Hallo, everynyan!
 
Hello all~

Hello all, I'm Sopheria! Catherine is my real name. I live in Lockport NY, I absolutely love Tales, Kingdom Hearts, Full Metal Alchemist, Doctor Who, Magic The Gathering, and of course, Pokemon! As far as physical activities go, I love rock climbing (not actual mountains, just the little plastic walls :P), and I play a bit of soccer, occasionally. I originally joined PC back in 2013 to make some trades to complete my Pokedex. Then I started meeting all kinds of wonderful, friendly people, so I started branching out. Two years later, I'm still here ^^

I'm a college graduate, with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, and I currently work as a software developer at a local company. While it's a great field, and it's something I do enjoy doing, I've often found myself wishing that I had more creative skills. For that reason, I've been trying to get more into the various creative activities on PC, such as RPT, WoPC, and a bit of Romhacking as well. So far it's been great! Doing all of these things on here PC has not only helped me develop my creative skills, but it's also helped me learn to have fun while doing it, and not be self-conscious about my noobishness.

So that covers all the basics. Go ahead and ask me anything, if you're interested!

What first got you into the Tales of Series?

Who would be your top three favorite Tales of Character. If three all time is too hard then top three males and top three females will work :b

Would you consider soccer your favorite sport?

the last question is me trying not to ask you just tales of questions

Who's your favorite chacacter from FMA?

Why do you think that your creative skills are bad?

How much do you know about ROM Hacking?

You think that PC changed your point of view about online friendships?

Hey Archy!

Catherine or Cathy, whichever one you prefer is fine~

Favorite FMA character? That's a tough one, since all the characters are amazing. But all in all I'd have to say Envy is my favorite! I just find him to be such a fascinating character, and as much of a jerk he is throughout the show I actually feel bad for him in the end :c

My creative skills, hmm. I wouldn't say that they're bad, just unrefined, and not as good as I'd like them to be. I've been out of practice for years though, so I think that's to be expected. They're improving though, I think!

PC has definitely changed my view about online friendships. I've made some good friends in my time here, and I've gotten to know them quite well! I actually used to be very hesitant to get close with people online, mainly out of fear of them disappearing on me :c But since being on PC, I've come a bit more out of my shell, in that regard.

Hi Tara :)

I actually didn't get into Tales until a few years ago, when I played Graces. I was shopping around PSN for some new games to play, and Graces caught my attention. So I played it, and was amazed by how amazingly epic the story was, as well as how challenging and fun the gameplay was ^^ As soon as I finished Graces I was hooked haha.

Favorite female Tales characters: Sheena (Symphonia), Cheria (Graces), and Muzet (Xillia). For male characters, I'd have to say, Mithos (Symphonia), Ludger (Xillia), and Mieu (from Abyss. He's so cute :3)

Yea, soccer is definitely my favorite! I've never been huge into sports in general, but soccer is the one actually have a lot of fun playing! (And I'm actually not terrible at it, surprisingly! :) )

Hey Cathy~!

What's your favorite ice cream flavor?

Do you have any programs that you want to one day create?

I just realized I missed this question. I can do basic mapping, that's about it. I want to get a bit more practice with it, and then get into scripting.

Hey Lost Heart-kun ^^

My favorite ice cream flavor is French vanilla, for sure.

Programs I'd like to create? Most of all I want to finally make a fully finished game. I've made some really simple games in Java, but they were far from finished products--just little things I threw together to practice here and there. I also have a fascination with DSP algorithms, so I'd like to one day get into computer vision and pattern recognition and that sort of stuff :)

How long have you been playing MtG and how did you get into it?

What's your Ravnican guild? Or if you're unfamiliar with the Ravnican block, what two MtG colours represent you the best?

What would your spirit animal be?

I knew there was a reason I liked you. French vanilla is my favorite too! ;)

What kind of game would you want to program most? Platformer? RPG? ???

What programming languages have you worked with?

I've been into MtG for about four years. My roommate and I got into it at the same time, since a bunch of our friends were really into it so we wanted to get in on the fun. I'd associate myself most with the Izzet guild, since Blue and Red are my favorite combination. I'm also fond of White and Blue :)

For my spirit animal, for some reason snow leopard comes to mind :3

French vanilla is amazing, isn't it? :3

I would love to make an action RPG one day! Those are generally my favorite types of games.

I've worked with C, Java, C++, PHP, Javascript, MATLAB (to the extent that one could call it a programming language haha), and a few different assembly languages :)

Do you prefer a milkshake or a malt?

Do you like bacon on your cheeseburgers?

Milkshakes. I've actually never had malt o:

I love bacon on anything. Especially cheeseburgers :3

esperance August 11th, 2015 4:32 PM

Mmm.... bacon. <3

Do you know any languages other than English?

Have you ever traveled to another country?

Bacon is love <3

I know Japanese almost-fluently! I still have a ways to go before I'm fluent though. I also know some Spanish, but not that well, and I'm long out of practice.

I've been to Japan as an exchange student for a semester. I've also been to Canada relatively frequently, since I'm right on the border. There's a lot of good shopping places across the border near where I live ^^

とても me gusta! Especially soba. And ramen, when it's done right.

It was amazing! Classes and such were more or less the same, though the teachers were a bit more strict. The whole experience was great though, and I learned a ton! And of course, I loved the food. I totes want to go back one day ^^

If you were a Pokémon what would your type be?

Have you ever cosplayed, and if so who?

I've actually never played it before, but I'd like to give it a try if I ever get a Wii U. It looks pretty fun~

I feel like I'd be a ghost type. Not sure why :P

I've actually never cosplayed before :c I want to though, hopefully the next time I go to a con!

What are some tips on getting people to be cool to me on here? It seems people either don't notice me at all or don't like me. But you seem to be well liked, so I assume you'll have a good answer to it. ^_^

ghostly August 13th, 2015 4:32 AM

What's your plan regarding Auria Region? What are your hopes about it and what do you look forward the most to?

Hiya! Hmm...I would just say don't be afraid to chat up people who seem interesting to you or seem like they share some of your interests. Also, maybe give some of the more interactive forums a try, like Roleplay Theatre, World of PC, or The Underground? Those are nice ways to make friends on the forum. When you're in a roleplay, a region, or a game of mafia, it's like being part of a group ^^; and as long as you're all having fun together, they'll like you.

You can also always chat with me, if you ever want someone to talk to c:

My end goal is to make a romhack out of it. That's my long-term goal, at least! Right now I'm just playing it by ear. I'm trying to get a feel for what the members of the region are interested in doing (writing? roleplaying? art? all of the above? etc.)

One thing I do want to do for sure though is have an Auria location of the week event, where every week I'll highlight a different location from around the region, share some details and current goings-on around it, and give the members an opportunity to post artwork or stories about it ^^;

Team Magma or Team Aqua?

What is your best memory that involves Pokémon?

ghostly August 14th, 2015 2:24 AM

Let's see,

Is the lessons of having Computer Engineering as your career, hard? The math, the coding, etc. I tried that career, my head exploded.

What can you say about your experiences here in this site?

Pokemon Game Fan August 14th, 2015 3:50 AM

Thanks! You seem like an awesome person to talk to. ^_^
I've been trying to be cool with people on here but no one really ever responds. ;-;

Team Magma!

My favorite memory involving Pokemon, that's a tough one...I think I'd have to say it was the time when me and 3 of my friends got together and did the Pokemon Musical in BW like, all night xD There was no point to it whatsoever--we just dressed our Pokemon up in the most ridiculous outfits and cracked up at how silly it all looked :D

It got pretty challenging at times. I've always loved math, so I didn't mind that too much. What was really difficult was the intense amount of work my school's department had us do, between homework, lab assignments, projects, and reports. There were a few times I went 2 days in a row without sleeping ;-;

I'd say my experiences on the site have been pretty positive! I've met some nice people, and haven't yet had any bad experiences here :)

Aww. Sometimes people are busy, or they meant to respond but it slipped their mind. It happens to the best of us, sometimes :c I'll make sure that doesn't happen if you want to talk with me!

kingdenas August 14th, 2015 11:39 AM

Hello Sopheria!

What made you follow the Computer Engineering as your carieer?

Pokemon Game Fan August 14th, 2015 1:01 PM

Or they just don't like talking to the unknown guys. haha.

Thanks though, you rock. 8-)
