Salutations!
Obuzeti's a bit of a misnomer - it's the name of the first character I laid down in SRP here, and I just named the profile that out of a lack of better ideas - he was a Croatian maenad (a creature of wine and dance and revelry) and the name means simply "grip" in the language native there. I can't remember exactly why I picked it, but at least 50% of it likely was that it sounded cool, and some was probably that I didn't expect to be around this site that long.
Well, that's fallen through, so I might as well leave a more complete footprint, now.
Calling me by my screenname works, but I've alternatively gone by Vagrant and Gleam elsewheres on the net and still do, and they fit more comfortably to the tongue. I exist completely here on the SRP boards and have never posted anywhere else, because I don't particularly care about real-life hookups or making my political opinions known, and those seem to be the two driving forces around the rest of the board (but again, I wouldn't know, would I?)
I've stayed here because it's so free to write whatever you want - the main concern is relative privacy, and there's mods to boot out people that join unawares, which are unmatched treasures in the multitude of roleplay boards I've been across, and that's been a lot. After a whole lot of time wasting energy with face claims and avatars and signatures, I'm very happy to be left to just putting words on a page instead of assorted other nonsense. Don't expect pictures. Getting better at surfing Pinterest doesn't hold my interest.
Likewise, I'm very communicative, and I figure out very quickly whether I like a thread or not. If I don't, then I don't linger, because wasting everyone's time with a half-ass effort is insulting to anyone involved.
On the other hand, I've struggled with chronic depression and PTSD for a very long time, and that's led me to float off from some threads I've loved dearly. I don't think I've ever properly apologized for those times, and it's too late to say much about it by now.
My active threads, at the moment, are long-running storylines with CurtailedAmbrosia, who is a lady of unimpeachable talent and grace. To be honest, I could write unto forever with her alone and be just fine with that; I've been writing roleplays for a decade and a half and never met someone so easy to work with and talented as her. I hope everyone on these boards, eventually, finds someone so perfect to write with, but from personal experience it's a right pain in the ass to do so.
I'm mostly using this thread to compile ideas I'd rather not give up, and give thanks to people who made me a better person around here; and maybe they'll see it and maybe they won't, but I'll have said it, and that satisfies me almost as much. There comes a point where your personal relief is not worth disturbing someone else again, and I'm long past that.
To everyone that's helped make me a person that I can love again: thank you.
To the people I work and write with: thank you.
To those I haven't yet: I hope to meet you soon.
This is Vagrant, and I'm hoping to leave anyplace I go a better place for having had me within it.
