Hi everyone. My name is Rena and I am 33 years old. Role playing is a fairly new venture for me as I have only been at it for a year or so and only in my spare time. (i have a hubby and kids to take care of. family first^^) It started for me as a joke and then the story just went on and on. After getting wrapped up in more stories with a few friends I decided to look for a forum dedicated to role playing.
My writing skills are not great but I can put together a decent few paragraphs when motivated by an interesting idea. Vampires, ghosts, magic and mystical things are my interests but I am very open to most ideas. Hopefully I will be able to find a few experienced roleplayers willing to work with me on improving skills and some new friend to simply have fun writing.

Hey there, Rena!
As a fellow newcomer and 33-year-old, I welcome you. Perhaps we can put our heads together and play something fun. I also like mystical aspects in roleplay, and I'm more than willing to help a new player get more involved and more practiced at writing. I can always use the practice myself :)
Hope you find the play you're looking for.
Andy

Hello to you too.
I peeked around at a few intros before I posted mine and noticed you were the same age. Thanks for the welcome! I'd be glad to role play something with you. I'm sure we could come up with something fun, I just hope I don't slow ya down. I can do modern also but that feels limited for me unless, like I mentioned in my intro, the interest really motivates me. Mixing magic and fantasy in a modern element can be fun. I'd love to give that a try.

Hello Rena, and welcome to Roleplay Gateway!
Welcome to our humble abode here at Roleplay Gateway! :D My name is Ylanne (it makes a spiffy username too! ---> ), and I am the site's resident crime writer. I'm also an editor (so feel free to ask me about publishing and the process if that's something you're interested) and part-time teacher. I'm always around, so you should feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions, problems, suggestions, or requests in regards to the site, your roleplaying, and/or your writing. I would be happy to help you in any way I can, in any way necessary or desired. I respond to all queries within 24 hours. Because you are new to this site and to roleplaying, I highly encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity. (Other people to seek help from: Dark blue usernames denote mentors, green usernames denote moderators, and red usernames denote administrators).
I prefer modern/realistic roleplay, and especially character-driven stories (basically literary work), but am open to almost anything. The only setting I will never do under any circumstances whatsoever is cybering, or any game or writing inclusive of sexual content beyond what is seen in a PG-13 film. I tend to be advanced/literate and write upwards of 500-750 words on average per post, so I expect the same from most others; however, semi-literate also appeals to me, so two paragraphs can work well too. (Surprisingly, I can also enjoy consistent one liner dialogue between two characters, but only if setting and other context has already been established.) I've also begun to participate in text-based fighting, which I found surprisingly interesting and compelling. (And LARP is the first kind of roleplay I've ever done, and it still remains my favorite).
If you're interested in private roleplay, just drop me a line anytime. Also feel free to check out the links in my signature. I have an interest check that's been open for a while now - a warning though: it's all modern and realistic settings. That being said, here's hoping you have a wonderful time here! The folks round here are great people and great roleplayers, with rare exceptions. You can find practically everything here that you've ever imagined or could want to write, read, or roleplay - and if you for some crazy reason you don't see it, feel free to create it. We encourage creativity - it's the reason the site exists. Other than Eric (our founder) having way too much free time on his hands!
To shamelessly advertise, check out Hayya, which is a character-driven advanced/literate dark fantasy open roleplay. It's my only non-realistic roleplay I've ever written and it needs characters! :) And my newest roleplay is The Station, which is my typical modern/realistic setting, which has 15 accepted characters and an IC thread. It's always accepting and could use more older and/or police characters. :)
Be sure to take a look at the site rules. There are only five of them, but they're all integral to the continued success of this community. Members on this site use the forums, the chat system, and the Roleplay Tab system for roleplaying. For help with the Roleplay Tab system, which is unique to our site, you might want to look at this user written guide. By the way, my reference guide, Ylanne's Guide to Roleplay Terminology includes not only general roleplaying terms (useful for those new to roleplaying altogether), but also a number of terms used specifically on this site (useful for anyone new to this site, or anyone acclimated to slightly different terminology).
And once again, welcome! I hope to see you more often around the forums. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask.
Blessings and peace,
Ylanne

Summer 2012 leadership opportunity for college students on the autism spectrum!

Jan. 2012: I'm researching roleplaying and need any roleplayers to take an anonymous survey. It takes an average of 25 minutes. This is part 1 of 2. The second survey will be released soon.
"Funny you should mention prisoners: This afternoon we were talking about playing out a hostage situation in the bar and we were like 'only Ylanne would play the victim.'"

Hello and thank you.
I will take advantage of this offer and poke around in the links you have posted. I will say right away the role play The Station you have going is very interesting and I've only glanced at the beginnings of it. Character ideas are already rolling around in my head.
There is a lot to read here before I dive into anything and you have given me more to feast on ( and some helpful guidance too!). Yes I have read the rules, did that first thing. I would not want to anger the gods.
Thanks again
~Rena~
