I am returning home from a years-long resource trip, having passed through lands the Barrons recently decimated. I fear for my home town, which has already been through so much.

I am unutterably, completely, irremediably alone. Everything I do, every resource I gather or tool I make or home I construct or machine I hope for, I do alone.

I am a leader in a mid-size town that is going places.

I am gathering diamonds, and I am not a very attentive friend.

I co-own a thriving business that is about to take off.

I am a small-fish jeweler in a big-fish city.

I am a pirate that has ravaged towns on two continents, and now is trying to go straight. Maybe. Maybe.

I am stuck on a boat that was named for one of my former charries, with a captain who is a lunatic.

I am an autistic savant who cannot speak or read, but is an expert farmer and draws with uncanny accuracy.

I am a prophet.

I am slowly dying of boredom in the land of Rus.

How can a char resent being replaced when he retired?

If they're the characters I believe they are, I have characters worried about both of them. Well...Worried about one, occasionally wondering about the other.

Given that most of my creations act and sound more or less alike, I'm sure you can guess this one:

I am in the Imperial Guard of Lad. :)

I am in the mountains, following the dreams of my friend.

I'm recovering from loss by visiting old friends.

I'm wandering aimlessly in the mountains, unsure what to do with my life.

I am enjoying a new life.

I have given up on the place I saw as home, and am heading away from it continuously.

I am worried for my leader, and for my employees.

I am waiting for something to happen, my crewmates sleep so often.

I am helping a young woman with her aims, and ensuring her safety as protector.

I am running away from a battle I promised to fight in, but considering turning back due to a new found friendship.

I am struggling to keep control of a leadership role, and do not believe myself capable.

I am heartbroken as I watch the only person I have ever cared for in the arms of another, knowing I had my chance, and knowing I can still never leave their side.

I am happy in my own way, but perhaps no one else would judge me that way

I'm working hard to make my town great, but all achievements arrive with a dark background.

Am helping my town but have resigned myself to never finding love.

I would feel alone if I had enough sense to notice the fact.

I am stealing a load of really valuable things from a group that I’m supposed to be helping

I am returning to Alexilad after successfully running a town because there have been no orders for a while

I am sitting in the desert thinking how to get back into the town I was unfairly thrown out of

I am building a boat to get out of a forest that imprisoned me just for being there

I am feeling lonely and bored in some mountains…….. still am fairly wealthy :D

I am making wooden things for a commune and wondering when the ‘heroic age’ when people wore copper rings was

I am riding through the mountains praying I can find the battle in time

Returning home with a load of limestone looking for a blackrock, just one will do…

Hmm, it's been awhile since I did this :)

I am burying myself within my work to ignore the still aching void in my heart. My thoughts have grown bitter lately, even dark, but I don't let anyone else know.

I am among those I consider my closest friends, and happy to be there - but still lonely and wishing for something that still remains out of my grasp.

I am sailing on an endless sea of blue. It's been many years now since I last saw land and I'm determined to find something new. At least the food supply is still quite good, even if I am eating alot more.

I am back home from a resource trip, to find my little fledgling town in the wilderness is filled with new faces. At least we can start up iron production again.

I constantly work on odd projects and enjoy the lake view. Every day I look towards the road in hopes of getting some sort of word from the person I have strong feelings for.

I am up to my ears in projects that need doing for my town, thankfully I have many good friends and an active community. I wish the man I love would wake up from his long sleep, but in the meantime my emotional thoughts have gone down a road I've never visited before.

I've decided to try and make as many different clothing styles as I possibly can - my store room already has vast piles of things, but one should always be prepared for the odd request. My apprentice is out of town at the moment, so it's quite quiet.

I'm bored of sitting around doing nothing, so I've decided to go wander for a bit. Perhaps build a boat and leave the island.

I'm trying to gather enough wood for a boat, but I seem to be the worst wood gatherer ever. It's going to be a while.

I'm working diligently for my new employer, one day I hope to have some iron goods. I'm not feeling very talkative right now, and the man who has a thing for me is probably wondering why I've been so quiet.

I'm an expert chef, but have been drafted into helping with an upcoming war. I worry for my friends, as they seem to be having heart attacks left and right.

I've gone and fallen for a man in the middle of turbulent times. I only hope we both survive so that we might be able to pursue a future together.

I'm on a special assignment, and things seem to be going quite smoothly. Things are much more interesting that what I was doing before. :twisted:

I'm happily building my boat, not sure what I plan to do after that though as I've come to really like my hometown. Perhaps traveling the coast to bring things needed back home.

I might as well do a few.

I am gathering wood, same as I have done for the last 25 years. I have managed to improve my forestry skill from novice to expert from all of that work.

I am building a mud hut on a huge deserted island. I wonder how long I will stay before the sea takes me away again.

I am sailing for iron supplies. I haven't had much luck so far, but I hope to become an expert trader.

I am finially realizing the fruits of trading as I create thousands of grams of iron.

I am a Stone Knight protecting a large town. Building a quarry is taking so much of my time.

I have left my former job and dedicated my life to a religion. I have decided I need to wander for awhile.

I somehow got left in charge of a smithy in a huge city. I can't wait for my boss to return since I can't help but feel inadequate.

I am playing around with machines. I have access to plenty of wealth, so I am just making tons of pizza for fun.

I am off to war. I don't know if I will ever return, but I hope so since there are many things left that I need to do, and so many things I need to say to other people in my life.

I haven't been doing much spying lately, but I still keep close tabs on the people around me.

I am a successful trader, but I keep working hard so that I might be able to trade this rickshaw in for something that moves a bit faster.

I have been sailing around this large landmass so far from the people I once knew. Exploring and discovering new things takes all of my time.

I am stuck in a nearly deserted forest with one other person, on an even more deserted island. The hunting is good, but I can't help but feel that I need to go and find somewhere else to live.

For my characters that are now 40:

I am at a city, trading for years work worth of salted meat so I won't starve in the mountains.

I am trying to take care of a town while the other active citizens are away.

I am on a trading trip for a town, trading mass amounts with a tandem.

I am still travelling to the sea with a friend.

I am a corporal, getting ready to finally fight tbr.

I am a leader of a small town, chasing a pirate.

I am a waystation manager.

I am still producing mass amounts of iron and steel.

I am a deputy, and have been on the sea much of my life.

I am in a guard system, working to create iron and steel.

I am chopping wood to create a sloop, after finally earning the iron, and am one of the only ones who knows both Spanish and German.

I am a half-leader of a town, and am doing fine.

I am a leader of a small town, with citizens who have abandoned, and the rest are asleep. I've finally gotton to creating some composite recurve bows.

I am building a road to help other people, after which to set out to explore.
