I don't know what I'm doing here

I'm a bit lost, but hey, this seems like a good place to start soooo

Hi. I'm relatively uninteresting. I go by Lark or Riv on the internet, but you can attach whatever nickname you want to me. I'm sort of an artist, by the loose interpretation of the word. I made my icon. I'm also an animation student and a band member. I really love marching band and am very sad next year will be my last season. I play flute and a bit of piccolo and bass flute, along with some trumpet (but I can only play, like, two notes on trumpet so idk if that counts for anything.) I'm 17, and am about to make it out of junior year alive (hopefully). I currently have a cat and a dog, along with a foster dog (my family fosters golden retrievers!), and I'm a fish keeper! I currently have a freshwater tank with some guppies, mollies, a (very cute) albino dwarf pleco and a fallowella catfish I've started calling Squiggles (they're rare!). I love animals, and my favorites are big cats, wolves, and weird looking fish.

Meh, as for things I like, I'm currently on book seven of Wheel of Time, and I'm enjoying it so far. However, as much as I love Jordan, Brandon Sanderson is my favorite author. I love his work, so much. SO much. too much. i need to be stopped ahem
I also love Star Trek and Parks and Recreation.

Roleplay... I have a character in mind but she needs some fleshing out, it'll be Avyra. My small fireball. I've done a few smaller Wheel of Time rps with her (which didn't last for long nor are there many people who want to do WoT rps, y'all are so bloody hard to find) and I already enjoy her. She'll need a Warder.
I tend to, technique wise, type up whatever someone gives me. So, if you give me 20 lines of post, I'll probably reply with about 20 lines in my own post. Third person past tense, always. I've been rping for about four or five years now.
(edit) oh wait, forgot to add, I haven't been involved in too many group rps as of late (most intimidate me beyond belief) so this might be very rusty.

Well, I should leave because I SHOULD BE writing a 2500 word rhetorical case study for english (bleh), so with that being said, I'm out. Nice to meet you all, and I hope to get Avyra finalized so I can join soon!

Oh, and I'll leave you with some of my artwork before I go. rip (my deviantart is larkoftheriver if anyone wants to go look at more, for some reason. the link is in my signature)

Welcome to the Grey Tower, Lark! I LOVE your artwork! You have a really cool style. :)

And, yes. We are hard to find. Had I not followed someone here, I'm not sure I would have found this place. xD

If you need someone to teach your novice an OPB class, let me know. :) I have an Accepted that needs the character development. :lol:

Welcome! I know the struggle of finding sustainable WoT RP. It ebbs and flows, but commitment is key. :D

I have a Soldier, so if you're interested in RPing, just shoot me a PM and we can work something out, I think.

Thank you! I'm sorta still figuring out my style, mainly trying to push for more dynamic character poses. Should be interesting.

Yeah, most of the sites I'm on have a small body of WoT fans, which is sad. I've been itching to do an rp for some time now but have been hit with the "oh no, I'm in a fandom nobody knows about!"
I'm not quite sure where I'll start Avyra off; I'm honestly thinking about tossing her in as an Accepted, but some Novice training might do her good for character development (and my own lack of knowledge of the lore y'all got going on here).

I would love to meet your soldier! I'll shoot you a pm once I'm a good way done with this essay.
Which I haven't started.
Oh boy.

Hi Avyra, welcome to Grey Tower!

Did you submit a character application already? I am not seeing a new one, and I am concerned that our form might be malfunctioning.

Nope, not yet. I'll have one in by next weekend, hopefully.

Whatever ends up happening is cool. :) Even if they just meet up in a random thread, it's okay. Can't wait to see what you come up with! Welcome again! :D

Welcome Avyra! I'm so happy to see a new novice/Accepted. I was in marching band in high school and also played the flute. It has been five, almost six years... time goes by so quickly. Enjoy it while it lasts. :)

And your art is really cool!

Thanks for all the welcomes, ahha

Flute is so much fun, save for the nagging "I need to practice" feeling forever and ever. Because I don't practice. I am in low band. Not that I truly care, I got a solo and piccolo last year because the lower band directors are really chill.

In any case, a question regarding the rp here. How do I jump in, once I finish my character form?
