KenżaSheep
That's nice. Put it back.
Heyo! Nice to meet everyone for the first time! Admittedly, I've never used a forum for RPing before, so it would be lovely to have someone show me how it works. ( ̄ W  ̄)
Other than that, I'll tell you all a few facts about myself in exchange for a couple of answers to my innumerable questions. Sound fair? Good!
Personal Preferences
• Call me Kitty... I would prefer not to hear anyone say Kenża or Sheep xD
• Personal pet-peeves of mine when RPing are severely poor grammar (but I promise, I'm a good girl and I'm not going to bully anyone about it in any way!) and I dislike LGBTQ+ themes and/or romances (since it falls against my religion, but I don't mind being friends with you guys/gals!) Just because these bother me doesn't mean I'm gonna bring it up; I'm not gonna exclude anyone just because I dislike something petty. ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ
• I prefer survival, fantasy, (medieval and otherwise) and (to some extent) sci-fi genres, and I generally shy away from horror/thriller, mystery (which, I'm to be honest, I've only ever seen one RP based around, so that's probably why...) and romance.
• I generally find romance in general so very, very sappy, but when an OTP comes around, I'm not gonna sneer at a little destiny... and I DO have a tendency to resort to fangirling. (Fangirling includes [but is not limited to] random emotional outbursts such as squealing, much art based around said OTP's personality-relationship with each other, (e.g. that love-hate thing so many of us see) and/or the need to listen to music that reminds me of the OTP.)
• Please don't ask how old I am, if you can help it. This is the internet. All you're gonna get is "old enough to know better, too reckless to care."
History
• I've been a diehard RPer for almost... wait... let me check... a tentative five years? My sense of time is a little warped....
• I used to RP heavily on another site, but it went from being free to paid, and I couldn't afford the subscription. For the past year, I've been RPing alone with a singular friend of mine, (every day for almost 8 months) but that's left her a little imaginaion-leaked, and I need to find a new crowd while she recovers.
• I practically live in fiction. To pull my head out for any reason is usually devastating unless it's for almost-late homework or a quick break for the essentials of survival.
RPing Facts About Me
• My persona (Kitty Thompson) is my most-developed and very first OC. She's been with me since the very beginning, and though she's been through a ton of character development as I've improved in RPing, her overall character appearance has stayed relatively the same. (Save maybe a wardrobe change now and again.)
• I have the tendency to type... in GREAT length... when it comes to answers, (I love to make sure I get every possible facet of what I'm explaining in great detail) RP replies, (if I have the time and/or care enough) and generally when I'm thinking really heavily on something and decide to share. Otherwise, my responses might be just as short as "she sneezed."
• At the time of writing, I have a habit of using the words "just," "although," "but," "however," "otherwise," and using "," to split a sentence before "and" or "but" even when there's only one subject. Any grammar nerd will know what I mean, otherwise don't worry yourself too much about it.
• I don't swear, nor do I encourage it, but you may occasionally find me saying things such as "what in SaufHolm," (a fictional realm of my friend's) "by fangs," (a phrase I'd rather not explain) "for Thief's sake," "dangit," "what the flip," (wtheck, if I'm really emotional towards something) or other strange sayings like the above. If that's alright with everyone else, then we're good. If something goes against the rules, be sure to let me know. •w•
• Chaotic Good all the way, y'all! Same with my persona.
• It's been ages since I've written a sign-up sheet -w-; Generally new OCs of mine will pop out of nowhere in the middle of an RP. I tend to spend more time wanting to improve old OCs than make new ones, so I can very well list (most of) my OCs in a couple of paragraphs if not less. Some of them have very in-depth personalities and pasts, and others I'm still trying to improve upon.
General Life Facts
• I love KITTEHS (THE SMOL FLOOFS ARE SO FLOOOOFYYYYYY)
• I'm a college student, so I may (at some point) have to put my homework before my sanity....
• Weird as ever, far stranger than that. I've got that "sheltered life" going for me, so I'm gonna be one odd parsnip for a long while yet.
• I strongly dislike the news/politics in general. I beg you, PLEASE don't start a conversation with "did you hear what was on the news this morning-"
• If I could get paid to RP, I would accept without hesitation. This is my life. I love it.
• I love to ask QUESTIONS. I want to know as much as I can about things, and my favorite curiosity is "why."
• I love coffee, but it gives me jitters if I don't eat something as well. I've been more of a tea drinker recently.
How do I like them? Coffee, I like with cream and sugar.... A lot of sugar. Like, enough sugar to a bit before it starts making the dregs uber sweet. Tea, if it's herbal, I just like sugar. Enough so that I can taste the tea, but not overly sweetened. I prefer black tea, so just a splash of cream and about half as much sugar as I put in my coffee, but a tad more than in my herbal tea.
I pretty much ran out of things to say for now. I do have a "couple" of questions, however.
1. Are there any formatting quirks/glitches I should be aware of when typing? Like, paragraph glitches; certain characters doing something strange to the formatting; etc. Shortcuts/hacks when typing? Things of that nature. It helps me to look more professional without the usual trial-and-error lol
2. Is there any set online timezone, or is it to each his own?
3. Would someone be willing right quick to tell me how to get to various places? E.g. messages, the forum, (and various parts thereof) other places I may-or-may-not know about.
4. Before I jump into any RPing here, would one of you more seasoned RPers be willing to point me towards one of your favorite finished RPs on the forum so that I may read through it? (Try not to point me towards anything too far over PG-13 please! (´꒳`) Thank you!) I love a good adventure, and I'd like to see how RPing works here before I seem a little foolish by jumping in unprepared (especially since I've been talking so much about my prior RPing experience....)
5. Would someone be kind enough to explain forum RPing to me...? I've only really RPed over texting-esk media. Forums are another side of the spectrum lol
6. Does each person come up with his or her own plot, world, etc., or is there a base-set universe for the forum?
7. Also, what are the rules/thoughts on general character creation? Is there a sign-up someplace, or does everyone just jump in as they see fit and describe as they go along?
8 I saw two links; one led to the RP forum, the other to an OOC forum. What's the overall difference in function? I mean, I get it, but would someone explain more in-depth for me? Is there absolutely zero OOC chat in the RP forum area?
Hope I gave y'all something good to think about. Maybe we can be friends? I'd love to become a part of this community. Tell me when you're ready for this stranger to join you, K? :3
