The I AM thread. (The 4-day rule applies!)

[Nosajimiki]

Update time I guess...

An old friend returned after a long and unnanounced period of exploration. Hopefully things should liven back up a bit now that he's back.

I got to be town leader for nearly two years, though don't feel like I was able to do a very good job... very happy to have the old ruler back.

Still not too comfortable about being called a ruler, but have become much more comfortable with my role as a "social adminstrator".

Almost home after nearly 3 years, never actually thought I'd miss the place.

My fiance snuck out of town on her boat while I was building our house. She didn't say where, why, or that she was going. I now spend my days stairing at my sword certain I should use it, but uncertain as to whether to turn it on myself or to hunt her down for takeing advantage of me.

Finally have something better than that bone shield and bagh-nack. Will have my own house soon too.

I am murdered.

new: This place drove us mad and nearly killed us. Would be dead by now if not for the observations of a blind woman.

new: I never know when to shut-up... but somehow it seems to have earned me a kiss. I wonder how long it will take her to find out just how little I know about shuting-up.

new: Hawks, Snakes, and Stone Knights scare me shitless... I feel compleatly deffensless against all of them. If only I had a battleaxe.

[SumBum]

This looks fun... See if I can do this vaguely enough.

I have finally found a home and family....but is it as perfect as it seemed?

I was on the brink of adventure and exploration, but instead find myself the leader of a guild. Tasked to recruit and build upon the operation.

I am sad, travelling. After crossing an entire continent to find a home, I've had to leave it for supplies.

I have passed through many uninhabited towns. Tired of travelling, I intend to build a home in one of the empty towns and make fabulous clothes to replace this drab loincloth.

I am a coward who has avoided going to war. Now I sit around waiting for word of the war's outcome.

I am bored, but feel too loyal to my spawnhome to leave.

I am in the middle of nowhere gathering pretty gems just for the sake of having them.

A cog of an organization. I work hard, but I'm not sure why.

I am settling down where there are no rules.

I'm an aspiring trader, setting up a company with a woman I both fear and admire.

I am floating aimlessly on a ship given to me by a stranger.

[deadboy]

I'm fairly certain half-way through writing this that this is my two times ago I am post, but never mind

Mourning his dead girlfriend

Trying something new with his life, and vaguely intriguing to him, and certainly benficial to the place he is in anyhow

No longer a king and in serious trouble, hoping that he hasn't just come out of the frying pan and into the fire

Leaving for a very old home of his, that despite the fact he has some bad memories of it, it is the only place in his life that has given him good memories that haven't turned out bunk

A retired leader as he became tired of being stuck in one place. He needed new oppurtunities

A leader again, but a very busy one, and having one hundred pretty big problems thrown at him all at once

Alive

So almost home she can taste it! But worried about how much things will have changed

Still a happy mute

Facing loss with difficulty, and having difficulties expressing himself and becoming frustrated with it, especially as he is deeply saddened

A worn out owner of a buisness who is thinking of cutting his profits and leaving the job

A man with plans, who is slightly agitated at the seeming ineptitude of those around him. Everyone he needs to make his plans work keeps falling asleep!

Coming home

Trying to reintergrate herself into the community

Asleep, no longer obsessed with that woman

Dead

Broken - but still my favorite character

Absolutely distraught, on the verge of a mental breakdown if she hasn't had one already, confused, worried, fearing for her life, fearing for her friends life, mourning, fearing that her greatest friend was merely using her, but generally denying it in her mind, but there is the odd thread of doubt, and generally her life isn't going well

A young girl who likes to make an impression

A newspawn man who hasn't yet found his place

A polite newspawn

Dead

A...... quirky newspawn

Trying some fairly new things for her, in the hopes of something or other that she isn't really sure about but someone said they'd do something with her and then they died so she's trying these knew things so that she can do the "real" version of what they were going to do

I am now......

A girl I must've told you about who is stuck on an abandoned island with one other man/toy, and has her own sets of morality embedded in her head

A quite chirpy young woman who is setting out to join a new community, but it is quite far away

A very loyal soldier in an army, who seems to have chivalry in his blood because there is no other way he hasn't turned into a thief or a murderer with his opportunities

A man who just seems to be looking for trouble every way he turns

[Nakranoth]

Update time...

Happily playing with new machines.

Happily playing with more new machines.

In a very dire situation.

Somehow survived... by less than a day... now in good condicion.

On a trip that will hopefuly end in combat.

Getting ready for a new trip... where's the blood?

Starting a new home and almost definitely in love.

Getting a bit restless... the newspawns are making it a bit more interesting though.

In a rather heafty contract.

Almost finished a large contract.

Afraid that I might cause the appocalypse.

Confused about who or what I am.

Beginning to become restless again.

Too busy to even think about being restless.

Almost ready to begin my new life.

I sail to my new life of...

Struggling to get by.

Alive, and doing well... Tandems are hard to build...

A gnome with the sneezings.

Still a gnome... oh and I'm building a quarry it's really cool i'm having a lot of fun with...

About to die alone.

Dead... I wonder if anyone'll find my journal.

Happy to have been of use in spite of being blind.

Working on some roads away from home...
(new)Torn and hungry I shall not give up until the last drop of blood is sucked from me by the diezens of hell... my life is yours oh savior.
(new)Followed a friend to the middle of a desert... I wasn't prepared for how far a walk it would be... some crazed, half starved man can't even see my friend.

Hahahaha! Who's the crazy one!!!

[Pie]

I am living in the mountains, trying to get up the courage to tell my boss that we need to do something productive soon or els the company will fall apart, but I'm a timid person so I can't get up the courage.

I have recently gone looking for limestone, but i think i'm lost

I am building a dingi to go to a settlenment that I have only heard about, and I hope it will be better than the other places I visited.

a member of a large orgonasation, doing factory work.

I am what you could call a musition. I make up songs every day and am currently making another lute.

sleepy, I wish this town had more exitenment.

I have a large amount of materials, and am hoping to either join an orgonasation or create my oun.

I have a large amount of materials, and am hoping to create an orgonasation, knowing that an orgonasation here will really flourish for the lack of competition

I have traveld most of my life, even though I'm only 27 years old, I want to settle down in this interesting community. I just hope I can fit in.

I'm currently gathering wood, I had hoped i could trade for some, but everyone here needs wood more than they need my products. I just hope I can gather wood fast enough to finish my boat faster than someone els could.

[DELGRAD]

I want to die. Will gather corn my remaining days. Someone arrives and askes if anyone has some corn to trade. That was some 187 days ago. I still live. I eat corn.

I planned for that character to plan to die, but damn that corn. Him good character.

My newer characters are starting to gain personalities if their own now. Strange how stuck my older characters personalities are because of me. Older wanted to do all for themselves. Most newer want to work for those that are for themselves.

[SekoETC]

In order of length:

I am just standing here, catching a word here and there but none of them are talking to me. I don't feel like joining the conversation because I have nothing to say. I wish I could go home... Or - what home? There is no home! I feel trapped; sometimes I feel so awful that I'm almost about to start crying, but I couldn't give her the pleasure of seeing that. Sometimes I even wish I could kill them all... They would ask me why, why are you doing that to us after all we have done to you? But of course it wouldn't happen that way. A few quick strikes and I'd be dead, thrown into the sea and forgotten. You have given me no sympathy, you have dragged me around like a slave, forced me to work on your projects and I have no idea where we are headed. I swallow my tears and hope that one day this will end.

I am locked inside for some reason. I wish they could finally break that lock. Sixth time's the charm... I'm afraid they haven't left anything lying around for grabs. This was a shitty gig and a total waste of time. Maybe we could break into their storage room later on but if it's gonna take as long as it has taken to break the first door, the owners will most likely be back before we succeed. Damnit. I'm a very patient man but now I'm very disappointed. Someone's gonna have to pay, one way or another.

I am ashamed of myself in a way, maybe it's because I wouldn't have the courage to kill myself, or maybe for the fact that I tried it... after all they've done trying to convince me that my life has a meaning, that I'm not a burden. Yet when the silent moments arrive, I find myself drifting away. I wish I had something to do.

I am trying to deal with unusual guests. I'm surprised one of them hasn't lunged at my throat yet for what I said. I wonder if he even heard me... Another one I found strangely attractive but it appears she could never even imagine such an attraction. I'm glad I never brought it up, saved me from the embarrasment.

I am so disappointed, and angry. Why won't she wake up? A part of me wants to toss this ring at her feet, telling her she has betrayed me and I hate her, but I just can't... So much wrath boiling inside of me but I stay silent, just sleeping away; it's easier that way. *sigh* ...No one cares about me anyway.

I am exploring the mountains because I forgot that I need a hammer to finish the machine-clogging project I started earlier. Turning back would be a waste, so now I'm looking for an alternative route.

I am starting new projects, a whole bunch of them. It's fun. But finishing them is not as fun... I hope the two others will stay busy so that I wouldn't have to work.

I am trying to get a job and earn enough metals before someone finds me... they always do. I need to get away from this blasted island.

I am wishing I could find a place with food and without dangerous animals. Those cheetahs are horrible...

I am sleeping, sometimes waking up to hit myself though for what reason has fled my mind.

I am sleeping.

[Sunni Daez]

...new toys are always so much fun to play with!!! even if they are sleepy

Her Toy sleeps, her love died.... what to do, oh what to do... alone and growing very bitter

...and he died.... after alot of troubles, being kidnapped AGAIN ,,, she is now at peace...alive but at peace.

The man that helped her escape... has now captured her heart... A new life, a new land... freedom and peace once again.

...and he left her..without a fight..she was honest..told the truth.. he left..she thought forever... he came back to a difficult situation, and left without a fight...maybe he didn't love her as much as she thought...

The business has died, no workers, no joy left... they all died... now.. he sleeps.... all he does is sleep... once in awhile he awakes... but..*sigh*

...and he died..... he returned with the coal..kissed finally her..she kissed him back...moments later...he died! Now she is at a loss of what to do with life..she has returrned to her home and has but 1 she calls friend..

Interesting man he is... though she knows better, and has been warned.. she cannot help herself... the secretes this man holds, the life which burns inside him... she has to...just has to do this....

....and she sleeps!

She has awaken!!!! Life is changing so quickly yet took far to long to do so... She cherishes this woman, would set her atop the world if she could.. bussiness still dictates her life, but she has found a way to combine the two...Her heart, her mind..both happy today..

......how pathetic has most my cantrian lives become?

an improvement!!!

[the_antisocial_hermit]

Sleeping, seems like forever. Maybe I am dead.

Sleeping a lot, haven't really felt very well in awhile. I'm not sure if I feel in place anymore.

Things are going about normal for me. I keep hoping some people will come back with things we need.. but it seems they never do.

Quiet as usual, watching a friend run from everything instead of standing up for herself. I need to get moving again to check up on someone else, someone more important.

Living my quiet life, happily married, but unsure of some things that may happen soon. It's the first thing we've had to discuss really, first thing we haven't been of one mind about in 27 years.

Sleeping, sleepwalking, generally quiet. I'll keep to myself in my home after I've gotten some more food gathered.

Woke again after a long time. Can't believe how long I slept and how much things have changed. I have to stay awake more, have to be there for the one I care about.

I've sailed and seen many lands. Each one has broken my heart in some small way. Finally we left the last one and found another; maybe it will be liveable; at least memories aren't there. Everything else can be put behind.. if I can find him again. Running off after someone on a bike in a place like this.. Maybe the sea is safer. Too many lives lost on land, too many people with grudges.

Work hard, I've been blessed by the ones whose parts I wear. I can't give it all away, and I strive to make it more. Larger and larger it will grow, under the blessings and guidance of ... Must be on the forefront of new technology, must stay strong and do what I can, help build something undisputable and send trading expeditions into -that- area to give rise to more competition against the one person I truly hate. Maybe it's irrational hate; the only feeling I've ever felt; I've always been devoid of emotion, except that one. What will you do when the most needed and dangerous resource is traded freely and brought to the people near your home in large quantities?

I sleep.. I wake a little.. I help some.. what sort of wife am I?

I'm ready to get this show on the road. I've never stuck in one place so long and am getting bored. I left men for less boredom than this, left nice towns that would have me stay. The one thing keeping me here are the pretty things that I can get so easily.. it is an advantage, not having to work for what you get. Of course, I've never had to do it before, either. I suppose this way is just more exhilerating than batting my eyes. Exhilerating when we do something anyway. This way is the first way I learned to get things without really working. The other was always just secondary and the best I could do by myself.

I'm cooking sleepily. I have gotten better, and I'm not sure I'm so nervous anymore, just a little sleepy.

Estoy flotando en el mar.

Okay you either have one character, or two, and one of them is just poorly RP'ed..

[SekoETC]

Or maybe he's a bunch of people who are doing nothing worth mentioning. Of course the second sentence was the player's remark. We're not forced to write about all our characters here, though most do.
