I decided to post this here since I have been role playing with a few but really wanted to get to know people better.

IRL general stuff:
I am a Supervisor at a small bank, went to and graduated college, living on my own for about three years now. Had a roommate for one of those years.

NON-RL Stuff:
I have gmed quite a few different games over the last 8 years and rarely have been a player. I like video games to some degree but I prefer writing.

I have met with a publishing agency but have not moved much beyond submitting samples and speaking to a coach.

So with this bit of background I guess I can start the AMA.

What's your favorite color?


You have GM'd over the last 8 years, but how long have you been writing?


Favorite roleplaying genre?


Cats or Dogs?


If you suddenly received 1,000,000 dollars, what would you do?

In order my good sir;

Orange

Writing has been most of my life, however formally with a publisher has been the last 5 months.

Probably Fantasy or Gothic Horror

Dogs since I am sadly deathly allergic to cats.

The lame thing and invest it, so I can just write and never do a “real” job again.

I now turn your questions back to you! What would you say to those questions?

My most favorite color is red

I've been writing for around 10 years

Sci-fi

Probably cats

I'd probably give the money to my parents

-

Would you rather fight 10 duck sized horses, or 1 horse sized duck?

If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life(And you wouldn't have to worry about nutrition or anything like that), what would it be?

What's your favorite movie?

Okay this is hard but I honestly think the 1 horse sized duck mainly due to me being afraid of horses. I have no diea why but I get so scared near them and 10 small ones would freak me out. Plus better chance at a 1v1 then a 1v10.

As weird as it may sound, Ramen *Not instant cooked but semi decent Ramen. I like soups.

Favorite movie is hard but I think Emperor's new Groove is probably my favorite. I am not a huge movie person though. As a bonus my favorite book is Name of the Wind. It is my inspiration to write.

What about you?

Solid choice.

Do you prefer to wake up early or go to bed late?

Why not both!?

Sleep is for the weak : 3

If you never had the need to sleep again, what would you do with all that extra time?

@infraredHero

So sorry I missed this, honestly I would write so much more and maybe take night classes. I would hope to be productive with it. What about you?

Favorite flavor of Doritos?
why that User name?

So i am one of the few bizarre individuals who hate Doritos and not because of the flavor but because of how damn messy they are. In terms of flavor probably ranch but ehh.

Kortaga came about when I was young and in junior high and my friend and I started to play Phantasy Star Online for the Game cube. We were at the name your character page and never had a gamer tag or anything since those did not exist back them. So my friend said slap the keyboard like this hiueqnbfw and then said replace some of the letters with vowels. So Hiuequn would be what it would become. leaving it a nice seven characters.

So now my name is Kortaga and I always say Welcome to the Court when people join my rpgs.

But now Merry I must ask you these questions in return and to add my own. Why the Siren / Mermaid?

Merry

Interesting.... ranch is one of my favorites as well, and I totally agree with you about the messy part! :)

thanks for the name background!

I love Mermaids... the ocean, deep and unexplored for So much of the world.. dark and mysterious, it could hold anything! They are beautiful and sensual and deadly. What's not to love? -grin-

since this is your question thread - blue or red?

Kortaga

I actually really enjoy playing characters with certain disabilities. I.E. A Siren who cannot talk so they do not influence others. So I am a huge fan myself.

I will always pick Blue. Calm, collect.

What about your name Merry and back at you with Red or Blue. To keep a conversation going are there any other character traits that you like for my example Mute characters. Do you have quirks or themes you like to keep together or find fun?

You find a dinky old lamp, give it a polish... poof, here's a genie to give you three wishes! What are you wishing for?

Kortaga

For my first wish,

I wish that I, at time of my choosing and for the duration of my choosing, could have the super powers and abilities of any fictional superhero I intentionally select, those powers manifesting themselves in the real world and under my full control, without my ever coming to any personal harm (physical, mental or emotional), deprivation of liberty or inconvenience as a result, and for that to begin now and continue for as long as I desire it to continue.

I wish to live in the locations of my choice, in a physically healthy, uninjured, and apparently normal version of my current body containing my current mental state, a body which will heal from all injuries at a rate three sigmas faster than the average given the medical technology available to me, and which will be protected from any diseases, injuries or illnesses causing disability, pain, or degraded functionality or any sense, organ, or bodily function for more than ten days consecutively or fifteen days in any year

and finally

I wish for the Genie to be free but powerless and completely mortal leading a regular and mundane life filled with small happiness that would never have to do with me ever again in any fashion and would never under any type of communication let anyone or anything what I wished for or what I was now capable of.

I am a firm believer that Genies are not Robin Williams and super cruel and evil at heart.
So yea I over thought this to an unhealthy level.

What about you G what do you secretly dream of?
