So far, it's not as intriguing as it might sound.

I was a leader of a large town, a member of a secret spy network, and desperate for the head of said network to come home--only he never did.

I was a member of the Nosse (on my laptop so I can't make the ' over it), a much loved and loving wife, an innocent with rosey glasses which covered, for her, any of the bad things that happened in her town. Which is strange because she survived Cracktar, and the attack on Drojf, even the death of her Father. She was certainly a gentle soul.

I was a respected member of a town I loved, and when asked to go into the desert to help out, I did. I died a death of surprise, killed outright by thieves when I tried to help them by giving them food.

I was a Lance Cpl. of the Lad army, killed in the fight against Brinks Forest, and loyal to the last.

I was a leader of a town I hated because all of my friends had been murdered by an attack. I was the only one who managed to live and when my leaders sent me back there, I contemplated suicide but ended up making the attempt. In the end, I just couldn't do it anymore and left myself foodless inside a building, unable to take it another moment and wishing someone would put me out of my misery.

I was a quiet bread-maker, in charge of a granary. I was secretly the confidant of many members of my town, a few of them extreemly high ranking. I loved my friends and helping keep my town fed and strong.


((there are more I just can't think of them off the top of my head right now))

I am, surprisingly, in charge of a small town for right now because the real leader is asleep. I never much liked this town, but I was too shy to ever leave and when the leader I was secretly in love with died, I cried myself to sleep a few nights and decided I had to live on for him.

I am a man who is misunderstood by most around him. Though a man of action, I have a sensitive side that few see or know about. My friends tend to be older, because they have been through more. I'm just looking for love and happiness.

I am in love with someone who will never love me. I can't even really express myself very well, so she probably will never know. The words just can't come from my mouth. She is in love with someone else. Doesn't she see that I love her? I treat her better and with more respect than anyone else in my life. I saved her....didn't I? I guess you can't buy love, but I might just leave and kill myself slowly.

I'm the leader of a small band of men and women who are slowly dimenishing from the sleeping sickness. The original plan was to take over the island. Now I'll just be happy with finishing our home.

I am the much-loved girlfriend of a rather confused man. No worries though, I can handle his moods. After all, he's much different talking to me than to anyone else. I'm not sure what my lifes path will be but we have a home and a home-town. Unfortunately, my job pays nothing and I hear an offer recently for a job that does. Do I let down the man I promised to help? I just want a lock for my home!

I'm in love with someone quite unusual, who loves me back. I used to be much more quiet, but this person noticed me when nobody else would or could. So now I'm in charge of a LOT more than I ever wanted. Somehow, I'm happy about this.

I am a proud Mac Gregor who offended someone recently without meaning to. I was just having some fun!

I am a sweet but confident young woman gather coal with her boyfriend for her town. Only I don't know if I like him quite as much as he likes me. We don't have ANYTHING to talk about!

I'm on an island full of killer animals, trying ot build up a small town and hoping that more people spawn in this place. Only, not so many thieves. The last new-spawn who lived stole many of their tools darn it!

I am COMPLETELY in love, infatuated, and so very happy to be around. This little town is growing, which can be a bad thing. Buuut that also means there is more fun to be had and more goods to be traded. I'm so glad all my farming isn't for naught.

I hate my town and where I'm at. I hate it I hate it! This really sucks and all there is to do is gather healing food. Sometimes I hate that I can't hurt someone or steal something so someone will kill me.

I am attempting to become quite the traveler but ended up right back at home again. Will I ever get to see the world? I sure hope so.

LOL. Wow. I never really knew. Honest. I'm flattered, and quite happy to have a charrie who was well loved. I'm only sorry I let my account time out. So many well-loved--apparently not just by me--charries.

I am very happy with my current setting. I've arriven at a barely inhabited island, where the hunting is great. I've always enjoyed a good hunt. I await my wife's return to our ship so that we can go to another area of the island and continue with what we have set out to do here.

I'm being followed! Followed! They're following me! They're having me tailed! I don't know what to do.... Don't know what to do.... Except run! Go home! Quick! If the trees are having me tailed, then they'll send more. There's never only one. Nope... Always a bunch... Yeah. Yeah... Evil trees. Always after me... Funny thing about that, though, I live in a forest. Some trees aren't bad.... Some are....

I'm a blacksmith. Let me do my damn job. I started my company with only two people. One of them is gone. I've had my life's work stolen from under my nose twice. I had workers. They come. They go. They live. They die. They get paid and leave. They stay on without pay and vanish without a trace. I'm hoping one in particular will come back, though it doesn't seem like it will happen. Whatever. I'll continue on with my business until I die, if need be.

A calm man of the mountains, I am. Collect resources when I need to, I will. Food, I must travel for. Hematite, do I trade. Many people, I meet along my travels. Return to my mountains, I do. Collect and crush hematite, I do. Change, that might, once a vehicle, I have. Hope, I do, that she will come back to the mountains.... Here, I am, for many years, in the mountains. A dead woman's dream, Alexandra's dream, I wish to fulfill as well....

I speak in third person, but don't let that fool you. I'm intelligent enough to logically work out anything I need to. My current problems are all related to the forest I live in. We don't want governments. Don't try to put your business where it's not welcome. We are free and hope to always be that way. We accept trades readily, since our only food source is from animals or another town. I really need to get back to the forest so that we can start making steel and get a good vehicle and some useful tools.

I am a captain of a ship. I am with my wife. We travelled from another island to this new island. We just want to find our home. We left it in search of resources, but the names on this land are strange and hard to remember. We've both forgotten our home's name and now we have to find it... We will find it... I hope.

I am a Jack of all Trades for hire! I have a home, where she is, but I needed to get out of town for a while. I'm used to travelling and want to go out for a bit. Collect some resources. Do some jobs. Just generally get some fresh air. I'll go back, though. I can't stay away for too long.

I am a man of peace. I don't like fighting and I don't like weapons. I hope to one day rid the world of the need for weapons. How did this come about? I used to farm for carrots for years, but one day I travelled. I saw a vision. From then on, I saw visions just about everywhere. They showed me ships in deserts. They showed me violence. They showed me people giving things to other people. These visions inspired me. Now I try to end violence wherever I can, no matter how hurt I get in the process....

I am two people in one, though many don't know it. In times of happiness, joy, sorrow, or grief, I am one man, but in times of stress, confusion, or danger, I am another. I wait with the woman I will marry, waiting for her to wake up. I am a giant of a man with a simple mind. I was a warrior, but now simply protect those that are close to me.

I am a poet and an explorer. I gather resources at the request of the person who gave me my ship. I spent my first years lost at sea. Many, many years. I had no friends for a long, long time. I found a friend, whom I helped to get his own ship. I found another poet, whom I felt I needed to meet as soon as I read her poetry. I met her, but didn't want to leave. I'll be back to speak with her, though, I'm sure.... I just need to deliver my stock...

I am a man who was born in the wild. I lived there until I reached the age of 20. I found a city and learned the human language in less than a year.
I travelled to a forest, where I fit in perfectly. I move much like an animal would, and look like one, too, somewhat. I'm learning to read and I'm feeling things that I've never felt before... I want to understand things, but have a hard time, sometimes. I know one thing, though. I don't want any harm to ever come to my friends....

I was spawned on an island of hell. I found a kindred spirit in a woman and we travelled the island together. We were beaten, imprisoned, starved, and mauled many times. A kind woman took us from the island. She brought us to safety, where we went off on our own. The woman I was with, my kindred spirit, died. I want revenge. I want to destroy the team that destroyed the life I could have had. I want my island back. I want my home. I want to protect any that could be enslaved by them....

I am a tradesman who has travelled for years, collecting and trading everything I can. I have an excellent stockpile of valuable resources, thanks to my good friend, whom I helped to get his own bike and begin his own trading. We will go our seperate ways and I will search for more to collect and trade.

I. Hate. Everything. I hate resources. I hate gathering them. I hate machines. I hate building them. I hate buildings. I hate talking. I hate taking orders. I hate the fact that everyone wants to know my name. I hate animals. Hell, I even hate people. There's only one thing I like. One thing I enjoy. Hunting. I love the feeling you get when you end an animal's life. I love watching it slump to the ground. I love knowing that I have that strength to do that.... I just love it....

I want to learn. I am a simple newspawn who is trying to learn everything he can about gathering resources, using resources, building machines, and using machines. I want to know everything I can about them all. I don't mind people, but that's not what I'm interested in. I work for a company, but that's merely a side job to what I want. I simply want to know....
When night and day meet, amazing things seem to happen...

Here's an update of all I care much to update on for now. No particular order or anything. So.. yes...

I am getting married on 1250 to a devilishly wonderful man. Toolsheds and silk bushes beware! ;) I anticipate many years of fun and games while we run a clothing business with a very dear friend of ours. Now if only that friend will find himself a lovely girl as well. :lol:

I am still building my home, and the man I had started to care about died unexpectedly. I didn't even realize he'd died until I went to say something to him, but could not find him or his body. The last words he'd spoken to me were about making future plans and he'd not gone anywhere since that time. He must've died and been buried before I realized it. At any rate, I'm determined to not let anyone else be more than a friend. I was content before, just building and being oblivious to men's hints and compliments. Though there's one person that might manage to break down my defenses. I've always harboured a soft spot for him, though I'd scarce admit it.

I am locked on a bike! Let me out! :lol: At any rate, I slept too long (grr) and missed the chance to get off at home, so now I'm back to where I had been before. My consolation is that I've got good company where I'm at and many things to look forward to when I do get home. My best friend is getting married, and there's a guy there very determined to win over my affections despite the little time we've had together. Of course, who knows who might eventually accomplish that feat. I'm a very determined flirt. Hopefully I can return home soon enough, though. Besides, how bad can things be when you can spend your time flirting? ;)

I am still helping work towards building an army to take over the one place I hate most. :twisted:

I am still living in paradise with my worry-wart boyfriend. I still love him dearly though. I guess his worrying endears him to me though. :) I worry about him nearly as much as he does about me, even if I don't show it as much. He really doesn't need to worry so much though. I always wake up.

I am tough and not very friendly. I'm not unfriendly, but I do not care much for people. I do enjoy chasing down criminals though.

I am helping my friend gather wood before my boyfriend and I go on to explore more of the world in which we live.

I had all the wood from a trade taken away on a boat that I helped someone build and travelled with. Oh well. I'll get more wood and build another one. Perhaps I shall become a pirate. The least she could've done was leave me 5k for the dinghy that I wanted to make.

I am still a hardworking member of a unique group. I love my life there and the way it is governed.
Glitch! is dead! Long live Glitch!
Remember guys and gals, it's all Pretendy Fun Time Games!
