Maybe not so little...
Behind the Username
I joined Gaia almost nine years ago because a group of my friends had discovered it and the joys of roleplaying. At the time I was just learning about anime, manga, roleplaying, and most of the things that fueled my (at the time, twelve year old) existence. One of my very dear friends introduced me to a little anime known as Fullmetal Alchemist. My brother and I absolutely loved it. From then on every website he joined, he would tote around the username of Ed_Elric with a few random numbers attached to the end. I had never had a username before, so I embraced what I knew. I'm his big sister, therefore Edsbigsister just seemed to fit - and long after my brother stopped using the username I continued to use what I knew.
Given that my name is not Ed, I have never been afraid of nicknames or words, so feel free to call me whatever you like. I have been called Ed, Sister, among many other names that have nothing to do with the username. I'm open to any name you see fit to give me - even if it is something like Alexandra or Daisy.
Interests
I'm a huge watcher of television and films. I'm actually studying art and film at university, so I am bordering on pro. So if you have a need for any recommendations just let me know. I'm also an artist. My focus is painting and drawing, but I am also a fan of graphic design. I wouldn't recommend checking into any of my old art shops as they are outdated and I have vastly improved from the older works. I'm working on rebuilding a new free art shop, but I was experimenting with vector art and am in the silly starting phases of it all. If you really want to check them out, that is fine too. As far as music goes, my current playlist is running a lot of God Help the Girl and Paul Simon (as always). Also, my favorite color is brown. Yes, I know that is a little uncommon.
Joining the SDRP
I enjoy roleplaying in Barton Town, but I am disappointed by the level of activity. I was hoping to find a community more committed to keeping up with posts. I was also hoping to find a place to extend my experience with long term collaborative writing as it is not as extensive as I would.
Roleplaying
I began roleplaying not long after I joined, but it took me a while to understand the concept. I got started because a few friends had become extremely in to this kind of storytelling. I personally had never tried it, and found that when I did I too was hooked. I started attempting to create my own in Barton Town, but they wouldn't survive for long as members would stop posting. I would try to keep it alive, but failed. I removed myself from Gaia for a few years when I moved to a new state and started at university. I have only recently returned and rather than creating new threads, I have attempted to join others and attempt to be the kind of player I wish I had when I was creating.
I will roleplay just about any genre if I find the initial story is interesting, but I prefer science fiction and fantasy. I also enjoy series-related roleplays, but I generally prefer when it consists of original characters in the pre-existing world over playing characters that were created for the series. My main concerns going in are where the potential for growth in characters is.

Nothing at the moment, but I'm looking...
