Hey,

I'm Solaris, feel free to shorten that in whatever way your heart desires. I haven't made an introduction thread in three years and then another three years before that, so this might be a proper mess. Out of
practise and all that. I'm a 20-something living on the west side of America. I have a cat I adore too much and I wish I had a dog. I like art a lot and have recently been focusing a lot of my effort into that. Alas, perfectionism means I'm rarely satisfied enough with anything I make to share it. Other funtime hobbies include writing, gaming, and gardening. I like fancy card decks and my current fan interests of the moment are Netflix's Castlevania and a returned love of Dishonored.

And roleplaying. I've been roleplaying nearly all of my life and forum rping for just shy of a decade. I love worldbuilding and like to do so both solo and collaboratively. However, the heart of RP for me is definitely in the characters and their development. I have a penchant for morally grey or conflicted characters, but it's rare for me to find archetypes I outright don't like. Similarly, I'm fond of a great many genres and themes, however, fantasy will always have a piece of my heart that the others don't. Childhood dreams and all that. I enjoy both groups and 1x1s and would love to get back into GMing.

Cheers!
 
Welcome to Umbra!

I hope you continue your love of roleplaying here.

Kitties are also amazing! Just as good as dogs in my opinion, but I am just an animal lover in general.

I hope you find what you are looking for and enjoy your time here!

See you around!
 
Your intro thread was amazing, don't worry! I definitely feel we have a few things in common we could gush over (I also have a cat that I love way too much and wish I had a dog).

Character development is ABSOLUTELY my thing about roleplaying. Seeing these little sparks of life just evolve as we write is so intensely satisfying. I hope you get to experience a ton of that here!
 
An experienced man who appreciates good character development? *swoons* Can I get you a drink? Or maybe a sandwich or something?

Inner self: Lo! You're acting like a thirsty bitch again!

What? No! I mean... welcome to the site. There are snacks in the lobby or something. Hope you have a great time.
 
Baman! I'll let you pet my kitty any time. Appartments will not halt the feline affection.
 
Thank you all for the lovely welcomes!

Dog people like dogs, cat people like cats and dogs. Regardless, both are always welcome to umbra~!
I am a fan of both cats and dogs - but I haven't had a dog since I was a child and I find myself missing their specific breed of companionship as of late.

I have neither of these (damn apartments!) so I can only stuff my feelings with more and more characters, ಠ_ಠ
I'm always happy to spam you pictures of my cat, if you desire.

Thank you! I am glad it is up to modern standards. I adore gushing over shared topics and you can always toss me a message if you desire to do so.

Right? I've recently had a roleplay progress far enough that most of the characters have developed naturally and it is absolutely wonderful. Especially a particular man of mine who has had the fortune to transform from an asshole into slightly less of an asshole. Have you had a favourite experience with CD recently?

I'll take straight rum any day. Sandwiches, however, I am particular about.

Thanks for the welcome, Lo. My inbox is always open if you'd like to chat, or perhaps plot something out, if our interests align.
 
Do I understand that you enjoy deckbuilding games? If so, which one(s)?

Also, welcome? Welcome.
