<insert witty coment here>

I'm James (Xing), a lover of Japan in general. I'm a keen role player, as well as a lover of anime and manga. I'm a pretty good artist and an accomplished writer. I am currently just about to start my first 'full' novel, based around the life of Date Masamune, who I think was an inspirational leader as well as a fighter to rival some of the greatest Samurai of the 16th/17th Century.

I am, however, going through a disorder similar to Bipolar and have a tendency to clam up or lash out, but it's easier for me to deal with it in written form as I can just not type what may offend people, making social interaction via the interwebs easier for me.

Ja ne.

A roleplayer? That sounds nice, actually, I think you're the first one I met on these boards. Which games do you play?
Oh, my apologies for skipping the welcome, but you've been welcomed already, well, before me that is. : D

Youkoso he JREF forums ^_^

Well you've come to the right place if you love all things Japanese . Good luck with your book! I'm not much of a role player...if your talking about paper and pen games...or role playing in fiction. I'm a console RPGer ^^;

Enjoy your stay ^^

Thanks for all the welcomes!

I'm an avid role player in many aspects. Pen and paper (Dungeons and Dragons; Vampire; Werewolf; etc.), fictional and fan based role play (Stuff that is just made up and has no system) and MMORPGs (World of Warcraft; Guild Wars; etc.)

Although I'm also a big fan of games like Devil May Cry, Devil Kings, Dynasty/Samurai/Orochi Warriors and games along similar veins.

Oho, I love hack 'n' slash and mmo's as well, though Dungeons and Dragons ain't my thing.
Of the stuff I did, I loved World of Darkness the most (Which includes things like Vampire, Werewolf, Wraith, Hunter, Mummy, Kindred of the East, Changeling, Mummy, etc.), and i pretty much hate Shadowrun, honest no one can beat the d10 system WoD is based on.
Oh yeah, and in case you're similar with Chaos, well hate that too.
I only like the older Dante DMC episodes, where he's not acting ahmygawd uber kewl lol.
