| 1 | Greetings and welcome. |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Russian, 24 years old, in the middle of quarter-life crisis (looking for job, skills of a someone fresh from college, little to no direction in life). Have a great (but, for some unknown reason, purely theoretical) interest for role-playing games. Also enjoy reading (both fantasy and educational), and western {{CRPG}}s. Like horse-riding (despite being bad at it), singing and playing guitar (despite being '''very''' bad at it). Prefer the works which are more idealistic than cynical and more funny than serious. Not that I mind an occasional {{Tearjerker}} or two. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Like {{spoiler}}s, {{Knights in Shining Armour}}, {{Trickster}}s and {{Eldritch Abomination}}s (because everything is better with an Eldritch Abomination, right?). Hate {{Downer Ending}}s and {{Crapsack World}}s. |
| 6 | Added a few examples here and there, but no new pages, being way too shy to do that. Perhaps it'll change one day. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Oh, and I am not good at describing myself, so - feel free to add anything you deem appropriate. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | '''When I do decribe myself, I think of the following:''' |
| 11 | |
| 12 | * {{Meganekko}} |

| 25 | * SarcasticDevotee |
| 26 | * BerserkButton / SingleIssueWonk depending on how serious it gets - While normally I tend to place mercy higher than justice, 3 things - rape, slavery and bullying - make me reconsider |
| 27 | * EthicalHedonist - what I am trying to be, even though the degree of success varies |
| 28 | * {{Sidekick}} - and loyal one as that |
| 29 | * DirtyCoward |

| 177 | |
| 178 | * IncorruptiblePurePureness - It is something this one wants to believe in. That it is possible to remain a good person, no matter that the world throws at you. |
| 179 | * DarkIsNotEvil - Because it isn't |
| 180 | * DefiantToTheEnd |
| 181 | * DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu |
| 182 | * DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu - Both of these two are nice in their own ways |
| 183 | * HonourBeforeReason - This, too, is something this one wishes to believe. That principles should not be cast aside the moment they become inconvenient. That the ends do not justify the means. |
| 184 | * IGaveMyWord |
| 185 | * WorthyOpponent - Just because you happen to be enemies does not mean that you can't both be fairly decent creatures |
| 186 | * FriendlyEnemy - And it does not mean that you can't be fond of each other (not nessesary in [[FoeYay this way]]) |
| 187 | * TooSpicyForYogSothoth |
| 188 | * PityTheKidnapper |
| 189 | * PlayAlongPrisoner |
| 190 | * HeelFaceTurn - Again, something this one wished to believe. |
| 191 | * LimaSyndrome - But not the [[StockholmSyndrome Stockholm]] one, unless it's mutual |
| 192 | * MadeASlave - Not with HappinessInSlavery, though. |
| 193 | * PowerOfTrust - And all the assotiated tropes, like KillMeNowOrForeverStayYourHand |
| 194 | * TalkingTheMonsterToDeath - Hey, sometimes it's more fun than beating them up with a heavy object |
| 195 | * NobleDemon |
| 196 | * AFatherToHisMen |
| 197 | * FirstPersonSmartass - Preferred mode of narration |
| 198 | * GoodIsNotDumb - Wish that more authors understood that |
| 199 | * ScheherezadeGambit |
| 200 | * GuileHero |
| 201 | * MinionWithAnFInEvil - They're so adorable |
| 202 | * MajorInjuryUnderreaction |
| 203 | * CasualDangerDialog |
| 204 | * IOweYouMyLife |
| 205 | * HumansAreCthulhu - Well, we are |
| 206 | * HumansThroughAlienEyes - Because being "normal" is subjective |
| 207 | * EnemyMine - (sigh) Ep, yep, this one likes some strange relationships with enemies |
| 208 | * FireForgedFriends - The only true kind |
| 209 | * LovecraftLite |
| 210 | * And, of course, [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Crowning Moments of Awesome]], [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Heartwarming]], [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Funny]], [[{{Badass}} Badasses]] and masters of [[XanatosGambit Xanatos Gambits]], but hey, who doesn't? |

| 216 | * Beholderess is wonderfully literate and a fine addition to the Tropers. -- {{Tropers/Morven}} |
| 217 | * {{The Sims}} does indeed look out of place in that list. I'm also surprised and pleased to see that there are people who have the ability to remain WideEyedIdealist while knowing of FATAL. {{Tropers/WUE}} |
| 218 | ** (blushes) Thank you! Well, I've mentioned that I am both idealist and Nightmare Fetishist=) These things do mix, though I wouldn't drink the resulting coctail=) |
| 219 | * [[GratuitousRussian Draszt Vuy Tyeh]]! I'm pretty sure I romanized that wrong, Hi! :D |
| 220 | * -poke- I ship you with Noimporta, for the record -poke- {{Tropers/AHR}} |
| 221 | ** Not sure if I should be horryfied or flattered... (flips coin) Ok, flattered it is! |
| 222 | * I do my best for those I feel need it. ;) - @/{{Keybreak}} |
| 223 | * Poke my EYE! Poke it! -@/{{SenatorAwesomePants}} |
| 224 | ** Which one, I wonder? |
| 225 | * Finally a troper that shows no signs, not even a trace, of cynicism or bitterness. It's nice to see :) --{{@/Outta The BLAM}} |
| 226 | ** Oh, I can be bitter sometimes, though Itry not to be. Still, thank you. |
| 227 | * Godot Was Here. |
| 228 | * You are saying that its weird to be WideEyedIdealist and NightmareFetishist same time? YOU MUST DIE!!!(Just kidding~ But seriously saying, I like creepy stuff and I'm pretty idealistic, though I try to be more cold when the subject of discussion is 'controversial', but I don't see how it is weird to be those at same time, they aren't really related to each other.) -@/{{Spooky Mask}} |
| 229 | ** Well, some people think that idealism involves rabbits. This one doesn't know of a reason why it shouldn't involve tentacles too=)) And I wish I could keep myself cold sometimes |
| 230 | *** When you think about it, person who can imagine even things that are considered by 'normal' people are 'creepy' as good things, that person would be more positive than person who would find fluffy animals cute, but scream at sight of spider :) |
| 231 | * You said you'd miss me if I left for a couple of days. EGO = STROKED. Thanks, ~Hungry Joe |
| 232 | ** You're more than welcome |
| 233 | * Your views of villians is interesting. I think you just gave me some ideas for my story, thank you. ~Pvtnum11 |
| 234 | ** That is unexpected, but I am very glad. |
| 235 | * A fellow Slav arrives with an offering of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADRoRlR6W4o war hamster of Chelyabinsk]]! ~[[@/LordGacek Gacek]] |
| 236 | ** Aww, I hope that little one is not ill. If it is healthy, though - then I know now where [[BaldursGate Boo]] comes from! Thank you. |
| 237 | *** Gacek again, I just realised you seem to be more LawfulGood than LawfulNeutral. - [[@/LordGacek G.]] |
| 238 | **** You flatter me. I am nowhere near LawfulGood, I'm afraid. Quite selfish, in fact. But still thank you. |
| 239 | * Однако, как могу избежать шанс написать на стене коллеги русского языка? -{{Tropers/Morgulion}} |
| 240 | ** Добро пожаловать, очень рада |
| 241 | *** А что, собственно, всё это обсуждение делает тут? Почему не на странице обсуждения? -- Tropers/{{Sikon}} |
| 242 | * You're awesome, so I'm gonna scrawl a heart right...here ♥ -@/{{Pykrete}} |
| 243 | ** Thank you! And please accept my apologies for the late answer. |
| 244 | * Beholeress is utterly amazing and a genuinely good person even though she doesn't seem to think so. Plus, she speaks in a very cool way. - {{Tropers/Diamonnes}} |
| 245 | ** Thank you. You are too kind. |
| 246 | * [[@/{{sgrunt}} This one]] is vandalising this page. |
| 247 | ** Looks like verbal tics are virulent. Beware! |
| 248 | * You're one of the sweetest people I see here. :) - @/{{Bellacide}} |
| 249 | ** Thank you (blushes) |
| 250 | * You're a very nice person. - {{Tropers/Exploder}} |
| 251 | ** This one is not nice but she is trying. Still, thank you. |
| 252 | * Я не говорю по-русский так хорошо, но меня просто нужно написать это по-русскому. Ты классная. - {{Tropers/MilosStefanovic}} |
| 253 | ** Огромное спасибо! Я очень ценю это |
| 254 | * I appreciate reading your posts. Partly because they're always well thought out, and partly because the combination of how you write, your current avatar, and your previous avatar give me this mental image of a chronically shy hanar hiding behind a pillar on the Citadel and offering quiet opinions on world issues and ethics. Too moe for words. - @/RadicalTaoist |
| 255 | --> ''...Th-this one...goes by the...by the title of Hanarshy...if you'd be kind enough to call her that....thanks...'' |
| 256 | ** (blushes)This one is flattered. Thank you |
| 257 | ** See, that's ''exactly'' what I'm talking about! The image comes to mind immediately, and I don't even think hanar can blush! |
| 258 | * I've read some of your posts on the forums. They're very interesting and, as Taoist said, very well thought-out. You seem quite nice too! :D - {{Tropers/Ventisia}} |
| 259 | * [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvS351QKFV4 MOSKAU, MOSKAU!]] :D - Tropers/MidnightRambler |
