Intro Post
General
I am Gore (actual name John) and I am just some dude in my mid-20s living with my family in northern New Jersey in the USA. My timezone is EST.
- I am also a living mass sentience of puns, dad jokes and gagtags.
- I've been working as a cashier in a grocery store for several years. My shifts are primarily in the afternoon, and my RPing is pretty much one and off at varying paces pretty much whenever I'm not working or otherwise preoccupied.
- My main passion is fictional writing, which I primarily put into RP. Most of my hobbies are typical indoor nerd ones: playing video games, watching tv/movies/anime, reading comics/manga/books. I also like to play around with voicework, and I've done several voices for LPs done by my friend and fellow RPer Taisa.
- I don't really plurk about RL that much. Most things are pretty uneventful, or I forget what I was thinking of relating by the time I get around to plurk, and I usually keep any venting I have to myself or more private channels. Most of my plurks are occasional greeting plurks (usually when I get home from work) and RP/fandom things.
- I have also been attending cons. I went to NYCC for a few years in a row, and I've also attended nearly every Otakon and Katsucon since Otakon 2013 with a group of friends I made through Luceti. My only cosplay so far is Detective Gumshoe from Ace Attorney.
Canons
At the moment, the canons I'm most actively into are Steven Universe and Dangan Ronpa.
- Other canons that rank high among my favorites, although some of them have faded into the background over time: Avatar: The Last Airbender/The Legend of Korra, Fullmetal Alchemist (Manga/Brotherhood), Ace Attorney, Gravity Falls, Naruto and the DC Animated Universe (the one that ended with JLU).
- A big ol' list of other canons I enjoy or have enjoyed to various degrees: Adventure Time, Angel Beats, Attack on Titan, Blue Exorcist, Boy / Girl Meets World, Breaking Bad, Community, DC Comics and various adaptations (the above-mentioned DCAU plus Brave and the Bold and Young Justice), Digimon Adventure (only fulled watched 01/02/Tri), various Disney/Pixar movies, Durarara!! (left off somewhere about halfway through the first part of the second series), Earthbound, Fire Emblem (I haven't touched Awakening and beyond yet), FLCL, Futurama, Harry Potter, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Kid Icarus, Kill la Kill, Legend of Zelda, Marvel Comics and various adaptations (Spectacular Spider-Man, X-Men Evolution and some of the MCU most prominently), Metroid, The Office, One Piece (fell behind years ago and never got back on the horse), Ouran High School Host Club (still have to try the manga...), Persona 3 (I'm still on TheGrinding Answer), Pokemon, Parks and Recreation, Princess Tutu, Professor Layton, RWBY, ReBoot, Rick and Morty, Scrubs, Sonic the Hedgehog (haven't touched the games in years; was big into the Archie comic version and Satam when I was younger), Star Fox, Star Wars, Scott Pilgrim, Super Mario + Donkey Kong series, Tales of series (only finished Symphonia, Abyss and Xillia 1 so far), Venture Bros., Yuri on Ice.
- Some other canons that I started but have to get back to include Gintama, My Hero Academia, Pandora Hearts and Twin Peaks.
RP History
My history of writing things on the internet starts in the early 00s, when I took part in these forum-based stories known as OnGoing Stories. They're like spin-a-yarn stories in forum thread form, and they were all over the place in terms of quality and originality. They were alive for around a decade, and even formed a convoluted set of multiple timelines, although our community was very small and dwindled down to nothing over the years. However, there were some online friends who I first through the OGs who would later also be part of the world of DWRP: Masa and Sapphire, the former of whom was my gateway to journal RP in general.
-The name 'Gore' originates from when I first joined the video gaming forums where the OGs were hosted. As a preteen who was in a capslock phase, I thought 'GORE-ILLA' would be a cool handle. ...And over the years it condensed down to just 'Gore'.
-My first journal RP stint was in 2007, when Masa was recruiting people to join a new RP game he was starting, Subspace RP, based on the story mode of the then-upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl (we OGers were primarily united by being Nintendo trash at the time). The first character I tried was Geno from Super Mario RPG, although I quickly bored of playing him and came to realize that stoic characters don't work well for me. The game had a very small player base that never really grew and no activity requirements, so the character limit kept on raising until I had 10+ characters, although they weren't especially active. Some of the characters I played included Hector from Fire Emblem (the old man version from FE6), Cranky Kong, Midna, Captain Falcon (a ridic over-the-top version based on his Smash Bros. mannerisms) and Giovanni. The game lasted about a year before it died out, and then I returned to focusing on OGs until they died out too.
-With the decline of the OGs over the years, that eventually led to me missing RP and wanting to give it another try. I did manage to find out through other online friends that both Masa and Sapph were at a place called Luceti. And after like a year of missing app cycles and going back-and-forth on the decision, I finally entered the world of DWRP by apping Aang into Luceti in March 2012. I had freshly rewatched Avatar in preparation for Korra, and I thought it would be easiest to ease into RP with a castmate for Masa's Sokka. After a period of considering Iroh, I thought of Aang, and his personalty wound up being very fun, refreshing and easy to play with, which helped me to settle into the game and build up investment in RP. Luceti was my home game for its last three years, and Aang was my main muse for that time period.
-I started trying out new games on the side with Haven in 2014. With Luceti's end, Cerealia became my next home game, with Rock Lee becoming my next main muse while my Aang muse quietly inched towards retirement. Now that Cerealia has ended as well, Empatheias is my new home game.
