Have you ever gone on an old character of yours, that you used to used all day everyday, and just...
You know, looked their bios, where you roleplayed with them(A custom map for example), and just walked around, quietly visiting memory lane?
I've found myself to be doing this a lot as of late, and well...
It's brought a few tears to my eyes.
There was one Rp in particular that I miss dearly
'Oblivion's Tears'
It used the map 'Underworld', by Genesis199(Beautiful map, by the way).
It lasted months, and everyone was absolutely amazing, the roleplay was interesting, and the plot was well done.
Sadly, I was unable to keep roleplaying in it because I was having computer issues, and about a month later it all went dead.
So today, I decided to go on my old character(Sheba, she was an elder in the 'Umbra' group), and I did just that.
Walked around, drinking in the nostalgia and recalling the fond memories.
I have run into old buddies from that roleplay(Lord Clav, and Hermaeus), and I have heard they rebooted recently.
Another time I've done this is when I was on a 'reformed' character of mine, Liza.
I used her in Creepy Pasta roleplays, and as I was walking around Feral City, I remembered(And cringed a bit, since that was back in my early days) all the fun I'd had.
So, my question for you all is:
Have you ever just, when you had nothing else to work on or do, gone on an old character, and just...
Quietly remembered?
Okay.. I'm done rambling now... Nostalgia just rammed me with it's car.
Finally someone understands me
No but seriously. I find myself doing this all the time. Recently been doing this with my characters Kiquaii and Kanikki.
I remember things really well. Back in the days where we didn't pay attention to roleplay skills or how detailed our characters were. We just made them, played them, and most of all, we enjoyed the hell out of it. I'm not saying that we don't do it now. However we all had those first few days in the world of RP that we will remember for a long time.
-wipes away a tear-
Great topic though.

Believe it or not, but that used to be my former character Creedance's appearance before I gave him a complete revamp. He was one of the first "original characters" I've possessed here on FeralHeart. Though, at the time I did not know. He used to be the beta in a pack called The Evergreen Wolf Pack, abbreviated as TEP (The Evergreen Pack). It was a role-play withheld durin' the summer months of 2012 and was a role-play that would stick with me and influence I much to the point I would not be the Vespian ye all know ('n love?) today if it weren't for this group. Long story short, the alpha of this former congregation was the one who taught Vespian how to role-play. His morale and sense of judgement also rubbed off on I. I guess ye could say he was Vespian's one 'n possibly only teacher here. I respected he and there were times Vespian would be up from dusk till dawn watchin' over the members of TEP. Even fell asleep with Creedance still logged on a couple of times. The members, darn I loved each and every one of them. It was back when when realism didn't quite count as a priority in groups. Back when I could saunter in the middle of South Pole and complete strangers would be role-playin' together without worry of spies or bein' chewed out because their role-play is floodin' up the chat. TEP accepted everyone so long as they were of the canine representative. Yes, we possessed subtle supernatural abilities. Yes, some of the members (includin' I at the time) looked like sparkle dogs but did we care? Nope. We accepted any who greeted us with a friendly smile and role-played with anyone who were to come our way. Be it dragon, demon, serpent, or man- we were just happy to role-play and be online together. Sadly, nigh the year of 2013, the group became inactive when life has taken hold of some of the members' time. That includin' TEP's alpha and later my own self. While he has done his best to make a permanent return a couple of times, both he and Vespian too has gotten busy to strike enough luck in successfully makin' another pack similar to the one we let dwindle. Although, that doesn't stop Vespian from hopin'. How I miss bein' surrounded by such familiar faces.
I must admit I get that from time to time. It makes me feel as if I am going back in time with certain characters since it has been so long since I have played some of them. Though mostly I don't role-play as much, but when I do find certain characters I have role-played with that have not for a long time. I can't help, but feel a tear in the corner of my eye when seeing them.
