MAGE OF HEART | DERSE

You go by BracingStripes on the myriad social sites you use, which is, LIKE, THREE. Yes, though you have regularly followed Homestuck for over ten years, it is only today that you have ventured into the realm of a real online forum!

Besides enjoying CONFUSING WEBCOMICS FOR WEIRDOS, you also enjoy other confusing, weirdo-targeted things. You practically breathe this stuff Your tastes tend towards the SURREAL, DARK, and EMOTIONALLY INTENSE of movies, and music, which you feel a DARK KINSHIP with. It wouldn't be entirely inappropriate to call you an EMO, a term which you have reclaimed from the clutches of post-ironic anachronism. You're an emo and proud, damnit.

You even express your interests through all sorts of bizarre VIDEO MASHUPS. When you get better, you aspire to the ranks of a professional video editor, but for now you are usually TOO EMBARASSED to share your work with anyone besides your friends. You always put your heart into whatever it is you do, for better or worse. Speaking of mixing, you are also a student of MIXOLOGY, and love to indulge in perfecting recipes whenever you get a free evening or weekend. Though you're rarely satisfied by any of your endeavors, most who have tried your concoctions would call you a total mage behind the bar. They might also describe you as TOO MUCH OF A PERFECTIONIST.

You also love to play video games, though your tastes in this medium are much more eclectic: JRPGs, Metroidvanias, Platformers, Rhythm Games, Roguelites, WRPGs. There are few worlds left unconquered in your campaign to KILL SOME TIME BEHIND A SCREEN. GAMER, another term rescued from the bowels of irony.

Your chumhandle is cosmogonicalAuthor and you speak earnestly, but with a sharp wit. Unless you're being silly.
