1. Name - or what you'd like to be called!
Call me Ash, Ashley or Sava. Hey you works just as good too but isn't as polite ;)
2. What sort of RP experience do you have if any?
I have a few good years. Some chat, some RP, some murder-mystery-dinners, and the one time failed LARP. It all equals to ten-ish years on and off.
3. How did you find us?
I've actually been here before, didn't even make it to sign up before I gave up. That being said I can't remember how I found you guys, probably the all powerful Google.
4. What sort of RP style is your favorite?
Depends on the RP. In a general sense I like adventure/fantasy/mystery, not necessarily in that order.
5. What do you like to write about - not write about?
That's simple enough. I enjoy writing romance & action, they can go in almost any scene as short or as long as needed. I don't care for writing sexual scenes, I get awkward and the writing feels too forced so I prefer to just not write it.
6. Whats your favorite thing about Mizahar so far?
The layout of the website. It's very organized and unlike many it doesn't look like an RP forum. Most forums are look OOC except for the posting part, this one feels much more…real? I don't know how to say it. I just like it. There are other things I like but this is what brought me back, the organization of it all.
7. What, if anything, has frustrated you about Mizahar so far?
The lore. While I love to read it seems like everything makes me click to read more, then another click, then another until I feel like I'm being click-baited DX. I feel like I'll never be ready to play! At the same time it's enjoyable to read, a half-built world that I can sneak into.
8. What would you like out of the mizahar experience?
I couldn't say. Maybe writing experience? A distraction from boredom? A new RP experience? A chance to interact with a large base of writers? It could be any of these things or none of them, it really is hard to say because I hadn't given it much thought. I just like to RP.
9. Is there anything you'd like to see expanded?
That would be a no. I can barely get through what's here, let alone imagine expanding it! Not saying growth isn't a good thing but not on my current to-do-list.
10. Anything else you want to talk about?
Time is an important thing for anyone on an RP site or so I've found, so I'll be honest in saying I have one or two days a week to of solid time to spare. When I'm not doing something with my dog/reptiles, working or driving I tend to be sleeping or crocheting things for my not-a-business-business but in-between then I hope to be floundering happily here.

Welcome to Mizahar! If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask them here or in the chat.

I understand how the lore can be a bit much, it takes a bit but it's pretty simple enough to learn. You figure out what's important and what's frivolous as you go along, or at least I did. Where do you think you'll be starting out? I see you've picked a Zith. They're my favorite race, though I've never played one. Maybe I'll make one up, sometime, I dunno just thinking out loud. :) Have fun! Try not to get too swamped now!

The lore does get kind of frustrating at times. Don't try to absorb it all at once, you'll get confused like that. Just make sure to check back with the lore frequently and before you know it you'll have the hang of it :3

I look forwards to threading with you in our fine, zombie infested city.

Saej: I've learned to skip things that aren't immediately necessary for me know and bookmark them for later reading! Helps a lot! I happened to see Zith on the front page and even after glancing over the other races they just seemed to really pop for me, if you ever do make one maybe they'll even interact ;) Alvadas is where I've landed her for now, NPC Zith are there, so she fits right in.

Yisanareysin: As long as I'm not clicking too much, bookmarking and favoriting lore has been the easiest way! Me too, looks to be interesting thread and some action with the city :D

Thank you both for the warm welcomes!

Hi Sava! Welcome!

I know I'm a little behind on this but I wanted to drop a line and say Hello. I completely understand that the Lore can feel a little overwhelming and you're right; If there are things that might seem interesting but might not pertain to your character at this point book marking and reading when you need it is the best way. When I first started it seemed kind of scary and intimidating. There are still a lot of things that I don't know but you learn as you go. That's what makes writing here even better because you can be here for years and still learn something new!

If you have any questions Chat is can be a great place to stop and get them answered, there are always people there who are willing to help.

Do you know where your character is going to be located? Perhaps if our character are in the same area we can get them together!

Happy writing! Look forward to seeing you around :)
