Greetings to each and every one of you. My name is Ascen (no not my real name, but its something that i'd like to be called here) and i am pleased to come to this site finally. I'll admit that after reading the lore and past events it made me wish that i found this site sooner. As for roleplaying, ho boy where to start from here. I've been roleplaying for roughly ten years now through D&D and five years of roleplaying online now. Sadly after a good while i took a break from roleplaying in general because life needed to get stablized enough for me to focus on luxuries such as this. Frankly its safe to say that i simply love to roleplay and while i am new to this site's system and lore i can easily craft a story hopefully with other people this time.
Last time i crafted a roleplay story it was originally for other people to join but it winded up being a solo for a good five full threads. At any rate, i found this site simply by going to google. A lovely search engine that just about everyone uses unless you prefer Bing. However what i searched wasn't Mizahar specifically, instead i went with the "top 10 fantasy rp forums" and it took me to a site named www.toprpsites.com where it displayed exactly 10 forums that fit my description. Maybe 2 or even 3 peeked my interest, but i was being indecisive so i went back to the search engine and i looked just below it to see Mizahar. Curious, i clicked on it and i swear that it was like reading the Codex of Infinite Planes from Pathfinder. In a good way mind you, for i love the lore, but it literally took me a solid day just from reading the events thats happened up until now and reading up on the race of Inarta that i actually picked randomly and decided to stick with it or try to. Additionally i was also taking notes of keywords on paper and writing short descriptions of the keywords mean or places/objects/people of importance just so that i won't have to be searching back into the lore everytime i forget something. Plus it helps me remember them too.
When it comes to roleplay its like breathing air into my character and as such i roleplay just about anything. Granted i don't like the slavery, torture, and such personally. But i always think about what my character would feel, how would my character react to such things? After all this character is not me, granted i could always make them like me but thats a bit boring for me. If one would notice that in some situations like that i don't mind it unless it gets waaaay to far out of hand.
What i like about Mizahar so far is how much in depth the staff members (including the founder) has put into the lore of each and every race, religion, factions, locations, magic, and even the skills! The skills by itself is amazing, though some of them i've noticed are lacking some detail, but thats alright. I mean i swear i was spending almost an hour straight trying to figure out what kind of skill should i take and such. Sure i've read about the Magic later on, but i mostly wanted to focus on the basic stuff first and do the baby steps up the ladder before i tried anything as complex as magic and such. And the Inarta with Wind Reach's ability to have eagle riders that alone was enough to spark my excitement mostly because im always seeing stuff like vampires, elves, dwarves, and hell even becoming dragon riders. I guess you could say that i wasn't burnt out of roleplaying at all, i was just burnt out on the generic fantasy worlds and wanted something fresh and new.
Okay i need to stop fanboying over the lore because its taking up most of the introduction. I do have an alternative character named Lothuialeth Gwilithes that is in Ravok while my main character, Ascen, is located in Avanthal. So anyone in Ravok wishes to roleplay with me i'll be using my alternative while my kiddo Ascen would be training in Avanthal for a good portion of the year unless a time skip happens which i hope it doesn't anytime soon.
A ton of pleasure meeting all of you and hopefully we can make an awesome story together ^^
