Dicidia Riding Academy

Welcome to DRA! I hope you've enjoyed your experience here, whether you've just visited or have been/are a member.

I created DRA based on an old idea I had about a riding academy, although that academy way back when was under a different name. Dicidia was originally a horse role play idea that I had that would allow members to have magical horses or horses that possesed powers and were anything they wanted them to be, whether it be a demon or a unicorn or even a hybrid. But since I wanted to do the academy idea... this site became DRA, the Dicidia Riding Academy.

To explain the founder of DRA, my character, Matt Lawson... I'm a huge Gary Sinise fan, and it really started out with the grand movie Forrest Gump, but it wouldn't be until more recently that I found him starring in CBS's CSI: New York as New York Crime Lab Supervisor and former Marine, Mac Taylor, that I would learn of the actor's off-camera work and acting career.

I learned of what he did for America's soldiers and the USO and all of that, and I also learned of the Gary Sinise Foundation and that he played Electric Bass Guitar in his band, inspired by the good old Forest Gump, the Lt. Dan Band. All of that made me all the more fond of him, and I imagine you can relate my admiration of him, in admittedly more ways than one, to you own favorite singer, band, actor or whatever your favorite person/star is. So... there's my behind-the-character tidbit. (I personally hope to go see his band perform next year. They don't have their 2015 schedule up on their amazing website just yet, so I'll be stalking it until I find out when they'll be more local so I can harass my mother for tickets. xD)
