I'm going to use this opportunity to quickly explain my absence from Mizahar. So in 2012 I was introduced to this site by a friend (now inactive) and joined with two characters (including Jez) for a few months. I loved the lore and am so happy to see how much it's expanded in my absence. Unfortunately 2012 was not a great time for me out in the real world. I was finally diagnosed with a couple of mental health disorders related to an illness I've had my whole life and also my home situation wasn't great. I'm not going to go into these things because I don't want too much private information out here, and I didn't make a scrapbook for talking about that stuff. At the same time as it was happening studying was getting more intensive and I couldn't get on top of things. Something had to break and it was my ability to keep up with online activities, including roleplaying sites.
I eventually forgot about Mizahar until I saw it mentioned a month or so ago. I came back expecting it to have died but was pleasantly surprised to see it still thriving! I am so happy to be roleplaying Jez again, in a community of such well written people (I have spent too much time in fast moving, one liner forum rps D:). Now, having moved away from home and gotten a handle of my mental illness, I am in a much better position that five years ago. I am looking forward to being part of this community for the foreseeable future ^^
