Hello everyone! I'm Derp Detective. I popped into the cbox a couple of times prior my joining, and I appreciate all the warm welcomes and help that I received from members each time. I'm one of the many wonderful oddballs of our beautiful earth. I'm 19 and doing online university studies. I've been RP'ing since I was 13 maybe 14 and I want to be a writer. I'm from Western Australia in... well... Australia. I love my country and I love travelling it. I have moved around a lot growing up, but not as much as some people, so I have had the pleasure of travelling my home country several times. I like reading and gaming and dragons are my favourite mythological creatures. I have a pet dog named Chloe who I call the food bandit because she's only interested in food. Or love, but mostly food. She's a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel crossed with a Poodle. I love the medieval period, Greek Mythology and Roman History. I have over a hundred characters, and I have over 30 projects in the works. I have many different sides to my personality and sometimes it confuses people. For example I trust people too easily, yet I take time to trust people. I'm genuinely happy, but it covers more than just that. And I have such a strong affinity with my characters that sometimes I talk to them as if they were with me. And oddly enough, I get advice back, just in a way that no one understands.

I have many habits that will help to understand me, such as tilting my head when I'm confused or thinking, or processing information, you can usually tell which is which. I stutter or go oddly silent when I'm nervous, uncomfortable or in a semi-okay mood (sometimes I might just be busy replying and doing things, but I'll usually say if this is the case). I use caps and shout when I'm excited (or I'll repeat someone's name over and over), I try not to spam, but sometimes it happens accidentally, either due to train of thought or excitement. I usually use emojis too, which is a good way to tell what mood I'm in. "xD" usually marks a joke, me laughing, or something amusing, "^^" Is me being happy and chill, "c:" is me being thankful, is my "it's okay" emoji and "^^;" is me derping or understanding something after a long conversation of me being confused (in other words it's my apologetic emoji). I also respond with "Oh" when I'm not sure how to feel about something, usually meant in a light-hearted manner and is not really used as the dawning of understanding something such is the case with other people.

Hopefully we can all get along.

Sincerely,
Your Neighbourhood Aussie Oddball,
Derp Detective

P.S Derp, DD or Detective is cool to use if you don't like typing out long usernames. c:

Hey there Derp, welcome to the site! :D I've caught you in the cbox but a few times, but man is this a helpful introductory thread.

A hundred characters is a hell of a lot, but I suppose if I counted out every character I've made since I started, that'd probably be near what I have over time... Do you keep track of them all using Charahub or Toyhouse or something, or just track them all individually? I know some people have absolutely crazy organized word documents with them all!

Hey there Thoth! I'm glad my intro is helpful. ^^

I have more than a hundred and I'd have a lot more if I remembered every character I had from growing up, but my memory is not that great. xD I keep a digital list on word and a physical copy of my characters in alphabetical order with a brief of their species, personality (usually one or two words) and what story they're in. Some have things set in stone so I try not to use those charries on rp boards because changing things. xD But I do use them consistently in private rps with friends and when I do use them on RP boards, I try out different things and use RP as a way of testing out ideas and developing characters both old and new. So I sort of do both. I track them individually (depending on what project I pick up when) or grouped (all characters from one set) and altogether. Usually grouped or individual tracking is done with the planning of each project as I'm always planning even if I'm writing that story alongside the plan, so I'm always updating and changing things around.
