Welcome to the world of Fortuna, a land of fantastic proportions. This is an original fantasy roleplay that takes place in a world developed over nearly a decade of work and collaboration. We aim to encourage all participants to have a hand in the stories of the characters here, and the world around them. Your choices are key - so make them with pride. You decide who wins the wars, you decide who becomes King, the world is ours, and together we will bring it to life!
I'm pretty sure that I'm a little late bopping into this thread. As they say: yolo.
As most of you already know, I'm Ari. I'm a 23 year old ADD sorority girl (most apt description) who majored in theatre in college and loves all things creative. I dabble in art, acting, singing, dancing (rather terribly), and, of course, writing.
I started my RP career in middle school on some really dumb site called Elite Roleplay which I'm sure still exists and is a hub of the most amateur of writers. Gotta start somewhere. Once I realized that I was looking for something a bit more simulating (and read a series called House of Night), I joined a canon site based on that book series and made a group of friends I would roleplay with for the next 7 years or so. This is where many characters were born, including my beloved Solana and Red.
After that, life got in the way, but we all come back eventually, so here I am. :3
I love you all already and can't wait to cause all sorts of trouble in fortuna!!

Can't wait to cause trouble? Last I checked, you've been causing plenty of trouble already ; ) So glad to have you here, Ari! <3
I have roleplayed since I was at least 13 but off and on. Dabbled in fandom types and some supernatural before rather drifting off into Real Life based stuff.
But I drifted away from that and RPing in general for a while. I couldn't seem to inspire myself and kept getting all the blocks. And I realized some things about myself that made it hard to RP.
Now I'm trying once more but this time in Fantasy as something new. Plus I liked the idea of storylines and how the place isn't fully character driven.
Also, I like reading and anime and all the nerdy things.
So... that's the gist with myself. I hope to have a good time here. *nods*

Welcome to the site, DiDi!! We're super excited to have you... Hopefully we'll be a solid first foray into high fantasy for you.

So this is very delayed as I joined like during January. Anyways, I’m Night, I’m currently in my final semester of college and am working on what I will be doing next year. As I mentioned in the chat I have been looking at graduate schools. Let’s see though, I am a giant nerd that watches lots of anime, fantasy, science fiction. I also read a lot of science fiction (mainly Clarke, Asimov, and other authors from the 60’s) and fantasy (this is mainly Ursula K Le Guin and whatever else I can get my hands on). I also play lots of games on both Steam (id: Nightenhawk) and on the Xbox (gamertag: Nightenhawk).
Anyways, I’ve been rping for like 10ish years, started on a WWII site and from there I have been on anime-based, supernatural, fantasy, and a few other genre type sites. Heck I have even suffered the fate of making a few of my own sites and opening them up.
Also, I feel as though I should include on this (since I was talking about grad schools and how this might actually impact my position on the site), I have recently been accepted into the Peace Corps. For those that don’t know what it is, essentially volunteers are sent around the world to assist with development. I will be in Ukraine starting this coming September should I pass the medical portion, to teach English in a Secondary Education setting. So come September (should I still have readily available internet access) I will not be as active (though I will do my best to remain active).
So yeah, if you have any questions for me or something like that just let me know!
Hello folks. I never know what to put in these intro things so sadly no long involved intro post like some people's who I am jealous of. But! I'm sure I will see you all around.

NIGHT! You finally made an intro post! I love having you around, as you're the best pirate captain we could have hoped for. I'll be sad to see you around less often once you go into the peace corps, but still happy to see you around when you have time!!

Welcome to Fortuna, Ulaire!! I'm excited to get RPing with you!
Oh I'm no good at these things, but HELLO I'm Reesa. Another one of those pulled over here by Ari! It's been a while since I last posted fantasy but it is my favorite thing to write... but just excuse me if I'm a bit rusty haha. I'm with Hun in being in awe of the level of detail, it's just plain fantastic and I'm so enjoying trying to learn all of it xD But anywayyyy it's great to meet you all ^^
