He's dead, and it's my fault. If I hadn't screwed up...If I hadn't tried to run away from my problems...he would care. And he would still be alive. I must suffer for what I've put him through...It's the only way...I'll go back...and then I'll tell them, and then I'll lock myself away forever. Yes, that's what I'll do.

I am...

A 31 year old woman who ran from the only person she ever loved, because she was falsely told of his love for her. She left, was chased by said man, and attacked.

A 31 year old woman who is, and has been for quite awhile now, engaged. However, he remains asleep most days, and she is growing steadily more worried about him.

A 30 year old woman, who is finally settling down with someone. However, they've decided that they don't need to get married to be together....or rather, that they don't need it to be official, for them to be married.

A 29 year old woman who used to work in the Blacksmith's, but now works in a tool shop. However, she is contemplating leaving, and finding somewhere else where she could be of more help.

A quiet 23 year old man that no one speaks to, and that everyone ignores completely. However, he chooses to stay where he is, rather than leave to find somewhere where he could be better noticed.

A 23 year old woman who has fallen in love with the local deputy, but misses the company of the trees in the nearby forest, where she spawned.

A quiet 21 year old woman who wants to leave where she is because she finds it boring, but is afraid of the dangers of traveling.

A playful 21 year old woman who, the few times she -does- speak, is a rather quiet person. But if you get to know her, she becomes extremely outgoing. She's just a bit shy to begin with.

Anyone know me? :P :D

I AM...a quiet woman. Once happy, but now just looking to find a life..something to stimulate her mind. What was once a vibrant active woman, is now just a lonely, saddened soul. Maybe she can find someone to love her, hopefully to understand her, which could prove to be a problem.


She found that someone...He tries really hard to understand, and does such a fine job! She is happy, content...and in love :)

I AM...A woman who still greives the loss of her husband after 11 years. Her life has been a series of ups and downs. For awhile, she lost touch with reality, but something happened to bring her back. Once, a mysterious man came to visit her, traveled far from his path to meet her....she still thinks about him and his promise.


He fulfilled his promise and returned to her...Though she still has significant loss of memory...She has come to terms with her husbands death (1056) Though she still may never love again, she is finding peace..
I AM...A woman who married a merchant. A smart and wise man, who gives her the world, but all she asks for is his love, which he gives her. She is beyond happy, she is stable and would do anything for her man, even give her life if need be.


Life seems to have stopped for her..She is still with her husband, and happy to be...but they don't speak, have no goals..they just exist....:(

I AM..A woman married to a business owner. She was once happy with her life, but has become bored and just takes each day as it comes. Thoughts of running away haunt her..but where would she go?


She did it...she ran away...:)

I AM...A woman in love with a 'bad boy'. She lives a quiet life. Not making progress on anything but tool repair...but it doesn't matter...life is beautiful...even with that threat that hangs in the air.

She is growing so sad...He (the bad boy) just sleeps now...Very injured by the animals...an old friend has returned, and refuses to leave until her love awakes...

I AM...A woman who works novicely as a seamstress. Her lifes partner beside her, helping her, even though (she beleives) he would rather do something else with his life...he has dedicated his life to making hers happy.


She now makes CHEEEEEESE :) And when her lifemate seen that another started paying attention to her...he decided it was time to awaken :p

I AM...A woman who, at the moment, is traveling with an interesting man. One who is quite different than others. After a recent death...she had to go away...to leave and clear her head. Thanks to the one she travels with, this is becoming easier to do. Life for her has taken a rather interesting turn.

She has returned home...but it is so quiet there..and there seems to be a change in the man that strikes her interest...she worries for him.
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.

Since his death, she has been through alot..She has been attacked by pirates..and the LAW..who hit her without asking any questions...She now has a young one traveling with her..she has returned to her homeland...

I AM...A business woman who just returned from a working vacation. Her heart still desires a man who rejected her love (sort of rejected) But on her travels, She met a man that may be able to change that...if she ever meets him again.


Well, she has met someone new...someone who makes her laugh and smile...and is teaching her that it is ok to love...(without even trying) She still works hard in the business and has expanded her clothing bussiness to include foods..cooked/baked, smoked and pressed!

I am... old, alone and lost at sea. Next time I'll get a map.

I am... Repairing, Repairing, Repairing... will it never end?

I am...doing a pretty good job managing a Sanctuary in the Mountains... with help from my good friends.

I am...trying to avoid being a senator in a resource rich town, but I cannot avoid the politics.

I am... building roads and things in the desert... What is soda for anyway?

I am... pulling wires after a long trip. Can't wait to get outside and make some noise again.

I am... wondering how such a big town can be managed by so few people. Being a temporary councillor is really boring with such an efficient police force.

I am... developing a great hate for what happened to me that stole my life and I am trying to figure out why both the good guys and the bad guys ruined me equally. I have resolved that I will never work for someone again.

I am... getting the mining team ready for the next big push... and wishing I had a bag full of diamonds about now.

I am... sailing back to my home after some interesting adventures. Thinks some towns are really strange.

I am... the Queen who is smoking like crazy and just signed up her second assistant. I have my eye on the local big shot... and I know some of the other fellows in town like me too.

I am... by default in charge of the town and I'm worried about the return of the villains of our island.

I am still a Stone Knight.. I am actually making a better society out of those other Stone Knights, or so I think.. Our forest is entering the electronic era, well, will enter it as soon as I finish building that radio!!

Dee wrote:I am a trader who left her town looking for new things in life, and now she's in the hills, and everyone got locked up by some pirates. She's trying to help them getting rid of those pirates, no one listens to her, though.


I am no longer a trader, and no longer fighting pirates. My life is dull, has always been. The only change is that I am now a DoUrden..

Dee wrote:I am a trader who lost the one she loved and another friend due to the sleeping sickness... She's not lost in the middle of the sea.


I joined a company that holds the same name as the old clan she and her dead boyfriend created... She's always quiet, but she's happy with what she has and with who she is.

My ex-bestfriend died. My best friend died. My best friend's friend died. My best friend's friend's boyfriend died. My boyfriend died... I am bad luck.. BUT I am second in charge... A knight of the KORT!

My boyfriend died of sleeping sickness, but I now have members in my trading guild that are actually active and are doing their job as they should be.. I love my job, I was thinking of quitting, but hell I do love my job!

Dee wrote:I have been rejected by TBR. She hates Erin of TBR, and she intends on training so that if she ever sees Erin again, she'd kill her.


I forgot all about Erin.. I ran for Senate but wasn't elected. I am working in the production center, it's very boring in there...

My friend died.. I am now the chef of the hills I'm living in, and I have an assistant!!

My assistant and I are in love :D our work is really successful and people like our clothes... I also think I am fairly well known throughout the whole island.

It's been a little while since I last filled all of you excited listeners in.

I am carting coal back to a remote town in hopes of achieving my dream... a military position. It's been almost twenty-five years coming, and it may finally be within my grasp.

I've been robbed of my position. The ambitious leader of the town is conveniently missing, and a group of soft-hearted... councillors - oh, how I HATE that word! - are running the show now. *grumbles*

I've returned to my home after a long, disappointing business trip. One of my employees is bumbling about the wilderness, and another is here with me making something of our lives.

I'm at it again. My bumbling employee was found dead, and I was very sad for a while, but I've since made iron with my other man and he's watching the shop while I trade it off.

I've made it back to my city... oh, how I love it there. My hotel is fine, finally getting open for business! Maybe this year... or the next year...

Still working on it... sort of. I'm mostly building my own room, and helping someone with their presents. I'll get there eventually.

I am bored. And hopeless. Maybe some pirates will come by and kill me.

Still bored, still hopeless. Nobody's spoken for days. I'm leaving tomorrow if nothing happens, and I'll do what I should have done a long time ago.

I am a knight... devoted to my order and to my town. I just hope I can actually make a difference.

The town is so quiet. A few friends died, and a few more went back to the desert. One went to the forest, and another went to trade... my mentors are home but sleeping, and my apprentice hasn't spoken in years. *sighs*

I am putting the final chapters into my greatest work yet, the cornerstone of my faith. My town is likely to disregard it, as they have all of my other myths and teachings. Ungrateful....

I've been travelling and am returning home. I've spread the word and given gifts and come home feeling better... let's just hope it works.

We found it! Finally! And it's completely uninhabited! Or are they coming back? I don't know, mates...

Not completely uninhabited! I've found an islander, and I'm going to visit her, like I promised I would. I just hope she's still around, eh?

I've been moved from my hometown and stationed in its colony... without explanation or an apparent reason. Sometimes I wonder about my leaders...

There was a little discrepency with a new private and some fraudulent letters... if I ever find that little jerk I'm gonna kill him! Anyway, I'm on my way back to the colony.

I am still writing, don't worry. I'll be around to enrich your lives for years to come. And yes, I've decided that I do like her. I just hope she wakes up.

Having a little bit of an inspiriational rut right now. I wrote a poem about a murderer that a few people liked, but not much since that. Not anything, really.

I'm sailin', eh? Not likin' it one bit. Nothin' to hunt, but plenty of meat for eatin'. I hope there's some good game wherever we're goin', eh? Wouldn't wanna waste the trip.

Still sailin'... and sailin'... and sailin'... if I don't hunt somethin' soon, I'm gonna lose my touch.

I am plotting, but it looks hopeless. This town is too poor, I may go south. But the resources are all here... hmm...

I found a town with promise, but they've got the wrong idea. Always the wrong idea. I've got plenty of food now, though... perhaps I'll be able to trick my way into what I want.

I found out that getting rich wasn't as easy as I thought it was. Some complications arose, but I'm still on the trade route. Patience...

I'm getting there. Any year now I'll have my house and won't have to worry about these worthless goods. I can trade what matters.

I've pretty much given up all hope of entertainment. I'm sewing clothes for myself in a town. The view of the mountains is nice, but the company is lacking. I'm sure to be pretty with my new clothes, though!

My boss hasn't given me my clothes yet. Maybe he likes how I look in my sari. He keeps making me hammer together these awful boots. So many buckles, and they're so tall! My legs need air, I could never wear them.

I've just spawned... in paradise. The view is amazing, and the people are so nice! It's too bad I'll have to do this to them... or do I have to? We'll see, won't we?

It's not quite paradise, oh no it isn't! So many animals, and all they do is fight! I feel so bad for the wounded, I'll pick berries until my fingers fall off! Forget my silly plans!

Estoy cultivando zanahorias porque no tengo nada de comida. Cuando estoy terminado, voy a subir mi lancha y ir... pues, no sé. Voy a ir.

Ahora estoy en mi barco en el mar, persiguiendo mis amigos. Vamos al bosque, pienso. Siento bien en el mar.

Time for an update for mine... last one was in October ;-)
I am a brooding warrior without a cause.

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

On an expedition now, this could get interesting, if people weren't ignoring me.

I am young, trusted and happy.

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

I have found some measure of happiness again, and a purpose in life.

I am one for all and all for one.

That won't change in a lifetime.

Ditto.

I am a silent leader.

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

On commence à les contrôler et ma groupe est devenu riche. Maintenant, le plus grand problème est la maladie des dormeurs.

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.

Après plus que 100 jours de voyage, j'ai enfin vu une rive ce matin. J'ai changé ma direction alors, j'ai hâte de revoir des gens, même s'ils parlent une affreuse lange, et de remplir mes stocks de nourriture.

I am a vengeful near-savage.

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

J'ai pris fuite des gens, la vie était dévenu trop sédentaire.

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.

Je suis toujours à la recherche de plus de richesses. Présentement, je pense les 'acquérir' d'une ville proche. Mon talent de combat m'aide beaucoup, pourtant il serait mieux d'avoir un accomplice. Peut-être j'en trouverai dans cette ville.

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.

Mi chiam ne trovis la vojon, sed mi trovis paradison! Nur... kion faras miaj kunvojaghantoj?

I am.

Je suis toujours, et je me fais des pensées.

Le roi est mort, vive le roi!

Ich bin Missionar in einem neuen Land.
