An odd name, and an odd individual.

Red is the color of love. Beating hearts and hungry lips. Roses, Valentines, cherries. Red is the color of shame. Crimson cheeks and spilled blood. Broken hearts, opened veins. A burning desire to return to white."
― Mary Hogan

I have been this way for as long as I can remember.
To write, ramble, spill, and bleed upon blank pages is not a want or desire for me, but rather it becomes such a need that my own teeth set themselves against each other. While others simply see story, fetish, or escapism in their works, for me it is the closest that two can ever get to being a deity. We take from each other the pigments of words, and dip our fine brushes into the charcoal outlines of intentions. We dabble and draw into existence lives, life, and purpose into a void of nothing more then the reflection of our screens.

Some would call us writers.
Some would dismiss it by merely calling it roleplay.
Some would even look down on us.

Though that isn't the shape of it is it?
We plant seeds into the damp earth.
We watch as vines, towering oaks, and blossoms spread.

We are gardeners of a thousand dreams.
We are tenders of countless outstretched limbs that reach for the sky.

We are the ones who plant forests.
Mine simply happen to bloom in a thousand variations of red.​

Basics
Genre of stories - Any that leave phantoms lingering on my fingertips as I write them.
Style - 1000+ words, long winded, wordy, and dramatic.
Interests - Music, art, words, and Path of Exile.
Dislikes - Rude people, demands, and hatred.

As always my fellow explorers,
my name is Red, and now...
Now, it is time to begin.​

Second! I bet you're wondering how to start Role Playing and where to go! I think it's pretty fun to explore the forums, and I highly recommend doing so! Most thread homes, if not all, have a pinned post at the top of them to tell you what goes there! However, the Request Threads are pretty self explanatory; Here's a Link! There's plenty to look through, but you could also build your very own! Tell people what you're all about and get those writing partners! Take your time though; there's never any pressure! If you were looking for an open story you can just jump in straight away, you can find them in Unfinished Tales!​

Next, I just want to share some of the other wonderful places in Sanctum! There's plenty to do while waiting on replies or to give yourself a break every now and then! The first shout out goes to The Sanctum Tavern! Here you can find many a thing! By the Hearth can be found there and has many wonderful discussions; my personal favorite is where everyone talks up their writing partners! Want to see some cute pets or share your own? Pets of the Sanctum is where to go! Feeling up for a challenge? Check out the Monthly Writing Challenge and give it a whirl! And, there's so so so~ much more! Please take the time to explore!​

I think that's everything... Oh! I'm Mio, by the way! Just a friendly changeling and hydration bot! You can find me and several others in Sanctum's Chat Room! If you have any questions, you can always pop in there for help! I will say though, the best people to ask are staff! Green Names are Heralds, which are the best to ask questions! Blue Names are Moderators and Purple Names are the Administrators, which help with tech support and discipline! You can find out which are online via the home page! On PC it'll be to the right of the screen, and on mobile it'll be near the bottom!
Now, get out there and write! May your muses sing for you!​

Welcome to Inner Sanctum, friend!

 

[Jumbled]

Such pretty words, and normally I'm not so fond of the color red...
Welcome in and see you around. ^^

 

[Lore N. Fables]

Far more pretty and eloquent words have been made,
but a welcome to this place, all the same.
I know those words, or how they are written,
Keep them going as such and the Santum'll be smitten.
Go, create, wonder, explore,
There are so many sights to see, just open the door,
Be well, be merry, and spread the joy,
This is the interwebs, the grow'd ups toy,
I didn't mean to rhyme, it just came out,
Regardless, I hope to see you about.

(truly, the poem was not intended. Just a bonus of saying "Welcome" I s'pose.)

 

[Nyx]

Many welcomes.
As someone for whom writing is more a compulsion than a hobby. I hear you.

Good fortune on your adventure friend.

Nyx
