This is just my experience with a freeform RP a while back, and I think it’s about time I share it. It’s been a long time, so sorry if some details are a bit hazy, but I remember the important bits. Behold, the Ballad of Edgardo!

Yeah, freeform RP on a forum. I honestly don't remember the rules exactly, it's been way too long.

To get an 'idea' of what I look like visit my blog. When it comes to anime I don't discriminate and will watch everything from Neon Genesis Evangelion to Naruto, Gravitation to Ouran High School Host Club. So long as it's well written. My favorites so far are Tenchi Muyo(Which brodend my horizions beyond Pokemon and Digimon[And maybe gave me a nudge into puberty]) and FLCL(Which is a mind fuck). I listen to all kinds of rock music, from Beatles to Marilyn Manson. I'll bare through country if it isn't emo country(oh, my dog just died, my wife died, I just got analy raped by a clown),and don't like rap or hip-hop. At all. Altough I do like it when rock bands do covers of rap songs. If you want to get a glimpse into my mental process, smoke some weed, and watch AMV Hell 2, while drinking a Sobe Nirvana. My main religion is ???, and I have only gone to church 3 times in my life, one because my Dick-cheese brother made me, another because a friend made me( I didn't hate that one), and the last because aforementioned brother got bathtized. He is now an asshole hypocrite with a short temper. Incidently, does anyone know where to get a low priced copy of The Necronomicon or The Book of Nod? (seriously)

I apologize to you if you took the time to read this.

Ever an Otaku,

No, no, I couldn't. My time of greatness is over. This is your thing, your story, it's your time! You are the heroes now, and it's your destiny to go out and grasp greatness for yourselves. Be not shackled to the bonds of my tale, let the inspiration take you down your own road. Surpass A Guy Called Squid, surpass Goldnharl. Surpass even Edgardo with your own overflowing spirit! Become greater than them all, and you will have made me proud. Go /tg/, go out and be great for yourselves. I have had my time, and so I pass the torch unto you. Banzai my friends. Banzai
