So, @Ulfra_Wolfe and her friends have been giving me my FIRST EVER introduction to role-playing games, and walked me through creating a character! Folks have been kinda surprised in the past that I've never done anything like DnD or even played any computer RPGs, even though I grew up right around when DnD was a big deal. I just...well, wasn't really allowed to have that sort of friend *eardroops* So it's exciting finally to get a chance.
@Ulfra_Wolfe oh, no, it was more that my mom thought games were stupid. she only wanted me getting into stuff that was grownup and respectable
@Ulfra_Wolfe I mean, I _did_ get into some of that stuff, but she was trying to get me to read Thomas Mann when I was like twelve, and you can imagine how well that worked out
@Ulfra_Wolfe that just seems really cool to me. kinda wish I'd had that chance, when I was younger and had so much easier a time reading big blocks of stuff :/ sort of hoping that it gets easier after I start HRT and my mind's working a bit better.
@Ulfra_Wolfe I know <3 just like my new hero that I know about thanks to @kel, and that's Dr. Alphys! (link: https://darkmagic-sweetheart.deviantart.com/art/Dr-Alphys-NERD-617913593) https://computerfairi.es/media/KWuny8yX4Doikc9HKzQ
we're gonna be doing a more or less modernistic setting with a dash of urban fantasy, and I created a young science / engineering whiz kid who's been in trouble with the law and ran away from home. Named her Julia Grignard. (yes I named her after the organic chemist. I name all my OCs after organic chemists.)
