All the better to see you with...

Post by *Lozy on Mon Sep 12, 2011 12:23 am

And Oh, what shiny teeth you have.
All the better to smile with.

Hello there, please do call me Lozy. I have just joined this site recently, in fact only a couple hours ago. I'm very excited to jump in. This seems like an interesting place. I understand it's a place for literate roleplaying, this I am truly excited and admittedly a little nervous. I'm not the best speller, though with modern technology like spell check you would never know the difference. But, along side of that, my grammar skills are sub-par, and slightly lacking in what they could be. I am working in a goal to change that. I'm in highschool, so I've got time to learn.

I have not been roleplaying as long as others I know. Only for around two to three years give or take. Most of that roleplaying has been conducted on a site called Tinierme (an adorable, but rather annoying site, I might add). It's becoming a little crowded with some illiteracy and cliche, unoriginal ideas. Not that I have anything better to spit out then over used crap, and not that I'm downing anyone. I still love the site, but I want to broaden my horizons. So, here I am. Take me!


(Now I have to go cause it's late and my butt hurts.)


Thank you, and this has been an introduction brought to you by
[center]Lozy.

Welcome to FoG, Lozy. Like Dax and Marcus said, please don't worry about a lack of experience or issues with grammar/spelling. I barely had any role-playing experience when I joined here, but everyone was very helpful and I improved quickly. I'm sure you'll find FoG a great place to sharpen your skills and get feedback from other writers. Enjoy your stay, and don't hesitate to ask me or any of the lovely staff members if you have any questions. We would be more than happy to help!

Thank you all very much for the warm welcoming. I am rather excited to start. Just last night I was looking over the Caligo Main Character Profile, thinking of all the things I could put there and everything.

I'm happy to be here, and again, thank you.

Actually I do have a few questions pertaining to Caligo. These are questions not addressed in FoG's Caligo section on the front page. I've looked, but I'm not sure if I've looked in the right places. Is there a FAQ on Caligo somewhere? Please, if there is, could someone link me to it. I would very much appreciate it.

Well, reading threw the "personal touch" section of FoG in Caligo, I realize that some of my questions might be unnecessary, but I'm kind of one of those people that likes guidelines.

Example one, I have a question about the technology. At first I thought of Caligo kind of like the Lost City of Atlantis. Have you ever seen the Disney animated movie? They have ancient technology, that is superior to our own, but is run much different as well. But, as a read some profiles, I became kind of unsure if that was the case, and a little confused.
The same could be said when I think of their clothing, weapons, ect.


Another question I had was about the ageing process. How does that go. Because it says that they age till they are thirty, and then stop ageing. At first I thought that meant they aged normally until they reach the age thirty, and do not age from their. But, then a saw Fate Foretold's Caligo Main Character and noticed that the age said "578 (appears to be in her mid 20's) so I was unsure how old physically and such I would make a character. Like if they were 40 would they look younger then 20 or even younger, or if I had a character that was 18, would they look 18 or like 10? These are the things I think about, cause, well I'm just crazy.

Thank you very much for taking my questions. Sorry if they have already be asked or addressed.

Welcome to the FOG, Lozy! cheers

Looks like most of the welcomes have already been done. Nevertheless, much of welcoming to you! Aww
Never fear, this is a great place to improve one's writing! Very Happy

As for Caligo, those questions might need Fate. I never really thought about the aging much before, since I have older characters. I do know, though, that a lot of Caligo is unstandardized, in character as well as out. It's intentionally somewhat disjointed to allow for some mystery and artistic license. Smile

Welcome to FoG, Lozy!

Don't worry about not having skills you feel are up to par. We're all here to help you become better because that's also what we want for ourselves. Improvement is definitely encouraged in these parts, and that fact that you want to improve is even better! We're all more than willing to be patient and to help. I like to think that my grammar is pretty good, personally, so if you have any grammatical questions, I can do my best to help. I think Kalon actually has pretty awesome grammar skills, too, so I'm sure he'll be available for questions along the same lines.


As far as Caligo goes, I have seen the Disney movie about which you're talking, and I loved it. However, it's a bit different. Clothing is pretty normal compared to what we wear now, but my impression is that it's mixed with futuristic and tribal-esque clothing as well. I'm pretty sure that one is open to interpretation.

I know what you mean about the aging until thirty confusion. However, I think I can answer this. All people of Caligo age like normal humans ((outsiders/drifters)) until they reach a certain age, and I'm under the impression that this is anywhere from twenty to thirty years for eternity. Caligoans don't all look the exact same age, but they never go beyond looking thirty unless their shade companion dies, in which case they'll age until they die.

I hope that helps!
