A Proper and Overdue Introduction.

[Raindrop Valkyrie]

Just wanted to say hi! I am new here so thought I would say hi or something lol. The game looks promising so I am going to try it out at some point, until then i guess I might hang around the forums or something lol.

Well... that was all I had to say when I first joined. I'll be honest... I never thought I'd be here more than maybe a few months. So, I kinda didn't really try on my introduction thread. I didn't think anyone would really give a damn about someone who was around for maybe a few months and then just vanished. Well... two years later ((and a few months)) I'm sat here typing this. I think it's about time I end up actually giving a proper introduction of myself and maybe give some more information about myself. I'll be honest this is a bit tough for me. I don't like talking about myself XD. I'm a boring boring dude. ((but it's more I don't like myself too much. We'll see.))

I'm Hukuna, though considering how late this revise is... you probably know that already. I've got quite the repertoire of names and things I've been called. Some know me as the RP Sensei. I also have the name Lupo di Fulmine, or the Wolf of Lightning. The story behind that name is long and not related to a place called Reborn so I'm going to allow people to wonder why I have it and it's greater meaning. Either way, there is a lot of names I won't mention here cause I've collected many over the years. It's really something I love, collecting nicknames that legitimately mean something.

Anyway, I'm more or less a fan of all things Fantasy, Dark Fantasy, Sci-fi... look gimme the fiction I'll probably like it if it's pretty good. I'm not a picky person and just sorta love anything if It can grab me lol. I'm not a big fan of TV or watching shows/movies I dunno. Movies especially not as I don't really care for the pacing. I prefer the pacing of a episode to that of one like a movie. Some of my favourites being Bones, Eureka, Firefly ((and Serenity)), Battlestar Galactica((The reboot)). There's more but we'll stop there for now.

I'm not the biggest anime guy either, but I certainly have watched some. Gurann Lagann, Kill la Kill, Cowboy Bebop, Overlord, Hitman Reborn!, just to name a few.

Books... Well I like the Dresden Files a lot, LoTR is another big series I love, I enjoy the Inheritance Cycle ((despite the fact there's a lot of criticism leveled at that series for being too similar plot-wise to Star Wars etc..., I still think it's a strong one.)). I really need to get more into the Song of Fire and Ice as well.

Now, bout me. I'm like to fancy myself an Artist of sorts. Though not of a traditional sense. Many think artists to only be those that draw or paint. However I am a writer... mostly cause I'm shiiit at those other things. I've always been good at seeing things in my mind's eye but drawing I can never get them on paper. However, I found myself better at translating it in words on a page. I paint with words rather than with a visual medium. It's an artstyle just in a different way. Now... I know this isn't a stretch to say and many consider writing to be an art, but many writer would call themselves writers rather than artists, even though we are really one in the same. We do the same things just in different ways. We create for our things to be enjoyed by people, or to tell the world something. One with words, the other with image. Either way, I aspire to maybe one day be a half decent writer. It's sorta only been a hobby to me so far. But I think there's a place for me to really kick up that part of what I do and really learn and hone my craft. I'm only really starting out in things that nature and really striving to improve. I still don't think I'm good really. However, the amount of praise I get here at times really makes me reconsider it a little. ((I still think I'm terrible.)).

Further more... writing was my outlet. It was the thing I once used to fight a terribly dark beast named depression. It's how I got into it in the first place. i fell in love with the practice and really just did it as a destressing activity. As a result, a world came into being from this. Graterras, a thing I started putting together within the throes of my depression. It was a thing I could just pour my heart into. It was my world, my thing I could control and write. I was it's creator and I could move and shift it into something wonderful. No one could tell me what I could do with it, or things of that nature. It was the shield I had against the dark I suppose. The thing I could keep from losing everything. I then shared a it of that world with the folks of this Forum in my RP and the little bit of CW works I've done on it. I'll be honest, I hope one day it could be the next Middle Earth, Westeros... etc... but I doubt it'll ever be. But it would be lovely if the thing I used to battle my depression become something like that.

I'll be honest... what's funny is I've still never played Reborn. I'm still at least now, waiting for the game to be finished I want to see it in it's full glory, what it's meant to be. So, I can wait for that even if it'll be... a long while til I get my hands on it.

I somehow not mentioned games yet but I'm a pretty large gamer. League of Legends, Awesomenauts, Hearthstone to name some multiplayer stuff I play. However, I'm normally a RPG or more single player game type person. I'm very much a person that holds onto these things as my favourite experiences. It's not that I hate multiplayer ones, I just like me a good narrative. I prefer to get lost in things and Mulitplayer ones I just never get to that level with them. Like I just love getting lost in a world for awhile. Things like Undertale ((SHOCKER!!! The guy with an Undyne Avvie likes Undertale... who'd ever guess.)), Dragon Age, various Final Fantasies, Fire Emblem, and other games that I can just get lost in a world for awhile. I'm a lore nerd okay?

Anyway that's some about me. Feel free to ask me whatever I guess. I'll answer if I feel like it. anywho Hukuna Sensei... out lol~

Late welcome to you, my friend! :]

[Tomas Elliot]

Welcome to our community, enjoy your stay. We have a wonderful CW section you might be interested in.

I am Tomas, nice to meet you!

:Kappa:

[Cobalt996]

Late... early welcome? Something like that? I won't wish you a good time, though, since I know you have had (and will still have) one! Now to go see this "terrible" writing you claim to have done, and see just how "not-actually-terrible" it is, if everyone else is right.

February 2013? Someone call the staff for necroposting! :Kappa:

I can link it if you'd like, but... more or less they are closer to the top of CW. Requiem of Ages Past and Graterras: A Dream on Another Shore. The RPs I'll let you find on your own, since those are exactly everyone's type of thing to read XD>

[Raindrop Valkyrie]

welcome to the forums, kuna! we haven't talked much in a while :C

let's remedy that, mmkay? ^^

I'd love too XD. It's just I've been busy. I'm not the best at remembering to stay in touch at times ((I do really apologize for that. I'm kinda a dumbo lol. It's why I think I'm a garbage friend at times since I don't remember to talk to people enough bleeeeeh I feel so bad about it XD.))

Hi there Hukuna! Super late welcome to Reborn person who has been here for years longer than me.

That intro was as coherent as your writing always is! While reading your posts, both creative and normal, I am always blown away by your eloquence and ability to convey a point!

From the very limited time I have spent around you, you seem like a great person so good work for that!

Enjoy your continued stay here!

Hmmm that's an interesting song. I don't think I'd pick it, but that's the beauty in it... ain't it lol? After givin' it a few listens... well I certainly do like it.

Hi o/

Hello you beautiful man you lol.~

Hello, my friend, and welcome to Reborn. Hope you enjoy your stay.

Heyo Inno... stop killing me in XCOM Plox. ((kidding love ya dude ))

HUKUNA!!! nice reintroduction! inb4 we have a wave in reintroduction's soon~ anyways, why are you the RP master you are now?

Sheer stupid luck. At least if you mean how I ended up modding the sub-forum. I was just that one passionate fella who was there at the right time. People knew I was pretty passionate about it and well, seeing as they needed someone to step up and take the reigns They thought I was a good choice. ((somehow.)). I remember Ame contacting me, and the subject line was something along the lines of "Meow"... so I was like " What on earth is this for?" like I was honestly flabbergasted and it took me awhile to click the message. ((me being me assumed it was bad... cause I can never think there'd be a good reason to go out of one's way to contact me... look I'm learning to not think I'm that horrible k? K.)) But yea apparently the Auth at the time felt I was a good choice and they approached me about doing it. Normally, I'd never accept a position. I'm not a mod type. It's not really something I care about or for. Power isn't something I like to have. ((people might notice that I'm very against using commands when I'm on the server, this is why XD. Even if it's like jsut starting a tour and the minor things a Driver can do.)) But, I felt like the place needed me. It needed someone to helm it's growth. I figured... if they believed in me that I should give it a good ol' swing.

In reads to just general stuff, it's just a lot of playing them. RPing, is actually pretty easy once you get into the swing of things. It's just writing. Hell, I find it easier since it's writing but a single character who must interact with the world. I do prefer hosting, as it's basically being one who writes a novel and then let's the players right with them. I love that interaction. Being a storyteller who has to dance around the agents of chaos. Because players are basically chaos incarnate, you never know what they'll do. Either way, I've always loved RPGs, Video Game, Tabletop etc... so my background in them is pretty large. They are my hobby, my passion. I personally don't consider myself a master. Even I am but a humble student with much to learn.

Looooooooooool if you want to be stuck with me have fun XD. I'm a pain in the arse XD. But I'm not adverse to new folks. You'll jsut gotta give me time to adjust. I'm shy okay? ((despite how much I seem otherwise.))

Teeeeeell me about it. The plight of a writer. Thinking we're totally garbage period XD.

Annnnnnnnnnd nice. Feel free to pm me about it ((especially the RP stuff if that's what you read. Can't really comment on it anymore sicne the threads are locked.)) If it's Dream on ANother shore though Leeeeeeave me some feedback in the THread. ((or jsut pm me, Skype message me whatever way you want to get into contact.)) I'd love to hear your thoughts. I always love to hear what people think aobut the things I wrote, the characters the places etc... it's fascinating to me.

Only a couple of years. I'm no grandpa yet XD. ANd I get that a lot. I don't really know how eloquent I actually am to be honest, but people tend to like to use that word to describe me. IRL I'd be anything but looooooooooool. Mostly cause I'm a moooooving nerves machine and socially awkward as hell. Also Creative... means you've read some of Requiem or Dream then? Curious to know what you thought if ti's the case lol.

And yea, Mde you're not one I'm entirely well acquainted with, but you definitely seem like a swell fella if I do say so myself. You're definitely okay in my book~

What I feel like I'm supposed to write:

The white wooled beast crept closer and closer to the luscious green delicacy ever so hungry to eat this delicacy. Slowly one leg after another he found the perfect batch for his ever growing pains. He gracefully lowered his head as darkened lips plucked his meal from mother earth. Finally, he had achieved his Nirvana.

What I actually write:

The sheep made its away across the prairie to enjoy some nice greens before the farmer would call him back.

(I know I probably butchered the first part horrendously...yes, the rust does show from time to time)

Yeah, I still do consider myself an amateurish writer though it does seem like I'm getting better. But I do consider writing an art, but I prefer thinking of it as an art for the mind just like Music is mostly an art for the ears. Anyways, this introduction kind of made me realize I never actually made an introduction like ever as I to never though I'd end up a part of this community.

[Aishi]

Oh, hey! Very nice to meet you.

I rarely see you around the forums (aside from the rp section ofc) but I do see you on statuses!

And yeah, you seem really neat!

We should talk more, on the server or whatever.

Either way, hope you continue to enjoy your stay here! ^^

Keep in mind that I'm a proprietor and firm believer in simplicity and only going on about a message if need be. If it's of utmost importance to describe that sheep eating that grass, yea I don't see an issue with getting that detailed, I also don't see one with the second if something else would be time better spent. Part of writing is knowing where to focus your attention, where casting your magnifying glass matters. Pointless detail is just that, fluff. It's making the utmost use of the space you have, and making each word count. Squeezing a good amount of efficiency out of them.

If I was more of a server goer, I'd love to, sadly It's not a place I can be too much without getting very uncomfortable lol. It's not your guy's fault, as I said I'm just very shy and large groups of folks talking all at once really quickly just makes me super nervous lol. I don't better in somewhat controlled atmospheres. That's why you won't see me on a whooooole heck of a lot. I really would enjoy a chat though XD. I dunno, now more than ever I really find I like meeting ((as much as one can over the interwebz.)) and talking to new people. I used to not be a huge fan, but Reborn has just so many interesting folks and ones that I truly enjoy talking to. I wouldn't be honest if I said that I didn't hate interacting with people. I really don't cause I'm socially awkward as heck at times, but Reborn and the people here really make me want to try I suppose lol. There's a lot of cool ones. You seem alright in my book, so I'd definitely be willing to give it a shot. Just know I'm a pain in the arse XD. ((if a certain flower were here I'd have been clobbered with a newspaper by now, with the amount of times I've said stuff like that in this thread XD))

[Kurotsune]

I'll be hoping I can count on your poetic understanding for this.

[Raindrop Valkyrie]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, I'd probably understand if I wasn't too busy rocking ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut. ((seriously... that's my favourite Blind Guardian Song XD.))

[Aurorix]

Ahem, :Kappa:
