Welcome! I'm newish to the game, but not so newish to insanejournal, though I kind of feel new to it as I dropped out of the journal RP scene for like almost 4 years, and now a lot of things are done differently than when I was in my RP prime. But this game, and the way its run and how it works reminds me of the way things were years ago, so its been a comfortable fit!
My boy here is a human, just recently sold into a life as a helot and is currently living in a halfway house waiting to be bought. He's miserable and hates his life so he's kind of hard to talk to at the moment, lol, but he'll be around if there's anything about him you'd be interested in!
