bonus we always have a lot going on so there's plenty of threads to do and folks to play with.

  • This pc has a Konti Gift of Animal Empathy. She has a superpower from a Riverfall city event that allows animals of all sorts and Kelvics (in kelvic form) to speak clear understandable Common around her.
  • Kavala is a Konti but was raised in the Drykas culture so her accent is entirely Pavi though she can speak Common, Pavi, and Tukant well. She's only conversational in Kontinese.

Haha I couldn't have said it better than that. In that case if you are looking to have a character who is dastardly, conniving, treacherous, manipulating and down right Evil then I am here to help!

Jump in chat sometime and get to know some of the other players and see what kind of characters they made as well. There are all kinds of characters out there. The possibilities are endless :)

Thanks, both of you, I appreciate it.

Truth be told, I'm not entirely sure what I want my character to be yet. I have ideas, but nothing's set in stone.

I'll jump in chat, for sure, it sounds interesting. :P
