Have you ever set down and actually thought about why you roleplay? Is it a hobby, a game, something to just pass time or is there a passion that drives us to create the best and most enjoyable storyline we can? Through all the hours we spend developing and designing our characters, did we ever imagine that it would get this big? I have created this thread in hopes that fellow players of the ISRP would share their reasonings and feelings behind why they roleplay. To begin, I will share mine.
When I first started back in 2000, it was an on and off ordeal. I only played when I had time and only because it was something to do. I started off using Nioki on the Wizards site, then as time went on key players that I know today came into the picture. I met Thunder soon after I began using Lain. Then after that I met Tabita. By then it had become something I enjoyed to do. Roleplaying was a great bit of fun for me, and I was on often. But as time went on, I became too emotionally entwined in my characters and their storylines. So the reasoning had left me to RP. I took a break and now I have a new reason to RP. Throughout all my experiences on ISRP there was one person who was always there to help me out. I knew I could turn to him. Some of you know him as Tabita, others as Arlian. He taught me alot about the roleplaying world, alot I still remember today. So now the reasoning for me roleplaying in this present time, besides the fact that I simply love it, is that one day I might make that person proud. I know, it is silly, but that is one of the reasons I roleplay now. That person, in a way, is my hero and it is an honor everytime I get to interact with one of his characters.
Tabster, if you are somewhere reading this, know you are missed. Not just by Lainy the char but by the player as well. Hope to see you soon.
