Greetings and Salutations

I'm finally breaking my three year hiatus from play-by-post roleplaying, dusted off the assorted books and guides I use to branch ideas off of, and cracked the typing knuckles and prepared for some good old fashioned roleplaying.

A little about me:
I've been roleplaying just about all my life. It started when I was a little boy, running around in the back yard waving a large stick around in the air pretending it was totally awesome sword that I would use to slay the dragon and save the princess. When I was ten, I was introduced to Final Fantasy 7. Needless to say, I never went back outside and started waving a stick around again. From there, I went on to games such as Final Fantasy 8 - 12, The Legend of Dragoon, Chrono Cross, Vagrant Story, Grandia, Star Ocean, and many others. With the advancement of gaming consoles, I moved on to games including The Elder Scrolls series, Star Wars: The Knights of the Old Republic, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and Two Worlds. My friends began playing many tabletop games like Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer 40K, Inquisitor, and a few White Wolf games. Not having enough money to afford miniatures and paint, I instead began taking characters or armies my friends used and writing stories about other adventures and conflicts they were involved in as well as writing about what happened during gaming sessions that I attended. Then they all got involved in World of Warcraft and I dropped them like a sack of bricks because I don't like that game.
As an adult, I've gotten more involved in some tabletop games that I enjoyed watching be played like Inquisitor and Warhammer 40K, although what little collection of miniatures I have is lost somewhere in the deepest and darkest corner of my U-Haul storage and I am too afraid to venture back there for fear of something terrible grabbing me and nobody ever being able to find my body. I continued writing stories following my character or armies giving my own personal people personality and a history.

However, I slowly drifted away from tabletop gaming and roleplaying. I put all of my Dungeons and Dragons and Warhammer 40K books into a box along with my miniatures and haven't seen them since, I've sold or lost most of my console RPGs and replaced them with Call of Duty and Battlefield. All my writing is stacked in a box somewhere at my parent's house or saved on an ancient computer that will probably blow up if ever turned back on.
But, good news! I've decided to get myself back into it and after enduring a small amount of ridicule from my wife, I am now ready to get back on that horse and start roleplaying once again.

I can play just about any character (I prefer dark and menacing characters and I can't play females very well), I can play just about any genre (I thoroughly enjoy fantasy and medieval genres or sometimes sci-fi). I do enjoy long and narrative posts because I love both reading and writing and always enjoy a RP more if others do the same. I don't like seeing one-line posts or just dialogue with no description because I can't envision what's going on. All I see in my mind is a stick figure talking. I am a stickler for proper spelling and grammar but won't call someone out on it unless it is a continuous problem. And I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of RolePlayGateway.

Also, I absolutely hate asparagus. But that's a totally different story.
