1. How much experience do you have with roleplaying? Have you played other MMORPGs? There's no wrong answer here.
I started RPing in AOL Chatrooms in 1993. I found my way shortly thereafter to Gemstone III, Dark and Shattered Lands, and Terris, popular text games of the time. I'd love to say I only played them for a few years, as it would be totally backwards playing text games on the internet in 2012, but I still do play Dark and Shattered Lands. Regardless, all three are RP enforced, and I've been doing various other forms of Roleplaying since then as well.
2. What has brought your character to the group? Do you have any stories/ideas that you hope to develop for them as they progress through the game, and if so, what are they?
In truth, I took a month off, and my former cabal imploded (The Invisible College). I've heard nothing but good things about Ægir, so I came calling. As far as stories and ideas go, well, I'd have to say I cheated a little with my character. It's been so infrequent that a "present-day" roleplay opportunity crops up that my character represents sort of an alternate reality version of myself. I do actually hold degrees in Archaeology and Social Anthropology from Penn State, and I was offered a ride in BC for my Juris Doctor (but declined). I'm a Database Architect now, with only moderate regrets, but the story my character follows is a sort of "What if I had really driven headfirst into Anthropology", with of course the Cryptozoological and Mythological twist TSW presents, of course.
3a. Fill in the blank: If my character were to meet an Eldritch Horror From Beyond Space And Time, he/she would probably try to decide whether or not there was a way to study it without killing it, or being killed, and decide whether to fight based on that decision.
3b. Fill in the blank: If I were to meet an Eldritch Horror From Beyond Space And Time, I would probably run like hell, then go home and read a book about Eldritch Horrors From Beyond Space and Time.
4. How did you find out about us, and how would you like for us to contact you in-game?
I found you through the RP Cabal Page on the Arcadia forums. I'd heard your name crop up a few times in game prior, so I followed the link on the website, looked through the forums here and decided to apply.
You're welcome to send me messages to my gmail account which I can in game, or otherwise (lippincottc1@gmail.com), or any way which is easiest for you. I'm available often enough.
5. Have you ever wanted a chance to just say whatever you'd like to about yourself to a group of anonymous strangers over the internet? If so, here's your chance!
