Hello, I am Natasha _x-X-x_ Exotica, but you may refer to me as Natasha or Nikki :3 (Though, I usually prefer the former unless you know me well)
I suppose I shall start with a few things about me personally. I am 20 years old, almost 21 now (born Nov. 17th, 1991) and happily engaged. I live in central California where the summers are excruciating, the winters are a welcome relief, and the majority of the people are all-around a**-monkeys. (To put it into perspective, anything you've heard about drivers from here is an understatement)
I am an anti-social chatterbox. Yes yes, come enjoy the contradiction with me, I'll give you a Starburst lol. I am mostly Italian and Alaskan-native with a hint of Russian for flavor and good measure. Ever since I can remember, I've always loved reading and writing. My most notable academic achievement in school was that I could always read and write at least two grade levels above my own. As well as being excellent at math.
I was raised Baptist but could never fully understand the whole christian thing in general. Recently, I've taken a liking to being a Wiccan and have acquired a general displeasure of anything Christian-related. (that's being nice about it). I am, however, trying to adjust my views to better suit my new belief, which requires me to hold back my opinions against Christianity. It's slowly getting easier, but i'll warn you right now. If you even think of trying to convert me, i'll rain fire-y death upon you when you least expect it. I don't throw my s**t at you like some broken beggar trying to justify myself in the eyes of something that could care less, so don't do it to me.
I like to be a no nonsense kind of person, and tend to be very blunt, or even brutally honest if I have to. I try not to step on toes, but sometimes it's simply unavoidable. I am pansexual, with an appreciation for female fashion, particularly of the racy kind, and hate it when people say that those who wear revealings clothes are slutty. Take your sexist opinions to someone who gives a damn.
I suppose that's enough about me for right now. Lets tackle those questions from the guild home page.
1.) Have you read the SDRP Guide? 2.) How did you find the SDRP? 3.) How long have you been RPing? 4.) What got you started in RP? 5.) Have you ever run an RP before? (we can help advertise if you have an existing RP) 6.) What sort of RPs do you like? (large group, small group, one-on-one, short story, long campaign, freeform, stat based, etc) 7.) What genres do you like? (fantasy, school, sci-fi, modern, slice of life, adventure, horror, etc) 8.) Why would you like to join the SDRP? 9.) Is there anything you would like to do for the SDRP? (tutoring, artwork, advertising, donation, affiliation, etc)
[1] yes [2] Vay finally convinced me to join :3 [3] for about 6 or so years now [4] My enjoyment of literature [5] A few, yes, with varying amounts of success [6] I don't have a particular favorite type. I've done a little bit of everything, really, and they all were fun in their own way :3 [7] I like many genres, but my particular favorite is fantasy. It holds an endless amount of creativity. [8] I want to give it a shot since good roleplayers are hard to come by these days. [9] I'll answer this with my goal to achieve while being a member of Gaia. I hope to one day be a positive influence on the community as a whole and raise the standards of roleplayers everywhere. It use to be that everyone loved creating their own story and doing their own thing when I first joined gaia. Now, these days, I go into the Barton town forums and don't find much of anything at least well thought out. It's almost like the sense of pride in literature has dwindled, maybe even diminished completely, and everyone just wants to read and write random drama and action. I want to encourage people to create something with all their effort. Not just simply create something. Literature is not a fad, it is an important part of humanity.

Greetings! I am the Directory Fairy (in a non-gay way, sorry Sibes) coming with a bag full...no...wait.
Well I can't think of any conversation topics at the time so I'm saying hello anyway because I can!
It's good to have you here and when I think of something to talk about I will...oh!
How did the Italian and Alaskan thing work out?
I can understand Russian and Alaskan, being as people can kinda/sorta make it across the Bering in even a leaky boat, but an Italian would have to go a long way to make it to Alaska.
Fun fact: I travel the distance of the Bering Strait almost every two days.

Weird.
I can't remember to be for sure. I know my mom's told me about it but I've never had to explain it lol.
If I remember correctly, my grandma married a Russian... She was born and raised in Alaska though, that much I'm sure of. now that I think about it, he must have been Italian as well, because my uncle is also italian. hmhm, he use to get upset because he's not the hait-growing kind, it took him ten months to grow a caterpillar mustache lol. Poor guy.
being Alaskan and Russian isn't that uncommon either. I read up the history of Alaska at some point and saw that the Russians tried to occupy Alaska. Can't remember if They succeeded or not, though I remember the joke that the Russians must have been fond of the winter season lol.

if you need a conversation piece, I am a Scorpio :3
a quadruple scorpio to be exact. I can't remember where I did this horoscope on, but it told me where the planets were aligned on my specific birth date, and four of them were in Scorpio. It said it made me a dangerous person, lol. I could make a great and caring friend, or I could be a very intelligent adversary. X3
Welcome to the guild, you four timer Scorpio. We could use a little more danger to liven up this joint. wink

I'm a Leo and someone once told me that the significance of the day I was born meant that I would uphold to being a Leo in all but one way, instead of being an extrovert I would be an introvert.
Which is true, I've been "The Lone Wolf" for many many years, and in fact had come to pride myself on it. Though here recently I have become much more extroverted, it is simply a ruse as I still do all my best stuff on my own. Being social is incredibly nice though, and I don't have to (read; prefer not to but find myself occasionally there anyway) be the center of attention.
So I conflict with my sign a lot. I am very warm, generous, and loyal though.
What I don't conflict with (as often) is my Meyers-Briggs Personality type, INFJ.
Though I have read somewhere that most of my conflicts with said personality type comes from it being very flexible and creative, so I'm able to assume the necessary roles even if it contradicts a few things.
I should find you the link for the Meyers-Briggs Personality test, it's fun to find out who you are and compare it to other things, like Zodiacs.
I think I'm an amalgam of everything really.

Glad Vay finally drug you in here. Sorry we've been busy. Hope you're enjoying the Fights. Yours was fracking hard to judge.

The fights are plenty fun :3 It's not every day I get to RP with someone of similar or higher caliber anymore, much less brawl with them. It was great, I don't think I could've asked for a better opponent. (it was especially hard trying to beat someone with a power that can naturally best mine to begin with, so It was a rough start ^^; )
I don't mind that you both have been busy, I just got a little curious because he dropped off rather suddenly, you know? hmhm. I just naturally worry about others though, so I was pretty confident it wasn't anything serious.
So, how are you? I don't think Vay told me all that much about you, just that you're his wife and you run Aelzwhr(correct me if I didn't spell it right)

I'm glad you're enjoying the fights. We're getting some great entries and I feel bad that some good people got knocked out in the first round but for some strange reason we thought it would be more fair to pair people by skill though in hindsight that's not really all that fair to the good players that get knocked out early. Next time we'll probably do a random draw. Because that is waaaay easier.
And yeah, Vay has a tendency to disappear during the first few weeks of the semester. Things are starting to settle down though so he should come back soonish. I'll beat him into geeting back online.
I'm doing ok. Been crazy busy myself. Work has been a pain and it's planting season again so I've been doing a lot of gardening. It's Aelzwyr but that' ok, hard to spell. I'd love to have you join btw.

It was a great idea in theory, don't worry about it lol. But yeah, I think a random draw would be better and easier, lol. Oh well.
I'm not too worried about it :3
I'm sure I would enjoy it, but Yule season is coming up and I'm trying to push for a better job with more hours. And once I get married here in November, I hope to go to college myself to help make my resume look better. All that means a lot less time to myself and I don't want to sign up for something only to fall off the maps for a while one month in, lol. I hate it when other people do it, so I wouldn't do it myself. But, right now it's a kind of play-by-ear thing, and I'm really hoping to land myself into a position that doesn't eat too much of my personal time, because I love roleplaying. Probably the cheapest hobby i'm into, lol.

I hope you manage to find a good job that lets you keep up your hobbies. I'd go crazy if I didn't have time to relax but I remember college was stupidly busy. I was lucky to work for my university's IT department which left me with a good bit of time on the computer.
It is nice how cheap roleplaying can be. What other hobbies are you into?

Well, aside from roleplaying, I also love plinking in my backyard with my pellet rifle, play on my xbox360, draw, and some general arts and crafts. Here pretty soon I am going to start collecting aluminum to melt down in a backyard forge to crafts with, and possibly make my own swage to see if I can make a lighter, more effective pellet. During down time, I like to walk around and find something to do around town. Anything that keeps me moving or thinking really. I like to keep myself busy :3

Long time no see. I owe you artwork. You should come back and describe Vyra in crazy detail for me.

Hey! Good to see you're back. :3
I don't know if I could describe Vyra in enough detail, some of it gets a little complicated, lol. Mostly the design of the armor. I do have a recent picture of her though. :3 Here. The only thing is, in that one I forgot to draw her claws in. Major brain fark, lol. Claws. :3
The various tones of blue skin glow with an intensity that is relative to her mood. With her legs, the thigh and foot segment are equal length, with the calf segment being half the length of the other two. It's one of her identifying features. Her bust size is 40E, and she has a bold and robust figure. It makes her more heavy-set, which helps a lot to keep her grounded in a fight. As well as added damage resistance. The tendrils on her head are prehensile as well. :3
