Hello! I'm Pens--not my actual name, but a handle I've chosen for various reasons. I'm in my late twenties, Canadian, and recently moved back to Canada after spending the last few years working abroad. I'm doing some online coursework for the next nine months or so to re-train in a medical field--I've had spots of work-experience in healthcare but nothing ever official, but found I enjoy the work. I have a BFA in Writing and Film Studies, and I currently work part-time around my study schedule.

As far as role-play goes, the majority of my gaming experience has been in historical games, with some set in fictionalized historical contexts. I'm definitely a history buff, but there is something appealing in modern games, too. I've ventured into a modern-era RPG for the first time last year, but it didn't end up suiting on the plot-front. I think I play a fairly even split between men and women, and I'm not particularly picky about plots as long as they're realistic to the characters--and I always enjoy exploring hidden depths to their stories. My gif is of Quinn King from UnReal because she's terrible and I love her. (If you haven't watched UnReal, go do it now. Right now.)

Anyway, pleased to be here, pleased to know you.

Aw man. The last historical RP I was in/ran was a Beatles themed one and you have me missing it with this post

I've never heard of Unreal but I'll be sure to check it out.

Welcome to the site!

UnReal is my latest obsession. It's basically a behind-the-scenes drama on a fictionalized version of The Bachelor and it's dark and mean and all about getting in the viewing audience, no matter the human cost. Which makes me feel like some of the character-types would fit in beautifully, here!

Season one promo!

Season two had it's hit and miss moments, but overall I'm still hooked and Constance Zimmer was nominated for an Emmy for her role as Quinn King, ruthless producer.

Hello, fellow Canadian! Which province/territory, if I may ask? :^)

Hey, opposite coaster~ I'm from Onterribleario but go to school out in Nova Scotia.
B.C is beautiful, I envy that you get the ocean AND the mountains. A lot of my family is out there around Surrey but we don't visit often, unless we're going skiing, haha.

Ooooh I once spent, like, half an hour in Amherst, N.S.? Before we drove back to New Brunswick. It was really pretty! I've got a friend who lives in Halifax, now (former Ontarian, too, but I don't hold that against anyone. My sister did her masters at York and she briefly supported the Maple Leafs, I'm so ashamed of her,) but I do need to see more of the east coast!

I've been skiing once and it was a disaster (they rented me boots that were too small) so I'm very much the seaside sort of person. Born on the mainland, but parents are both from the Island and we moved back when I was young, so I consider myself From the Island. (On a call with customer service yesterday and she was like "oh, where in Canada, may I ask?" and I said "Vancouver Island" and she went "ooooh Vancouver!" ...if I had a dime for every person who has done that to me... )
