I'll update mine.

I'm starting to get a little restless with the same old tasks.

I think I'm going to make it to safety, thanks to a certain few.

I have escaped the beurocracy of Lad.

I have just started my own business.

I am trying to get to a place where I am allowed to gather food.

I am struggling against preconceptions.

I am falling in love with violence and a significant other.

I am going to join a profitable company.

I am so tired of this all, the one I thought to be my friend just threatened to take away the one I value most - and it wouldn't be fair to her either, right? And even she doesn't really understand me... *sigh*

I am finally back home. And things seem rather positive here. Expecting the worst sure helped a lot.

I am quite happy with things the way they are now. If only he'd bring our bike back...

I am on a trip to nowhere, though where I'd rather be was the place I left... if it wasn't for all those sharp items and nasty glares. I must have her one day...

I am doing repairs for this guy though actually I don't need that much of what he's going to pay me, and I'm getting rather bored. I'd rather be sailing again, but how could I tell him to do the rest on his own when he's so bloody awkward in it?

I am on a long road (again), and just departed from a girl. The only one that enjoys my company and just my luck, she's too sleepy.

I am close to home now, and quite happy though I find it hard to stay awake.

I am on the return trip but stopped to gather potatoes for a couple of days. And my mind is blank.

I am on the way to the place I have settled in, there is four days left to go and I am carrying a lot of limestone.

I am anxious to go home soon.

I am cooking meat to feed strangers.

I am expecting a couple of friends to get married. Eeeeee! :D (Well, she can't say no can she?)

I am trying to find an old friend, and when I'll reach him I'm so gonna let him hear what I think of him leaving like that!

I am trying to find an unlocked ship to loot.

I am building a longboat.

Alright, this seems like a good place for a first post... ...

I am making weapons, having fallen in with a good crowd...
I am intimidated by the people around me, but slowly relaxing...
I am recovering after an animal attack, but eager to return to the wilderness, in spite of the friendly locals...
I am scared for my home and seeking the wonderful girl who fled the chaos...
I am happily helping the council with repairs...

Yes, guilty as charged. I am surprised you recognised the character from what little I wrote!

I suppose I'll update mine.

I am rejuvenated. I've found a new fledgling city with a promising leader and I'm now involved in getting the town started. A refreshing experience!

I am busy! I've finally got the resources I need... but it's not enough. I need to find a way to get more, but I'm broke... back to the drawing board.

I am nonchalant. I sit in my town and gather my stone to build my hotel rooms. The rest of my town puzzles over food concerns, but I've produced enough oft-overlooked bread to last me a lifetime.

I am bitter. The women I work with are beginning to annoy me, and the leadership always has. I contemplate leaving, but will it be any better anywhere else? Maybe my run is over.

I am humbled. My small rebellion against a major faction was all but overlooked, and now I help said faction by guarding their outpost. It still seems to be going nowhere, however.

I am nervous. I know that my army is walking into a battle that we cannot win, and I can only hope that something happens to stop the battle. My leaders are waning.

I am rich! I stumbled upon a pirate ship full of dead bodies and precious resources - and a picture that my shipmates and I hold quite dearly. Perhaps I'll finally get a full suit of clothing?

I left my company, they were taking me nowhere. I now look for... darker occupations. None to find? Looks like I've got to get creative...

I am a trader, about to become very rich. I've finally made a trade deal that will bring some steady income... this is a very promising time.

That's not all of them, but the rest haven't changed very much.

Do I know you?

Ok My update....



I am a young girl who has suddenly found myself organising a group of people left in an abandoned town. I am fond of a young man but am wary that he might not like me as much as I like him.


I am ashamed of myself, I left them all when the going got tough. I will do better now and it looks like my young man did like me and still does. I'll do my best to make him proud.

I am a man who everyone keeps ignoring and am therefore becoming a loner who cares for no-one. I found some things that were abandoned on the floor in a place and have taken them since no-one seemed to care. Now I'm going to travel and see what I can make of this place where no one cares about me.



I found a girl! she's travelling with me, she need looking after which makes me nervous because I'm not sure I can even look after myself. I'm full of bravado but it's not the only thing I'm full of. Why did I talk to people?


I am a young girl that has found religion in a big way, I want to be a missionary but I didn't take enough food with me and I think I might run out before I get where I am going.....



I made it, I got there and I fulfilled my promise, now I've got to get back but this rice is heavy and it's slowing me down.

I am a girl in an established community. I'm happy doing what I'm told and working hard but I wish someone would hand me some clothes... it's embarrasing being naked with all these people around....



Well I've not got clothes yet but I'm getting less bothered about them. I do like this young man though, he's very sweet and a bit clumsy which makes me feel better about him.

I am a traveller I guess... I found myself helping someone in exchange for food and now I'm going with them somewhere. I have no ambition except to explore the world and become famous for my great deeds.



I don't know where my travelling ambition went, but I've got a new one now. I'm going to be a rich merchant. But then I might just go and see what I can do elsewhere. I do like it here though.... decisions decisions. Maybe I will travel again, or maybe I won't.

NEW
I'm going up and down the coastline (ok just up at this point but then I'll go down) trying to make myself famous. I should be famous, I have talent and there are so many pretty ladies to look at (though quite frankly they scare me to death).

NEW
I spawned in a troubled town where they need help and I am in the right place and have the right abilities to do so. I've joined the local religion and can't wait to find out what I am supposed to believe in.

Time for an update of mine as well... and this time I'll be using the language each of them is playing in, just for practise.

I won't write about the dead ones again, since they obviously didn't change. However, I'll write about all my living characters now, not just some.

I am a brooding warrior without a cause.

I have found a cause, but I somehow expected more than mundane work.

I am young, trusted and happy.

I am still young, but untrusted and very unhappy, contemplating whether the world is worth living in.

I am one for all and all for one.

That won't change in a lifetime.

I am a silent leader.

Ma groupe s'agrandit encore. Je me fais des soucis au sujet des animaux chassant de façon sélective.

I am a mapmaker that keeps getting lost.

Ca fait des ans que j'ai vu la rive, mais au moins je saurai toujours où je suis et comment rentrer. Si jamais je souhaiterais rentrer.

I am a vengeful near-savage.

Les rapports avec d'autres gens m'ont civilisé plutôt, mais je cherche toujours la revanche.

I am a thief in a fortress with lots of stolen riches.

J'ai maintenant une autre forteresse avec des richesses et je suis en train de la décorer.

I am discovering the most intriguing fauna and yet not finding what I set out to seek.

Mi trovighis tion, kion mi serchis, sed mi perdis la vojon.

I am.

Je suis toujours, et je me fais des pensées.

Ones not mentioned before:

I just came back from a boring journey with one of Cantr's most intriguing and sought-after characters. Too bad I only learned of his reputation after we parted.

Ich wollte Einsiedlerin sein. Ich hätte Dolmetscherin werden sollen, so viele Leute aus verschiedenen Regionen tauchen hier auf.

Mi estas iomete enuita, sed chi tiu loko (auh tiu chi kompanio) estas vershajne la plej interesa loko de tute la lando.

Mi ne scias kiu mi estas auh kion mi faru.

for some reason I love doing this,and reading all of yours, very interesting peeps.



I am still a blacksmith, I've become numb to most things, including the death of my boss.

I am still leader of a small tribe, finally aquiring a small town, and my second-in-command has shown alot of potential. I'm waiting for us to grow, then things will become interesting...

I am Finally going to get off this island, but first I must go back to my spawntown, where the one man I hate is. worst still I travel w/ the the one woman I love, and who I seemingly can't have again. woe is me

I return to my capital, worrying over what is to happen to the Empire next

I am now leader of a small business. No one knows the dark plans I have for this town...

I am working on a house, and somehow my one word vocabulary has gotten me quite far, including ownership on this town

I am hunting killers, and being separated from the larger group, I am worried

I am traveling aimlessly, looking for an oppurtunity

I am a ranger watching over a few towns, working my way up the ladder. I am still naive

I am waiting on the response of the woman I think I love, she is all thats stands between me and the dark life I may choose

I am a newspawn eager to help this town grow

I am.... a passionate lover and wander of the wilds
I am.... a Ranger, filled with honor and loyalty, and devoted to my fellows
I am.... a sea Captain, charting coasts and visiting new ports throughout the lands.
I am.... a survivor, trying to provide for others in a rugged land and build up a town
I am.... sweet and innocent, searching for my place in the world, yet unable to find a place where I feel I belong
I am.... a huntress and a fine cook, dwelling in the shady woods amongst many friends
I am.... a delicate creature and a fine seamstress, deftly weilding both needle and wit
I am.... young and adventurous, eager to prove herself to her clan

I'll only do a few of these.....

I was.... the noble Lady of the Mac Gregor, sister of the Nosse, and original owner of the Drojf Bar and Grill (back when it was a respectable business!

I was.... a wildhearted Ranger, and she who delivered the killing blow to Maynard Leeward.

I was.... an infamous pirate that sailed with Rory, escaped to found a pirate town, stole back his Captains boat and kept the Drojf region on it's toes for a goodly time before suffering a sudden heart attack. Never captured to the last breath.

I was.... a healer and peacekeeper in the early days of Karnon Forest, always true to the one she loved until her last breath.

I was.... the enchantress who snared the heart of an infamous rake and wanderer.
