I had a feeling the character was going to be a dragon, dragon-human, or have dragon blood inside of them! Any particular type(s) of story you like to make for your characters.(Thriller, exciting, comedic.)

I don't think you can actually be a dragon in Pathfinder. If you're a sorcerer, you choose a lineage that affects your abilities and things, and I think choosing the dragon one is the only way to have any sort of dragon heritage or dragon abilities. But I'm hardly an expert, I might be wrong.

I mostly write fantasy/supernatural, sometimes verging into light-ish horror or sci-fi. I'm really not very good at it, though. I'm pretty good at coming up with ideas but horrible at putting them into words and turning them into interesting stories. I also like just testing out scenarios with my characters in my head. I have three stories I switch between right now, that eventually merge a bit.

I just tried to find the "search user" function to make sure of someone's username to say something nice about them in the appropriate topic here, and it said "No friends online, no friends offline."
Which made me laugh. Seems about right. :wink:

Wow, even the internet is a douchebag! Who knew computers that were programmed to only do certain things were so mean! :lol:

To D&D I like thinking up fantasy stories as well, I can't really work with sci-fi(not really tech savvy for it.)never tried horror. My hand writing is whack and I have a hard time filling in between the important parts of stories which is why I think not write. I guess they don't let you create a dragon because then said person would be WAY too overpowered! High HP, ATK, Armour. Decent magic(your breath has to hurt.) only thing you couldn't beat would be a ghost!

Hello, I seem to be unpopular on WP as well. I wouldn't mind too much - I'm plenty used to being ignored - except that I keep trying to ask for help with my depression and self-harm in The Haven, and I've had to flat-out say something about how I could really use some help multiple times to get any replies, which only makes me feel worse. I probably seem to complain a lot, but that's because this is really the only place I can, and I know I also tend to perseverate on things. It feels like only maybe two people care at all that I'm really struggling.

As for in person, I have what I call social invisibility. That is, it seems people see me (enough not to run into me or anything, at least), but they don't mentally acknowledge my presence. If I'm lucky, I may get a passing greeting, but that's it - immediately afterward, it's as if I don't exist. If I try to join a conversation, often people will just wait until I'm done and then go back to talking as if I hadn't said anything (if I'm lucky - most of the rest of the time, they talk over me before I'm even finished, and my voice isn't loud enough to be heard over them). People will even have very personal, private conversations with their very close friends when I'm right next to them, as if they forget that I'm there (many people in high school and college were lucky that I'd never even consider gossiping, even if I had anyone to tell things to - which I didn't).

I can relate to social invisibility, my high school was pretty much that, sometimes people forgot I was even in the classroom! I ask for advice and get nothing that really helps. In dungeons n dragons I'm master ninja because I can assassinate someone in public and people will still not notice me! :lol:

Want to be friends DnD. I never had a chance to play D&D, what was your experience like?(Well I did play a game similar with my brother but all he really likes to do is create characters and fight, which to me gets stale really fast. I like exploring, story, and character development.)

Sure, I'll be your friend

I haven't played Dungeons and Dragons or anything similar, but I think I'd enjoy it. I love to role-play and come up with stories on my own, and I think it would be more fun if I had someone to do it with. My brother helped me create a character for Pathfinder a few months ago, but we didn't end up actually playing before he went back to college, two hours away. My username is just what my two main obsessions were at the time I joined - it's a coincidence that it also happens to be D&D.

Dragonsanddemons:

I am glad to hear that you are doing better. It helps to communicate with people who care.

I'm new on this thread. I am never popular myself, and anyone who spends very long with me usually finds some reason to drift away, casual-like. Although I have a way with words and can be very engaging in conversation, everyone eventually realizes that we don't think in parallels, and that I am off at an odd angle to their own view of reality.

^In regards to social invisilbilty, I got that, and it seems to be close to a real thing. When I really want to blend in I picture a mental image of myself, as if I am made of glass and all the light shines through me, so that I'm just a thought floating in the air with no body, just breathing and observing. I assume it relates somehow to human psychology, such as that a relaxed person who is not thinking or moving much does not draw attention: whenever I do that people often fail to notice me even when I am right in front of them. It's a bit of a reflex at this point, and sometimes if I go out with people and wander around a little getting relaxed, people have left me entirely, forgetting I was there.

Wait what? I've been taking part in an unpopular popularity contest by being on this site? I really am losing touch. Oh wait, I was never in touch to begin with. Oh well

Welcome to this thread shadow.

Honestly I think every online forum becomes a popularity contest.

^Thank you Butterfly!
I intend to be the most unpopular person of all, thus securing my place at the pinnacle of unpopularity. :wink:

You do what you can with it, is what I reckon. Get to talking with whoever you want to as much as is reasonable, talk to plenty of people as you want to. There's no rush. :wink:

Tbh, I don't place a lot of importance on being "in touch" socially. It's hard enough to stay "in touch" with reality!

I'm unpopular all over today, just for pointing out what people are really doing - as I see it - and "calling" them on it instead of just giving them what they want without mentioning the subterfuge.
I can't communicate with people. I really cannot.

shadowself, I can’t help but notice that you are 1,936 years old. How much do you spend on birthday candles? I imagine it isn’t cheap.

Did you get so bored over the last century that you decided to try unpopularity?
