Valithe: The Resident Newbie

Greetings, my name is Valithe and I'm an avid role player and novice writer in my spare time. The types of role plays that I generally enjoy are science fiction, action-adventure, horror, video game parodies or stories based off of video games or a combo of the previously mentioned. I do enjoy other genres and I am willing to try out new ideas and to expand my horizons.

The roles I like to play in role plays are usually the villain (not your hack and slash villains either >), the naive and innocent supportive character, the antihero who helps the main character(s), or the double agent. My favorite role is to play the bad guy because they have many levels to them and its always fun to break the rules. However, I love when someone else plays an excellent villain and that makes the story even more delicious. So heads up to all you villain players out there and keep up the good work!

---A little about me in real life now---

I am 24 years old and I am currently going to school at Northern Illinois University (NIU) for nursing and a minor in public health. I enjoy hobbies such as video games (both console and PC), reading, writing, cooking, walking, hanging up with friends, and of course sleeping and being lazy in bed. I currently work at NIU for housing and dining.

Some of my video game interests are N64 (Starfox 64, Banjo and Kazooie, Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, Turok 2, Goldeneye 007, and of course Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask)

Gamecube (Tales of Symphonia, Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean, Starfox Adventures and Assault, Phantasy Star Online: Episode I and II, Sonic the Hedgehog: Adventure DX and Sonic the Hedgehog: Adventure and Battle 2(?), Sonic Heroes, Metroid Prime 1 and 2, Resident Evil 4)

Xbox 360 (Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fable II and III, Borderlands, Left 4 Dead I and II, Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2, Dead Space I and II, L.A. Noire, Mass Effect (all three))

PC (Dawn of War: Dark Crusade, Winter Assault, Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising, Minecraft, World of Warcraft)

I also like to play tabletop gaming with Warhammer 40,000 as well and my army of choice is Chaos Undivided with my legion of choice being the Black Legion.

I hope to role play very soon and I hope to meet and make some new friends. Thank you for reading this and pleased to meet all of you guys and girls.

Quite a list of interests! I share a few of your video game interests (though you've certainly played quite a bit more than me), but you neglected to mention what kind of reading you enjoy

Welcome to FOG! Don't hesitate to join any of the role-plays that you find interesting, or even to create your own. FOG has been in a bit of a slump since the Holidays, but it seems to be on the rise again. I'm sure you'll find some interest in whatever ideas you have!

Also, check out the forum games if you want to establish an identity for yourself outside of your writing, or even to get a feel of the other members here. And, if you'd like, you can post some of your writing in the Written Works and Journalism section.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask more or another moderator. I look forward to seeing you around!

Overlap!

Welcome to the FOG, Valithe!
A splendid introduction!

It's always great to see an experienced role-player joining us. That's pretty much why we exist, so I really should say Welcome Home.
I'm looking forward to seeing some of your writing, and to role-playing with you at some point. Do enjoy your exploration of the site, and if you have any questions along the way, please feel free to ask! Right here in your intro thread is a good place, while we're all getting to know you anyway.

Welcome again! You'll fit in around here marvelously.
Happy writing!

Thank you very much for the warm welcome. ^^ It is refreshing to be around experienced role players and writers. I still consider myself a novice and I hope to learn to expand my horizons and increase my skills in both writing and role playing.

As for my reading I prefer horror, science fiction, and non fiction about viral and bacterial infections. Some of my favorite authors are James Rollins, Stephen King, Michael Crichton(sp) - (author of Andromeda Strain, Jurassic Park, Timeline and others), Richard Preston, and Robin Cook

Some of my favorite books are Jurassic Park, Andromeda Strain, Evacuation, Amazonia, It, Dreamcatcher, The Stand, The Shining, Outbreak, The Marker, Vital Signs, The Hot Zone, The Demon in the Freezer, and others.

Undivided hippy… There is only one true god.

The lord of war and carnage, he who sits upon the skull throne.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

I actually do have a squad of khorne berzerkers and they are pretty neat to build and to paint. So you are a chaos fan too. At least I'm not an Ultramarine fan (no offense to Ultramarine fans)

Welcome, Valithe! I hope you've been settling nicely into FoG!
