/Hello everyone! I'm Dominator046!
Some of you may know me, some of you may not! I have an interest in roleplaying, and that's why I'm here! I have many years experience in roleplaying, both in participating and in running. I've been in numerous places, in numerous mediums, enjoying this pass-time that hopefully more people will come to share!
To describe myself, I'm a bit of an eccentric. I am a computer science major, considering a minor in Anthropology, Philosophy, or English, while simultaneously considering a Master's in Cyber Security. I am a student in love with all things anthropology, philosophy, psychology, sociology, technology, history, science, warfare, martial arts, culture, and what have you. I am a beginning H.E.M.A. (Historical European Martial Arts) practitioner, a Historical Reenactor, A Writer (Low Fantasy, Science Fiction, Non-Zombie Post-Apoc, Mainstream, all adult), and a College Student.
I love narratives of all sorts. I read books, I read comic books (western / manga), I watch cartoons (western / anime), and I roleplay! I engage in textbased, tabletop, game-based textbased (MMO, Garry's Mod non-DarkRP, etc), Forums, M.U.D./M.U.S.H., and more!
I don't really feel that I should announce my specialties, and that I should leave that up to you guys; but, I do have an honest opinion in that I have a few rather good qualities. Namely, I would specify my storytelling, the immersion that I attempt to inspire in my roleplay, and the storytelling elements that I will use to get that across.
Similarly, I love character building. Some people hate making character sheets; I personally love it, so long as I have a character in mind. I can't really force it, but I can pretty easily inspire it. So, you can expect some stuff on that end to come as well!
I do have a youtube channel, and before finding out about this site, I had considered doing my own series on cRPGs, tabletop gaming, textbased gaming, immersion, and other things. I may still do it, but university is drying up all my time!
I think that's a good introduction! Feel free to reach out to me if you'd like! Thanks for reading!
