What's your activity and availability like for SRP?:
I would believe I am fairly active on School Roleplay, either working at shops, attending club meetings, dealing with Reporter things, or just simply hanging out with my friends. While sometimes I may not be heavily active in roleplay, I am found around the server most likely either with people in discord voice chats, building interiors, or just hanging out around the creative server. While of course I wouldn't rate my activity as 10/10 as they would mean I am online, everyday without a lick of sleep.. I would rate my activity as it's highest, 7/10.
As most people know, I currently attend college part time, and work the rest of the time, all from home. This upcoming year will be my 2nd year back at college, but also one of my easiest semesters yet. While at times I can be seen 'Away from the keyboard', I am most likely tabbed out answering dms, working on college work, or just simply working. I primarily keep my discord on my 2nd monitor so this allows me to be reached easily if my attention is away from the server.

How long have you been building?:
I had started building around the time I started playing Minecraft in 2012 - 2013. First beginning my Minecraft journey on pocket edition before moving onto
X-Box 360 at the beginning of 2014. Starting off I didn't progress on any difficult builds, just enjoying my time and building simplistic and dumb creations with my friends. I didn't really see building as a challenge, more of just a fun activity. Not having a limit to my creative abilities, just being able to put my mind to something and enjoy the game.
I built the way I did for years, just enjoying the game for itself. I truly started my build journey when I obtained my first laptop, getting Java Minecraft and joining a Creative server all of my friends had joined previously. On that server I had built shops, homes, gardens, and even mini roleplay story areas. I even built manors from different shows and animes. This passion for building would progress as I would join each server, my skills only improving the more and more I worked on everything. I've built on at least a dozen servers, joining communities and making friends all through out my build journey.
It is obvious to most, that building is a large passion of mine. Something that I have worked on for years to improve my skills to the max potential, and even more further than that. I'm always willing to take on a challenge, something to even test my skills and my limits. I find building as my passion project, enjoying the progress and the final. Being able to step back and look at the full build in it's completely glory.
What are your goals and aspirations for building and being on a team?:
My goals primarily exist with the will and want to improve, not only in the ways of a building, but as a team member as well. While I know I can work well on my own, I also want to work well on a team. This can not only step me up for better on the server, but for real life as well.
My aspirations I believe are what a lot of builders would like. They want to see one of their builds be placed into the main world and watch people run into it to explore the new changes, updates, or areas. I am one of those builders, one who wants to see one of their builds be explored by dozens when the build is announced. I remember when the new forest was introduced and crowds of people came running to explore the area. Myself and my friends stuck to the path, exploring from the Akihito Estate to Bobcat mountain, eyes wide with awe as we explored. I want to feel as proud as the builders and staff team did when the new forest was implemented.
What are your strong suits as a builder? (Interior, Structure, Organics, etc):
From my decade of building, I would believe I have explored all three categories well enough to say I have strong suits in all of them. While some I would say need more improvements than others, I also believe that improvements can be made in all three as I find more ways to improve. Listed below, will be what I believe are my strong suits, and what I believe needs more work and improvement for each.
Interior: I have spent my time on the server, and building career building interiors for apartments, homes, and surprisingly even shops.
- Strong suits: Homes and Apartments. I have spent the most time building apartments or homes.
- Weak suits: Shop fronts. I have only ever built one shop which now sadly no longer exists, I would like to explore building shop fronts or shop interiors.
Organics: I love building organics and playing with gardens or just adding plants around the place.
- Strong suits: Ponds, gardens, and terrains!
- Weak suits: Trees… all shapes and sizes.. I can build interiors and structures as quickly as I can, but trees will take me SO LONG to do and I just want to improve my speed and skills.
Structures: I started building structure from day one, it’s what I have spent the most time working on and improving.
- Strong suits: I can build houses like it's completely natural for me.
- Weak suits: Tall buildings, I have built them the least out of everything.
Do you understand building is a team effort and wont always be building by yourself?:
Yes, I do understand that building is meant to be a team effort and that I will not always be building by myself. From previous experience on different build teams and community teams, I have always enjoyed working with a team on projects or just simple random ideas. One thing I have especially enjoyed working with a team is the progress speed and the collaboration between everyone.
What type of style does your builds consist of? Is there more then one? (Modern, Medieval, etc):
My early build style primarily involved medieval builds, as I had been a member of multiple medieval themed Minecraft servers. The more I progressed with my build style the more I started to diverge into different styles. I started developing a taste for Japanese builds, both modern and rustic. From there I would like to believe that I have come quite far in my builder history, and I have an even further path to travel down in the future.
-- Portfolio --
Supply us with at least 4 screenshots of your build (Do not use shaders):
Quite a number of these builds are currently scattered around the Creative Server and are constantly being worked on and improved actively. All of these builds were done by me aside from a few interiors that I have collaborated with [Admin] Aania. Those builds are at most half of my interior examples listed in my portfolio.
