Well that gives me a good excuse, too, Judith. :) And for the record, my dead ones are still dead. And the living are still gray.

<b>Shiver my timbers,</b> those scoundrels (figurative ones as well as the literal ones with the cold) are gone and I've buried my companion. I'm a little grumpy at my shipmate who keeps running us aground, for I've had to assume the helm at times. Sometimes I think I just do it to feel alive, so apologies to my shipmate. However, the most interesting thing happening to me at the moment is my adventure into the OOC world. *

I'm becoming grumpier by the day, being away from the family has carved very deep frown lines, and there is only one thing that will fix it. I hope she returns before all is too late.


I've lost my grumpiness as <b>she has returned,</b> and not a moment too soon. I was probably going to die in a horrific motorcycling accident if she had not. Our love life much resembles our age...unfortunately.

I am the leader of a quiet forest, concerned as all my residents are deceased or away, being so lonely has given me a desire to get away, but I feel obliged to await their return first.


My residents have the most part returned...the live ones that is...and I've been paid a few visits by old out of town friends. Apart from a few nightmares of my youth, I am <b>resigned to the quietness of my grave</b> .

[Our better days are behind us, say my characters, apart from my tendon to Cantr: ]

I am the de facto leader of the Clan, trying hard and determinantly not to be the heir to a legacy, as slated to be my destiny in the long <Cantr> lost tune of "Leader of the Clan"


I have been accepted to my position by all the deciding powers...and in which time, the former Leader and Founder of the Clan has taken to the stars<b>, as my beloved put it.</b> My driving ambition and plan will hopefully get us somewhere, although the recent desertions are not reassuring.

I am...

Still not over the death of my one and only love...trying to help some newspawn, and now mourning the loss of a woman whom I met only briefly but had a big heart and persevered through very rough times...

Trying to get my way off of K-island. I've walked all around this place at least 15 times, and I'm tired of living here. I want to get out and about!

Locked inside my house by the woman I love. I hope she didn't do this on purpose...

Getting very irritated with this one fellow that is trying to trade with me, even though I'd rather kill him and ne'er look two ways about it. I haven't gotten a chance to kill anyone lately... my axe is getting rusty.

Very proud of myself! I built a dinghy for my boss, but I seem to be falling for him more and more every day. It doesn't help that he's giving me pretty things and making me think he likes me too...

Seasick and worried about all this water around me. I wish I could tell the other three passengers how scared I am... I forget what resource we're headed out for, too. I miss my best friend, who saved me from starvation in the mountains. I haven't seen her for years, I hope she's okay...

Under a lot of stress. Running this shop is hard work, and on top of that, I'm sick. Some strange things are going on, and I just wish the owner would get home soon.

Scared...I kissed him, will he still like me now?

So deeply in love that it hurts when he talks about leaving, talks about he has business to attend to. I will follow him to the ends of the earth and walk off the cliff with him. I will kill for him, I would die for him...

Scared but I don't show it. I can't say more, because then they'd kill me.

So thrilled to be alive! What's this? A coconut! I'm so excited...

I'm just doing this cause someone wanted me to, so...




I am bored while I try and get more members while I sometimes pass the time by chatting with my leader.

I am or rather should be bored, but am pretty content just sitting back and talking while nothing, and I mean NOTHING, happens around me.

I am finally getting some clothes. I am rather bored and feeling sad, but hey, I learned how to lie such a long time ago...but things are getting better, faster...still...I'm sort of lonely.

I am thinking about the next step for us to get this company going...or whatever we are.

I am happier. I've been busy and depressed, but someone's manage to put a smile back on my face.

I am calm and collected, but once I get my shit together, those dudes will have to deal with me again....

I am super happy cause I'm getting married.

I am preparing for a battle, but we'll see if there really will be one....

I am just passing the time by finishing projects...I need something exciting to do! I think I'll go traveling...damn, I need some iron and steel, Alright! Something to work toward!

I am just helping out a friend get some wood. I'm very sleepy lately, just getting up every few days. I shouldn't help much longer or all my stuff will rust away.

I am just repairing some tools and weapons and keeping them. Then going home to help my town.

I am heading back to get more food and get some more stuff of mine.

I am mapping Burgeo. I still have lots of places to visit and am running low on healing food, but so excited and happy.

I am just finishing old projects. My life sucks, but I'm alive.

I am just thinking and talking to some newcomer that's hunting someone. I think I should go into weapon making instead of finished old projects...well, I'll do that after I finish all these old potato projects.


I am teaching someone on how to use some machines

I'm on top.


These two are dead.

To allow a chance for things to get better...you know, wait and see instead of just picking up and leaving

If the charri doesn't speak up and express what is being felt...how would the other ever know...?

I am

... sitting in a grand arena, watching a boxing match. I feel thrilled and excited.

... waiting for my business partners. One is asleep, the other is travelling. I have no keys. I'm bored.

... wandering, I have lost all direction travelling. Trading isn't as fun as I thought it would be. I want to do something else but I know no place to go. I'm bored and without friends. I think I'll just fade away and die.

... a silent and happy part of a friendly town. I have no job and no position but I have food, protection and tools. I help out other citizens and sometimes go inside my room to work on my autobiography, which seems to be a bit dull so far.

... travelling back towards my home town with iron, stone and a brand new made axe. I can't wait to recommence the felling of tall trees and feeling the power of being a mighty guard and lumberjack.

... sitting on a galleon that is lying silent for a shore. The leader is working out a plan, but I'm just enjoying myself on the rippling waves while the wind blows around the ship. Yet every now and then I look at our leader, that handsome and strong man and I feel a small longing inside me.

... busy providing a trader from another business with limestone. Although he seems to be carrying quite a lot already.

... building my temple. I'm so excited. Long have I been gathering the stone, yet now this hall of my own glory and splendour will rise.

... travelling with my injured companion towards a place where we may find healing foods. Yet I'm frightened that he may be killed before we arrive, or that I lose him on the way.

... maintaining the peace in my city by the sea. I have exchanged a bit of resources with a motorized trader and to my satisfaction have obtained a bit of a shiny metal. I'd like to make something with it, but I'll need more. So I will make a small supply for when the trader comes by again. I am also very concerned with the recent arrival of foreigners. Six or seven people speaking a strange language are in town now and they have trouble abiding by the laws, given that some of them can't understand them. One of them turned into a note thief, and others have been attacking protected animals. Luckily two of them are trying to learn my language, so I won't have to kill any other than that one guy who barefisted attacked a pigeon. I feel sorry for killing him, but the law is law. I'm also proud of this mighty battle axe I have, it makes me feel more certain of myself, stronger and invincible. I think this makes me feel very happy.

... as part of a communist village, I'm gathering healing foods for my comrades who have been injured by a pirate attack. I'm also trying my best to hunt down the vast wildlife population, and to stop them attacking us.

... building my own house and beginning to get interest in village politics. The town leader has died, and there may be need of elections. Interesting and exciting the future seems to me.

... am working on setting up my trade business. The storage room is ready, the tools are ready, the business partner is also enthusiast and hard-working. Now all I need is more employees, but this town is so sleepy. Well, at least we are already with two.

... am not well. I slapped a man on the back and now he is pursueing me everywhere I go. He will probably kill me, I see no way to survive.

... am laughing. I run into a town, entered a building and took all the smoked meat I could carry. Then I ran off, and nobody noticed. The start of a great career as a thief.

In order of age,

I...

...am very, very proud of the honest moral crew I've enlisted. Riches are nothing to me. This is the world. No fleet matches this.

...am hastily setting up a government and rapidly utilising every possible person available to really create this city into a lucrative trade-center.

...am a real asshole to everyone, and would never even THINK of doing a fair trade. One day I'll find them, my original saviours, my true friends, and leave this horrid island. (that was definately not vague, you have to be stupid not to figure that one out ;) )

...am a political prisoner who's morals drove him to the brink of insanity, and his desire to kill pushed him off the brink. Did have a massive plan, did say some well-spoken speeches which is still being praised OOC to date.

...sure not doing right cause now hematite Tirasu but it found nope for you! Carrot do never thing such, would why that do Carrot that?

...*stands up as a layer of dust finally completely covers him. Dusts himself off and worries that the 'army' is after him* Dusty Soldier? Maybe...
