(This is a republished, old entry.)
Every time I join a community, I am asked, at least once, where my nickname, Arwym Starlight, comes from. I always answer briefly. Arwym Starlight is the name of a part of me that ruled over my actions for many years. And it was not in the character herself, but in her thoughts and feelings, where we had so much in common.
However, her time is coming to an end. Because I am trying to move on. And sometimes, I even consider changing my nickname, as a symbol of my closing that chapter of my life forever. But life doesn’t work that way. I don’t have to close any chapters. I don’t have to forget or ignore whatever happened in my past. I have to live with it. And bearing the name of Arwym Starlight on the net is fine, because I am aware of what she means to me and others who have known me long and well enough to understand what I might be talking about. It’s okay to keep her, and it’s okay to remember her.
But that doesn’t tell you who she is, right? It just tells you who I am.
So I am going to link you to one of the many places where I talked about Arwym Starlight, my most important roleplaying character. I don’t roleplay as her anymore. Well, not ’till now. But I am considering the idea of returning to a few roleplaying communities and finishing her story once and for all.
The following link will show you a pretty badly written summary of Arwym’s story until certain point. It doesn’t tell you much either. Only in my mind you’d be able to find everything that relates to Arwym, the character. This profile was written in 2005. By that time, I was a different person. I am someone who constantly evolves and changes her mind. That is one of the reasons why I find it so hard to define who I am. The same happens to Arwym. She is in a constant process of evolution. Her story has changed a lot since I wrote this. But it’s the most recent written version of her profile, so… here we go.
I have decided to try something I had tried in the past, but failed: a website dedicated only to Arwym Starlight, the character. Biographies, character sheets, small details, galleries of artwork, music that would describe her in different ways, places where she roleplays at, etc. Everything about her persona. I think it’s a great idea. I have a wider knowledge of her, so it’s probably easier to do this now. And I am motivated. So I’ll give this idea another chance.
I’ll talk more about this later. But now I must go to work.
Thank you for reading. :)
