ROLEPLAY HISTORY: Kaiya came to roleplaying through a little Magic Academy roleplaying board on Avidgamers.com way back in 2002, having been told to join by Laterose, also creating her own website around this time dedicated to anime and manga and a short-lived webcomic. After that she created the Mages Academy of Magic with Laterose and another friend in 2003, also delving into chatroom roleplaying and GAIA online for the first time. Though she delved into various sites on Avidgamers, her first experience with single thread-type roleplaying came from her few years in roleplaying chatrooms where she encountered everyone from the obnoxiously literate to the hardcore caplock-loving flamers. It was perhaps these experiences that made Kaiya such a mellow internet personality.
About five years ago she was invited by one Rarehunter to join the anime/manga forum YuGiOhX, where she created its first roleplay, The Classic, which is still going on today, and where she met Android-X who we now know to be Kailand. A year later, FRP 1.0 was born and Kaiya officially left chatroom roleplaying. Since then she's been a member of several forums created by FRP members, including Lacerta (Rarehunter's rival forum to FRP, but none at present. She is still active on GAIA, under the name of KaiyaMitsu, and on DeviantArt under the same name.
FAVORITE CHARACTER OVER THE YEARS: First character ever: Tinda Nightshade. Most complex personality/character developement: Kaiya (The Classic) and Sadie Blackwell (Xenophobic). Most challenging: Genoa Im(A Heated Exchange) and Arlais Worland (Downing). Most fun: Aristotle Wiles (Atephobic).
FAVORITE ROLEPLAY: The Classic- It's my baby. More recently: Downing.
FAVORITE PAIRING: Kaiya and Ryu, because when I finally found reason to justify why they would be together, it made the most sense ever. Sadie and Kai from Xenophobic have one of the most interesting build ups to their relationship. More recently, Banji and Pesh from the Blades of Night. They're both equally strong personalities and to see the two repel against each other and their surroundings is wonderful.
OTHER PLACES I ROLEPLAY: Nowhere but here. Home, Sweet Home.
HOW I CAME TO FRP: I had met Kailand way back on YuGiOh X and gladly signed onto FRP when he created it.
MY COMPUTER IS: A 2008 15" Macbook Pro named Wolfgang.
HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME: Personal messages on the site or AIM is the best way, my screenname being (SURPRISE) kaiyamitsu. Usually I'm on in late evening, eastern standard time.
