Night falls

[Noctifer]

Hello everyone,

I have been now roleplaying for 20 years or so, half my life really. I got started with fantasy books and forum games. It was that hobby quickly diverged into writing one-on-one with others sharing my particular tastes. One story followed another and the rest his history, as they say. I write exclusively OC's in settings I draft with my partners. I am a world-builder as much as I am a writer — and I take great pleasure in weaving a world around the characters. I love being able to build from an off-hand comment my partner wrote a few pages earlier.

You'll likely find me at the darker corners of this forum, for it's the extremes that I adore. I usually create my characters to ask questions. What might turn someone into a monster? Are there morals beyond our own making? What truly lurks in our hearts? I lean towards psychological aspects of roleplay, curious to explore what happens between between characters when one imposes his will on the another.

What am I seeking here then? Mmhm, that's a good question. Perhaps I'll quote an old man.

"Companions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. Fellow creators the creator seeks --
those who write new values on new tablets. Companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters;
for everything about him is ripe for the harvest."

sincerely,
Noctifer

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!​
