a roleplayer is born! kiri's getting wrapped up in this again?  
In which Kiri remembers the time she spent roleplaying on LJ... )

Anyway, I was thinking about the things I missed on LJ and I immediately remembered roleplaying. And then, what do you know? An active community on DW pops up! Say hello to [community profile] forestofdreamers ! It's a pan-fandom roleplay, so you can roleplay any character from any fandom at any time, whether they be AU characters, characters that you've given your own backgrounds to (like Grey Wardens and Shepards) or just totally original characters in general! The head mod is super nice and seems to have a lot of dedication to the project, so I doubt it's going to go anywhere anytime soon! I'm so excited, because DW is more of a home to me than LJ ever was, and to finally have a place to roleplay... It's the best!

I already made a character journal! Meet [personal profile] rokusasu , aka Roxas, of course! It was a big decision - choosing who I'd play first, Riku or Roxas, but in the end I choose Roxas, mainly 'cause I found icons for him quicker... Sorry Riku! I do plan to bring Riku eventually, along with Zack Fair, Larxene, Kadaj, and Denzel, the usual crew! Also, because they don't mind if you alter the canon, I've altered Roxas so that he functions a little more like the Roxas on my old forum - restless, searching for something (his friend, Axel) and I've had him search for his heart too. His bio is over on his profile, so go check it out, damnit! Oh, he also doesn't know who Xion is (mainly because I don't know who Xion is) and his memory of her is completely wiped out. On the off chance that I run into a Xion, he will completely pull a blank.

I also should point out that you don't need to make a profile to play there... I just did 'cause I'm so old-school like whoa.

I'm probably going to add on histories to the other characters so they remind me of how they were on the old forum, too. Larxene isn't going to be so explosive and immature, but scheming and a little calmer, traits she picked up from Zexion after working with him for so long. Zack Fair was never dead, pfffft, but he was revived by Lazard after spending eight months in a basement deep in Midgar. Kadaj... man, his whole history is so different from the canon history in Advent Children... Not sure what I'm doing with him yet, but he's on a mission to eliminate Sephiroth and revive Jenova, no surprise. Denzel was never raised by Cloud, hah, but by Cid! He swears and he bombs everyone to hell with explosives.
 
Who's stoked? Kiri's stoked!

Who didn't use the weekend to work on her research paper?! .... Kiri!
Oh my god, I'm so frickin' screwed. I'll just work on it during the week, no worries, no worries.

Remember, remember, the deadly 15th of December!

i walk on these roads of useless ramblings  
I love how whenever I'm at all, I'll think of all the things I have to do when I get home, and then when I get home, I don't do jack. I have a test tomorrow in human development, and this is me not really giving a damn! Seriously, I really don't want to do anything anymore, I want senior year to be over and done with, I want my senior project to be magically finished, I want it to be Christmas so I can play FF XIII, Fable III, and all the other games I asked for... I also crave mass amounts of sugary, chocolatey food for some reason. These blueberry cereal bars are going to have to do.

Today, I had this crazy urge to start roleplaying again. I've had this urge since Saturday really, but hell if there's ever going to be a place for me to roleplay as Riku again. I talked to [personal profile] razzberree about it, and we came to the conclusion that there's literally nowhere for a KH RP to be had, so if we want one, we'd have to make our own. Then we started talking about all the characters we could be roleplaying in a KH RP... Man, I miss playing Roxas, Riku, Kadaj, Zack, Larxene, Denzel... Bah, is it really so hard for there to be one quality KH roleplay out there? We then started lulzing around with ideas for a roleplay, but when it came to actually starting the thread, I was totally lost as to how the thread should be started. Like, these sorts of things used to come easy for me, but I haven't roleplayed in about two months now, since late September, I'd say.

The last character I made for a roleplay was a man by the name of Zacharias Moliére. He was French, a former cop turned hairdresser who was very delicate and fragile in demeanor. He was the sort of person who'd break under harsh words, but would put up a tough facade if it meant standing strong in front of the people he loved. He was very athletic and was trained in ju-jitsu (as a form of martial arts, for his past police days) but despite everything, he was very breakable on the inside. He was also very paranoid and bit his nails frequently.

A good thread I had on that forum with him was Zach talking to a priest about the horrible things he'd done, and the priest, in the middle of the thread sort of looked up at him and asked, "I believe the only sins you've ever committed lay in your heart." Or something like that. Heck if I remember. It was a good thread! I left the board because of drama, though. I was making fun of this fourteen year old who got pissed at me because something I said made him lose "the game" or whatever. God, I can't stand people who make a bunch of fuss over nothing....

Ahh, but yeah, I have good memories with roleplaying in general, but it's like, really hard to get a thread going. And now that I've stopped roleplaying for so long, I'm not sure if I can do it again! I want to write more with Zach, I want to KH roleplay, I want to make a crapload of characters and just toss them in crazy situations... but have I forgotten how? I hope not! I really hope not... I think I just need to get my feet wet in the field again! But I'm not going back to roleplaying with the masses on Proboards, hell no. I used to be addicted to that shit. 

I also think I should take these urges and just learn to write fanfiction if I can't get a roleplaying fix. Maybe I'll make an AO3 account to place my fanfiction in... I've been ignoring my want to write fanfiction for a while now, but I don't think I'm going to any longer. I won't upload it to devART, no, that's just for original stuff only. I just need to learn to write more! If you can't roleplay, then write, Kiri, write! You haven't really picked anything to work on since you finished Nightingale, you should be ashamed of yourself!

Speaking of devART, it's almost time for my monthly blog update back over there... Man, what have I accomplished since the beginning of Nov? Nothing! Well, I finished Nightingale, but would I even have written that if [personal profile] razzberree wasn't so amped to see it? It just goes to show that I write better when I know someone will read it! That's why I love roleplaying - when you write, someone is anticipating your post with bated breath, and better yet, they'll respond to it!

Anyway, I need to sort out what the hell I'm doing with myself... It's not like I even have time to worry about all this shit either, senior project's due on the fifteenth of December!
