So, this is somewhat delayed but I feel that now is a good time as any to introduce myself. This is going to be rather long, so I apologize in advance.
Hello everyone! I am new to these parts and hope that I can become known in this amazing community! I play a Coast Havener named Albert Augustine Aegeus, a somewhat theatrical, yet surprisingly cynical Healer with a massive sweet tooth. You’ll know who he is when you see the guy walking around handing out candy (usually lollipops).
It’s a bit nerving having the responsibilities to aid others as they role-play screaming in pain, but in due time I think I’ll get used to it and know how to handle those situations. Despite that, it has been a blast even providing small contributions so I’m excited for the events to come.
I’m not sure which direction I will go in the future though. I was thinking entering the Physician and Priest professions for support, but I find myself interested in getting a weapon to keep myself safe. I know it says that healers feel the pain of others, so how would one go about learning how to deal with that? Are there many Healers who fight in game? Do you have to go through a special ordeal or trial, or can you just incorporate this aspect in a background? As vague as the information I have is, if any other Healers could share their experiences on how they progressed or any tips on what to avoid I would appreciate it.
I also have no clue which land to vassal in, but that will be something I have to explore on my own.
With that said, here is a list of some interesting facts about me:
1. I found this place through friends: Yep, my friend Gina (Arden) and Christine (Mirwen) told me about KR and giving in, I finally decided to join. So if there is someone you would like to thank, or beat up (your choice) then it’s thanks to them that I can be a part of this community. Not the most important fact of information, but I thought it would be nice to share.
2. Albert is my second character: My first event back in October I decided to play a Kormyrian Wild Mage named Rhys. You could more or less say that my first character was sort of a test run. I lost interest in playing him after I found how frustrating it was to be at the mercy of the game when it came to choosing spells, and also how simple it was to cure amnesia (which killed my backstory). So after much thought I decided to change my character into the healer I hope you will all know very well.
3. I used have bias thoughts regarding LARP: Yes, I know. It sounds crazy, but I can assure you that I have changed my views. After hearing others talk of Knight Realms, and attending the event in October, I can safely say that wow, my mind was blown away! The battles were so intense and realistic that I often found myself staring in awe. And all the well designed costumes and unique people, I was just amazed. Needless to say, I obviously don’t feel the same way as I did before, and I do feel a bit silly for thinking in such a way (actually I feel a whole lot of silly).
4. I tend to speak what is on my mind: Banana.
5. I am a sassy black woman trapped in a white boy’s body: Or so people say. *sassy finger snap*
6. This is the first time I've been happy in a while: Seriously. Emotionally, I have not been as well as I should be. The people I've associated with for years have not had a positive effect on my self-esteem. They've made me feel useless and unworthy of happiness because of their bitterness toward others. I can’t count how many times I've missed felt jealous toward others and lost out on experiences. But going to KR… I've had more fun with strangers than those I've known for years. An awkward thing to admit, but I’m grateful I could partake in this wonderful experience. I don’t mean to get all melodramatic and sappy, but I want to thank you all so much, even the people that I did not get the chance to chat with. I really appreciate it and I hope in the future I can influence all of you in a positive manner as well.
Well that, as they say, is that. A bit long for an introduction, so I apologize for the wall of text. Hope we can get acquainted with one another! Thank you!
~Albert
