I AM...A woman who travels on a ship, with her lifes partner. The only real goal either has, is to find a place to call home. They have slowly gained a few things of value, but all was worked hard for.



She now travels alone :( She blames herself!

I only have a few worth mentioning, so...

I am your friendly neighborhood "Bar and Grill" owner presently amusing myself by pounding my fist, hard, into a stone wall. My life's falling apart. My ... 'friend' is about to get ruined, I fear, and its' completely my fault. I ruined her, and the town will too. Now, the magistrate has locked me in this building and won't let me see my wife, the wife I'm sure she's telling horrible things to, my wife, who if she had any sense in the world would drop me like a sack of old leather. Pain will make it better. Pain, and blood...

I am a playful woman in her fifties who's managed to weather her husband's slave complex, bandit attacks, a sea voyage between continents, annoyingly boring resource gathering, and a rather confusing trip along the shore of a hard-to-pronounce island. It's fun. Thirty-years on, I still act twenty.

My husband the guardsman won't wake up. It's annoying... and beginning the frighten the heck out of me.

My wife, my beautiful Mac Gregor wife, is dead. So I did what any sensible man would do. I put her in the vault and I ran. I ran until I hit a town in the hills, and I started to draw. If I grin enough, maybe one smile will be real...
Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall...

English:

- I am a young man who enjoys observating the enviroment around him while farming, I'm waiting for my chance to make a difference in this town.
- I would love to travel to a real big city some day. But first I want to be noticed by the people around me, who are talking with a strange accent.

Dutch:

- I am a young guy dedicated to retrieving the history of the island. However this is going slower than I imagined, because not everyone is cooperating.

- I walked away from my hometown, because I didn't like the leader. Just wandering around, hoping to find a nice place to stay.

- I am young, now working to get protecting and weapons. I'm having plans for my own coöperative city which will rule the island.

- I am just new in a nice town and started to do community work. This might be a nice place to call home

- I'm far to young to scream out my political opinion but I want this town to grow and therefore I want to make some serious changes. I won't stop untill this city is on the road to world domination.

French:

- I am walking around, checking out the region. Not knowing what to call home yet.

Reason why all my chars are so young: Just started playing again!

I was a townleader in Aki Jalahido Sover. Together with somebody else, I acted as a "mentor" for newspawns. Writing community projects, calculating the fastest way to grow.

I was the townhead in serveral Dutch villages or the guy to bring down the regimes there. Next to that I started Universities, helped organisations grow big and lived it to the max.

Anyway I just loved this tread!

Take care

I run a small trading and smithing business in Brunoi.

I was a deserter from the Ladvicitavoi Imperial Guard in its attack on the DoUrden Company. I then settled in Vrayllnuets Hills (south), accumulating tools, weapons and ships. I hired several people to join me in a plot to take over the town. They succeeded, but also killed me.

I am a high-ranking member of the Clan Mac Gregor.

I was a BAF militiaman, who settled in Longinazy and was killed trying to trade with a pirate galleon.

I am a pirate on that galleon.

I am a Mogul of Tribe Blackrock.


Those chars are either recently dead or still alive. Now one from long ago (the only one I ever got killed, until recently):

I was aspiring to be a foreman of the Lad Imperial Workshop. I led a group of workers to join Eyan Hamil's rebels and was killed by Alenz Hills Mining Co. during the war in the region.

I am a former member of TBR. I left with my husband because I realized that I did not want to live my life the way I had been, and it seemed the only way to get rid of it. I also may have left for other reasons, but I'm not quite sure what those reasons are.


I am an assistant in a Clothiers and I am constantly falling asleep outside, because there is a man out there that I think I am falling for. I will never admit to it, though, because I don't want my friends to think differently of me for feeling this way so quickly after my previous boyfriend died, or what I feel to be so quickly anyway.


I am a great huntress and have been left in charge of taking care of a town while the leader is away. I have lost many friends to death in the last 2 years and am getting tired of it. I just want to go home.


I am a new Ranger. I just got home from a festival which I really did not get to participate in anyway, as I was having problems the whole time. I felt as if I was in love with two men and had to decide which I'd rather be with.


I am a woman who really has no idea what she's doing. I've fallen for a great man who is going to open a shop, but I don't know what to do to help, and I am constantly worrying about the possibility of an attack.


I am traveling with my boyfriend and a co-worker to the forest to gather wood. My boss had just been attacked and the company boat stolen, and I am on a trip to get more wood so he can build another boat and hope to retrieve the other.


I am with a man on a boat, and we are waiting for someone to let us inside so we can trade. We've met another man who we don't really trust, but he has proven to be harmless at the moment.


I am traveling to the forest to gather more wood. I am with my boyfriend whom, for the longest time, I've felt as if he thought I'd been in the way, or he didn't want me around. I now know that I was wrong in thinking these things and that he really does want me to come with him.


I am a new Stone Knight, just accepted. I am head of the kitchen in town and I am anxiously awaiting for my boyfriend to say something I've wanted to hear for a long time. You know what those words are, I don't need to say them. ;)


I am on a boat looking for two kidnappers. They've just recently kidnapped our town's leader and I volunteered to go search for them. We've almost given up and have decided to head home. The closer we get, the more anxious I get to see my friends.


I am on a hunting trip with a man that I really like, and...well...there's really not much more to say than that. I'm looking forward to spending some time with him.


I am a Corporal in the Imperial Army and I am growing restless. I am ready to head to our new post but I know I must wait a little longer. I am also starting to worry a little as my love has not said anything for the past few days.


I am the leader of a small town that I happened to come upon. I'm just now starting to get things going, when my husband caught the sleeping sickness. He's been asleep for a long time, and I think he might die soon.


I am in the forest gathering wood (yes..I know I have a lot of em lol). I work for a weapons shop and am ready to get back home. I am also just getting over being very ill.


I am a Priestess of the Good Spirits and am in a neighboring town, helping them gather stone. I am secretly falling for the man with us known as the seeker of Truth, but I dare not say anything about it for fear of being rejected.

A little update.

I am going through a midlife crisis right now, and have left my clothing store to sail.


I am getting pissed off at the pirates, who are making sailing hell! Even local authorities are trying to steal things from me, as it's hard to tell who is a pirate.

I have been sitting in this cell for a LONG time now! And the dead bodies are starting to speak to me....


I am avenging the death of my promiscuous ex girlfriend, because I have nothing better to do, and I'm quite crazy.

I am trying to deal with the newly elected people I have to work with in my town.


I am becoming the most powerful person in my town, and I am gaining and losing allegiances.

I am a coward... waiting for something to do.


I found something to do. :twisted:

I am h...h.... hiding from life.


I am f... finding a new one.

I am enjoying my relationship forming with my companion... perhaps I shall not kill him.


Is my companion coming back? Damn, I should have killed him when I had the chance. Oh well, target practice on newspawns.

I am sailing away from my home island... and I am lost.


I 'found' a new island, but seemingly others had found it before me. I am now trying to become a leader in this new land.

I am pretty dang bored working in here...


I am building my own stuff now, with my boss' resources. He left town so I'm going to take the place over. Stupid boss.

I am getting rich, but don't really know what I should do with my wealth.


I am even richer, and even more clueless as to what to do with the wealth.

Um found oil!


Um spend all day hunting and healing, but Um still a poor hunter. :evil:

I am looking for a job. It seems that as active as I am, no one has the need for me.


I am dead.

I am laughing at how I conned Akypor out of a ton of crap. I am also running away.


I am dead, too.

I am enjoying life in Karnon Imperial Army. I crave more responsibility.


I am dead, three.

(French)
I am getting suspicious of those Dutch folk in my town.


I am using my leadership skills to turn my town into a socialist utopia.

I forgot my damn bike, and am going back to get it. I am also starving.


I am working as a smelter, but I yearn to leave town and explore again.

I am a young townsperson, plotting domination.

I am a young lover, who's love is dead and has 3% life left, scared and running, hoping I live long enough to fulfill those long term goals.

I am a wanderer, soon to leave his mark on the world, if not forever then for as long as they stand.

I am a usurping woman, hoping to marry into wealth.

I am an aspiring newspaperman, out to change the world.

I am a townsperson, watching everyone he knows killed hoping he will escape the area..... for now.

I am starving on the road, hoping to reach rice.

I am trying to apply my limited knowledge of spanish on an island where no one is awake.

I am alive and unwounded, surprisingly, but so alone and confused... once again declined to a bestial level.

I am taking this damn bike to Zuzi and that's it, I've had enough... I just wanna go home.

I am performing primitive head surgery.

I am aiding people without asking for pay and surprisingly, I find it quite satisfactory.

I am frustrated about our town leader being so unfair and sleepy.

I am shocked after losing a close friend to death, for the first time in my life.

I am still trying to sail around this cursed island, but visiting land briefly to gather potatoes helped me to gain some touch in life again.

I am in a town that has so much stuff on the ground people are grabbing it freely and no one cares. But I just want steel, and no one has it.

I am still having feelings towards an old friend even though she never smiles and

I am trying to heal all the wounded in this town. No one understands me.

I am crushing hematite and they were supposed to come help me but no one did.

I am helping somebody to make clothes since I surprisingly noticed I'm expert in it. And these people are plain ignoring me.

I am finally on the way home.

I am planning to go travelling with my girlfriend.

I am still a hardworking member of a unique group. I love my life there and the way it is governed even though I've grown more quiet than I used to be.

I am back in my hometown with my bf. I still try to hunt faithfully, for it is one thing I'm smashingly good at. Poor animals. Except the sheep. They can die.

I am in a small, little-populated place. I'm trying to help the town grow, but I'm almost as sleepy as the leader as of late. But so far, I'm sure he can claim the award for sleepiness.

I am sleepy too and have been a long time, but I keep working. I should be more awake, because I fear I may not be living up to my responsibilities in some ways.

I am finally trying to make it back to my hometown from a resource run that didn't go very well in some aspects. It took me too long and I'm sure they think I'm dead or have run off with the things entrusted to me. It's not my fault that the person I was to rely on half-way through the journey let me down. I'll make it back. I promised I would short of death and that's what I intend.

I live all alone on a sparsely-populated place where I'm sure I've only seen maybe four other Cantrians in my whole life. I travel some to get some resources but always return to my home to slowly try and build a cottage. My only companion is my dog Scruffy.

I am tough and not very friendly. I'm not unfriendly, but I do not care much for people. I rarely speak to anyone without need. I do enjoy chasing down criminals though. And I like leather. Lots of leather.

I was happily living in paradise with the love of my life. But those dreams and plans came crashing down when we were brutally murdered. At least we were together until my dying day. Who thought it would end this way?

I am back home with my wonderful husband. No longer do the silk bushes and toolsheds have to beware, but certainly it doesn't mean we'll stop having fun. As long as I stop being sleepy! I'm sorry, my dearest husband and friend, I've not meant to be so sleepy! I am waking up more...

I am done building my home. I'm over the loss of the man I had started to care about who died unexpectedly. I am not over the fact that I didn't even realize he'd died until I went to say something to him, but could not find him or his body. But the only other man I'd ever cared about died as well. He might've been the only one that could've convinced me to give love another try. At any rate, I'm determined to not let anyone else be more than a friend.

I'm living and working in a town that's in an uproar. There's talk of going to war. I came outside because I was asked to, but I just want to go back inside to work. I could care less about war.

I am finally home. I'm glad to be home but many things have changed for me. My best friend is married and left, things I thought I could be sure of, I'm not, and I can't stand being locked inside, but I am. Of my own choice of course. I'm hurt but ever-unwilling to show it and I know that it's only my own fault. So I shall stay inside, despite my fear of being inside, so that I may meditate. I will be alright, though I'm not sure I'll ever be the same determined flirt that I was.

I am back where I was supposed to be, but found that the one that was going to build an army with me is dead. And we lost recruits to death and silence as well along the way. I will get my revenge on that place, if only in the honor of my dead.. friend? I suppose it is the closest thing to a friend I would have. I'm not much for friends. I do like dead birds though. Or dead anything. Amazing when you know you can sap the life out of something. :twisted:

I am happily married and living quietly. Maybe too quietly for my husband, but that will change.

I was living then I died by cruel chance of fate. It won't be a lamented death though.

I am quiet. I live in a busy place, where only one person really ever talks to me. I lost two friends, one went completely mad. I don't know why, and sometimes I blame myself.
Glitch! is dead! Long live Glitch!
