{Disclaimer: all games in the Souls Series are rated "M" for violence/blood/gore & partial nudity.} Hello everyone, I have been really busy getting Graduate school stuff in order waiting to pull the trigger, so I have not have much chance to explore the site as much as I want to. Unfortunately, I was almost taken aback by the complete lack of Souls thread in here so to rectify this issue I will attempt to start one. I am not much for starting threads I like the discussion more that starting it but here it goes. The Souls series I think has an excellent use of deep story for those of us who love the lore but also appeals to the I just want to hack and slash "COD" gamer in all of us. The souls series has become slighlty softer since it's beginning in Demon Souls which I believe the mechanics and strategy were at its peak. DS1 was an excellent "sequel" but DS2 really dropped the ball for me. The invention of power stance caused quality builds to just dominate the PvP scene. WTH was up with that parry animation and the player just falling down begging to be stabbed in the face. I almost gave up DS due to the experience I had in DS2 because of the lack of variety in the entire game. DS3 on the other hand have been what every Souls fan has wanted. The story and the mystery is just enough to the lore junkies to quiver speculation after speculation which brings me to the topic I would like to discuss. I enjoy every aspect of lore in the souls series I currently am interested in the furtive pigmy. Alternatively, I am open to build discussion and I am currently quite proud of my build as I consider it unique from most of the community or just talk about anything souls related I'll pop back in to keep it going. **Special note: if everyone despises the Souls series, and finds it to be so far inferior to the elder scrolls series nobody wants to talk about it. I give the moderators complete permission to delete this thread if they so choose no hard feelings.***

Hello everyone, I am here to introduce myself, you may call me by my screen name which is my current RPing character name or if you think it reads silly then my first name Ryan, either is acceptable. I was a pretty big sonic fan back in the day but am nowhere near the buff most of you guys/gals most likely are. I will enjoy catching up and learning more Sonic lore while I am here though. I also enjoy lore and theory from other universes (elder scrolls, Dark souls, legend of Zelda etc.)In regular life I work at a boring job but have a bachelor's in molecular biology and I am currently working on a research project involving antibiotic resistance. Furthermore, I am seeking/applying for PhD programs in infectious disease and immunology. It is nice to meet everyone. Now let the lore commence!
