Good Greetings

Good Greetings to one and all! I've recently joined your site, though I've known of it for quite some time. Originally, I admittedly thought that it was going to crash and burn because I couldn't see people actually taking the time to read through all of the spectacular lore you'd presented, but upon finding that an old acquaintance of mine had begun participating, I decided to review my choice.

The decision was made to participate, and so here I am. So, onto the standardized questions that everyone enjoys answering!

● Have you roleplayed before? If so, where? If you have, how long have you been roleplaying for?
Yes, I have indeed participated in roleplay for several years now. My first foray into the subject likely occurred in a children's game known as Roblox. They had a particular server there devoted to a post apocalyptic nuclear winter filled with a plethora of fascinating creatures and monstrosities that I grew to love. Eventually, after many years of playing that particular server, I branched out. I believe it was about this time that I began to enjoy a Minecraft server by the name of Lord of the Craft. It was a fantasy experience based mostly upon the works of Tolkien, and the creative minds of all those that had gathered together to participate. Whilst it was fun, I found myself having trouble creating stories that had any sort of meaning, and I also found that the mechanics for the server left much to be desired. I began to look into assorted tabletop roleplaying games, and even participated at a local club, but soon that establishment found itself without it's beloved gamemaster, and the games there shut down quickly afterwards. I searched online and joined into a Star Wars game on a site known as Roll20. It was my first true attempt at playing a tabletop game, but the group that I had joined was somewhat odd, and the conclusion of their campaign; or at least my participation, involved drawing random cards based on randomized numbers, and achieving assorted results until eventually my character drew one too many cards and was disintegrated by a dust storm or something like that. My most recent endeavors brought me to a Star Wars roleplaying site which I still participate in, and I enjoy it a fair amount. The particular group I've aligned with on that site has given me several duties, and so my time may occasionally be diverted somewhat, but I find that this place is rather mellow, and so I doubt that will prove to be an issue.

● If it strikes your fancy, you may refer to me as Exodus. It's a favorite name of mine as it's meaning is 'Escape' which is exactly what I intend to do with my roleplaying; escape the monotony of average life.

● I have two favorites that stick in my mind. The first is one I still actively play on the aforementioned Star Wars site. He is known as Abelain, and is essentially a large, heavily armored space tick. The second comes from my first entry into roleplay and that character's name was Axel. He was a particularly large, sentient mutant bat which wandered the wastelands attempting to escape from his creators who intended to use him to combat enemy aerial units such as jets.

● I absolutely adore the amount of effort that's been put into the lore, and I look forward to understanding it all, and storing it into the biological computer I call my brain. I do still have the occasional questions about things such as the economic system, but my friend has been helping me to better understand such systems, and I hope to master my understanding of them shortly.

● I'm at least somewhat decent about reading people, and deception, though I myself don't partake in that particular action unless it's for the sake of a game. One of my favorite hobbies is a nice game of chess; I enjoy knowing I'm going to win several moves before my opponent.

● I attract crazy people. My guess is it's something about how I actually act which makes them read me as one of their own. I'd like to think I'm not completely off the wall like most of them are, though admittedly I'm a bit odd. Mind you, I'm still filled with enough normality to understand social standings and the like, and really, what is strange?

● Friend. I know that she plays a character named Rend, and my detective skills seem to indicate she might also be known as Tidal. Could be wrong though.

As a note: Noth is a Grandmaster in Intimidation. That means that he's at least as scary as the Count from Sesame Street. Beware.

She is also known as Tidal! Your detection skills have not failed you yet! Glad you did decide to join up and give this a go, for all that I'm sure SW will keep you hustling as well!

I'm excited to see your character when you get him up, if you do go with the idea we'd chatted about earlier especially! Antagonists unite :D

The greatest surprise is going to come when you realize that we're actually playing a convoluted game of Connect Four, and you've fallen for myillusions.


Muahaha! Wait... this means you've actually won four turns ago.

Well crap.

Heh, I have a friend who staffs on a Minecraft server and... well he has few good things to say about Lord of the Craft. I'm not even sure which server he is on... it could well be that one! But I don't think so. I think it's a small one. Anyway! Onwards and upwards, on to better things! Welcome, I hope you enjoy your time here!

Welcome to Standing Trials, Exodus!

First, big love to Tidal/Kraken for encouraging you to join. I think we have a few people here who came from Stars Wars RPGs, so I’m sure you’ll find your kin here.

Second, it looks like you’ve already got your character set up and have started writing. That’s awesome to see! I’m sure you’ll have a blast in Etzos. There are a number of wonderful writers there already. You also have a great prophet to look after your PC’s inevitable demise. ;)

If you have any questions, please continue to reach out to your friends, staff, or chat. We’re all more than happy to help you out!
