This is me

J.S.Steinman
This is the high-elf slayer that represents me within the world of Tera. I chose to play as a high-elf for two simple reasons. Firstly, they seemed to me to be exceptionally out-of-place within the realm itself; high-elves and elves in general are, in my experience, found in old-age forest worlds where they are in some sort of contact with orcs, goblins, dwarves, and other variations of elves. Of course, we see this in Tera, but not necessarily as main character-players. As such, they seemed out-of-place to me, more so than the lolita bunny bitches and sentient animals and the dinosaur slaves. Second, high-elves are generally beautiful as far as aesthetics are concerned, I I absolutely adore the style of their armour, their physical forms, and their cities and towns. For these reasons, I felt that high-elf was the way to go! (Also, I tend to be more effeminate, and I felt that both the male and female captured that quality, for obvious reasons ^.^)

I chose to roll as a slayer for two reasons as well. Firstly, I fucking love giant-ass swords but, seriously, who doesn't? Secondly, I tend to be a more aggressive, independent player, and I couldn't stand the thought of standing by the sidelines healing comrades or shooting arrows from my puny bow -.-

(No disrespect to priests, hunters, and the like; noble professions, just not for me)

 Now I'm sure that you would have noticed by now that my character is a female, whereas I am personally a male. This is simply because the female figure is exceptionally aesthetically pleasing compared to the male figure. It's not some creepy sexual thing where I get my rocks off playing a dainty chick. I just figured that if I'm going to play a online video-game for hours exceeding the normal span of one week, I wanted to be looking at something aesthetically appealing, not big, clunky, lanky, and overall, sickening.


But, I digress, this is my character, my guide as I explore the vast realm of Tera. It has, thus far, been an incredible experience, and I hope to catalog my experiences here, on this blog. <3


She just looks good. Not in a creepy super-sexual way where I fantasize about banging a high-elf while I play Tera in my mom's basement, but in a pseudo-philosophical way where my feelings for this feminine figure are the same as my feelings for an impeccable work of art or finely crafted piece of architecture, wherein I observe the character whilst playing Tera in my apartment.
