To recap my own post about my charries from back in January ...

Agar wrote:I am ... a former note thief now partially in charge of a town I stole notes from, and wondering if it matters to anyone ...


Yup, no one cares. Really. Still blocked about my future. No idea what tomorrow brings anymore, but I don't really care about it anymore either.

Agar wrote:I am ... stranded on an island packed with hostile animals and wondering if the man with the key to the boat is EVER going to wake up...


Got back home, very much to my regret. Currently trying to find a place to lay down and die. After some answers.

Agar wrote:I am ... A leader in denial, priest without robes, tireless worker and merciless hunter.


Less priest, even less mercy for the animals (I was "blessed by Aki"), losing leadership and becoming more insular, since everytime I leave, things seem to go to shit.

Agar wrote:I am ... glad to be lost at sea, so long as we never find TBR again.


Seem to be hanging out with Surlys #9. :D

Agar wrote:I am ... getting tired of gathering rubber. Gezze!


Still reeling from the news, stunned, and starting a new religeon ... again ...

Agar wrote:I am ... reconsidering exactly why I wanted to sail if it's that easy to get lost.


Found my way and a new passage to a great land ... only to have everyone and the horse they rode in on doing the same thing. But now, I have a new plan ...

Agar wrote:I am ... sailing around the world. Still.


Finally found the northern edge of a vast new land. (Really, it's like, stupid huge) Now I can get back on course ... one I figure out how far back I have to go to get about where I started ...

Agar wrote:I am ... still laughing at the assholes of Bob.


I am ... counting our food supply. How many days before we have to turn back? Can this thing go any faster?

Agar wrote:I am ... escaping, no I'm not, dodged that, ok I'm fine, ack! a saber, thanks for the onions, I had nothing to do with it.


Dead.

Agar wrote:I am ... still repairing things. Does it ever stop?


Yay! I'm done with repairing. Now, WOOD! I like the wood.

And only one new one:

I am ... sharing one of the most powerful weapons of the land with my allys!!!

Pass that bone spear back once you've hunted, ok? :lol:
Reality was never my strong point.

I know who that is, and she's awesome. :) And I don't think she's really losing leadership, she's one of the better town leaders I've seen, and hardly anything would ever get done without her. (As for the 'priest' thing, like I said in the RP thread, I wish you would do more with that)

Thus one persons name for that town. There's like 4 different names for it, one on each map.

Gonna be real hard mapping anything out there, everyone is going to call everything different! :lol:

As for the other ... She used to have near absolute, now ... there's like 5 different sects there, mainly made out of boredom. "Hey guys, follow me, m'kay?" "S'allright". Any how, she hasn't diminshed any, and she has plans. Same kind of plan that involves everyone. Still strong.

Hey! I made one of those names! sorry for the lack of name creativity though, I must admit, it was a really lame name.

I am...lucky to be alive. So many close calls, one just a few days ago. My mentor, my best friend and the only woman I've loved have all died. Such is the life of a pirate, even if I do what I do for the greater good. Now I've got to get the hell away from this island and begin recruiting more crewmates. I will have my fleet someday.
I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer.

I am a sailor and explorer who helped discover a continent and is now helping to map it.

I am a family matriarch who lost the love of her life. She is proud of how her family has grown.

I am a builder, a politician, and a spiritualist. I am driven by my ideals.

I AM . . .a boy in a man's body who idolizes his boss and loves his work. But he's beginning to wonder if he should find a nice girl to marry.

I AM . . .a mentally disturbed wanderer who is now on a quest to find a certain individual and trying to avoid the Stone Knights because they scare him.

I AM . . .a young woman helping to found a community who does not want to lead, but constantly steps up to the plate when called upon.

I AM . . .an ambitious man trying to join the Stone Knights because he's seen how much power they have.

I AM . . .a genial fellow who wants to travel and sell ice cream.

I AM . . .a young woman who always does what's in her best interest and has joined an organization that suited her needs well for a time, but is now thinking of leaving to strike out on her own and see if she can do better.

I AM . . .a young woman who was traumatized early-on when she feigned the sleeping sickness for a few weeks to avoid being killed by bandits. She is waiting for the chance at revenge and feels useless because she can't fight.

I AM . . .a priest who's utter misogyny has yet to publically surface as he builds a following.

I AM . . .a sleepy woman on a boat with a sleepier captain who is convinced she's going to starve to death before he wakes and finds land but has grown increasingly apathetic about it.

I AM . . .a deluded rock digger who is convinced she should be a princess. Someday she'll travel to a new land and tell everyone she was royalty or somesuch.

I AM . . .the equivalent of an evangelical Christian in my recruiting tactics.

I AM . . .a sociopath dedicated to striking it rich at any cost.

I guess that says something about Cantr religions right there, that having even one follower can be considered doing 'extremely well'. :D I've tried starting a couple myself without much more luck than that...

Well it's been over 6 months now so I figured I should have another go at it.

I am working for a mining company and unexpectantly was trusted by the owner and for this he has my undieing loyalty

I have now been made one of the Councillors in that town and am struggling to balance duties with mining responsibilities.

I am working for a couple and have recetly taken a liking to travelling after discovering how much fun bike riding is

I am working towards the realization of a dream I have had many times cycling between towns. Still with the same company and being rewarded for my loyalty.

I am an unfortunate soul who happened upon misfortune early in life and is now stuck in a bank all alone waiting for the generous bank manager to find healing foods

I am now just idly biding my time helping out where I can but mostly just wanting my wounds to be healed. The politics of the place sustain me.

I am a craftsman who takes fierce pride in the house built with my own two hands

I am returning from my second voyage to my home town where it hardly feels like home anymore. At least the people still love me... I think

I am a prisoner aboard a pirate ship trying to put the murder of my friends behind me. Am trying to achieve the trust of the pirates, but am stuggling with how to do this without taking anyone's life

I am free and greatful for my freedom and have committed my life to giving life giving food...free. Anything to put my grief stricken path behind me.

I am finally making something of myself after having a terrible bought of the sleeping sickness and almost did not make it. When I awoke, I found myself the oldest one in a small village. Am working at getting life back in this town with a couple of people who are fast becoming friends, though they tend to sleep a lot.

I am still leading the town and thanks to the timely return of a resource gatherer, the town looks to be getting on its own feet also with the help of a neighboring town.

I am a blacksmith who stumbled upon a golden business opportunity. Earning the trust of a knight led to a loan that put my fears at ease. Already have one worker who seems trustworthy though he can't remember much of his past (Something about a shovel:)

I am still running the business and have had many employees come and gone. The few loyal ones have and will continue to be rewarded to the best of my ability. We finally got the resources resupplied so business is booming again.

I am an aspiring seaman travelling to the sea to build a boat and start a trading company

I am fairly seasoned in the trading business and have managed to work and trade myself a veritable mountain of goods on my ship and am loving the life except for all those people who offer a trade and then promptly fall asleep. Oh well...guess I'll wait.

I am first mate on a ship that seems to be going nowhere. Am thinking the captain is a bit absent-minded but will trust him...for now

I am now a fairly weathered seaman as I have built my own boat after my captain abandoned me. As a result of my propensity to help others ended up taking a long voyage on another ship after some pirates with nothing but my bare hands and a shield to fight them.
