Well, lets see. I was already addicted to roleplays of any kinds, but to me, it seemed that play-by-post roleplays gives out the best....what's the word..? In depth storyline? The environment being set..? Ah yes, it was due to character development! The character development was the best part about forum roleplays, and where you can also put yourself in your character's shoes, and almost feel the environment around you.
I spent many years on the Minecraft Forum Roleplay Section(don't laugh, it was the first one I was inducted into QQ), where the threads are governed by the person who crated the thread. However, what I liked about Mizahar compared to the MC Rps, was where the character is continued through several stories, or arcs, if you will. On the MC forums, once the thread is finished, you throw away your character, and make a new one for a new thread. Some of those threads were actually similar to maybe the game of Risk, since your not playing as a character, but and entire nation, with perhaps a few significant individuals.
When I felt that I wanted my characters to last longer than a single thread, and for them to be developed further, I just Googled 'forum roleplay site'. No seriously, I just googled it. I tried a few sites, one which was more of a fanfiction type of site, and another was a...actually, lets ignore that one for now. When I found the world of Mizahar, I was like, "MUGUMUGUMUGU?!?!", while waving my arms in pinwheels all around me. It took forum roleplays, more serious roleplays, and even the better in depth character development that I always wanted! The only sad part I had, when parting with my old roleplays, was killing off the twins. Yes, I always role played as twins . I shall not forget their sacrifice, in getting me into Mizahar!
