Hail, and well met, travelers. Or is it I who is traveling? I'm pretty sure you know me from the last cycle we all went through (Boy was that one a dozy) but I figured that I might as well go through the paces and do things the right way. So, allow me to begin: Hello. I am Alpha. It's a pleasure to meet you. I've been roleplaying for ages both on forums and via TTRPGs such as D&D, Pathfinder, Stars Without Number, and the like. I cut my teeth on science fiction and fantasy novels such as Ender's Game, Spearwielder's Tale, Lord of the Rings, the Eye of Minds, and the Inheritance Cycle. Star Trek > Star Wars in my eyes (Piccard > Kirk) but I'm largely bipartisan with that regard. I've finally seen Firefly so now I get why everyone likes it. Other hobbies include Warhammer 40K, Warmachine, Magic the Gathering, Star Craft, League of Legends, and writing things in general. Let's see how this cycle treats us, shall we?
