This post is OOC because I really prefer people to meet my character in person and get their ideas about him from there.
With that said, Latruce suggested I post an informal introduction here and also recommended I read over some of the excellent RP stories your members have posted. He specifically mentioned a series by Vor, which intrigued me because I figured anyone who shared a name with my favorite miniature's game (made by FASA) had to be cool!
I am without a doubt a roleplayer first when it comes to MMORPGs. In every choice I make and in every point I like and dislike about a game they pretty much come back to my roots of table top pen and paper RPGs.
The Highlight of my RPG experience came when as a summer Intern for Pinnacle Entertainment Group (makers of Deadlands) I got to be a GM at both GenCon and Origins. I had a real blast and was totally the right guy in the right place at the right time. Following that opportunity to play with some of the most enthusiastic, talented and fun loving roleplayers it was hard to find a pick up group at my local hobby shop after I graduated college and moved on to my proffessional carreer. More importanly though I'd gotten a taste for MMORPGs in college playing online with friends who were no longer in school.
Since then its been an incredible experience to maintain a hobby with a few good friends regardless of where I live.
I am presently enjoying the tactical challenge of EQ2 and the environment of Antonia Bayle has been very encouraging for roleplay.
I think the best future for Roleplay on Antonia Bayle is large RP guilds who work together and know who eachother are. My fear is that as with so many other games Roleplayers will form tight pockets of good roleplay who are in large part entirely ignorant of eachother.
My goal is to bring talented people of a like mind TOGETHER.
I respect what Avian Alliance has accomplished as a Guild. I'd like to work with you all in creating something together.
Please do check out my proposal at

Or create an account and say hi on the forums of that site which is not affiliated with any guild (which is intentional).

I hope to meet more of you in character !
peace,
