Medea

Heya, I'm Medea (31f).  I've been playing various ttrpgs on and off for more than 15years, and D&D 5e specifically (2014) for about years. My main draw to ttrpgs is the roleplaying aspect, I love creating characters with interesting backstories and plenty of big and small hooks for possible sidequests and personal involvements, and then exploring the setting and campaign through that character's eyes! I'm very flexible about what class and species I end up playing, though rogues and warlocks are my favourites I can comfortably fill pretty much any role a party might need for balance. I love coming up with backstories alongside at least one other player and work out a nice tie-in into the main story of the campaign to make my character really fit with the theme and the party. I also really enjoy combat, especially encounters that feel meaningful to the story and require a little bit of strategy and clever thinking. I also do like exploration, but since I have no sense of direction nor distance and cannot visually imagine things, it can be a bit tough on me and I always work better with (battle-) maps and visual aids. In a D&D group, I really look for a harmonic table, a group of players that is accepting, supportive of each other, and enjoying spending time together. In my opinion, you know a table is solid when the characters a facing conflict amongst each other but the players still work as a team and enjoy playing out the difficulties without animosity. I should probably mention that I'm very asexual and don't enjoy sexism or any sort of sexual content at the table, neither in-game nor outside of it.  Finally, there's not too much to tell about myself. I live in Central Europe, I love classic horror movies and all sorts of classic and dark fantasy stories (I'm an especially big fan of the Witcher novels and the older Dragon Age games!), and I've recently been trying to get back into writing again! I can be a bit quiet when I join a new group, but usually that goes away reasonably quickly once I feel welcome! I do have minor audio processing issues, so I may occasionally ask for people to repeat themselves because my brain refuses to take in information sometimes.
