Greetings. You may call me Ari. I'm 21+ and use She/her or They/them pronouns. I will post five things about me and a writing example at the end of the post.
I'm new to playing by post, but I'm excited to try it out. However, I'm unsure where to start. I found this place because of Reddit. I'm more comfortable with the DND 5e system, but eager to learn more, so if you're okay with a newbie, I'm happy to do one-shot or short games to try it out.

Five Facts
• I can certainly post once a day, and some days more frequently. I'm a more "serious" player but I also enjoy the inside jokes and funny moments. I'm hoping to be a game master after getting some experince under my belt. I also am against generative AI and only use a spellchecker in my posts.
• I have a lot of cats—three to my name—and more living in my household. I will babble endlessly about them and their exploits if welcomed to.
• I'm full of fun facts and weird knowledge. I love learning new things and try to broaden my horizons when I can. So feel free to teach me about your interests.
• I spend most my time with my family and pets and have little to no friends. I'd like to change that.
• I'm someone who says labels are ever-changing and personality tests are inaccurate, but let's be honest, their pretty dang fun. I fall under the neurodivergent, spoonie, and panromantic asexual labels. I also am zodiac signs Ares and The Goat, and my MBTI is INFJ.


~Writing Example~
Prompt: You stand at an entrance of a cave with a sleeping guard. What do you do?


Laddie couldn't help but stare momentarily at the sleeping kobold. They had to bite their lip to stop the snickers from escaping as they noticed the drool on the kobold's snout. "If the other members of this bandit group are like their guard, this hopefully won't be too difficult," Laddie thought gleefully.
Laddie still sneakily crouched and went around the guard into the mouth of the cave. "Still, a sleeping guard doesn't mean their aren't traps, and the others are like bulls in a china shop," Laddie thought as their mind trailed to the last time they had to check for traps. Laddie involuntarily shuddered at the thought before lightly tapping their cheeks to help regain their focus. "Welp," Laddie thought as they drew their dagger, "Here we go."
