Jester Hello, hi, g'day...

[Deontic]

Well, well, well... Looks like we have another sweet introduction post. I never know what to say in these things. So uh... Strap in. Or not. Up to you. I'm not your dad... :)

I guess I'll start by covering some of the wave tops about me as a person. I'm a dude (technical term) from Australia (fake place... tracking). I spent over a decade in the Army, deployed a few times and travelled a bit. I have an incredibly diverse set of interests, I cannot explain why... I obviously love writing and roleplaying–I wouldn't be here if I didn't. I have a deep interest in history, geo-politics and technology. I play video games and I get unreasonably emotionally attached to the outcome of a few major sporting events every year.

I am a mature (21+) and experienced roleplayer. I have been writing stories and actively roleplaying characters for over 10 years (I know), but I have mostly done so on the hit MMORPG World of Warcraft. I have so many characters in and around that setting, but honestly a lot of them are transferable if I need to re-use or re-imagine them. I am keen to explore other settings like modern (with some fantasy / supernatural stuff), Cyberpunk and gritty Sci-fi like Mothership, Serenity or Star Wars but strictly with the Rogue One and Andor vibe. I love dark fantasy settings, and I am super into Witch/Occult horror themes...

I am obsessed with Joe Abercrombie's world and characters in The First Law and Age of Madness series (and every book in between). I shamelessly steal phrases from the characters there, and I love how magic works in this world. Honestly could probably write stories in this setting quite easily.

I have just finished up with post-grad University for the year (still working full-time though, yay...) and I have decided that I'd like to dedicate the rest of the year to actually writing and expanding my Roleplay horizons. I have no issues making OOC friends in RP, in fact I love OOC communication where we share character aesthetics, do some world building and discuss the plot of RP in general. I think the best RP I've ever done was when I had a great dynamic in OOC as well.

I think I have been fortunate (and unfortunate) enough to observe up close a fairly broad spectrum of humanity, the good, the bad and some stuff in between. I like to try and weave some of that into my writing to bring a more grounded perspective on stuff.

Anyways... I think that's enough rambling? Please feel free to reach out.

Side note: I have no idea what the prefix is meant to mean but I like to have a bit of a laugh...

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've created A Sanctum Tour to help find a lot of cool places on site! There's plenty to do while waiting on replies or to give yourself a break every now and then! But, these are some of my favorites! 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 and Hot Pink Names are Virtuosos 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!​
