What are your hobbies?
I love to draw. I've had no official training but I was always greatly inspired by animation as a child. As of late I've been enjoying the full length animated features from Marvel and DC as well as various anime. I'd like to perhaps do a few commissions so I built: Commissions by: Ravenclaw to help me practice my diversity and maybe make a little money lol.
I always fancied writing. I'd written a couple short stories concerning some of my rpg characters, but nothing of any great length. When I began reading Stephen King's The Dark Tower I decided to revisit an idea for a novel that I'd had as a teenager. That's not at all what I ended up writing, but my goals and tastes had changed since then. I decided to write something that I wanted to read rather than something someone else thought I might like. I recently finished my first novel called 13 Moons, which is currently being proofread by a friend of mine. I eventually intend to offer it on Amazon for download. I've begun that novel's sequel and have plans for a third. Anyone interested can read chapter one of 13 Moons here:

I also enjoy hunting. My father began taking me hunting with him when I was or 6. Mostly for squirrel and rabbit. When I turned 11 I began deer hunting with him. And no, it's not about outsmarting some dumb animal or getting the biggest buck to hang on the wall. The last bit is just icing on the cake lol. But more than that it's part of the father daughter bonding experience. I've hunted with my father for the last 16 years and it's our thing I guess. I also don't believe in killing something you aren't going to eat. Trophy hunting is senseless and wasteful. Deer meat is a staple of our household diet and if I didn't like the taste of it, I wouldn't hunt.
It's also fun getting to play in all that blood and guts once a year lol.
What is it you do mostly on Elftown?
Role play. When I first met [
shadow of darkness] he invited me to play in X-men united which he had co-created. After a few months the co-creator dropped out and I stepped in to pick up the slack. From X-U I met [
Chel.] and [
Evolution X] who have become great friends and the foundation of our RP group.
I don't like just one genre, but I do like games where the moderator is open minded enough to take input from their players. I see RPGing as an ongoing epic tale. You and your fellow players are the authors, but are all responsible for your own characters.
