[QUOTE="Ruthia, post: 3744316, member: 34811"] Reason I RP? Well at first with my very first character, who was known then as Ruth_the_White...Now known as Ruthia, honestly it was a way to relax and pass time while I was home sick pregnant and raising my daughter who was barely one at the time. Ruthia was, in all honesty, a writen character who I had made many stories about by that time. So for me taking her out to meet people was a natural extentsion of my imagination. As time rolled on I found the ISRP Roleplay lost a bit of flavor to me, I was never sure why but it was back in the waning days of Wizo Bailey and Reese. Instead of taking a full break, because I loved writing, I turned to Boards RPing and became a real mover on the MoP ((Map of the Planes for those who don't know the WIzards Boards)). It was there I meet up with the likes of Khaira, Agudo the Archmage of Light, Drindin, Gene Kynes, Kulideb, Myranthor.....many of whom I still count as friends today. My rping there gave me a reason to stop coming into chat..as boards rping is a slower pace and allowed me to still rp without cutting away time from my busy life as I mom. Then I read about the possibly and up coming move of the place I had started in, ISRP. At that point in time I was going through a massive depression and really needed something to sink into, to take my mind of it. So out of retirement came Ruthia, with a brand new bag of problems and ready to roll. Funny thing was my little brother was going through a depression at the same time. So he joined me becoming my Ruthia's main enemy and her "father" at the same time, Beljames/Guardian James. After that the two of us got emersed in this world known as ISRP, sticking with it through the moves and the conflicts...and yes even through the large groups of you who groan unhappily every time you see me on line :p Durning this trade over time I meet new people...people who wanted to add to the crazy storyline known as Ruthia's life. Khaira, who's player is a great person who has stuck with me through thick and thin since day one, followed me over and reammerged a changed character as well. Imreis, who next to Khaira is my Favorite Player, started getting caught up in my storyline and working it to it's completion. Other players..Maril, Alana, Lince'sa, Keon, Constiantine, Kitheryn, Skylyne, Oriza.....each added thier own mark to my storyline. These players created a draw, pulling me back day after day after day. Making me WANT to find out what happened next to my story..wanting to SEE what twist thier actions would make me add. And on the days where my storyline felt dull, drab.....Gods the rest of you are a BLAST to watch.

So...Why do I RP? Because of all you. YOU keep me coming back and enjoying my break from the realities of being a jobless stay home mom of three kids and little money, who barely gets to see her husband because he works 60/80 hours a week. YOU make it enjoyable and fun....even those of you who don't like me OR my characters.....and I thank you for that. [/QUOTE]
