Indeed. Of course, I have found other methods to vent my need to Roleplay over the past six months, but it's nice to be back for a little nostalgia.
And I indeed look forward to roleplaying! Although, despite me saying that I already had an idea for a character, I've actually decided against playing as that one. If I start using characters I have already created, I'll start to rely on that rather than my own creativity, so I'm going to start working on a different one. ;) Now I need to work out which kind of Pokemon to be bonded with.
And yes, I noticed the Roleplayer awards. They weren't here when I was, not at all, but it seems nice that a little more care and attention is being put into the Roleplaying section.
