I was introduced to the world of role-playing (RPG) by a friend in college.  For the sake of privacy I will call him WT.  He was introduced to me by JN, one of my best friends from college.  Talking about this really makes me reminisce about the old days.

My introduction to the world of gaming started during one of the many parties WT gives.  Little did I know that WT's party was a conglomeration of gamers. My BWC* friends & I were intrigued by this pen & paper game and we decided to try it out.  Out of the 5 girls that tried it, I was the only one that stuck to it.

Most of the gamers were male and they were kind enough to help us girls generate our character. My character's stats are mostly created by WT or one of the other guys since they are more familiar with the game system. I am more interested in the story.

My very first character was a Shadowrun Elf. I think her name was Galadriel. I have forgotten exactly what archetype she was but I do remember she had mental powers, some sort of Jean Grey, most probably an elf mage. As far as I can remember having mental abilities was so-so. It was lack-luster to say the least. I quickly retired Galadriel and made Blossom.

Blossom is/was the longest lasting character I had. I loved her so much that I made different versions of her in various games (Rokugan, D&D, etc.) I will be posting various documents that I made to help flesh out the characters.

*BWC – that's what my friends and I called ourselves during college. Don't ask what it stood for.
